http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=26436 We got the whole remastered set patched with subtitles and looking better than ever.
-
Did you ever get anywhere on this? I'm starting to want to get back to this.
-
How does Grimlock do it? I don't have MP Grimlock (yet... hoping TRU will get it in one of these days).
-
That Luke looks bad ass. Love my HK-47 (and the HK-50, too!). The B.A.D. thing got to be to buy a whole bunch of figs that I haven't taken out of the blister just the droid part. Anyone get the TRU TIE Interceptor? Yay or Nay?
-
Backlighting one thing is cool, but to get a good effect, other things should be lit... running lights... a red or orange LED in the feet/engines... red LED for the weapon doesn't sound bad. Sounds? I'd want em to stick with the basics and nice quality ratcheted joints to start. Then metal for all fragile pieces (like the infamous BP8). THEN gimmicks like lights. As far as things like the batteries... best idea is to put them on something that's removable (like Boosters/FAST Packs, etc) or like Bandai did with their Star Trek Models (in the stand).
-
Is the head a switcher like Starscream, if so you still get Rodimus Prime Robot... I don't really want the Space Winnebago and would probably just leave it in the box.
-
I prefer the metallic eyes that MP prime has to the translucent plastic yamato uses. Mmm ratchet joints on MP Prime are the best. He holds poses like no tomorrow and love the hands on MP prime much more than any Yamato.
-
Right. And then they have Meltran taller than VF-22S, which is one of the tallest valks in UN Spacy. Basically, what is "said" isn't worth as much as is "shown" when they conflict, even if it's "canon" isn't in dispute. The visual medium IS the canon.
-
If it's like mine, it was instantly obvious and broken while in the bubble wrap. The tiny crumbs of resin in the bottom of the baggie were a hint, too. The rest is so well executed, it's a shame this happened as otherwise, I'd be singing the praises of really great work. No visible damage on the box, but imagine there was manhandling (or maybe turbulence) in the trip over. Looks like robodragon makes 2 broken. Should be interesting to see if we're outliers or if it happens to other people, as well.
-
I just had all new windows installed on my house, double pane, thermal coating, etc (in the demo the¥ put a heat lamp on each side ), so maybe I'll be good. Yeah, still gotta get a TV Roy... anyone see it at Frank yet? I should just order from AmiAmi, probably...

The computer and electronics super geek thread
Uxi replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Upgrade is generally a bad idea anyway. Pull off your data and do a clean install. -
Yeah, I'll probably try to work on it. OP has offered to send it back for him to fix, but seems like a bit of a hassle. I'm thinking the design would be better if those pieces weren't all on one piece. The codpiece should go in with a slot/tab/screw, I'm thinking and the side pieces should be shipped separately, to be attached with a small screw, maybe self-tapping?
-
I had a similar issue and the best replacement springs were those from 3.5" floppy disks or clipped safety-pins IIRC.
-
The tail pipes are bothering me far more than the hood, but yeah that's an issue, too. We're always going to get raped on imported grey-market Takara, though. US Masterpiece releases have been pretty good (if you can stomach things like Prime's smokestacks - I couldn't so got a set on evilbay which solved 75% of my grief and haven't taken the time to get the dremel to get it up to 90% satisfaction).
-
This is what I got. Any special tricks to gluing this resin/paint, or should I wait for this to be addressed by the OP, first?
-
Unfortunately, consistency in the scaling of Zentran and Meltran hasn't been as consistent as we'd like... There's Britai, for example, and the Zentran uniform that fits over Max's VF-1. It gets even better with Frontier (Klan and Mikhail's VF-25)... And then there's:
-
Picked mine up. Beautiful set... and looks like awesome quality. Love the invidividual missiles.... Unfortunately, mine was broken in shipping. The right hip pod broke off where the rod meets the extending boom. The crotch attachment is sheared off at the base of the codpiece.
-
Is Hot Rod / Rodimus Prime going to have a place for the Matrix in his chest?
-
I wouldn't mind seeing the rest of the Dinobots (at least Slag and Sludge), Cyclonus, and Scourge. Most of all, I still want a Masterpiece Skyfire... I also really want Soundwave, but am a bit conflicted because his alt is just a bit too dated. I could see him (and Blaster) being done as Boom-boxes with less emphasis on the tapes (though still having them available, of course) with the minions being either tapes or other accessories/components.
-
Rodimus Prime gained a good 20-25% in height/mass in Transformers: the Movie (which IIRC is usually the reference for Masterpiece).
-
Did Rodimus Prime have a different head/face from Hot Rod? WRT Rodimus Prime, I should think the trailer should go into the bot mode ala Ultra Magnus since he's supposed to be "Prime-sized" instead of "normal sized" Transformer.
-
They need to do Galvatron next!

Hmm, looks like it's NOT free for T3, but is available from Starship Requisitions to buy with EC. I just bought one for RA, foolishing with my main toon, instead of on Tribble, like I should have. Ah well, only a couple hundred k (160k, IIRC) EC, which are near worthless and I have about 2M more anyway. It's obviously useless for an RA/VA (unless you buy the Refit and doesn't appear to be available as the VA freebie, either so the only way for the refit is microtransaction right now), but if you make a new toon, should be available as a freebie when you hit Commander, so imagine there should be many out there. I see people in other threads complaining that alot of guys are abandoning the Sovereign for the Refit (presumably paying), since it's better overall than the Sovereign. We'll see if they either nerf it or amp up the Sov (and/or make a "refit" available).
-
The refit is the one I saw in drydock by Spacedock. Looks like the T5 refit went on the C-Store today. You get both skins (Refit and standard) with the purchase from the C-Store. Not sure, but sounds like it's available for Vice-Admirals with their "retrofit" slot. Then apparently, there's a "free" T3 version. http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=177449
