    There's rumblings from the grapevine that Nvidia might try to push up the Supers' release to end-of-year/Q4 2025. We will definitely see them by CES in January 2026. Just FYI, rumors point to the Supers having the exact same CUDA core count as the non-Supers. Differences will be increased memory clock speeds and increased memory capacities. Wattage will also go up by 10-20% due to the increased memory clock speed.

    Any of you have a Sega Saturn emulator? Decades ago I played a Saturn demo disc which had a pre-production sample level from the Macross DYRL game. The final boss was a different version from the final release build The demo version boss had legs, vs the release was a flyer. I THINK I found the demo disc online, the cover looks familiar Could anyone boot up their emulator and try this disc image to see if the final boss has legs or jets? Search Flash SegaSaturn Vol 16 https://archive.org/download/sega_saturn Thanks for any help! I'll continue to try and find my original disc, but not sure where I have it stored

    that sounds interesting. Looking forward to 2026 yeah the supers are not interesting at all. 2026 it is. that sounds really powerful. I hope the ps6 portable, if it gets past the rumor stage, will actually have an above minimal battery life. i hope it'll play longer than an hour.

    That's the Bandai DX VF-1 line.
  12. sh9000
    That's a Combiner Wars Blast Off.

    Yeah, that's total BS. $70 for a $35 toy that hasn't even released yet. I hope no one buys it.
  14. Hikuro
    see? Thats BS! I know this figure isn’t exactly out yet but come on! That’s total price gouging right there if there ever was.

    Honestly, I wouldn't doubt Hasbro will do package refreshes on some of the more popular characters like the Dinobots eventually. It'd be great if they announced these things to alleviate FOMO and give fans who may have missed the first release some peace of mind, but they don't, alas. Anyway, the fact that people, especially other fans, will shamelessly fleece other fans for stuff (across all fandoms, not just Transformers) speaks poorly of this era. I doubt it'll get better in time, and likely will worsen, but that doesn't mean history won't look back and recognize greed and generally screwing each other over as a positive. We're totally lost when it does. Cons are the worst excuse for greed-driven mark-ups and gouging. We've come to accept it as part of the experience, but why? I imagine at one time many years ago they were the places to find good deals, but over time people saw an opportunity to separate their fellow fans from their money and the trend has just escalated to the point that a lot of stuff, especially retired items, are so highly priced that they're beyond the reach of many of us. It really pisses me off when I see something that's currently out on the market, I know the MSRP, I know where I can get it for that price, but for the sake of the convention, there's a substantial markup, sometimes nigh to or over twice the MSRP and I have to wonder if it's really necessary to screw over your fellow fans that way? But, generally, they're targeting the more casual fan who may not be heavy into collecting, sees a toy that reminds him or her of their childhood, and is unaware that the toy in question is currently out there at retail for far less money. I don't agree with it, but I see it happen. Incidentally, while I've never been to a Transformers convention (yet!), I've been going to LEGO conventions for about a decade, and the same trend happens there. I've splurged, within reason, on retired sets (Classic Space!), I've seen the going prices for retired or rare Transformers on ebay, Amazon, etc, and it's definitely deflating. I mean, it's a toy, and in many cases, it's a toy that once cost $50 or less MSRP and now the price can run ten times that or well more. When prices are exorbitant like that, I figure I've lived without it this long and I can continue to do so. Paying my bills and having a comfortable, not extravagant, lifestyle is more important to me than the toy that got away.

    Yeah...being a POS intentionally is just a bad, head-scratching move....
  17. Hikuro
    Gradius would be fun. I picked up a few games this weekend, nothing much, nothing impressive. Transformers on the PSP and boy is that game a POS.....Ace Combat 4 for PS2 which if I recall was a really fun game to play! And Terminator 2 Dawn of Fate....I remember playing it a tad bit at a friends house, but never got more than I think the intro on it thru and gave it back to him. Sadly there weren't much there for games at this con I went too.....lots of overpriced garbage I'd never get, or import games that I can't play on the 64. Guess I need to mod my 64, I heard it's real similar to doing the SNES.

    Lets agree to agree we don't know what it is lol

    Closer to a DX Henkei, but that's disrespectful to Takatoku Henkeis.

    Right? She's definitely my treasure. On your TOS-E: I see you have the Gary Kerr paint callouts! Those helped me tremendously when I did my 1/650 and 1/537 ships! As for the nacelle caps: I found that "frosting" the outside of the outer dome with #0000 steel wool and then1-2 thin coats of Tamiya Acrylic Transparent Orange will give you that "glowing hellfire" look. I was thinking just that, since some planes are definitely named. The plane may not be 100 percent on-spot accurate, but after the absolute hell I went through with it, I think I can be forgiven.

    So Soft Cup Jam is Ice Cream? Never heard of it so good to know
  24. Chronocidal
    Fair enough, yeah. Those VF-25 fighter kits did have the main parts color-molded, but considering how much of Alto's VF-25 is white anyway, it really wasn't a challenge. It think the only colored parts it had were the tails, fins, feet, head panel, cockpit insert, and gunpod. I bought a bunch though, since at the time they were about $6. I never intended to use the (absolute garbage) Bandai decals, since I was more interested in painting them up based on other schemes in the Master File, and a blank white plane was the ideal starting point.
