feb is okay for me, but not the weekend of the 10th. March through May is week to week for me as well.

No, but in my world, time moves linearly and I can't foresee what you're going to write when you go back and edit your posts after I've already made a reply. But that's probably because my sense of time is limited to the confines of this reality.

Or... You just shop at a reputable store and not spend an hour doing all that other stuff....

thanks for ruining the movie for me.

I heard it was just going to be a light blue hoodie.

Looks good, but I was always a fan of the Ultimate Cap costume.

I like it, looks fine. And I like the thin, lanky build on the actor. Much more in keeping with the body type peter parker is supposed to have. As for being too dark, spidey's origin story is supposed to be dark... so no worries there for me either.

Yeah, why do you need the first tv Roy VF-1s ever?

I'd love to get the ingram, just can't afford it.

You know, we didn't even get around to the hi-metal line up.

torchwood? you sir, have no soul!

I will say this though... if you're right, and they do just stick on the 25 legs and have to work in some leg bend thing to get it to work, I'll be passing on this. I'm pretty "meh" on the design to begin with and I've been fiddling with my dx 25 to look at the leg geometry while we've been talking about this and it just made me remember how very much I hate the DX 25. And oh look, the front landing bay door hinges broke while they've been sitting there all boxed up, not doing anything for the past 6 months. POS.

if it's anything like the past, then the 1/100 model is going to be a lot closer to the line art than the DX. But I think in this case, the vf-25 legs in the CAD are just a place holder. At least, I hope they're just place holders.

I get what you're trying to say. I'm only pointing out that to support the idea that the legs are bent you have to ignore a lot of stuff like the thigh not being angled down and that the DX 25 already has the leg in the proper position to fit the nacelles on top, without having to bend the legs. It's just simpler. There's also no given that knee guards are even going to be the same. From the CAD/25 comparison you've posted it seems clear that the knee guard is different and much smaller on the 29 compared to the 25. The shot of the 29 in the lower right corner is pretty suggestive that legs are going to be straight across, without the bend in fighter mode.

they don't look like they're clicking down at all. If they clicked down then the thigh should be angled down, but it's not, it's straight across and where the feet are in relation to the body of the plane is exactly where they are on the 25. It doesn't even make sense that the legs would have to angled, for what purpose? It's clear than the gun nacelles on top of the legs are part of the design and not a FAST pack or extra weapon system. And if it is the 25 legs, that's a complete redesign in the way the joints work. If you look at the way the 25/27 intake/thigh hinge works, clicking it down one actually causes the thigh to overlap the intake assembly. If you're right and the legs in that CAD are clicked down one, then the whole leg has been redesigned.

Sure, sounds like fun!

The legs in that CAD shot have not been put into any configuration other than the standard dx vf-25 position. The DX 25 always had the legs slung under the body. Maybe it can, but there's nothing there or in the yf-29 design which shows the need for such a change. If anything, the yf-29 design looks to compensate for the fact that the DX toys have the legs in the wrong position by putting that gun nacelle on top of it.

RAWR!

Well, I did say I liked your podcast for covering a wide variety of toys! I have to say, after your GI JOE episode, I found myself stopping at the GI JOE section for longer than usual.

Shin was decidedly not gay. All mopey and taciturn. It's like you don't even know the meaning of the word.

wait, wait... your friend Sam collects Twilight figures?

Yeah, terminator was a big let down but not enough to drag the game, imo. ME2 is my favorite game of the year by a mile and a half.

Looking good! Looks really nice next to the Quarter.
