    Bought 2 for the same reason :). 13 bucks on Amazon right now if that's something you use. Here: https://www.amazon.com/Collectible-Decoration-Character-Compatible-Halloween/dp/B0CWH1Y461/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=2OI078BRY7FXN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.XWOEuXqiLqEPnPD0A2TFKadIi0xY_yTeljZ8q4TsHo3ZqxeIearFVnmD_x7tXCtS8lXjlDtEOvcxHARBlsWfg4ozdJxCehKaMg4G6ax0bc9oXWtgozi75oHafynUR-23KzFZFmzJy2w1C6h8o77e-NH4dd8hL988dGCKy96Pgq3HcI-amIeLvhXEf3XNgOJUEAmrZlAenO95gyU1uwotkg.IjQWOrGjyVIYjwk5EltEYyRzlZa2OX4J1vHzzWYEb4Y&dib_tag=se&keywords=hollow+knight+lego&qid=1743105377&sprefix=hollow+knight+lego%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

    Found this neat little kit of one of my favorite characters... really well made and packaged. The LED lamp post effect is spot-on.

    Ok, I was reading the posts backwards thinking what are these dudes smoking... Then I saw the Denny's ad. Should be AMD waffles though, right?

    OK, leg swing bar on mine is good. Regarding the engines... I now see the error of my ways LOL. It's like proofreading your own paper, but repeatedly missing the same error because the brain is autocorrecting. Fixing it now... I'm so dumb. On the bright side this gave folks a chance to see your genius in practice.

    +1 for the sound booster crowd! Took a while man...

    @M'Kyuun I appreciate you so much. What's it look like under the engines in gerwalk? Or maybe how they're fitting from the back? Maybe I added something preventing them from sitting flush... or I'm mistransforming the engines. I think I may also need to see the hip/swing bar because I don't think that's sitting properly in mine, either.
  7. Test_Pilot_2
    This post has more, but earlier build. I think I still have the engines wrong.

    Finally got this bad boy fixed and on display in the macross case. It's size made for a difficult fit in, but got it on the shelf with Millia's 21 and my jungle camo yamato 1/48 vf-1 and GBP. M'Kyuun's lego variable glaug with some minor tweaks to the paint job and some extra bricks here and there.

    @M'Kyuun Does this look more on point? I had to replace some wrong-sized swing arms that threw the whole thing off. I either made it better or worse, lol.

    RTX 5060Ti Super Duper OK, I laughed at that harder than I should have. Street fighter vibes. On another note - my pops wanted to update mobo/cpu/ram on top of his other Christmas updates. Everything was fine, posted, started the update process. Temps running fine 7700x between 38-41, 70 while updating. Noticed some sluggishness that I thought was odd, but not alarming. Updates complete, including a bios update, shut down, plug in RGBs to mobo header, dead. Everything fires up, no post, solid red on the CPU LED. Toubleshoot everything, clear CMOS, no dice. Ping Microcenter, explain what went down, they just said bring the whole combo back and they'd give me a new one. Those guys are awesome. Dude was like we could do a diagnostic for a fee to figure out what went wrong, but with all the possible things I'd just do the exchange. I built two similar PC's for Christmas for folks and both worked fine. I thought they were the easiest builds ever. My disdain for RGB makes me think something went sideways with that. RGB is the devil... At the same time, that sluggishness was odd, too. Who knows. I wonder if this happens more often than I realize - the dude's tone was alot of "here we go again."

    Just read through a bunch of reviews. The 9700xt is pretty awesome at its price point, but my 7900xt is too close... Maybe if Microcenter lets me trade up at a good rate, but not expecting that. Good showing by AMD, but like some have said - who is the 9700 for in this lineup?
  12. Test_Pilot_2
    Just read that separate testing is showing disparaging raytracing results even with the improvements with the 9070 series. Maybe this is the mid-step generational improvement we used to see before and the generation after this will be where we see real gains. For now, the 7900xt is holding up well. Playing Monster Hunter Wilds just fine - although I think there's a memory leak somewhere.
  13. Test_Pilot_2
    On the RT point... my 7900xt does well enough. In Avowed with raytracing on it runs fine at 4k ultra and naturally better at 1440p. Just finished it - great game. If you're chasing absolute framerates, yeah go ham... Thunderdome for a 5090... I'm sure someone will figure out how to SLI them and achieve singularity. I think for practical purposes the 9700xt is more than capable. I do think that for the AI-based frame gen handheld PCs Nvidia is the better choice. They're doing pretty amazing things there, too.

    Recent additions to the horde... Moshow's Goshogun and Ride Armor

    From what I've seen, the performance of my 7900xt, and the price point my expectation is we'll be pleasantly surprised. You're not going to see bleeding edge performance, but for resolutions up to 4k, in most cases, it'll be good enough for the mainstream gamer.
