  1. Haven't you been agonizing about this for years now? Just stop already and find a different hobby.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I agree, having the weapon pod so broken from the spine was an odd design choice.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Do you have to part-swap the flat hands to fit in the wing? EDIT: woops, nevermind, just saw that picture with the newly articulated fingers
  4. YES got one!
  5. Yeah, the canard placement is really awkward for transforming to/posing in battroid mode.
  6. Life after Delta - if I could describe in one word, it'd be "deflated". Although if they release a DX VF-22S it would all have been worth it!
  7. Yeah I dunno. I'm not a toy engineer but I would think there must be a few better ways to have made that. At least they're not laser swords. Oy.
  8. So many moving pieces, tolerance QC for this would be extra important...
  9. I'm curious why the VF-31's gunpod can detach from the pod and be held, or why you would need to, since it's on a turret mount...
  10. Yep, my Alto 171 is still in great condition through many many transforms over the years.
  11. I don't think that's necessarily proof that those pinpoint-enhanced attacks are of equal efficacy as a knife pinpoint-enhanced attack. I mean in-universe there must be some sort of advantage, otherwise they wouldn't be a part of military hardware.
  12. Yep, in the top left drawing, in the rear of the fuselage here, 2 banks of 3 thrusters each: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossf/vf-25f/vf-25-lineart2.gif You can see it on the DX (v.2.) toy where the shield connects to the back of the fighter.
  13. It wouldn't surprise me with the amount of engine output that maneuvering thrusters alone could provide lift in battroid mode with the gen 5 fighters.
  14. Have you guys seen this? I don't know who modeled this Stampede valk but it's some really great work!
  15. I feel like this response just went way off track from what was being discussed. For me as an engineering layperson Seto, Dex, et al.'s points are clear and make a lot of sense, but I don't even know what your contention is anymore.
  16. Now that's interesting. If the "detuning" or trimming is just a software thing, and the engines are the same, couldn't Chaos or whoever theoretically (legally or not) re-write the software so that the -31Sigs are back up to -30 specs?
