    Thanks Chas; I had a few dealings with AliExpress and got ripped off all three times. I won't deal with them again, sorry to say.

    If you have a Hobby Lobby nearby, you could try this: https://www.hobbylobby.com/crafts-hobbies/wood-crafts-blank-surfaces/signs-plaques/round-wood-plaque/p/80999567

    Ya. And I'm just saying, for the price of the kit, it sucks to still need to pay even more for the vf-31 waterslides. 2500y markup for the acrylic and idol decals.

    Yeah, it’s just that it says waterside decal and I think everyone just thinks that means a whole sheet for the kit, but it’s just that one for the idol. It takes some careful reading to see it.

    I just got one and I double checked the box just now. Waterslide idol decals, stickers for the VF-31J markings. It seems to advertise stickers on the box as well.

    https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CgZgDA3gJ/ kinda hate the exposed cavity at the shoulder armour. Is this also present for sentinel version?

    Glad to see it is healing up quick, Peng! That paint is coming out nice and smooth!

    BBTS is taking preorders at $225. They say that price includes the tarrif. EDIT: Didn't see that this discussion went to the next page and Hikuro already mentioned that.

    Yeah it’s unfortunate. I should have come up with a modification to make it movable but I felt like it was out of my wheelhouse. I appreciate the advice on the stand. I just happen to have one of those wire yard sign post things and just need to find a nice base. I’ll see what I can come up with. Would be nice to make a circular one with the UN spacey logo on it. 🤔

    I had one of those many years ago, there are cheap cordless ones that can be adapted to a badger, but I hear the longevity can be an issue on some. you may want to wait for a prime day sale and see if there are just some inexpensive compressors

    hey @pengbuzz I'm gonna put this link here and you can look it over. The reviews seem genuine, and it looks like it may not be too bad. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009086983955.html?spm=a2g0n.detail.platformRecommendH5.13.23e1UFQbUFQbf4&gps-id=platformRecommendH5&scm=1007.40196.439370.0&scm_id=1007.40196.439370.0&scm-url=1007.40196.439370.0&pvid=37193928-332e-4ee1-9b6a-acefb37d6148&_t=gps-id:platformRecommendH5,scm-url:1007.40196.439370.0,pvid:37193928-332e-4ee1-9b6a-acefb37d6148,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238107%231934&pdp_ext_f={"order"%3A"21"%2C"eval"%3A"1"%2C"sceneId"%3A"8499"}&pdp_npi=6%40dis!CAD!88.56!61.99!!!62.69!43.88!%40210337bc17572906776303282e37e4!12000047861122705!rec!CA!!ABXZ!1!0!n_tag%3A-29910%3Bd%3Add452cad%3Bm03_new_user%3A-29895 I know it's aliexpress but a lot of the stuff I've gotten from them is actually not too cheaply made - but you need to be vigilant. Maybe other folks could have a look and give an opinion? Or another version that comes with a hose. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008290480304.html?spm=a2g0n.detail.platformRecommendH5.4.2bf17Jgc7JgcIi&gps-id=platformRecommendH5&scm=1007.40196.439370.0&scm_id=1007.40196.439370.0&scm-url=1007.40196.439370.0&pvid=ec90b1d1-f692-4fb8-a9e7-d73453afff07&_t=gps-id:platformRecommendH5,scm-url:1007.40196.439370.0,pvid:ec90b1d1-f692-4fb8-a9e7-d73453afff07,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238109%231935&pdp_ext_f={"order"%3A"41"%2C"eval"%3A"1"%2C"sceneId"%3A"8499"}&pdp_npi=6%40dis!CAD!62.68!62.68!!!44.37!44.37!%402101ead817572912473822552ed01c!12000044499794004!rec!CA!!ABXZ!1!0!n_tag%3A-29910%3Bd%3Add452cad%3Bm03_new_user%3A-29895

