    Hmmn, you're the second person recently to report the "200" error for uploading photos:
  2. David Hingtgen
    Ok, further clarification----as in mass mass release (Target/Walmart)?

    Mine is angel-wings. Though ironically I have yet to remove a single piece of "wing" from the sprues. But every single armor piece is just janky... And it's the first "Wing Zero twin buster rifle" I've ever had, that will separate if you look at it funny, with wiggly bits. Considering the two versions should share most "body" parts, how was the "proto" version changed to be better? I'll have to wait and see how the new MG is, before deciding between it, and the Super Nova (Moxin?) one, for my "best Wing Zero EW".

    Is there anything showing exactly where all the cameras on the YF-21 are? Just rewatched ep 1 of M+ again, and it's clear from some of the viewing-angles that Guld gets, that there are cameras in the tailfins, and maybe other places. Definitely more than "just the ones around the nosecone".

    Ok, am I nuts, or is HiRM Wing Zero just a POS? I had it pre-ordered, got it day 1, started it, put it away for a LONG while, started again, stopped, and am starting again. It's mostly done now, except for the wings and lower torso. But it just keeps pissing me off. Every single piece is "iffy". *Nothing* really snaps/clicks into place. I'm gluing everything. But the plastic is either so rock-hard, or so rubbery, that even glue really doesn't want to keep it together--I'm SUPERgluing parts of it now. And even when glued, there's still gaps---are they INTENDING to have "gaps to simulate actual panel-gaps between armor plates" or is it just bad fit/design? If I didn't know better I'd think it was a KO. Plus, the rock-hard plastic, even under-gated, makes nub marks and slices guaranteed. (and the rubbery plastic is just terrible in every way). I'm seriously considering just throwing it away, unfinished, and moving on to like my next HG kit. (but it cost so much $...)

    Good, modern MG's are better than most PG's. At this point, the only thing most PG's have going for them is raw size. Of course there's exceptions, but at this point---I would generally ignore "PG" vs "MG" for most kits, and simply go by "most recent release date". That will generally be the best version of it.
  7. David Hingtgen
    Are these going to be mass-release, or specialty/online only?
  8. David Hingtgen
    It'll actually be the Mirror-Universe version from Enterprise, just to mess with us... (includes little Zefram Cochrane figure with shotgun)

    I'll assume they didn't add in the "missing" tabs to lock the turret down in fighter mode? There's slots molded in the legs, but no corresponding tabs on the turret underside. I've always been convinced they "forgot" to add in the tabs, since the turret "popping up and out a bit if you look at it funny" in fighter mode has always been an issue, along with the shield being forced out of position by the pressure. But if there was a set of turret-tabs to lock into those otherwise-pointless leg slots, then the whole turret/leg/shield area would be rock-solid.

    Ratcheting engine pods? Oh man... Anyways---I hope they improved the paint adhesion on the feet! I know it was an issue with Ozma's, maybe other -29's as well? (and actually, my reissue renewal Alto is starting to have issues there, too..)
  11. David Hingtgen
    I think AMT/Ertl's Klingon Bird of Prey was among their best kits. Watch the wing joint (several options provided), but other than that it's pretty nice.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Ok, 9 years, that's a pretty big gap to quote a post, but hey, it is a nice-looking 'vark, with the slats out and everything. (and even has the glove opened up)
  13. David Hingtgen
    More battroid dancing action? That would have required them to transform out of fighter mode more than once or twice after the first episode...
  14. David Hingtgen
    DHL is both ridiculously expensive, and ridiculously fast. Sometimes it's like they just have a courier hop on board the next flight out, carry it through customs, then bring it to you...
  15. David Hingtgen
    That is, sadly, among the least-noteworthy/odd things to happen this year...
  16. David Hingtgen
    Mike--you commented on Tentankil's headsculpt, but said nothing about his teeny-tiny eyes? I still wonder if it's just me, or what, since nobody at TFW has ever mentioned it either (besides myself). Am I missing something, or is Tentakil having eyes like 1/4 the size of any other character just not an issue?
  17. David Hingtgen
    That's a disservice to Rei, I think most of her clones floating in the tank had more personality than Reina...
  18. David Hingtgen
    Zaxxon is what caught my eye. That may have been the first video game I ever played.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Even though Wing Zero w/angel wings is my fave Gundam, even I think it's kinda pointless to release ANOTHER 1/100 so soon after the HiRM. Seriously, give me an MG Delta. Not Delta Plus, Delta Kai, or Hyaku Shiki, just Delta. I want gold, and I want it to transform.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Why on earth would they make the Osprey orange and black? Or is it not actually an Osprey, and just very Osprey-esque?
  21. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, his gun mode is by the most G1 of this set's gun-modes.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Wait, so is this an all new, MG 2.0 of Wing Zero Custom?
  23. David Hingtgen
    Any links for that? I read a very long article about one of the incidents, but don't recall seeing anything about post-accident interviews about touchscreens.
  24. David Hingtgen
    I'd say "fuzzy", but yeah---working with ABS sucks. Doesn't sand nicely, doesn't glue nicely. It'll paint nicely, but really likes its "shape/structure" left alone.
  25. David Hingtgen
    I have so many hobbies I pretty much have to cycle through them. Like, all my money/time/forum-browsing will be focused on one for a few weeks/months, then switch to one of the others. Eventually cycling back to see "all the new stuff I missed while I was enjoying my other ones".
