    All the more reason to wait for a white Roid version.
  2. David Hingtgen
    The model kit's color may not be perfect, but it's a WHOLE lot closer than the DX looks so far. Heck, even the TakaraTomy 1/144 is better.
  3. David Hingtgen
    That's what makes it awesome.
  4. David Hingtgen
    That version was wrong, the new pics are even more wrong. They're making it redder, when they should be making it more purple. Or again---yeesh, just match their own model kit!

    If the F-35 had been cancelled, we could have afforded more F-22's or a butt-load of Super Hornets... Or, just replace all the Block 30 F-16's with Block 60's... Or even better---replace the F-15E with F-16XL's...

    The renewal green VF-27 is a completely different green than the original, and completely wrong. It's the main reason I never bought the newer one---mine is much closer to show-colors.
  7. David Hingtgen
    Sure hope that's not the final colors. Not TOO worried yet, but will keep an eye on it. I mean, really, how could it NOT match the kit colors?
  8. David Hingtgen
    In stock to order at HLJ this minute...

    The Bandai Advance VF-19 still seems to keep going up---is it having any effect on the Arcadia YF-19's price? Thinking of selling my Arcadia, but if all anyone wants is the Advance version, maybe I'll hold on for a while.
  10. David Hingtgen
    I have the exact opposite opinion. ('cuz I want this in live-action on the big screen): Note: I saw this "live" when it aired, and thought it was the greatest thing ever. I'm happy it became a meme all these years later.
  11. David Hingtgen
    YF-19 is like that too IIRC.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Probably both, but mostly the former. "Didn't give it enough time to sit/cool/cure" is the cause of a LOT of issues for figures---warped parts, stuck joints, peeling paint. Sometime another 10 secs to let something fully harden would do amazing things for quality.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Top one.
  14. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, it seemed to last about 36 hours before it went down. Let's try another source:

    You should be able to put 12 on a Super Hornet, but I couldn't find any pics showing it's been done.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Second that---I may like the C even more than the D, and would love an Arcadia one. (that, or Shin's D in the proper shade of blue)
  17. David Hingtgen
    Parts list available? There's not a zillion but it would be nice to be able to see what I'd need. PS---my vote for the chest guns is also 3938.

    Well, more like the super-wide body makes the legs very far apart. He's like as wide as he is long (ignoring neck and tail---just the body). Looks odd to me. I mean, all Sludges look like that to some degree, but this is too much.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Have seen many say it's the 3P figure of the year/ever. If I wasn't so picky about Dinobot dino-modes, I'd have picked it up already. (Too wide).
  20. David Hingtgen
    Did the neck-replacement mod on TFC not-Snaptrap. Not as bad as I feared getting it in, but removing the old one was a pain. A minor difference, but every millimeter helps. Wish the new neck-hinge wasn't light pink though, makes the "floating head" effect stand out more---the original was solid green. Deep pink or dark grey would have been best--darker and blend in.

    I think Graham is a fan of the EE Lightning, so here's a neat pic of one:
  22. David Hingtgen
    I've always thought a Tornado with a zillion Brimstones looked really neat.
  23. David Hingtgen
    eBay flash sale made it quite a bit cheaper---very impressed, nice figure. Best of Poseidon so far. Tried my new "hollow" insignia.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Would buy almost any of those 31A's. And why oh why did we never see any of those missile pod options? I like the one with the larger hatches, less of a -30 clone. As for the technical aspects---hmmn. "VFC". Compared to the known Active Flow Control of the -19-----I'm thinking either vernier flow control or vortex flow control. The diagrams seem equally appropriate for both. I almost want to say "vernier, used to control the vortex". With the explanation of the 31A having larger canards than the FSW versions to balance out the center of lift (thus making them lifting canards and not so much vortex-generators) I get the impression Kawamori is kind of on a canard "kick" at the moment, and their aerodynamic effects.
  25. David Hingtgen
    So far---kinda floppy. Nothing pegs, it's all friction. And not much friction at that. It's one of those "backwards" joint setups---the minor joints are super-tight (like the finger tips and "cockpit"), the bigger joints (wings/canards/engine pods) are loose. Way too many parts seem held in place by gravity and little else. Biggest annoyances: The lights are either inserted/on, or sitting in the box. You cannot install them and turn them off. They are spring-loaded on-off switches, with "on" being achieved by inserting them into their designated location. They cannot be "attached to Trypticon, but not lit". Also, the hands can NOT fold up like the instructions/renders show. Something was changed. For the worse. This makes the "engine pods" in Nemesis mode "half split-open". I now have a less-than-pristine-condition right hand due to spending hours trying to make it do what the instructions show it doing...
