    Yes, yes they do... or a Bandai DX.

    ... and there's also the possibility that any refit will be even more of an eyesore than the current JJ-Prise.

    ^ Can't wait for the kits, maybe even toys, of this fighter to be released; although, I don't like the grafted "alien tech" under-wing glow-y boxes... they're too bulky, do not match the aesthetic of the craft, and break up the sleekness of the fighter way too much, but with a kit they can be easily omitted. But who knows, seeing them in action and context may yet change my mind.

    Thank you... finally able to get in on a pre-order for one.

    Indeed. That came out of nowhere, and then you're just left slack-jawed, going... damn!!! Intense episode.

    ... and red dwarfs aside, our sun is kind of a runt in comparison to some of the heavyweights in our Galaxy, which is a damned good thing.

    ^... It's not the styrene... it's the paint thinner and plastic cement fumes...

    Didn't Luke make a similar comment, although not in a firefight context, regarding the inability to see anything out of the Stormtrooper helmet?... Very entertaining season 2 so far.

    Neodymium magnets, even small ones in the 1/8" sq -1/4" sq range, are surprisingly strong. This little 1/4"x1/4"x1/16" block magnet, for example, has a pull force of 1.77 lbs; a couple of them per side, pulling against each other (even with 1-3mm plastic separation), strategically placed, would provide quite a hold... maybe too much, perhaps.

    A bit of matching white paint will do wonders in minimizing the visual impact of those screws. For those fugly tabs, nothing short of cutting the off will suffice, but then you'd need to come up with some alternate solution for locating, stabilizing, and locking the two carapace halves... Properly aligned and strong rare earth magnets might do the trick.

    But in his mind, I'm sure, it's not gobbledygook if it's his gobbledygook...

    Considering that the VF-0A Shin Kudo type is still available at NY for 28,920¥ and HLJ for 31,320¥, unless the VF-0S proves a bulletproof release right off the gate, it's mostly safe to assume that it will be available at or near retail for quite some time after release.

    THIS...IS...EGYPT...!!! . . . . . Err... wrong movie. Yeah, that looks pretty bad.

    As far as the Revell SW kits are concerned, I'll only give consideration to subjects not offered in the Bandai lineup; there's just no comparison in detail and quality, and for roughly the same prices even with the procurement hoops imposed by Disney... who'd want a Revell neo-X-wing with soft and crude detail, and inaccurate proportions, when Bandai's version looks spot-on?

    Couldn't resist once I knew this was full cast-off with lingerie in-between ... I know, I'm a perv . Decided to go with Big in Japan, however.
