  1. It feels too rushed, with Marvel everyone had their own movie/movies or were at least in other movies (Hawkeye and Black Widow) to introduce them to us before Avengers. So far we only have had a Superman movie so that means a new Batman, Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor to intro in the movie. So either it is going to cram everything into a stupid amount of time and it is going to be a mess. Or it is going to be three hours long and to me there have been a few movies that can pull off that kind of run time well. The last Transformers movie is a not only a bad movie (understatement) but a bad long movie (2h45m) that makes it feel even worse. I hope that they keep the intro/backstory for the new guys short, like five minutes short. We know who these people are you don't have to give their whole life. For me best example of this would be Iron Man, they did that little news montage thing, a few quick scenes to intro the characters then bam! he is in the event that starts him on his path. Worst example (again for ME) is Batman Begains, they spent way too much time on Wayne before he even thinks about becoming Batman. They could have started with The Dark Knight and with only a few small changes and it would have been just fine in my book. (Really they only needed The Dark Knight, I'm not too fond of the other two at all)
  2. Caught it today with my brothers and man was it great! I liked the fact that they didn't take half the movie filling in the back story and the flow of the whole movie was very well done. I don't know much of history of the comics and I didn't feel lost at all. And Rocket was great!
  3. Just sent off my payment to HLJ now. So how does this group buy for the packs work? I am down for one of each.
  4. Re the EA-6B the Navy did a few birds with paint jobs like for the centennial of naval aviation (IIRC), here are a few I found awhile back. I think I have more saved somewhere and I know that there are more photos out there edit to add - Would loved to have seen an F-14 done up like this.
  5. As to why did Alto get the YF-29 and why is was marked as 'SMS007'. My take is that Alto may have had the most time on a -25 with Tornado packs, if so he would have been ready for the upped specs of the bird. And as for the numbering, his -25 was shwacked so they had no 'SMS007' at the time, it was a replacement and 'SMS007' was open also it may have been marked for Alto anyways. It (YF-29) was most likely in the works at the time right after the first movie due to Alto and the Tornado pack's role. So mixing all that together and I don't think that it is too big of a leap to see why he would get the -29. (not counting the fact that he is the 'Big Damn Hero' ) Anyways, liked the movie, looked outstanding and it felt long - but in a good way. Almost like watching 6-8 episode ova or something (they packed a lot of story into 2 hours!). I am not too crazy about the very end but it works. Also now I want more Dyson - and after watching 'Archer' on FX I can't help to think that is how Isamu would role as a spy.
  6. Pre-ordered the -25S as well, and am still waiting for my -25F to show up. Thanks for the heads-up!
  7. Alright see if this works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VviJOtseMdc
  8. I think I may have that one saved on a hard drive somewhere, I'll see if I can find if you want.
  9. Well thanks to all the pics and stuff I went and pre-ordered one a few days ago. (first Macross/VF toy-can you call something that cost this much a toy) You guys suck - making me spend money Also having the VF-25 master file book to flip through doesn't help.
  10. Best looking scheme on a VF-22, gives it a very good 'real world' look. Outstanding job!
  11. S-76 to S-75 ACAP That really works if you think about it. Even if the helo in question is not a true H-60 airframe modded but a new airframe altogether, it would help from a logistics point of view to use the H-60 avionics, powerplant, drive train, rotor heads and the like. They are already in the system, you know they work, have people that are already trained to work on them and from the super secret ninja view - there are fewer special parts to design, order, stock and forward to the operational area. Example would be to tuck one or two into a C-5/C-17 and go. How much more gear would you need to bring? Any area where U.S. troops are deployed are bound to have one or more variant of the H-60 around. Every branch uses at least one type of H-60.
  12. Just came across this "The U.S. Air Force has grounded all of its F-22 Raptors until further notice because of potential malfunctions in the fighter jets' oxygen-generation system." defensenews.com
  13. Best description of a Rhino's wing pylons ever!
