    First transformation. Was fairly simple, those arms are annoying. Everything tabbed in, everything felt like it fit together the way it was designed to. Nothing under tension. The central grey chest flap, though, just… flaps there. Nothing holds it in place. You can also see that one of the wing doors that conceals the hand doesn’t want to stay shut, no matter if there’s a hand there or the arm panel misaligned or anything. It just won’t lock in place. There’s a tension there somewhere that pops it out of place. Don’t know where to start sanding, any thoughts? Overall, a definite step backwards, maybe not in engineering, but most assuredly in fit and finish. On the Charlie, everything snaps to with authority and everything has a place. Not so much the Kairos Plus. One positive: I LOVE the head sculpt. Gorgeous.

    It just occurred to me that @jenius didn’t do a video on this Valkyrie.

    So here’s how it arrived. Amazon box custom fitted, with bubble wrap all around. Arrived pretty much safely, with a dinged corner in the upper left that may or may not have occurred in transit. Oh, and no candy. I have a sad. Ahh… that new Valk smell. Initial impressions: a poorer design than the 31C. The wing of the Charlie had a beautiful, sculpted airfoil to it to hide the arm in the wing, this thing has flat, angular surfaces. Paint quality seems less as well. I’ll report more later.

    Was this thing VTOL, explaining the louvers under the intake trunks?
  5. Sildani
    Mine is on the delivery truck. I’ll report in when it’s in my hands.

    Anyone get candy yet?

    I think it’s worth the watch, if only because the first five or so seasons were absolutely that good. It goes off the rails at the end, no mistake, but at least you’ll KNOW why everyone feels the way they do about it, and if you choose to see House of the Dragon, you’ll have the background you need.

    I’m sure it blew HBO’s mind too. They had the world’s hottest property one year, to having absolutely nothing the next. I’m sure they thought they had the next Lord of the Rings, in terms of spin-offs and merchandising that their devoted fanbase would eagerly snap up. Funny what happens when the writing tanks!

    LP just messaged me, Mirage will be moving this week. EDIT: just got DHL tracking info.

    The more I see it, the more I like it. The first fruit of all our collective longing, hatred, and so on.

    Mm. I ordered this from LP a king while ago, so I suppose she’ll be on her way to me soon. Gotta say, not looking forward to it as much as some others. The apparent lack of QA is a gut-punch.

    Eh? A couple days early?

    Mirage’s ride comes out Friday, I’m not holding out much hope for it to have these issues fixed.

    Extra Jeremy Clarkson was installed.

    Exactly. And since not too much moves on the Tornado Parts, not much chance for the finish chipping or scraping.
  16. Sildani
    Bought a set of Michel’s Tornado parts to use with it.

    From WonderCon, pic from Facebook’s Macross Fans US page. Pushed back to June.

    Not that the info wasn’t nifty, or on topic, but dang, this is probably the most successful thread necromancy I’ve ever, or will ever, see. Long live Macross, indeed!

    The one on the YF-30 Kronos is cool…
  20. Sildani
    Looks good.

    Finland chooses the F-35. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/lockheed-f-35-jet-wins-finnish-fighter-competition-source-2021-12-10/

    I stayed up, didn’t get a PO, was pissed. Couple days later, PO’d at my leisure from BBTS. Pissiness gone.
  24. Sildani
    It does look like it, dunnit? I’m in for a set if they make Mirage’s colors.
  25. Sildani
    Eh. Blue trim, skull & crossbones, it’s forgivable.
