    Almost forgot about Spider-Noir too! Maybe it'll be a two month long subscription, lol.

    Just a small note to people who own the Hi-Metal R (STTC) that people might not have noticed!? But if you shine a light into the leg vents, there is a silver coloured grill visible that you don't notice otherwise! 😉 It's nice that small details like this are added although you can hardly see it! 👍🏻

    lol, Engadget trying to play Lies of P on it. congrats, hope it'll last you for a while. having a 5080 is nice.

    The chromed piece was a very poor choice. It makes the rest of the toy look much more unfinished than slavish toon-accuracy usually looks.

    Probably so she can sit on the bike that they never released

    All the ones from the movie and show will probably be done eventually. Just gotta give a lil time between releases. Also watch for how recent a hasegawa version is.

    I'll post some better pics in the morning, just a quick shot with the turrets mounted on. @SteveTheFish I'm honestly not sure where these originated from, besides being long out of production, MW member @Thom hooked me up with these. Rarely, but they do pop up on eBay from time to time, like 4 months ago someone had a listing, but I missed out. Curious about your Kakizaki VF-1A, any reason you're using 013 instead of 012 for his Valk?

    If I may ask again, where did you buy these? Is "Admiralty Model Works" another one of those "We only sell on Facebook" entities? I did a search on Google and DuckDuckGo but only saw links to Scalemates.com.

    Finally actually tried out new PC tonight. Seems ok so far, but gonna take forever to figure out fan curves. Out of the box it runs the radiator too much and is too sensitive (1 degree up from idle ramps them up a ton) and basically just idles the rear exhaust... Also, forgot how INSANE Edge is to start with, with constantly advertising "features". Have identified all main components except the PSU----seems to be pretty generic and likely the cheapest component. Non-modular, so it's a huge mess when you start digging and I don't feel like undoing the surprisingly good job of cable management the factory did, until I have to. Biggest surprise---everyone said they used WD green SSD's in these, but mine is a "T-Force G50". A quick google shows that to be surprisingly decent?

    Yeah. The gist from written articles on Engadget and Tom's Hardware are saying pretty much the same thing as well- you can get an Air if you need more power, but for most people who are doing almost everything in a browser it's powerful enough and built better than almost anything else at that price. I found this part of Engadget's review especially amusing... Like, imagine that, the one thing Macs aren't known to be good at doesn't work too good on the cheapest laptop Apple's ever made. EDIT: I ordered a Citrus one at Best Buy, but it won't be available until the end of the month. I'll sell my M1 Air to a buddy who's current Mac is the second-to-last Intel Mac Mini, recoup some of that cost back.
  14. davidwhangchoi
    I'll probably get this on sale or the next gen that prob will have 12gb of ram for the same cost using the a19 chip in the future.

    Magnets sound cool. Clear stand connection is okay too, esp. for long term display. I've been fooling around with the Dana figs and I just have to say, casual Dana's thigh gap is something else .
  16. davidwhangchoi
    MKBHD seems to agree with you.
  17. jvmacross
    Selling your 1/55 collection for quick cash....would be interesting to know how much of the final offer was for the Macross/Robotech stuff...maybe 20%?
  18. KOG Water Dragon
    Pre-ordered. Despite feeling like I prefer the movie version in regards to the leg packs. Maybe now is the time for Miria/Max versions? I keep hoping. What are the best bets for further releases in this mould series? Movie -1A with decals in red/blue/green? Movie VF-1S Roy? Or -1J in Miria/Max colors?
  19. KOG Water Dragon
    Waiting for HLJ to confirm they got one for me. Stock status on the item page shows it as still pending. At least it hasn't switched to backorder.

  21. MILKAUTICO started following VF-X VA-3 Invader 1/60 scale, the dead horse rises again

    Oh Lord of Macross!! Thank you for answering my prayers from years ago

    I agree. Yeah. I really see the Neo as a replacement for the M1 Air. The performance is in that space. Again, I see the Neo as a device for schools wanting to move away from Chromebooks and cheap Windows laptops and punching above its price point. Kids' computer (high schoolers, teenagers), non-engineering/non-science college majors, older parents/grandparents or anyone who just needs a laptop that does web, email, video, documents, homework, taxes, everyday computing...this laptop fulfills that need at a $500-price point. It's perfect for that class. If you need more performance but still want portability, the Air is where I would start. For most people, corporate/enterprise customers, I would point them at the Air. I've used an Air for a while now and the Air is my go-to for that space if you want a Mac laptop. I would not recommend anything lower than an Air for enterprise if they want a Mac. You get more mileage at this price point for those customers. What about a refurbished M4 Air? Still at this level but you don't want to pay for new. A Neo would be a step down at this level and the M4 Air is *used*. If they need more than an Air, then were entering the realm of the gaming laptops, higher-end laptops, MB Pros, desktops, higher-end computing.

    I keep hoping they'll re-mold the X-wing from scratch, it's insane how bad the quality is compared with most of the other fighters now. At least it looks like they finally painted the canopy the rest of the way.

    Don’t forget to take full advantage of that subscription and add Hundreds of Beavers to the watchlist
  26. Big s
    I’d take him for free. I’d put him on a shelf and tell him he’s “a lil special” everyday. Might even give him a lil pat on the head

    Eh... I don't think he's wrong, but I think the way he's framing it is a bit different. I think he and I agree that the MacBook Neo is not automatically the best choice for everyone. Gamers are going to need something with a real GPU. Professionals will need something with more RAM and/or a faster CPU, maybe more storage. I think where he and I are disagreeing is that he's suggesting that you should spend more, arguing that you can get a faster CPU and more RAM with a refurbished MacBook Air. And, yeah, I see you can get an Apple certified refurb for around $760, that'll net you an M4 and 16GB of RAM. But that $160 jump from $600 to $760 is about a 27% increase in price (or more, if you get the education discount on a new one like he suggests), and you're not even getting a brand new computer in that scenario. And it's a slippery slope, too... I mean, why not another $140 and get a brand new M4 MacBook Air? Heck, then I might as well drop another $200 and get the latest and greatest with an M5 MacBook Air. The thing is, do you really need that much? I mean, if you know you need more power than the Neo chances are you (or your organization) were already budgeting for a more expensive laptop. But for the majority of people who are just going to surf the net, watch Netflix, maybe work on a school paper or FaceTime with Grandma? The Air is overkill. The only counterargument that guy offered to that was, "well, it's only got 8GB of RAM and it'll feel slow in five years." Maybe? Maybe you buy a new $600 Neo then with better specs and still come out ahead of a six year old M4 Air (since the current Neo does beat the 6yo M1 air)? Or maybe it still won't matter that much... I'm thing this on an M1 Air, and even with 8GB of RAM it's still way snappier than the Ryzen 3400G PC with Windows 11 even after I upgraded that one to 16GB of RAM. Ultimately, I think comparing the MacBook Neo to the MacBook Air isn't right for most people. I think the right move is comparing the MacBook Neo to other laptops in the same $500-$600 price range, where Apple's build quality, better hardware/software optimization, and less Windows 11-style enshittification are making it look like a clear winner. Bottom line, for me I use my MacBook exclusively as a secondary device, almost entirely in a browser, when I value something thinner and lighter but still possessing a physical keyboard. If I need more power I'll use my desktop or my G14. And for me, the Neo is actually an upgrade with a better screen and a faster CPU than my current M1 Air... the RAM, hard drive, ports, and lack of MagSafe all seem to be the same, I'm really only losing the backlight on the keyboard. Too bad the only local store that sells Apple computers seems pre-sold out.

    Clever solution, will be interested to see how you implement it.
