  1. If they do Grace's in a proper olive-brownish-green, I'll likely have to buy it...
  2. Kinda sucks for everyone who already bought the recent revival with Super packs, or still have the previous renewal but no Tornado pack? I'd probably buy a separate Tornado pack--but no way I'm buying a whole 'nother -25F just to get the Tornado parts... 2 "combo packs" in a row seems ridiculous for the same exact base valk.
  3. I too am curious about matte-coating the armor pack, since I now have a revival -25, and the sheen difference is pretty extreme. My main concern about various coatings is durability.
  4. I'll probably pick up Sulu if it turns out well, I'm a huge Excelsior fan.
  5. You know, if they do Dr Brahms, they could easily re-tool for Captain Benteen. Might be enough to make producing her worthwhile.
  6. The new Deluxe Prime is the first I'll buy in years. ROUND FUEL TANKS. Makes truck mode 10x better. I really, really hate the 'flat' tanks so prevalent nowadays---so unrealistic and clearly "not how a transforming Freightliner would look". Look at how simply and elegantly the Netflix one dealt with "round tanks as a truck, but not as a robot".
  7. Reminds me of the days of multi-disc CD games, where you needed to have a pile of spare cases, because the discs were nearly impossible to get back in safely/scratch-free from whatever they had rigged up to hold them inside at the factory "that wasn't anything like the normal way"---because it was panic-inducing just getting them out the first time. (that, and when it was trendy to make the part actually holding the disc clear--which meant half the teeth would shatter within the first 1 or 2 uses due to brittleness)
  8. If you're gonna repaint it, fix the inverted chest stripes while you're at it... (the #1 reason I don't own the DX -19, might be the chest stripes--bug the HECK out of me)
  9. Flightsuit Makina? Moderately interested, if not SD. (though something like that would be totally out of their normal range I think). Sv-262 with drones? Much more their thing, if not SD/eggplane.
  10. Is it possible that they simply don't currently offer the particular metal that was originally used? I see quite a few metal options overall still, so surely some parts they allow in metal? (thinking maybe it's time I try the mod on mine, too---I remember the thread/mod from back when, but was too chicken to try opening the wings up). But after years of "being mildly irritated by them", maybe it's time to go for it. And if it breaks---same as Graham, an excuse to get the PF version...
  11. I would need to mix so many elements from different -19's over the years to create the "perfect" YF-19 toy... Every once in a while, I consider a newer -19, and keep waffling over "is Bandai's really better OVERALL?" "What aspects are truly most important to me?" And then I end up just sticking with my first-batch Arcadia, with its loose wing hinges...
  12. So, trying to find every moment we see a fold booster in Frontier thanks to the above posts, I'm trying to nail down the color----when we see the one being mounted on Michael's -25G, it looks quite red---not PURE red like Hikaru/Alto red stripes, but pretty red. But pretty much every other appearance of that model (mainly on Brera's), it looks more "coral" in coloring. I don't think it's an intentional change, just "inconsistency". "By numbers" it appears coral way more often than it appears red---but "by quality"---we see it clear, well-lit, and well-animated up close when it's red---we never get a *really* good look while it's on Brera's. Always in the background, or obscured by the -27's afterburners, at night, etc. Thoughts on the 'real' color of that model of fold booster? (all I know for sure is that it's not mauve, like the Bandai DX rendition of it)
  13. Yeah, don't buy PC parts from Amazon, they don't check at all---I've gotten "new" parts with brown dirt and crud on them...
