    I would have liked either Olga or Sunny as a cyborg ninja more, actually. Even after MGS4 I still don't like Raiden.

    Darn it, now I have to buy a Wii....

    In short--no. The ones currently sold individually do NOT combine. (and there is little chance of fan-made connector parts working either, due to scale and likely lack of several entire characters) For the big gift-pack: You get 6 vehicles. They can be stuck together end-to-end to make Devastator. They do nothing more. (and it's not all that screen-accurate either, considering that that's all it has to do)

    They remake Ninja Gaiden more often than they make a new one...
  5. David Hingtgen
    To nit-pick: If it doesn't work, then it's not really a "launcher", is it? Then they're just "molded missile details", like on Classics Galvatron.

    Saw it tonight. Will go against the flow and say it's only a "B" as Pixar goes. 3D not worth the extra expense IMHO. Wall-E still my all-time fave Pixar.

    Welcome to MW from TFW2005.

    Regardless of what type/size of missile they are----working launchers in the arms means big arms. (especially if they try to be screen-accurate, what with the giant tri-missile crossbow SS uses)
  9. David Hingtgen
    The most common definition for a squadron is 12 planes. Can be more or less (especially when there's only a single squadron in the wing) but generally---12 planes per squadron, 3 squadrons per wing. And my money's on Ozma's Skull Squadron being unrelated to Roy's/Hikaru's. Both the US Navy and US Marines have a "Black Knights" squadron, and they're even both parts of the US military---surely a para-military group can have their own squadron with a name identical to another.

    That actually sounds less hopeful than before. I figured "hidden missile launchers" meant accurate to an F-22's AMRAAM or Sidewinder bays. If they're inside the arm, that means really friggin huge arms, like the 07 movie figure----which probably means they're hanging under the wings or something... Working missile launchers are the WORST possible gimmick for a transforming plane--they are the largest gimmick. (yes, I realize the irony that planes are among the few real-world things that DO have missile launchers---unlike say semi trucks and sports cars)

    All depends on if they really listened to people about the SS kibble issues, or if they go the "bigger means more gimmicks" route like they did with $70 BB, and actually gets LESS accurate to accomodate many more gimmicks. With how gimmicky and kibble-fied Leader Jetfire is, I'd hope their kibble-gimmick hunger is satiated, and they give us ONE good "jet mode accuracy over all other considerations" mass-released big jet toy this decade.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Really, all I want are people who know planes to report on the accuracy/alt-modes of the various new things shown but not photographed---cone-head VTOL Dirge, someone I forget (another VTOL?), and Leader Starscream. It took a while for Classics Octane to be positively identified--half the reports said "bomber jet". (didn't help that they showed an A400M in the presentation)

    F-14 radar means F-14 nose...
  15. David Hingtgen
    Hmmmn. Monsters vs Aliens was said by many to be inferior in 3D. Up is better in 3D?
  16. David Hingtgen
    Because Ultimate BB is next to it?
  17. David Hingtgen
    Ok, NOW Leader Starscream is confirmed. Yay. US MP Skywarp pic: http://images46.fotki.com/v1517/filexABP/7...03/DSC_0936.jpg Black nosecone and silver intakes---if those parts were swappable I'd darn-near buy it just to save some repainting on my MP TC. (those 2 parts are insanely pinned--I've only seen one person that could un-pin MP seeker intakes)
  18. David Hingtgen
    Classics Jetfire repainted to Roy VF-1S: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-cus...fire-vf-1s.html I really didn't know if it should get its own thread in the "Macross Customs" forum or what. It's kinda unique---it's the opposite of 99% of other Jetfire etc customs. (kinda surprised Shin missed this)
  19. David Hingtgen
    Same here. MP Grimlock is in the "I'll pay 50 or 60 bucks, but not over 100." If never released domestically--I'll never own one. Leader Prime--still waiting for a chromed version! Or at the very least, one with as many paint apps as the first release of the 07 version. There's a LOT more grey in robot mode than there should be. PS to someone that has one---why ARE the arms so far away from the body?
  20. David Hingtgen
    I would bet they were laughing at the idea of a teleported beagle, than whose beagle it was...
  21. David Hingtgen
    Yes, Wal-Mart, Target etc has them cheaper than BBTS.
  22. David Hingtgen
    A few Botcon toy news highlights: 4th Leader-class RotF toy coming Fall of 2010. (I wonder if they mis-spoke and meant Fall 2009). Not Blackout. Wouldn't say if it is Starscream. Human Alliance Barricade. Legends Devastator coming to US in Spring of 2010, probably a giftset. I plan to import now, as I'm not waiting a year... MP Skywarp coming to US, more toy-accurate colors. MP Grimlock---not coming yet, may be a store exclusive within 18 months--they want to bring it out, just no way to do so yet.
  23. David Hingtgen
    150 is possible for a human in Star Trek----medical advances. Admiral McCoy was like 140 in TNG...
  24. David Hingtgen
    All I can say is "we told you so."
  25. David Hingtgen
    Ransack rocks, just FYI.
