    Ok, I'll be more specific: I want a high-pressure steel-die injection-molded 1/100 Sandrock. The B-Club kit was rare and expensive back when it was new, it's only even more so now. And ancient by modern Gunpla standards. (and it's not even really Gunpla--more like Gunres).

    I've still been waiting 20 years for a 1/100 Sandrock. Not EW, not retconned. The original. THAT is the best-looking version to me, by far. (Plus it's actually on-screen canon for more than 3 mins).

    Voltron approved! https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09b6-0d4c-4307-9da8-3ee9f3d368d6/post/f20a58da-a8fd-4a2c-a0db-3a094de6fe21 About 1:40 in.

    Corrected correction: drop tanks with micro-missile launchers built in. They are shaped very much like the F-5's tip-tanks.

    Forget the Saturn V, give me the shuttle: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/50a447cc-0acb-4fff-b3c9-41739fed157c Support it to make it a reality!

    Thundercats had great animation for its day, and the music is still among the best. The show was frankly better than the writing, if that makes sense...

    There you go.

    I bet one Feral Rex leg is made of more plastic than Hasbro's Predaking.

    That P-51 was being piloted by Vlado Lenoch, who was killed just recently piloting another P-51. https://theaviationist.com/2017/07/17/popular-u-s-airshow-pilot-vlado-lenoch-killed-in-p-51-crash-with-passenger/

    Still looks Klingon, specifically K'tinga class , etc.

    No, I mean an all-new Weltall.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Hmmn, the sign says NEW DESIGNS by Ishigaki. So I think they're just showing the original designs vs "having nothing to show at all". I'm not expecting to get a Weltall figure. Maybe "Weltall 3.0". PS---transformable Weltall, please? (I don't expect color-change, but physically---it works extremely well--it canonically wears all its kibble on its back). Just have a perma-Id-colored version.

    Combined with Powertrain, and Diesel, this is a disturbing trend---why does everyone keep eliminating Motormaster's main accent color? He's supposed to have PURPLE. Purple frame, purple tanks, etc. The "real" Motormaster even went all-out with a fully purple frame, and it's friggin awesome:

    XTB's Menasor is ridiculously toon-accurate (same as MP Inferno--not in a good way). DX9's Breakdown looks great, but combined mode has yet to be seen---it could also be "4 grey blocks for limbs, with cars as decoration"---which'd kill it for me. I want the cars AS the limbs. (as was always intended, but oft-misinterpreted by the animators--to the point that it was done wrong more often than right). Menasor has the worst animation-model of all the combiners, and about the hardest to pull off (pure silver Motormaster turns into all-black torso). Why such an awful model seems to be "followed so closely" I don't know. Regardless of everything else, I think FP did a very good job in blending toy and toon aesthetics, for the "look" they went with. Generations Defensor---not bad, Blades looked great long ago when first leaked, but I am NOT liking the alt-mode for First Aid. It's totally not his "style" of ambulance. Also, colors will be important. Defensor is very easy to get wrong, since it's all "subtleties". HotSpot is a quite pale blue, Streetwise is light grey, Blades is right on the red-orange border, etc. Just doing "red, white, blue" is "close, but actually the palette of something else..."

    Gah, Photobucket!!!!

    Those castings look pretty clean! (And I always vastly prefer grey resin to tan)

    Then I'm just going to make sure you're aware of THE A-TEAM set: And yes, I'm very much hoping for the Voltron set to be approved. Though I think it'd look better if they used their "pearl silver" plastic, instead of just "normal light grey". (yes, silver-painted or chromed parts would be even better, but there's no way they'd do that many parts like that----silver painted parts are kinda rare, and chromed is REALLY rare----there's no way they'd do all those bricks and plates in any of the "fancy" silver colors---pearl silver-grey is the only realistic option for a "metallic" effect)

    I like the older ones---more unique. The new ones look very super-hero-esque. Neither unique nor very mecha/robot-like.

    The official pics of the original MP-12 had solid, opaque paint as well. I wouldn't get my hopes up that final production MP-12+ will have any improvement there.

    Now that it's out, and it has been "owned and assembled" for a while, the general consensus for Shuraking is: Stay far, far away. Apparently it's a godawful mess in every sense, in combined mode. Numerous issues, more than simply "applying Future" will fix. Does it look awesome in most pics? Yes, yes it does. I considered buying their Grimlock alone, just to have a really cool Grimlock.

    Well, that worm now has far greater backstory than most of the Ep IV cantina aliens...

    It'll probably be cheaper to buy a real SNES, and the games you want, than the MiniSNES' scalp-rate...

    Some years ago, a local video game store got ahold of some new-old-stock SNES games. Cases of them. I was there for the unboxing. NG trilogy was one of the cases. Nothing else was nearly as good, but I picked up a couple others.
