    Can't let this thread fall down to the 2nd page...

    Yup, tampo-printed insignia is decently common with the "Encore" reissues. And it's done to best effect on the seekers, since they have the huge ones on their wings.

    BTW--is Wild Bill the ultimate peg-warmer? Some figs may have greater raw numbers, but those figs were also PRODUCED in much greater numbers. But Wild Bill---I think like 1 per city sold, and every other one ever just sits there. There may be 20 basic Cobra Troopers at times, but that's because the other 40 sold...

    Just in case, I'll try one last time: The Skywarp/Thundercracker G1 "reissue but with the Decepticon insignia painted on instead of stickers" (which I think is an AWESOME change) 2-pack is now only 55 bucks at TFsource. Anyone want to split a pack? I want Thundercracker. http://tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/161/

    Sigh--went over to the SWtOR forums again. I think the majority of people there "still don't get it". Half the threads are dedicated to features that I suspect won't be in the game at all--but were there in Galaxies. (I never played Galaxies, but it's so talked about that I know the basics--kind of like Pokemon and Harry Potter)

    The best thread I've found about it is this: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=458725#post458725 I still say there's no etching/removal of plastic, from what I can see. Toys etc sure wouldn't stay shiny and glossy if there was any of that going on.

    Except that MilkManX's friends list is full.

    I am (with MSIE). I just cleared my cookies again, will see if it holds this time.

    DVD playing on PC---just about every freebie one. AVS, VLC, Zoom, Media Player. ::downloading trial of WinDVD, see how it does::

    My fear is that SWtOR is the first "highly influenced by EA" game. Thus, micro-transactions.

    Sort of on-topic: A lot of DVD's have still pic galleries where you use the "next" button on the remote to switch between pics. But they never seem to work when played on a PC--the PC never seems to recognize/realize there's another chapter/frame to "activate" and it either greys out the button, or clicking on the appropriate button does nothing. Anyone know of a DVD program on the PC that can work a "still image gallery"?

    Hmmmmn. Gunmetal Grey PS3 MGS4 bundle's available again, for the same price as the current 80GB version. Definitely thinking about it. Any comments anyone? I *really* like the gunmetal vs the black. Only concern--I know the latest (CECHK) 80GB ones are the lightest/quietest/coolest PS3's around. Does anyone know how "advanced" the gunmetal 40GB ones are, noise/heat-wise? I know they're better than launch 60GB, but are they equal to current 80GB?

    No, I get the impression from the thread that it's basically a powerful anti-oxidant, and is "un-oxidizing" the bromine in the plastic. It's not eating away the outer layer of plastic, it's sucking the oxygen out of it. If it ate away the outer layer, then the fine texture of the old keyboard keys would have been lost--and they look fine.

    Re: engine detail. Way too shallow. Common problem in all models, not just toys. The actual afterburner is about 4 to 5 feet in from the nozzle. Not "just inside". A lot of toys/models ::coughYAMATOcough:: also have the same problem with the compressor fan---just inside the intake lip, instead of deep within.

    Alto's eye piece is molded clear, not green---one of the several ways Ozma's seems to be a better kit.

    Animated Blitzwing is assembled wrong from the factory, check it out: http://www.tfw2005.com/radicons-customs/re...;searchid=12256 (as in, they all are, it's not a random QC issue) I just did the fix. Not a huge difference, but since it only takes a minute and 2 screws to do, it's worth doing.

    This is the same batch of pics I sent Wm Cheng, lots of cockpit shots, plus a few various helpful shots.

    I think they based it more off the 1/55 than the actual series... Maybe that's the infamous moth mode version?

    I would so buy Fräulein Milia (Spacy officer uniform, Spacy flight suit, and purple Meltrandi TV flight suit), Mylene, Grace (regular and flightsuit), Sally Ford, maybe Macro Klan, and a Nanase or two.

    I hate 'em, but they are popular--go to any store right now, and THOSE are what are sold out for Xmas. (for Star Wars at least)

    Was the purple-tinted Future the very first coat, or did you "Future the canopy" prior to using the tinted coat? (I've been wondering if some of my problems may be related to always Futuring the canopy first---perhaps it makes the canopy so slick that everything else after has problems going on nicely--there's nothing to "grip")

    Ada was cool and sexy back in RE2.

    It's not just the angle, the shape itself is off---look more like F-15 fins than F-14. FYI, F-14 tailfin outward cant is 5 degrees.

    Quick question: do newer releases still have "white" instrument panels, or did they ever fix it to black?
  25. David Hingtgen
    I *wish* I could paint gold like that...
