Flightsuit Milia may be the only thing better than flightsuit Grace.

I'm pretty darn sure that MP SW is in the US, but being held back in Wal-Mart's distribution centers for black Friday. (because there is no way that both Canada and the UK actually got it first---they merely released it first)

Is it just me, or is the Figma Meiya a bit more Fraulein-esque than others? Are her boots removable from her feet?---kinda looks like it. Any potential for parts-swapping with Fraulein?

Says VFA-125 right on it, so I'm betting STRKFITRON 125. They're the West Coast training squadron, so they're from Lemoore.

If it were a video game, I'd so want to play it.

I'm the opposite---my normal play-through is good guy, then bad girl.

Is there a female version too? So many DLC/exclusives are male-only when it comes to things like that.

What? Carry-over pre-order bonus? Explain please--I've not seen anywhere that links the two.

Apparently, a lot of people just walked into Papajohn's and asked for a coupon and got it. (I actually ordered a pizza a bit ago without knowing about the coupon, but of course kept it when I got it) Anyways, I just watched a few chunks of it and here's what I noticed for "IMAX": The entire forest battle is full-screen. There's a 1 second extra scene of Starscream, and I think Megs and not-Blackout get extra scenes too. Possibly an extra second of Prime climbing up onto not-Blackout to rip open his face. Most of Devastator is full-screen. There's a 1 second extra scene of the "7th Constructicon" driving up. (the one that the legends-mini-Dev has that the $100 one doesn't). 1 second extra of Skids climbing up onto Dev's arm.

I fiddled with the DA:O creator a bit, but didn't really try for a good face, etc. Will do so when I'm feeling better. Haven't decided yet if likenesses are possible, or simply "attractive".

And even cheaper if you use the Papajohn's coupon. At Blu-Ray.com the vote is like 85% for getting the Wal-Mart version. It's the cheapest, and has more raw footage. Who would choose a plastic Bumblebee case over that?

A bit OT, but IIRC Super SF2 Turbo was a notably heavier cartridge than SF2.

"High-end" SNES games cost more. You could tell by weight. More weight=more chips=more RAM. (Nintendo controlled/produced every part, so there were never any "refinements"). Chrono Trigger was possibly the most expensive of that category, $80 IIRC. Megaman X2 and X3 might have cost more than standard as well, due to being among the few with their chip/feature (can't remember the name, but they are among the few that use the 2 small slots aside the main slot---go look at the cartridge, they're pretty unique among SNES games).

Like many teen fighters, the F-16 can technically supercruise when clean and light. But nothing but an ATF is in the 1.3+ "worth mentioning" supercruise. Because seriously, 0.95 vs 1.02 are effectively meaningless. But if you've got .3+ over somebody, that's something. I seriously doubt the new thing even hits 1.1 ::reads article:: 32,000lbs of thrust? Heck, late model Vipers have that already. And you want to add all that extra junk to it? M1.05 is optimistic....

You might want to mention that the Ensign Jack Ernie story is total BS. (But it's so famous and so oft-told that most people and websites think it's true) Are those markings final? Missiles seem lacking in paint apps, considering the scale. Sparrows especially, most 1/144 ones are much more detailed.

Yet again----I really only want a Wii for the retro games and remakes. (Still don't have one, still costs too much when I don't really want any actual Wii games)

Hey, ugly FAST packs save me money. I sure hope the green VF-27 release isn't delayed for ugly movie designs though...

False Sheryl being Grace would be awesome. Kind of doubt it though---more likely Grace-influenced/controlled/designed or something.

Ironically, I think the Bishoujo Rogue is the most common figure here. (ironic since she's not anime). (and I've got one too)

OMG, an F-22 that's not totally grey with grey markings and grey insignia. Check the fin flash: http://www.elmendorf.af.mil/shared/media/p...F-5929O-003.jpg

Oh, I have a question...

Looks a lot more like a B-2 to me.

Eh, I seem to recall some VF-84 planes that combined low-vis insignia with full-color markings. VF-111, too. May not be typical, but not without precedent.

It looks "lessened" compared to the sketch. Every curve is more subtle, every arch flattened, every projection pulled in. Just a little, but everywhere, and it adds up to blandness. It's like if you took something very carefully and sharply ground with crisp edges, then sand blasted it for a while. The overall shape would be identical, but it'd be all smoothed over.
