The wings won’t even stay attached. Do you have the wings plugged all the way in? Myself and some others thought we had a weak wing connection too but the wings should plug into the body, I can hold my entire figure up by the end of either wing, super solid.

derex3592 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I had the Blue Thunder that was about 1:18 Scale. Maybe a hair under. came with one or two pilots. It was a GREAT toy. Always wished I'd had an Airwolf that size to match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podtastic Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Wolf Heavy Weapons Predator came yesterday. Had to pay extra shipping due to Sideshow not shipping to my location. Unless they start doing Predators from the comics this should then conclude my 1/6 Pred figure collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pafy6285 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 just a quick pic of my July/Aug loot. Already my 3rd MB Strike (first two for aile strike, and gunbarrel pack) in prepration for the launcher/sword pack. Hopefully that will be the last Strike, lol. Also, the MB Laevatein is my 2nd one (already have the 1st release years ago). Again in preparation for the flight pack add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Decided to massively revamp my gaming pc set up with a Samsung 49inch curved gaming monitor and a proper racing simulator seat and frame. Can't wait to get it all setup! Just waiting on the simulator rig to arrive.. hopefully today. Also purchased the monitor stand so I can get rid of the desk entirely! I guess I won't be buying a Valkyrie anytime soon then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Looking good! I really wish aircraft rigs were as easy to setup as driving ones. I'm slowly picking up parts and components for a dedicated simming rig, but I'm continually torn between focusing on a functional physical cockpit (not to mention which aircraft to model it after), or actually going the VR approach, and just mounting a few key controls like a gear and hook handle. I keep hoping someone will truly bridge the "augmented reality" gap, and give me a way to build a physical pit with a bluescreen curtain that gets replaced with the sim.

spanner Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I had looked at a few other brands which could accommodate both racing and flying but they were either too expensive or not very suitable for one discipline or the other. The place I Purchased this one from says they'll have an add on part that will allow me to use the flight stick and throttle quadrant which is coming in the next few months so I'll definitely pick that up. Not super fussed at not being able to fly at the moment but my ratio between driving and flying is 90-10.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave IV Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Probably the greatest toy I bought in a long time. But even better than the throwing axes it came with... Ninja shuriken training! The kids absolutely love this! Actually, the whole fam loves it and my wife was the one who said we had to get it after seeing it at a friend’s house. I had to step it up with the ninja action though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Here’s two pics of the on/off switch on the Batsignal. It’s cool how many little functional details they’ve put in. Despite how much I think Ghidorah is overpriced and terribly engineered. It does look good propped up next to Godzilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the fun goes into overdrive when you get some of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OCQJ3U/?coliid=I3RPVJ8ZWDW3VC&colid=3PVQ2PXJJ7BQ6&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NGGRXG/?coliid=I6S2Q17U8IFJE&colid=3PVQ2PXJJ7BQ6&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OCZBSE/?coliid=I2G1Z1P9RAT4XP&colid=3PVQ2PXJJ7BQ6&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it My kids can't run around outside with real shurikens like I used to, throwing them at trees and fences all day but this is just about as good as it gets. I've been playing it constantly since I got it and my kids each have their shurikens in hand or at their side at all times when we're at home.