    Right? I was lucky to get ML Sunstreaker through BBTS; they decided to NOT charge the tariff for those who had already ordered.
  16. pengbuzz
    Thanks; I have an airbrush already (Badger 350), so I just really need a compressor. Was wondering if the small cordless one could be attached to another airbrush.
  17. davidwhangchoi
    do you have the regular pre-order bonus missiles and how much would they cost after tariffs? Also, what is that gun, is that a flamethrower?
  18. Hikuro
    on BBTS's site, it's 225 with a 25 deposit and that's after tariffs. Personally I won't be buying any overseas figures anytime soon because of the tariffs are changing left and right based on ol Trump's attitude. Just isn't worth it since its the consumer who gets the pinch.
  19. davidwhangchoi
    i don't remember deer stalker... is that the ultra magnus version of prime's roller? i wonder if this is 200 dollars with tariffs
  20. Big s
    It’s a bit of an investment if you don’t have cash, but if you get a good deal, the actekart no clean airbrush is pretty fun. It’s rechargeable and comes with disposable needles and extra bottles that can either be tossed or cleaned. It sometimes goes on sale at Amazon on prime days
  21. Bolt
    I'm hoping it's going to be a fun ride.
  22. pengbuzz
    Thanks for the complete rundown here, @mikeszekely! Now I have a better idea of what they're working with here.
  23. pengbuzz
    Lol yeah; this prevented me from doing much the past 2 weeks (other than cursing out the oil fryer). Too bad there wasn't an option to make it extendable. That being said: I usually make my own stands out of a block or plate of wood (old wooden cigar boxes work well for this, as do wood pieces from Hobby Lobby) and some heavy aluminum rods (old political signs work well for this, as they have heavy "wire" frames that pull out of them. I simply paint the stand black and this hides the metal post. I think that might give you the height you need to mount your model. On another note: I was considering something like this, but money is an issue for me. I would like perhaps a regular airbrush compressor (I like doing airbrush stuff but the air cans get expensive!), as I miss being able to do custom colors, weathering and whatnot. But it looks like a decent one is going to be outside of what I can afford (40-50 dollars max here; even models are becoming a problem for me to buy, (thanks to inflation!). Suggestions, folks?

    Fully agree, Kawamori's creativity and variety has kept me here for...well, more years than I care to think about. 😉 Your reasoning makes good sense, though I'm not sure the designs actually reflect their intended use so much as whatever cool idea they had at the moment. For all my nit picking, I won't argue that they're all very cool. Tangent: went to the aviation museum today to see an actual Corsair (along with a bunch of other very cool ladies). My color picks weren't too far off, though as PBS might note, no giant red highlights! 😁 (One very cool note, this is a working museum. All of these planes are operational and flown regularly, even the DeHaviland. They just obtained a C-46 and have just started restoring it, very neat to see).

    Since it will be a good year until season 5 of THE BEAR, we stretched it out and finally finished season 4 last night. I loved everything about this season; the Wedding episode was top tier, and the acting & script did not disappoint IMO throughout the season. But of the all the scenes that brought a tear to my eye for sure, and I swear I even clapped, was when Carmy was in his old room and you could clearly see a copy of Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain on his nightstand... pure perfection.

    Marin in My dress up darling is really smitten. I wish we knew what Gojo thought about Marin.

    The top of the thigh is diecast (rotational joint at the top), while the remainder is plastic; that said, the rest of the thigh is two pieces that screw together, so it's not the one-piece of the original G1. Here's a pic: And then while putting it back, I found out that I was completely wrong about the overtravel and flexing forward: At first I thought "$#1T, I broke it!!", until I realized it wasn't flopping or wobbling around. With this in mind, there's also the front of the knee, which is indeed a plastic plate that's stationary (inset for engraved "decal) that could well be modified to hinge forward and allow more forward motion on the knee if they chose. It wouldn't be unreasonable, given that they also modified the back of the calf/ lower leg on ML:UM. I would like to see someone do a third party back cover for the figure though, to cover over at least the cab. We'll have to see.

    😂 wow but seriously it’s looking way better.
