    Possibly stupid question, but I can't choose FedEx for HLJ----is it related to the "valks are expensive, so can't go by SAL" thing? Surely FedEx is "good enough" for the expensive stuff? :edit: Odd, it will let me choose SAL.

    So, now that I finally have a VF-31 on the way-----what's the best transformation video? I've tried to keep up in the thread over the months, but I honestly can't remember if there's any warnings/things to remember etc.

    What exactly doesn't fit? If it's the doors in car mode, I feel it's an inherent design flaw, not a QC thing. (I think they are honestly wider than the rest of the car).

    I was watching for it but never saw it. I think she's the only one that never did work with her "assigned" valk/pilot etc. Don't recall her in a flightsuit either. (Would've remembered that for sure).

    Yeah, Freya and Makina shouldn't share the same mold for 2 obvious reasons. PS--did we EVER see Makina in Delta 4?

    Still at HLJ, low stock.
  8. David Hingtgen
    Still at HLJ now but low stock.

    I *think* I got an HLJ one. It was available and I got to the very end and got the "thank you!"screen, but it's still "no open orders" in my account. And now sold out. ::edit:: Woot! Order confirmation email from HLJ.

    Ok, so now they've done a Gyanko kit----where's RAIN????? She even showed up in GBF....
  11. David Hingtgen
    I missed HLJ by 20 mins? Gah.

    The heck? Now it'll be on my next credit card bill and I'll have to pay it off, but it won't even ship until a month after that. Will N-Y "refund" payment? I intentionally waited until the payment deadline just so this wouldn't happen.

    Yeah, every theme is messed, both mobile browsers and desktop ones. Some themes are worse than others. "Tags" are affected the most though. Ugly and hard to read at best, utterly invisible at worst.

    Depending on how they do it, Max/Milia valks are often "molded white, with large areas of color then painted on" because it's much easier to paint rich red and blue over white plastic, than vice-versa. So even like the lower legs can be molded in white, then the entire sides are painted. So you may end up with the legs having "pink" accents due to being molded in that color, and clashing with "pure" white paint in neighboring areas. (The 1/48 is still the best Milia paint job ever---they did an amazing job having the red paint match the red plastic, and the white paint match the white plastic)

    Then on to the next one---Ideas SR-71: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a0a7940a-e575-420f-ace5-2b7bd3d962c7 I figure being in NASA's scheme, used for research, and even when the USAF had it, it only ever carried cameras, it may "slip past" LEGO's unofficial "no war machines" rule.

    N-Y just sent an email moving it to where it was, to 8/31 again.

    ::cough:: They sure know how to simplify/cheapen the YF-23 and put it into production...

    I'm about the biggest Wing Zero Kai fan around, but 27000 is nuts, unless it's a WAY bigger figure than I think it is. I think I'll just be getting the High-Resolution one.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Good, looks more purplish than red.
  20. David Hingtgen
    That's half the reason I'm keeping this pre-order----they're likely the only way I'll be able to get a VF-31C, and I can't risk another cancel/swap before then.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Well, I just paid my pre-order at N-Y. Though if it ends up being pink, I'll have a Milia VF-1J for sale soon...
  22. David Hingtgen
    First really stealthy Sukhoi? I vote for Su-57 Fader.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Already said, but get a Yeti stand. Get some adapters to accomodate 2 or 3 valks on a single stand, and the "price per valk" drops a bunch.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Su-27 is the "crane" semi-officially, but they do use Flanker as well. I can't think of any Russian jet with an official name.

    This is an F-35 canopy through my totally standard camera's lens--no filter/coating AFAIK: Kind of a pink-gold effect.
