yeah, I love the way the paint won't adhere to it and flakes off and how the light reflecting off the surface shows off all the minute swirly scratches from everyday handling. Who needs a high quality finish when you can just have the cheapest possible molds, I guess it goes well with the low quality plastic the DXs are made from.

sign me up, the vf-19ACTIVE is my favorite frontier design so far.

torso is supposed to be short and stumpy This is the first yf/vf-19 that has actually gotten this aspect of the design correct.

sweet, got home just in time to chase down the mail truck and collect the bounty. Edit: had it for a while, build quality on the bridge could be better on my copy (clear piece isn't fitted perfectly and paint smudged on dish thing) but overall I'm very happy with it.

stop wasting time and start customizing!

hi-metal chest/fuselage is stretched out and gappy (the space between the bottom of the inlets and the top of the legs/intake, NOT side to side), feet are too small, hips are too wide, back pack is too high on the back, S type head feels smallish and squished looking. pick your poison, both the hi-metal and the 1/60 flub things to make the transformation work. Personally, I think the hi-metal makes too many compromises in fighter mode (nose cone gives me ver 1 1/60 flashbacks) and the thick panel lines look pretty awful to me.

hilarious. Being #1 is a relative thing and despite all it's flaws, I'll stick pick the F-22 over it's competitors produced in Russia or China

I never said I don't like MSG because it's not organic. I said I don't like MSG because it makes cheap, bland, soulless tasting food.

Well, that's not entirely true. Modern farming techniques only work in the us because the government heavily subsidizes the agricultural industry, oil and gives farmers access to cheap water. In countries that don't do this, modern farming techniques can actually cause the farmers to go out of business trying to keep up with fertilizer and water. This is actually what's happening in farming communities in south America and India. And then there's the issue with the gm seeds sold to the farmers which wont grow viable seeds on their own, forcing farmers to have to buy seeds each year. Without government subsidies, the current modern farming method isnt sustainable. But back to msg. Restaurants use msg to cheat the flavor of food. So instead of using actual chicken, beef, vegetable stock, or spices to flavor food, they add msg to "enhance" what little flavor is there. It's not only cheap but you get generically tasting food that has lost all the charm and characteristics of what it was intended to have. I'd rather pay more, eat a little less to have an honestly good tasting dish than shovel vast quanties of cheap crap into my mouth.

this post and your avatar are in perfect synchronicity

Nothing to do with health food. Msg just tastes like crap compared to real soup stock or spices made with actual ingredients. See, we love five guys too... All I'm saying is I'd rather eat a quality product like 5 guys or in and out, versus cheap, bland crap like mcdonalds. And that's what msg does to food, it's just bland, generic proteiny/salty instead of rich, full flavors.

2010 was very kind to me and my family. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

it's sad that you think that way.

Bwahaha, mp SS? Mac Quarter? Hahaha... Always good to start te new year off with a funny, thanks man!

MSG. It's an evil that must be destroyed.

you're smoking crack if you think this isn't as complex as a 1/60 valk. Seriously, and not the light stuff, we're talking hardcore whitney houston grade crack.

The stars are different, anyone can go into your profile and rate you but that reputation thing comes from people up voting your individual posts

In customs, so there's a good chance it'll get here tomorrow... MUAHAHAHAHAHA

Hopefully it's a better toy than the 27 and bandai uses better quality materials and better joints and locks this time around.

"somewhat rare" doesn't mean "common"

Yeah, I had that on pre-order, it's on the way, I also got the VF-x this month as we'll, that's why the extra 150 bucks is kinda hard to justify...

They weren't rare at all back then. There's couple of very famous stories that illustrate it actually, like the creation of the post-it and Apple computers.

Personally, I think it's best to just accept that Tron is just a modern allegory for various creation/fall/messiah stories and accept the stuff like human looking programs as part of that framework.

How do you think it was staying up before the storm?

The universe conspires against me. The Quarter is on sale right now HLJ for 50% off and so I figured I finally get one and placed my order last night. I woke up to this sight this morning: According to my wife, the fence is more important than my toys...
