    Secondary thrusters or auxiliary thrusters or even backpack thrusters sounds more appropriate. Just like "leg" thrusters doesn't seem appropriate for the primary thrusters since one could argue that they are equally important and used in other modes. I wouldn't call them "fighter" thrusters. That's like saying Battriod arms vs Gerwalk arms. One could argue that arms are primarily for Battriod mode. They're just arms.

    It only covers the thrusters in one mode (fighter). One could just as easily call it a Battriod thruster cover flap thing-a-ma-jig.

    But it should be down in gerwalk mode. You only use it to cover them in fighter mode. So, maybe just thruster cover...flap thingy
  4. I so want to touch her rune. I'm such a perv. Actually they first met face to face going head to head on a tabletop video game. Which is the way all young lovers met in the 80s. It was totally awesome, dude.

    I think the technical term is "Rear Flap Thingy"
  6. I did a little experiment in my car. Without the steering wheel in the way, I could extend my arms all the way out and do the Freyja cockpit dance moves just fine. It was worth finding out even with the awkward stare from the car next to me sitting at the light. Well, I had the dang song playing in the car. I was compelled to try it out.
  7. I always assumed pilot comfort (heat/cold) was handled by the flight suit? Any experts care to elaborate. I really want to know. Then again it was mentioned that Hayate's valk was modified so that he wasn't required to wear a helmet. Maybe the A/C system is part of those mods.
  8. You want the Aoshima ones. These NECA diecast are smaller, but afforadable though. I have them on order myself. Looking forward to the Sulaco, Nostromo, and Narcissus. Also, the Terminator Hunter Killers (both aerial and tank)

    Totally. Makes it closer to a desirable low vis color.
  10. True. I guess since there wasn't time for a marriage scene in DYRL the marriage cannon comes from SDF for sure.
  11. I did take note that the scenes depicting M&M are the DYRL cannon.

    Whew! Woke up this morning and thought I missed the boat. It's still up at amiami, so I pre-ordered 1 CF valk. That's what I get for binge watching House of Cards and not checking MW more often.
  13. It is kind of funny how I'll hang on to all the older media of DYRL even though I don't even own a VCR or Laserdisc player, so I have no way of playing them. I still keep my old PS1 just in case I want to play the DYRL side scrolling game. I haven't played it in years.

    I'm wondering if the bonus stand comes in a separate box and that's what pushed the shipping cost up? I would think Bandai would use the same box as the Hikaru VF-1S for the Roy since the stand was a limited bonus for early orders. This way they don't have to change packaging for later non-bonus stand orders.

    Another thing I would like to mention just as an FYI regarding my additional invoice from NY for the VF-1S. I couldn't get to the payment page through the link on the email. I had to manually log in to PayPal directly to find the pending invoice and make the payment. It sounds like they are really having problems with their invoice systemm
  16. Does that track the package through the space time continuum?
  17. Play it safe. Keep your toys out of heat and light, period. For rubbery parts/items I recall a chemical you can buy to keep gaskets/rubber in good shape. RocketPunchArmy on YouTube did a video on it.
  18. My sentiment as well. The opening song was very forgetable. I knew the music wasn't going to be as good the minute I learned Yoko Kanno wasn't doing it.Still, there's plenty to like about the series than dislike, and I'm definitely leaning more to an overall thumbs up.
  19. This photo is starting to get me hooked on the Cosmo Fleet ships.
  20. Yes, you are wrong, so very wrong. Just kidding.
  21. If we achieve commercial space flight in my lifetime I'm totally going to use the phrase "gotta drain my in-scale space pickle"
  22. What bothers me more is the lack of any talking. Just the hiss of the active mic. It always seems creepy and kind of freaks me out. Like some sort of stalker-like voyeur video or something.
  23. I kind of forgot when Frontier was being aired. Approximately how long did we wait from the air date of an episode to start seeing subtitles being put out. Edit: crap, meant to post this in the NYE sppecial talkback thread. Sorry.
  24. Paid this morning. It's now sitting in my HLJ private warehouse. Need to add on a few things before I ship.
