    Started working? They're nearly done: https://www.flickr.com/photos/95812560@N03/28312358206/sizes/l That's way beyond sample/prototype. That's molded in color. (markings appear to be decals though, so it still has a bit to do)

    It is now, despite being 2 years old. Re-titled thread.

    So did the black series Revan come out or just no news lately? Googling just brings up stuff from a while ago. Also----any chance of actually getting it? I never ever saw the first Revan (nor Bastila).

    Turret #2 is better than docking port #1 in the same scene....

    White flaps, but not rudders/spoilers. Hmmmm.
  6. David Hingtgen
    HLJ doesn't do parts anymore, sadly.

    Why is everyone missing the "cooling unit failure" line? It was like "1-3, and 8-10". I think one area had a heating failure, but another had a cooling failure. Mirage and Hayate seemed to be in an energy-intensive area, so it may be one of the naturally hotter parts of the ship.

    ::ok, I'm just going to give up trying to post now. Something's changed, and normal spoiler tags aren't working right for some reason.

    Hase decals are much better than they were years ago, but even back then, Hase decals never had the "screen door/dots" effect that Bandai ones have.

    FT's Blitzwing has an inferior jet mode to Gewalt, but Gewalt's tank mode is SO bad, that despite being a jet fan first and fore-most, I'll have to wait and see how FT's turns out due to the million times better tank. (really, Gewalt pretty much is a MiG-25, though of course there's some issues--mainly the back half of it---but FT's jet isn't really ANYTHING. It's MiG-25-ish, but it's almost just as F-15-ish, especially the nose/canopy area) I do like Gewalt's robot mode though, to me it's the best Blitzwing by far in that mode. (yes, the shoulders are weird, but everything else is quite nice---and "animation-accuracy be damned" the half-nozzle feet on the other 2 bots look awful and are also nothing like either the toy's or real MiG-25 nozzles)

    They put the hinges on the wings on the front/visible side. That alone is an "obvious error" IMHO, for a high-end chogokin. (Though considering the transformation, it may be possible to flip them around)

    What was the typical turnaround for Frontier? A bit under a week? One-two days, sometimes same-day, is "miraculous" to me. And waited a whole lot longer than that for Zero!

    And at a surprisingly large number of them. I figured like "15 biggest cities only" or something. I'll buy my ticket soon.

    The navy is a really nice touch. Adds just enough color to make it "not super-drab" grey EVERYWHERE, but still keeps it quite low-vis overall.

    Considering the number of people waiting for subs, people often self-spoiler-tag until subs are out. I personally appreciate it, so I can see the "subs are out!" post without having the whole ep spoiled.

    Found my parts! They were on the workbench/table. Already checked there two or three times over the last 48 hours, but they somehow avoided detection every time. Yeesh, I spent a decent chunk of the the past two days checking every nook and cranny and box I could think of...

    C2. The white part that sits on top of the shoulder armor.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Checked EBay and Aliexpress----no KO of that one. Anywhere else to check?
  19. David Hingtgen
    The VF-1A's accent color is very "cream", not white. Is that new, or just something I never noticed before?
  20. David Hingtgen
    Any suggestions where to look?

    I think, for the first time ever, I've lost a piece (a pair, actually). MG Wing Gundam. HLJ doesn't do parts orders any more, and even if they did---it's a "single piece, on 2 duplicate sprues" so it'd cost a decent chunk to get a pair. Has this kit been KO'd? I'd much rather buy a KO to get two parts, than an entire MG kit again. The original, true, TV Wing Gundam. Not Katoki, not OVA, not a revamp. This one: http://hlj.com/product/BAN962352/Gun

    The YF-21's GERWALK-mode exhaust louvers would almost certainly be considered a cascade array. Or at least cascade vanes.

    I will be sorely disappointed if the lions have the same shape and proportions as the 80's (and 90's) (and 00's) toys we've seen. Why does Voltron consistently "get a pass" with not improving the overall shape/looks of the lions? Look how much YF-19 toys have improved in half the time or less.
  24. David Hingtgen
    VF-0D's escorting Firefoxes, was my take.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Too many Voltrons to keep track of---is this a "new" one that hasn't been seen much? Or is it the non-transforming one? And what's going on with the Toynami one? (which frankly, is the first one to really make any sort of attempt at improving how the lions look)
