    Chogokin ISD? Either not much metal, or will weigh a ton. I actually hope it DOESN'T have much metal---can't sculpt that fine in diecast. I want 50,000 little details in fine plastic...

    But, I mean--every pic we've ever seen of a model of Mirage's valk (Tomy 1/144, Bandai 1/72 kit, etc),---has been taken with a camera. Yet they always look purple, or at least magenta/fuschia--never red like the latest DX pics. It's not "just how cameras see Mirage's color".
  3. David Hingtgen
    Hmmn. So are they saying the actual release will probably be more purple, or that only the proto was purple and the final release will be reddish like we've seen? Also, I've not seen a Mirage proto with a type-J head (unless they mean someone besides Hayate is the main character)
  4. David Hingtgen
    Exactly. It's pink, but not the right pink at all. Just like how Max's VF-22 is blue, but if it was painted like his VF-1J it'd be totally wrong--even though they're both blue.

    Despite being the closest one by far, I rarely get Chicago customs. Usually SFO or NYC. And NYC almost always takes longer.

    Thanks for sending me to check my paypal "conversion option"---I know I've changed it before---but it was back at "use paypal's awful rate". So, changed it back to "use CC's rate" yet again, hope it sticks around until it's time to actually pay. Pre-ordered Milia with N-Y.

    My bank ALWAYS blocks HLJ. Have to call every time lately. Even though I've had them note it to allow HLJ, and Japan. Still gets blocked. It's not the credit card company, it's not HLJ, it's not PayPal. It's the bank that issued the credit card.

    Googling that lead me to this: Now THAT's a helicopter!

    More identification chart fun: (Falcon's tailplanes are wrong though)

    Edited title. They look close to the F-14B/D hybrid that Shin flew. But definitely not an F-14A.

    Just give me Thundercracker in his G1 toy colors. That's all I want. None of this half-assed "in-between toy and toon" blue.

    Anyone have DX9 Carry? Now that Reprolabels has their spoiler+sticker set out, I'm very tempted.
  13. David Hingtgen
    It's a tough time for us Jenius fans: Milia's---too pink! Mirage's---not pink enough!
  14. David Hingtgen
    The main color also looked better than the more recent sample pics...
  15. David Hingtgen
    That's my worry. Simply being near red parts, will catch some reflection.

    I have the same main problem with this one as the last one: I didn't see anything TRANSFORM. If they never transform, then they're just big robots...

    Yamato/Arcadia, match Hasegawa: (except for the red-tipped RMS missiles, which I'd love to have...)
  18. David Hingtgen
    Just like how Bandai hates DX valk money...

    Anyone interested in FP Protector? (Rodimus trailer/armor for Classics HotRod). Or should I just throw it up on eBay?

    Mike---Exgraver was the first of Hercules. I think he was first by several months. I know the last two were released simultaneously. (Mixmaster and Bonecrusher I think). So the absence of Reprolabels on that one is odd. Exgraver does have a fairly serious issue with his scoop--later figures came with replacements (I think Long Haul had it). If you take a closeup of the base of the arm (where it attaches/pivots around the main body of the vehicle) I can see if yours is replaced/upgraded. Edit---here ya go:
  21. David Hingtgen
    Yeah--considering "dull grey" was the final finish---why not just mold it in that color, and gain that critical 0.02in of clearance all around? Would likely alleviate a good number of issues.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Interesting that the packaging has built-in space around the barrel tip, as if they expect someone to put something there...
  23. David Hingtgen
    Whoever did the Reprolabel application did a good job--they look to be about as anal as I am, about alignment/symmetry.
  24. David Hingtgen
    That works well for Macross, but it's a 'shop of this one: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/YqNn6

    Thought: the VF-0D looked spot-on in the promo pics, but was totally wrong in final production. Maybe the VF-31C will be the opposite... Sigh, I still want a valk that looks like this:
