    And the Mave jamming type in December. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=TOY-SCL3-46293

    What about Jan in the back of the YF-19 en route to Earth? Any indication if that was equipment on the YF-19 or part of the suit he wore?

    Any indication why they did this?

    Is this the wrong color or did I miss something somewhere? Also, the Compendium article for the VF-15 describes a "biological anti-G boost system". What is that and did it persist until the advent of the ISC?

    I'm hooked.

    Calm down, it's just one review. Don't get the pitchforks and torches out yet.

    Either I didn't have this issue or I interpreted it differently than you. For me there were no pure side channels and no rear channels, but there was definitely front left and front right. It sounded like a stereo mix where everything got put into the front speakers, which I guess could be accidental, but wasn't clearly so to me. It could have just been a limitation of the source. I don't know about the mixing, whether that was intentional or not, but I think specifically the noise/toys echoes were intentional since I don't see how an accident could result in that. On the topic of translation: this isn't specific to this theater showing and I've seen a few different translations for this part. What are Guld's words to Isamu and Myung in his final conversation when he mentions getting a drink with them? The theater showing and at least one other version I've seen translate them as "Let's get a drink after this" or "I'd like to get a drink after this" or something to that effect, specifically future tense. But one version I saw translated it as "I would have liked to get a drink after this", which I find more powerful since it's pretty obvious that Guld knows he's not coming back, where "Let's get a drink after this" suggests that he is or thinks he is.

    AMC Willowbrook in Houston. I'm pretty sure it was an intentional thing, it was just weird. There were a bunch of other parts where I thought something sounded "off" but couldn't quite put my finger on it. Either the songs were mixed differently or the mixing between music and sound effects was different, that sort of stuff. Information High was just the part that stuck in my mind and was easiest to describe.

    So first off, I really enjoyed seeing it in the theater. Site showed 8 seats sold, which seemed about right, although I didn't count. Started about 15 minutes late and someone did go out to ask about it. Was the audio... different... for anyone else? Like, I guess some of it could maybe be attributed to mixing for the theater or whatever, but some of the songs were straight up different from any version I had heard before. Easiest to notice was during "Information High". In the "Sayonara to intrusive noise / No more childish play and no more toys" part, both "noise" and "toys" were echoed a couple times. On one hand it definitely felt intentional considering it was on beat and everything, but on the other it was kind of jarring and didn't really seem to fit.

    What methods do colony fleets have to refuel? Can they pull hydrogen from stars Elite Dangerous-style?

    I'm thinking the hip and knee joints are worm geared and there's a tool to move them without having a knob sticking out all the time.

    The YF-24 was approved by the Federal NUNS (i.e. Earth) for production in 2057. The specs were then partially redacted and transmitted to the colonies for them to do with them what they will. Frontier developed it into the YF- and VF-25 and the YF-29. Galaxy developed it into the VF-27. Presumably some fleets just produced it locally without changes. The "main NUNS fighter" of Earth is the VF-24, but the local NUNS branches at each colony fleet are doing their own thing. You may be thinking of the YF-29, which absolutely is too expensive to produce.

    I think the second set of sub-wings are just visible beneath the main wings.

    I mean... I like Max and Milia, but they're in their mid-70s by the time this movie is set. Why are they not enjoying their well-deserved retirement?

    It's been a while since I've seen any of the Brosnan films, but the biggest difference I remember in his portrayal is that Brosnan's Bond always seemed to have a plan or clever gadget to get him out of every conceivable situation, whereas Craig is more likely to just fight his way out of a bind. I haven't read any of the books or seen enough of the films to have much of an opinion over which one is better or worse, they're just different, to me.

    I like The Witch overall, but I feel like it was made worse by there actually being a witch. The movie was inspired by stories of puritan American settlers and their religious paranoia, and I didn't really like how that paranoia was realized in the movie. Still haven't seen Hereditary or Midsommar although I've been meaning to check out both. Maybe I'll watch them with my sister, we haven't had a horror movie watch party in a while. Not sure how I feel about Lamb from the trailer.

    Counterpoint: While it may bear some superficial similarity to the SV-51 Battroid and VF-4 fighter, it presumably transforms like neither of them, given where various bits appear to end up (obviously excepting the VF-4 style legs). Between this and the SV-262, I'd argue that Delta gave us some pretty darn original designs.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    snakerbot replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I hope that big gap between the wingtip and its mount is just it being mistransformed. I never ended up getting a 31A so I may pick up one of the 31AX's. I guess I'll wait and see which/how many we get.

    An oldie but goodie. Original publication at https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=153337.

    That looks more like a new ghost fighter than anything else. Perhaps a companion to the new VF.

    Watched this last week with my parents. I thought the story was... ok. I had several huge issues with the science and the way some of the characters were presented that I just couldn't get over, though. ...Space nerd rant over.

    Those look a lot like VF-27 toes on the back of the wing engines. Also a vernier ring or thrust reverser doohicky just forward of them. I agree with Sanity is Optional that the outboard engines look like the lower legs, but I'm not sure where the arms go.

    If you unscrew just the bottom visible screw there, you can get the nub past its stop with not much effort.

    Wait, the circled one is the wrong one? Both of the hips on mine look like that... Great. While I'm at it, anyone else have issues with the ankle ball joints being really loose? They're not so bad that they flop around under their own weight, but they definitely don't support any poses. In order for it to stand, at least one of the ankles needs to be at the extreme forward (toe up) end of its range of motion so it can't move anywhere.
