  1. Took 2 years of kenjutsu, in the Itto-Ryu form. Lots of fun, lots of sweat. I moved away and haven't found a new dojo, but I still practice what I did learn.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Careful. They may yet be so, in the final release. Never dismiss Bandai's desire to save a Sen here and there.
  3. Yeah, and that also explains the VF-4's lower price compared to the 0. They changed nothing about the mold. Now we just have to worry about their choice of plastic, and their changed QC methods.
  4. More accessible to the Japanese watching it at the time, perhaps? Or, Hikaru and Co. were used to apartments from before the fighting, and more than anything else wanted something normal and comforting. By the way, what's the definitive way to watch this?
  5. Carefully and beautifully. 😄
  6. Agreed. What platform is this using? I can't see too many uses for a rear-drive compact car platform, so I don't see many economies of scale. I'll say, since Toyota is a BIG car maker and they'll pull absolutely as much as they can from the corporate parts bin to keep costs down, that the base model of this car will run $18,000. Don't expect A/C or power windows at that price, either.
  7. Wasn't it freakishly expensive?
  8. Or the Short Stirling. But yes, the B-17, at least from the E model onwards, was built incredibly strongly, given a large amount of armor plates, and literally bristled with.50 calibers. All that meant a reduced bomb load. But it also meant more 17s got back home to England.
  9. Good job Scyla, it also looks like the outer wings will fold inward. The backpack may well be smaller than you think.

    Bandai 1/35 DX VF-1

    If it's less than $500 I'll be shocked. If it is, that's Bandai's gauntlet to Arcadia's face.
  11. Matter of fact, you can JUST see them in the upper left of this pic. Looks like they're attached to a 2 in fighter mode. And the sign says 2016, 32,000 yen!
  12. Quoted for truth. My daughter's upset at the lack of Black Widow role-play stuff too.
  13. The Draken III has a delta wing. Problem solved.
  14. Were I in the market for a new Android, Nexus 5X. If for no other reason than the guaranteed timely Android updates straight from Google. Security is a big concern for me with that OS. Nexus 6P if you have to go that big.
  15. Um... like what?
  16. Yes they are. The extreme dogtooth is only found on the lead Draken.
  17. 27. Not even close.
  18. It has two engines? They're awfully close together, aren't they? Any hardpoints on the wings or any idea of armament?
  19. Arcadia can't die until they reissue the VF-1 Super/Strike parts. God will not allow it!!
  20. It's just occurred to me that, since the Draken III's don't have a transparent canopy, the pilots must fly them completely through sensor inputs, and perhaps a computer generated image of the outside world. Take it a step further, and perhaps the Knights are cyborgs, and those hair things are their brain interface to the Draken's systems.
  21. No, I believe it's the rainbow coating itself that might crack. The plastic canopy is perfectly fine. I don't know what might cause the coating to crack, but you can't fix it once it does. You either have to live with it or remove it.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    There's one in black, white and grey with a winged reaper itasha that I'll pick up. That's going to be as close as we'll get. Bet the 25 will be the CF in this series, if there's a CF at all. As for ammo for the forearm guns: what if they're mass drivers? Then the ammo would just be solid shot, with no propellant to worry about, and a lot of it could be efficiently stored.
  23. That's a thought. A non-humanoid Battroid mode? A transformation reminiscent of the VB-6 König Monster? Hmm.
