    Flame Toys is doing *Animated* BA? Now that is interesting/purchase-worthy.

    Is there any reason the wings are so small? They really have no constraints AFAIK, they don't really have to fit inside anything. Gimme ones like this:

    Just unveil it already...

    I'm surprised we don't have a UCS T-70 X-Wing yet. Disney sure seems to like merchandising the orange-accented ones especially. (though I much prefer blue). Also it's been WAY too long since we got a UCS TIE of any kind.

    A Discovery-version Enterprise would be very welcome.

    I think they assume everyone watched and paid careful attention to EVERYTHING before-hand. You miss one ep of Rebels, and a lot of this ep's story bits are lost.

    The accent thing is very intentional with adult Hera. "Back home" (or when highly stressed with family etc) she slips back to her "native Rylothian" accent (which just so happens to sound a lot like French). But "with everyone else" she uses her "practiced/acquired neutral standard Basic accent".

    I've never seen a Mirage damaged. Did it "snap/burst" apart under stress, or did it just fall/crumble out?

    Sadly, that's what makes the re-use of story arcs "grounded in realism".

    They should have just made this "a new quest" for the Jumanji series...

    I'm still annoyed there's no TV-colors MG Tallgeese. Considering the popularity of the TV-colors RG version, you'd think they'd have done it by now.

    Re: MP-52's belly in fighter mode, alt-mode realism vs robot mode, etc----IMHO, it comes down to a point I made earlier: They will always side with a minor improvement in toon-accuracy, over a massive increase in alt-mode realism. What if MP-52 used the actual canopy in robot mode? (or, like some 3P versions do, use most of the canopy and a few other bits)------the jet mode would look SO much better without that whole assembly hanging beneath it, and the robot mode would only be a smidge less accurate. (and IMHO, look better for it, since it wouldn't have the bulging beer-belly curve any more). It's a MASSIVE change to the alt-mode and transformation, for the sake of a minor difference that is arguably denigrating to the character. "Gotta make sure the otherwise-trim guy has his beer-gut!"

    Amazingly, my burned HDD still works! (I didn't try it until now until I had an external adapter, to isolate it a bit from the new mobo etc in case it had developed an internal short or something) Transferred all my "important but somehow not on latest backup" files to my backup, and am now transferring simply everything onto a new SSD I picked up from BestBuy today. So it seems the 3.3v ground pins on a SATA HDD truly are pointless, as mine are all physically melted away but it spun right up the first try. Now I'm kinda wondering if I could have saved my DVD-writer. It was burned even worse so I just tossed it, but I assume it's less finicky than an HDD.

    I feel he's about the same as before?

    I'm apparently WAY behind but----Zaalbarr? WTF? I assume because tooling costs are almost nil and he's literally a repaint? Because pretty much every other party member is WAY more important and fleshed-out and deserves a 6in figure 10x more. (Now, if it was a two-pack with Mission, then it'd be good)
  17. David Hingtgen
    Gah! Some things should remain in 2D... (no, I didn't watch the trailer---I feel the thumbnail is enough)

    Repaired (I won't call it new, or really even upgraded, even if core parts are better than they were) PC is working. Actually booted into Windows with less drama than I expected. Sadly, I either dreamed my last backup or something, as my main backup is both months older than I recall, and less complete than I recall. Original boot SSD seems fine, I was worried based on the HDD and DVD. So now my question is---that SSD is 6 years old now. Should I replace it soon, just in case? It's a Samsung Evo 850.

    GE, 3 streams----are we seeing a new version of the YF120's variable bypass system? Or maybe more akin to the J58 turbo vs ramjet modes?

    Is that basically Beach Head, in pure black and a new head?

    Seems odd to require a GPU just to display boot text, but...
  22. David Hingtgen
    Expecting new RAM and CPU today, to breadboard repaired system. AMD/GPU question: Assuming Ryzen 3600, and B450 mobo----do I need to attach GPU just for basic BIOS/boot tests? Does it have NO ability to output ANYTHING to the monitor direct from mobo like most Intel ones? (mobo does have an HDMI port, but it says it only works if you're using a CPU w/integrated graphics----whereas my old Intel stuff can at least do 640x480 "raw", which is sufficient for testing)

    Souvenirs:

    First air show since before COVID: (F-22 and Blue Angel pics are on my other camera) It's been a LONG time since I saw an F-15C at all, and I think the first time EVER up close. (have only been close to A's and E's)
  25. David Hingtgen
    New boot will be Nvme M.2. New storage will likely be cheapest Samsung 2.5" I can find.
