    But he's also basically locked in to "newer=bigger number", so he can't use 109 or 190 etc, needs to use other companies and use say 229 or 335. (they are both "famous" and "big numbers" from that group) (choosing big numbers from obscure designs isn't really his thing, AFAIK---he'd certainly go more for the 229 or 335, since they are interesting/unique/famous)

    So, I just got the most-recent re-release of Supernova Sandrock, and this is the box: (Also, I'm not super-fond of how the HiRM Wing Zero build is going, I may buy the Supernova or RG version, for my "best Wing Zero")

    So will FF7R+ come out for the PS5, 6-7 months after FF7R for PS4? Seems like either a huge timing mistake, or a missed opportunity at this point. "FF7R, exclusively for the PS5!" would have been one heck of a selling point. Fights would break out in order to be the first to get on the wait-list to be allowed to pre-order...

    Whoa, that looks WAY too red, more like Johnny Ridden's Zaku. I demand the pink comet!

    Hmmmmmmmmn. Are shuttlebays 2 and 3 the same size? Does like "the master CGI file" for the Galaxy-class have that error, and everyone uses it, causing that issue to become common?
  6. David Hingtgen
    Let me know. (though shipping something that big may cost as much as the figure itself, and I may have to pass)

    I'm thinking the MK11 Terminator DLC, may actually have a better storyline...

    I am hoping for at least one flash-back scene for Adm Picard, with an older, worn Ent-E or something... Or maybe, "current day" scene with a REALLY old, worn-out Ambassador class, patrolling the backwaters of the Federation, that Picard and crew will run into...

    I apparently live by the only Burlington that never got cheap Trypticons... (I honestly don't want Trypticon itself much, but I *really* want a Full-Tilt)

    Wood elves, cave(dark) elves, mountain elves, etc are all well-established. So why not space elves?

    Could wait until it's finished, wait for a sale, then buy the whole set at once, paying just one shipping cost. (this usually becomes possible, for US/UK-based ones at least--not sure if Japan-only ones ever end up this way). From what I can tell, generally: Japan will do a volume every week. UK will often do every other week, US will do monthly. Thus, they'll group them differently---the UK/US will get 2x-4x as many parts at once, per shipment.

    I'd love Wedge, but the sculpt is terrible. Someone on Twitter said it looks more like a BSG Apollo (Richard Hatch) and I gotta agree.

    Anyone interested in the P-Bandai MG EW Heavyarms kit? (OVA navy/teal). I'm thinking of selling mine.

    I've gotten "used stuff sold as new" PC parts multiple times from Amazon, so I'm VERY wary of shopping for any high-value components from there now. My guess is that BECAUSE of their return policy, they get a lot of stuff back, don't check it, and just put it back on the shelf.

    Is Newegg just absolutely worthless now? It seems worse than last time I checked, and that was "a good notch down from the time before". Suggestions/alternatives? Looking for "mobo/RAM/CPU combos", for an upgrade. (it'll basically be a new tower, but I'm reusing GPU, and maybe PSU)

    I'm just curious how/why The Baroness would tie into an Arashikage-focused movie? I mean, if it was a Destro movie, yeah. I'm assuming purely because she's one of the most popular characters in the franchise, and not because there's a huge Baroness-Snakeyes (or Baroness-Stormshadow) feud I'm unaware of?

    I see VF-4, more than anything, for how it'd transform.

    The lifeboats near the phaser strip are dead-on, but the ones further back are WAY off. I sometimes wish they'd just make these these things completely smooth, if they can't ever get more than 50% of the printing to line up. At least the windows aren't sculpted in this time. (though lit vs unlit are still mis-aligned a bit, but better than we usually see)

    Hi-Metal R

    David Hingtgen replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    The only comment I've ever heard, for real-world pilots caring about stripe-colors on fighter jets, was for this: I can't remember if it was Iraq or Afghanistan, but before the operation's first strike, it seems some of the pilots didn't want to be the one assigned that plane, as they thought the bright stripes would make them more visible/get shot down. So the squadron's female XO(CO?) decided to take it, and lead the formation in it, flying up front, ahead of all the guys in the squadron.

    What, no dragon-hide leather option? Pre-order cancelled! ;0
  21. David Hingtgen
    Does it run on jet fuel, too? (IIRC, the original Jumo ran on gasoline)
  22. David Hingtgen
    Does the high-gloss plastic in HiRM kits "react" differently to common techniques? Namely panel-lining? The Wing Zero's wings are so glossy pure white, that the sculpted details are almost invisible. But I also don't want to wreck the high-gloss finish. Will Tamiya's panel line stuff (in the bottles) work well, or will it "eat" into the surface all over? (I will not coat the wings beforehand, they will be lined as-is straight from the factory). What about "pour" type Gundam markers?

    Am I the only one who'd like to see Dina Meyer as Bargirl again?

    Any plane "recovered from a lake" doesn't count, as there's usually little more than a spar and a few fuselage frames that are useable. I want to say, 50% original parts required, to be "original"? You can use dozens of sources and make a Frankenstein of many different serial numbers, and that's fine. But if you take a canopy hinge and the left aileron trim-tab, then make the rest at a workshop--"that ain't a restoration, that's a new-build plane". *scews/nuts/bolts/wires don't count. I'm talking "airframe" pieces. Any frame/spar/rib/hoop/stringer/fairing, and probably skin panels (though skin panels are often replaced).

    2 pack? Gah, zero chance I'd buy a two-pack. Just Milia however...
