    PS----when I say mint, I mean MINT. And 95% of my stuff is MINT.

    It'll take me a bit to make a list, I'll try to do it this weekend.

    Are there any games/consoles you're looking for? I've been planning to sell of most of what I have, and it goes from SNES/Genesis through PS3/360. Lots of import Saturn/Dreamcast.

    You can just leave off the last two words.

    Re: point 2. Look at the F-18A+. It's better than the F-18C now, because it didn't have all the goodies from the start. It had space and weighed less. Then, years later, it gets all the C's goodies, and then some. But tech advances so quickly, all those goodies are now miniaturized compared to the C's, so the A still weighs less the C and has more room for even more future goodies. While most C's are stuffed to the gills with older heavier equipment which they've had from the start. (Except, ironically, the one thing that was supposed to truly make the C, a C, its DECM equipment).

    Yup. First real "new design" to the lions I've seen since the original, but no way is it worth that much. It's not a 3P combiner....

    Aren't all of those still multi-piece parts, just "molded very closely together" like the PG fingers are? (I must admit I don't know how the Astrays are at all, only ever looked at the box). There's a big difference between molded colors "very close together" like the multi-color sprues, and having an actual single piece being multiple colors (like a mid-90's blue/yellow/red chest-plate). (though actually, LEGO just started doing this, and pretty evenly--not perfectly crisp, but pretty good)

    Hmmn, RAF Super Hornets.... (Too late now, but was a Naval Tornado ever considered? Swing-wings on carriers rock)
  9. David Hingtgen
    I haven't seen Bandai do that in YEARS, and the failure rate was high. I figure if they've improved on it, we'd have seen it by now. Even the higher-end MG's don't have it. (PG fingers are kinda like that, but that's really more like "2 same plastics enveloping each other")

    Hey, they just said today they dropped their first actual training bombs at Hill, vs their previous simulated training bombs.

    The turbofan to turbojet "mode conversion" was THE key design feature of the YF120. Still nothing like it now AFAIK. (And is why it's so remarkably superior to the F119 in supercruise).
  12. David Hingtgen
    Is that everyone? Or will they maybe add a new listing? (Trying to decide when/where to "cull" the earlier posts to make the first page just uninterrupted character profiles)
  13. David Hingtgen
    There's too many F/B-23 models and drawings made by Northrop for it to have not been at least somewhat considered. It's like the R/A-5C and YF-23 had a baby. Also, F-23A traded area ruling/speed (and likely stealth) for more internal volume compared to YF-23. F/B-23 clearly is using that big spine for yet even more fuel.
  14. David Hingtgen
    That'd be a hand-painted proto. Don't expect the actual release to be like that.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Any DC-9's or 727's still flying around there?
  16. David Hingtgen
    Could always be intakes for radiators/cooling. Even in space you need radiators.

    I've been fairly close to a hovering Sea Harrier but it must have been a bit further away, because I've read many accounts that NOTHING beats a hovering Harrier when it comes to noise, but my experience wasn't all that memorable, sound-wise.

    Stealing from NEOGaf because it's too brilliant not to use it forever: B-2.1
  19. David Hingtgen
    So the official US tri-services numbering system is just completely abandoned then, it seems. First F-35 instead of F-24, now B-21 instead of B-3. The -35 is at least an easily understood error, but they're blatantly admitting they basically picked -21 "because it was cool". I call dibs on next fighter being F-77, 'cuz it's a cool number...

    Arcadia's been color blind since day one. I don't think one valk they've made is really right. Except the 0S maybe.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Lack of mecha is one of my main complaints. "Less is more" doesn't work when it's almost down to "none is more". And yeah, really sick of the Turbines-harem. They fill like half the eps lately but don't advance the plot at all.
  22. David Hingtgen
    A recording doesn't match the real-life intensity/frequency. A lot of the effect is lost. It's way up there in my all time "bad auditory experiences in life".
  23. David Hingtgen
    And the F-15E's is painfully loud and shrill.
  24. David Hingtgen
    The GE's *sound* cooler, and that's the important thing.
  25. David Hingtgen
    No pink? That's a huge omission for the Gundam-verse.
