  1. Yeah, I dig this new release - was there a previous release that included the HMMs? - but I have to wonder if Hasegawa have decided to move away from Macross now. There are a veritable smorgasbord of designs from Macross that they could tackle to make a good profit, but they're letting them all go to Wave et al instead... to say nothing of the distinct lack of Gerwalk/Battroid/1:48 kits.
  2. That's the one that's basically just a "Metal Build" of the MG 2.0 model kit, right? If so, maybe the MG decals, first- and/or third-party alike, will suffice.
  3. They'll almost assuredly be two-tone at most and require paint for accuracy, if SE's earlier model kit release, indeed for Front Mission, is any indication:
  4. Since IIRC there's no general model kit thread, here's a set of Xenogears 1/144 model kits. Hopefully the first of many, this collection offers up the Weltall, Vierge, Heimdal, and Brigandier. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scode=TOY-RBT-5706 https://www.hlj.com/1-144-scale-xenogears-structure-arts-plastic-model-kit-series-vol-1-enx34840 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10740960
  5. Yo, that's a nice surprise. Isn't the X-49 big, too? Like nearly bomber size? Or maybe it just feels big.
  6. Looking back, I've enjoyed every standalone Predator movie except 2. So there's more, huh? Okay. Deal me in.
  7. Apparently ~150-200GB, which is exactly as stupid as I'd expect.
  8. Every successive version its wings get bigger and bigger...
  9. Is that RG Hi-Nu and... RG Nightingale? I honestly can't tell if it's an SD or NXEDGE or what, its proportions are so inherently weird.
  10. Scherazade and Alseides up for preorder on HLJ (and the other usual haunts too I'm sure). (EDIT: FYI, both come with plastic and cloth capes.) Scherazade: https://www.hlj.com/moderoid-scherazade-the-vision-of-escaflowne-gsc13897 Alseides: https://www.hlj.com/moderoid-alseides-dilandau-s-guymelef-the-vision-of-escaflowne-gsc13898
  11. I was wondering what they meant by that, too. I don't THINK they're posable, but...
  12. Apparently there's a re-paint of that one Rebuild 3.0 1/6 Asuka with double glaive figure up for sale on Amiami, this time in 4.0 colors: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scode=FIGURE-120750 \ Speaking of which, the original one is also available pre-owned: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-007622-R
  13. Per electric indigo, Figure-rise Labo Test Plugsuit Asuka Shikinami.
  14. I really like the experimentation they do with this line. That said, why not the 3.0 suit? White Arms Asuka is Best Asuka.
  15. Given how the year's gone, I wouldn't dismiss the possibility. Just reset the cursed countdown clock, like in 1408.
  16. I would expect that any remaining airworthy F-117s are lacking their 80s-era RAM applications now, yes? I've heard nothing but horror stories about the growing pains of that technology, and it can't possibly still be in use today save for perhaps really specific test flights...
  17. Whoooo! Finally! Now watch that price be $50 like the VF-4 was! WHOOOoooooo... Wait... C'mon, Hasegawa, get on it!
  18. But might ultimately prove to be more ubiquitous and receive better support, due to the same raytracing... pipeline, I guess... being in the consoles. I imagine it will be fairly painless to port games to and from consoles as they are, and will require maybe minimal, maybe significant extra dev work to optimize for Nvidia cards.
  19. The full event, in case you wanted to watch it: All in all, it all looks compelling enough, but I was hoping to get a deeper dive not just into the hardware but the software as well. I suppose that's what Gamers Nexus is for... I'm most curious about the Smart Access Memory feature, and whether it can be implemented on earlier Ryzen generations or even Intel CPUs, or if one could do the same with Nvidia cards, etc. It's a very console-like feature.
  20. The way I heard it, that was the norm rather than the exception; the Barbatos and Wing Zero were both rife with problems (bad parts fit, loose/tight/broken joints, etc.), and third time was the charm with the Astray finally ironing out most of the manufacturing kinks. I dunno if later releases of the WZ/Barb ever fixed those problems or if they have just persisted.
  21. https://www.hlj.com/1-4-scale-konosuba-2-aqua-bare-leg-bunny-ver-fre29984 I figure some of you are into both these things, so the marriage of them allows you to kill two birds with one stone.
  22. Dang, beat me to it... by 8 hours. Anyway, they finally have the Mercurius/Vayeate et al up for preorder, though it looks like they're not running the same preorder campaign.
  23. I dunno what y'all are on about, Stargazer is literally the only thing I've been able to stand of the Seed franchise. Short, to the point, and manages to avoid many of the pitfalls that most Gundam shows get into, such that even if you don't like it you're only out 45 minutes or less. Plus the Stargazer itself is SUCH a good design...
  24. Of course. The CnP just allows for translating specific characters/phrases, which sometimes helps get a better translation. I tend to turn off the "auto-translate" feature, if that's what you're talking about. For those who don't know, the Translate app offers a function to translate in real-time as you're pointing your phone/tablet camera at something (with the translated text superimposed on top of the original), eliminating the need to even take a photo. But I find it often does a worse job and the generated text is hard to read anyway, so I just don't bother and take a pic instead. Has it gotten better recently?
