    Still patiently waiting for that DX VT superostrich review.

    I love those early Yamatos. Something about that iridescent cockpit.

    Found my Chara works vol. 1 also.

    Nearest Microcenter is hours away, but all of the others look like decent options, will look into them. My case is so old that it's basically jerry-rigged to support USB 3 ports, so if I were to build, I would need to buy that too. Though SSD's+PSU should be usable.

    Expanding on what Seto said: in the initial period, there were 2 types of Emigrant Fleet: close range (within 100 ly of Earth*), and long range. It makes sense that elements of the close range fleets would return to Earth and be reused due to the distances involved (E.g. parts of the fleet that discovered Planet Eden; located a mere 11.7 light years from Earth—about 1 day's travel. Isamu took around 18 hours* with the experimental Fold Booster). To give some numbers on the farthest flung Emigrant Fleets: the Macross F Fleet was described as having taken "20 years" to navigate to the vicinity of the centre of the galaxy, and it would take about half that time (10 years one-way) for a ship to return to Earth. So, I think the NUNS crews and civilians knew that they were on a one-way trip when they launched. The advent of the Super Fold Drive (in Macross F) reduced travel times to 1/10, but that would still take 1 year. Not impossible, but not really feasible. * back of the envelope math. 100 ly takes about 8.33 days to traverse with a standard Fold Drive.

    I was going through one of my bins and I came across these. I forgot I had them especially that little SD kit. Also came across a box of my 1/144 Chara Works vol. 2 planes. Hopefully the picture size is ok?

    I'm incredibly disappointed they didn't do anything to fill the gap in the moon buggy roof. Since you aren't gonna be storing the sword blade there with the upgrade kit, there's no purpose to it and the gap is just unsightly.

    I would sell mine for that much

    I ended up going back to Target during my lunch break today and got lucky with finding another Hot Rod. I took it home only discover QC issues with the arm covers/lasers popping off the second you touch them. I went surgical and just took apart both Hot Rods and Frankensteining together a Hot Rod with no defects. I'm just gonna return the one with all the QC issues.

    Same. I have maybe 4 here at the house in various stages of disassembly and another dozen or so in storage right now. Still an addict. Can’t wait for the “Missing Link” VF-1J release later this year. That said, take a look at this insanity: https://ebay.us/m/QdF2QC

    I would also like to buy the files. (I have my own printers)

    I guess it's just BBTS' markup:

    Idk. Mine seems fine. Just saw this pic get posted. Hot Rod needs to convert to Rodimus so that he can store all his sh!t.

    Choosing a notoriously problematically scaled vehicle as the point of reference That Legioss is pretty though!

    8cm wide, 14cm long. Almost exactly the size of a 1:72 Legioss, actually.
  24. m0n5t3r
    Really? If these are widespread issues, it might be prudent to cancel my preorder and wait for the Takara release 🤔.

    Oh, FECK yes!! Wayans be back, babay!!

    Yeah, so, with news getting worse by the day, I'm thinking I need a new PC *now* rather than "in the future". And building my own (with new RAM!) doesn't look like an option. But it's been literally decades since I *bought* a computer instead of built one, and have no idea what companies are decent nowadays etc. And not even sure where to buy, short of Walmart and BestBuy... Suggestions welcome! Basic wants/needs: Nvidia card, 16GB+ VRAM. Thinking 5060ti as the only semi-affordable option, but may do 5070 if that's all that's available. Would like 2x 2TB SSD's (OS+storage), but a large single would likely be OK. Extra slots on the mobo would be nice, I can slot in as many older SSD's as I have laying around... Lots of RAM! (yeah, I know). I currently have 48GB and would like even more, but at current prices I probably will actually have to downsize. Budget? No idea, but it's not gonna be some $600-900 budget build. 1500? 2000? 2500 if truly awesome? Nice-to-haves: I do value quiet, so a really good, really smooth nice-sounding PSU is a huge plus. Same for cooler. (no water cooling, do NOT trust it to run unattended) Case needs to be decent-sized for easy upgradability without worrying about "will it fit?". Not full-tower big, but more than micro-ATX preferable.

    I've been reading a slew of things wrong with this release from mismatched paint, broken legs, disintegrating tabs, loose joints, chipped/scraped paint, stress markings. There's been a lot of talk that Hasbro is really dropping the ball with their releases.
