    His funeral deserves as much as attention as a president. Hell, that man, is far better than any man I ever knew about in history in my opinion.

    picked up a 1/48 RX-78-2. Damn, this is gonna need some paint....
  3. Hikuro
    Well next project on my work bench is a 1/48 RX-78-2 kit. Man I dunno how the hell you can paint in small areas that are in small deep areas blocked off by dividing panels that tape just can't get too.

    Nope! Windows or console only I think. I'm 11 chapters in and I love the story. Gameplay is kind of dull and just as you get use to one character you a different one to play as. I'm mostly just waiting to chomp at the bit to be Grimlock.

    Got TW-01 Hegemon. Could of used a bit more work I think. No peg in for the fusion cannon, or ability to peg for the collar area that splits in half to tuck the head in. And the transformation while decent, is shoty, some parts don't want to clip together straight. Still, better Megatron than I could of come up with. And it fits well enough for Classics.

    TV series has spawned very heavily away from the book since Season 1. So I wouldn't worry to much of what goes on.

    I just got approved on a credit card last week, but the total on this would be nearly at my limit and that's no beuno. I get it's LE and such, 250 I think should of been the asking price not 350. That just tells Yamato we will pay any price if it's sought after and this is in that category.

    And someone at NY is going "how the hell did we just get 1,000 orders in 6 hours?" Gotta say, 400 bucks is hard to justify when this won't be much bigger than the vf-1. But it is a holy grail next to yamatos Sdf1.

    Hmmmmmm........I dunno. I only got the DVD variant since I couldn't do bluray back then. I'll wait and see.

    My biggest problems with TFC are simply Price, and scale. While Scale wise they're pretty accurate to the other figures. I mean you want a combiner that's going to be massive in the end, a lot bigger than leader, and almost if exactly bigger than a supreme. But I don't want to pay 100+ dollars a unit while waiting several months to collect the entire set. TFC also has run into QC issues with each figure they've done. Sure they can be corrected in each installment, but that's the problem, each installment has a new problem to go with it and the next one is to fix it. In my collection I've got an Energon Superion and Bruticus which thanks to FP I've upgraded both and they look just so damn awesome. And now I've got Maketoys Giant set....which despite some flaws, are still very awesome, and lets be honest, he's not that much smaller than TFC's Hercules, and about a quarter of the price cheaper. Now we've got FP's doing the Stunticons and that makes me really excited. I was going too preorder Classics breakdown from the collectors club, but after finding out that FP will have a complete set, I'm gonna probably cancel my subscription when it runs out. I'm STILL waiting on my Hegemon NOT Megatron figure and it's nearly been 3 weeks.

    wow to much money........but I'll get at least 1.

    the 1/100 SAP kit.
  13. Hikuro
    My vf2ss came and I'm excited, out of box she's just gorgeous to look at and go wow over. I'm sure putting this kit together will make me say different as I'm aware there will be a good deal of painting to be done. I hadn't decided if I want to do this in major nexx or silvi gena colors. The kit is just white and gray plastic, but what's a good color to replace the white to look more anime accurate?
  14. Hikuro
    So which is the width and which is the length? Kind of hard to measure these things with a ruler to me when they're so tiny. In either case, I still can't find the missing neck piece I need. I thought it just went behind my desk on the carpet but I moved everything around to get to that area and it's not there. Spent a good 2 hours cleaning that area up from Decal pieces coming from other projects only to find nothing. I think I'd have a better chance at buying some kind of a scrapped junker valk or something than finding this missing piece.

    Just got vol 4, with 1 and 3 on the way so I've only read 2 and 4......well "Read". What is up with Roy in this last volume? He seems pretty pissed off at Hikaru. Am I right to assume that he doesn't think Hikaru is mature and experienced enough to be some kind of a squad leader?

    Still having big issues with those pins. I tried to compare with my other figures but some aren't as consistent as others. The pins on the collar area that connect to the back side don't go fully inside on my max vf1a. I also think I put the wrong pin on the right thigh. How can one get a pin out from smaller areas that go thru evenly versus stuck out?
  17. Hikuro
    Well, I just recently scored an old Bandai 1/100 VF-2SS model kit, and for pretty cheap too! Dunno what I'm going to exactly do with it though.
  18. Hikuro
    Only safe bet to avoid KO's would be BBTS or Toyarena.com, those kind of places usually label if you're goign to get a KO of something already done. I remember when City Commander got the treatment and even heard stories the quality was shoty. I've got Hegemon on order, should be here the end of the week I think. Got a nice big ol decepticon sticker waiting for him.
  19. Hikuro
    I can't figure out the pins at all. I got to many different sizes so I'm not picking the right ones or something.
  20. Hikuro
    Lost the piece where the head needs to connect to the rear of the fuselage. It's around, I just got to find it. Did anyone ever have any trouble in getting the 1.5mm pin thru the part? Mine wants to not fit or just go downward thru the gap the plastic piece has. But both legs are assembled, and the right arm is done, and so is the head unit. Those are major deals right there.
  21. Hikuro
    Sanding and Primer seemed to of helped for nwo, gotta let it cure over night. These hinge pins are REALLY pissing me off. Why couldn't Yamato just put these in according to their size? I mean the tree thing with nothing labeled and bits and pieces everywhere, that's annoying, but these pins are even worse.
  22. Hikuro
    I'll have to try to take the right arm apart again to do it. I also made a really big mistake where I accidentally put the right hand together palm flipped backwards and stuck the pin in. I gotta find a way to get that pin out to fix it.
  23. Hikuro
    Dammit I thought Wiki was wrong when I looked today. How the hell could you go from an order of 18 episodes for season 1, then take practically a 3 month break just for another 9 episodes before calling it quits? Damn you disney, if it doesn't have a wanna be pop idle in the making of her own scandal you don't want it.

    Ugh so lame. so the parts that have to do with the inside of the shoulders seem to flake off paint no matter how much paint I try to put on. That's real damn lame!
  25. Hikuro
    Paint is holding up really nicely. I've been doing a scratch "test" with my finger nails and what not. If I leave it alone for a day or two, it cures nicely. Which is why you don't see much of anything unless it's internal being assembled. I built the head as my final bit for the day, I feel like it could use a little blue violet or something on it instead of 2 shades of gray for the turrets and head unit itself. There's a very faint clear green on the visor, but just enough to make it stand out as something was there. That bit came out nicely.
