    Annoyingly, no. Testor's often does the same, with many "spray-only" colors, which makes it difficult to paint small parts/do touch-ups, as you can't buy the same color in a jar.

    See, I want that as a 1/60.... Also----non-canon, but adding in the extra striping that Arad has on his -31S that no other -31 has, would be just the right amount of added color to really make a -31A look awesome.

    Hmmn, I thought I read about a 30-month shortening, that'd bring it down to 2017 or so.

    Anyone here sleeve their own cables? If you want red or blue it's easy to find and buy, but purple is rare, especially "the right shade" of purple. So I'm considering learning to do it myself. PS----so it seems MS has shortened the planned support period for Win 7. So I may be dragged kicking and screaming into 10 soon.

    No speaker(hologram?) pod?

    Thankfully, its successor the B-24, has a much cooler name.

    No, never got any UCS sets. Was tempted by B-Wing but thought it didn't look quite right and it was way too expensive for what it was. Waiting for UCS TFA X-Wing hopefully some day.

    That's a heck of a first Technic set! Anyone have any comments on selling on Bricklink vs Ebay? I'm looking to unload most all my Star Wars sets and about half my other sets. None have boxes, all have instructions, if that affects the comparison.

    The Stonewell-Bellcom logo is basically a mirror of the Lockheed-Martin logo:

    That's pretty much like Ebay seller ratings. "Shipped game immediately, but I didn't like it after I played it so 1-star for the seller"

    Yes, Cyberjaw would look a lot better/G1er/purpler if that big spine-armature was purple instead of grey. I've spent way too much time trying to figure out a possible repainting operation for him, but like with all transforming toys---there's very little you can do that will last more than a transformation or two. And that armature is certainly effectively unpaintable for that reason. There's a few spots I've identified that should work, but it's not worth it---I couldn't figure out a way to get a "mostly purple shark torso" like the G1 had, that'd actually last. I may paint his gun purple, as that will add a lot of purple in gun mode. (plastic-matching be damned, Tamiya makes a spray paint that is like dead-on G1 Overbite purple) TFC sure does seem to like grey lately---they've put it on like every Seacon, when only 2 of the originals had any. And I still fear that Seawing and Nautilator have lost their black and gotten just grey.

    That particular symbol doesn't work for a bat-signal. The "points"/details are too small and fine. They'd get obliterated over distance/cloud/fog. It'd just be a "splotch signal" really.

    Dang it, I think I may have gotten rid of or lost my spare 360 controller when I moved. Looked everywhere for it.
  14. David Hingtgen
    I was thinking cheap-cheap, like 20 bucks. I think I may actually have a spare 360 controller, in pieces. Will see if I can find it and if it has all the parts. ::googles:: Hmmn, they make a "wireless receiver" for the 360 controller, for PC---with many knock-offs. Will see if I can find one locally this weekend, if not---still likely my best/cheapest choice.

    I...think...that took care of itself? Anyways---suggestions wanted----decent cheap gamepad for my PC. Mainly to play Mass Effect 3 at the moment. I am FAR more of an rpg/adventure player, so an "awesome for FPS" pad means nothing to me. I definitely prefer a PS dual-shock style shape to an Xbox shape. If it makes any sort of difference---I do have convenient USB 3.0 ports up front, almost always one slot to spare.

    Any Mirage fan will likely want to see Silas Zee (Shibamura Prime)'s latest work: http://www.silaszee.com/bunnymirage.html

    Add Ivy, and a more traditional HQ costume, and I'll pay to see that. (or most any variation on the Gotham Girls etc grouping)

    Despite being static images, I bet that book has more VF-31 action than Delta does...
  19. David Hingtgen
    Well, since the VF-31's seem to do fine without pilots, I imagine the shuttle can too.
  20. David Hingtgen
    T-50? That'd rock! Oh, wait, THAT T-50, not PAK-FA's....
  21. David Hingtgen
    I'd take bad valk action at this point, so long as they showed some transformation in doing so.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Pretty sure it's just a display stand. Kinda greebled, to "fit in" to the overall look. I'm very tempted---because while you can tell it's not even half as crisp as the Bandai (and maybe not even the old MPC/Ertl), it will be decently sized. Is it just me, or is the command tower/bridge too low/short? It's the opposite problem that the Rebels one has. Is it THAT hard to get the proportions right?

    Found it---the weird winged bomb at the USAF Armament Museum is (possibly the one and only) GBU-20: http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app5/mgws.html
  24. David Hingtgen
    In a way, yes, but---no, not at all.

    Also, continuing the Norse theme----Ragna(rok).
