    I saw someone build a VF-31J kit with the wings flipped around so they sweep back. Looks awesome, vaguely like the VF-4's wings.

    Well I'm spending this morning waiting for my car at the tire shop so I can't stream/watch anything until later today. Could I have like a 5-word spoiler-free "categorization" of the episode? As in, is it mainly a: 1. Mecha/battle ep. 2. Other plot-advancing/politics ep. 3. Characters/triangle ep.

    Ok, I think it's high time I actually start to SELL my stuff, vs simply have it sit in the closet NOT helping me pay my bills. That said: I do think ebay is the best option, to gain the biggest "audience". I've of course bought from ebay many times, but never sold. Is there a "guide" out there that'd be especially helpful for selling stuff like retro games/consoles/CD's? Like I've heard ebay seems to be fond of assigning "default" shipping weights to stuff, but if I'm selling a $100 PSX game, I'm not just going to ship it in a bubble mailer and hope the jewel case doesn't crack, so their "suggested" shipping weight/cost won't be acceptable.I'll be boxing most anything. (and on that note---anywhere to get cheap small boxes for that situation? Or is just shipping everyting via priority and using those boxes the best bet?) Also, is shipping via Paypal worth it, to help "prove" I shipped stuff? I think I'd need to buy a scale, to accurately weigh things to be able to print labels, in that case.

    I've seen that mentioned before. I've gotta admit--I don't "get it". And googling brings up nothing. I can see "terra" and "aegis"----"Earth shield"?

    The scarcity of add-ons in the show has me a bit worried/disappointed "One-time use" isn't enough to make me want to buy them. As opposed to Frontier's Super Pack, which Alto used more often than not. And though he only used the Armor Pack twice----they were epic awesome scenes. And Ozma made the Armor Pack a must-buy the first time we saw it. Frontier made all the "extra bits" for the valks cool and desirable. Delta hasn't done that at all. We've seen one set of parts used once to minimal effect.

    The legs and weapon pod don't seem to peg together in fighter mode, that's worrying. Arms are identical to the VF-25-----already look loose, will be very floppy after a bit. Weapon pod seems to be pure friction, nothing pegged or locked into the open/raised mode. I think it may be even worse than the arms after time----a big floppy pile of parts never really holding in position. Honestly, seems like they've learned nothing over the past few years and have made zero improvements. Every issue the -25 has or develops, the -31 looks to be prone to get as well.

    A Trypticon that size would be so much cooler.

    I guess it'll be DSC, because DIS already means Disney, when it comes to entertainment.

    IIRC, the F-14 was the poster child for the "if you keep if flying, it works, if you let it sit, it'll break" theory, regarding the hydraulics. I think that frequent use kept the seals moist. But if it sat, they'd dry out and shrink, and you'd get leaks all over the place.

    Tailcode for the Sundowners but not Wolfpack?
  11. David Hingtgen
    Exactly. All-metal at least resembles some real-world landing gear. (White is more of a US thing). But half and half? Looks like a mistake.

    Macross figures

    No Mirage? No buy.

    A whole lot less man-hours to flight-hours than the F-14 needs.
  14. David Hingtgen
    And regardless of one's opinion of the Ent-D, NOBODY thought it looked like a Klingon ship.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Very much agree, ESPECIALLY with the spoilered part. If Elba had a bit more "meat to work with" (and less makeup to deal with) we could have gotten one of the all-time great Trek villians I feel.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Ah, I thought you meant an external difference. Just keep the hatches closed, and it's correct.
  17. David Hingtgen
    I thought the ending was dragged out, that it should have been rolling the credits 20 mins earlier.
  18. David Hingtgen
    I was about to post that, after realizing it last night. TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9---and now, Star Trek: Discovery.
  19. David Hingtgen
    This is a difference I'm unaware of, explain please. Also--the canards actually ARE different, it's not just the striping pattern making them look that way?
  20. David Hingtgen
    I've gotta say---they're not using the increased size to increase the detail/"realness" at all. It simply looks like a large Yamato V.2 or something. As in, a 1/20 fighter jet should have much more refined leading edges, intake lips, wing-sweep gloves/gaps, etc. But I'm not seeing any of that there. Everything is "blunt" and unrefined. (and I'm not taking panel lines etc that'll be added later, I'm talking shapes/design)

    Still waiting/hoping for a 31A.
  22. David Hingtgen
    "Man-at-arms".
  23. David Hingtgen
    Ok, they can squat. But they really didn't do anything to improve the shape/proportions of the lion, or Voltron himself much for that matter. It's still homaging/based off the original toy too much, and not the show.
  24. David Hingtgen
    I don't own that version of the mold, but I've *tried* to disassemble enough Frontier valks to confirm that yes, sadly, they are often held together more with glue than with screws. And it's a very good glue, that can rip the plastic apart before it'll let the seam go.
