    Well the thing is, I find Luminara almost everywere--and that's 2 waves newer according to Rebelscum, so I worry that everywhere has already "gone through" the Ahsoka wave and will only be restocking with newer figs.

    Do I *really* need to make a post about what I'd like a translation-copy of?
  3. David Hingtgen
    I'd pay cash for a drawing of that. Seriously. (PM me if you're willing)

    I freely admit I like valks with boobs. I'd rather Yamato make a VF-11MAXL' than just about anything else. And of course, combining "Mylene" with "valks with boobs" with "M7 outfits" gets you this: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=770977

    Slipped off the front page, so I'm bumping it.

    Zartan looks good, but I still want a readily-available classic Dusty for my "desert" Joes first. Also want a Cover Girl that doesn't totally suck. There's still a lot of "missing from 25th" things I want rather than more RoC/Resolute rehashes of the same basic dozen characters.

    I only just now realized that I actually need the spacesuit Ahsoka fig---but I haven't found one in the 48 hours I've been looking---but I know I saw it recently enough that there SHOULD still be some out there among the many Admiral Pegwarmers. Is that Ahsoka still readily available? I don't really want to drive to the next town on Black Friday to figure hunt at various super-crowded stores for nothing. I don't want to order one and "risk random bad QC", as that fig has pretty complex paint apps on the face, and I really want a nicely-painted one.

    Yes, many outfits in M7 suck, especially Milia's mayoral one.
  9. David Hingtgen
    Milia in a flightsuit in M7 looks better than Milia in a flightsuit in SDF:M though. (seriously, Macross should put as many chicks as possible in flightsuits--they always look good---even Sheryl did it a few times)

    They should have invited Grace to the pizza party. Excellent place to use her wrist-tentacle-things.

    I suspect the fact that everyone knew it was going to be a re-hash with recycled footage dampened the numbers a bit.
  12. David Hingtgen
    That makes me ask: 1. How old are the "old farts" here? (since most of the long-term members here are all roughly the same age) 2. How old are you?

    While Pollyscale is my fave paint, I don't like any of their clears.
  14. David Hingtgen
    It's kinda like a Deathscythe Hell Custom, but more ludicrously caped. And white.

    If nothing else, the Xenosaga series had some amazing boss battle themes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCTvSX4d-ck I still don't how to pronounce Metempsychosis; Ω Res Novae was at least mentioned in-game many times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAF3k7ak55U (it doesn't get *really* cool until 2 mins in)

    LED backlighting seems nice, but I don't see a massive jump--it's still not implemented as well as it should be. Should basically give an LED to each pixel. THEN it'd be impressive as heck. OLED is still "5 years away"--which is what they said 5 years ago, and I think 10 years a go...

    What I'd really like is a brushable flat coat. Future brushes great--but I rarely have need for a gloss coat.
  18. David Hingtgen
    A "knock less glossy" is a far cry from 'flat'. I could get a sort of satiny finish, but let me know if you can get a FLAT finish from Future. (I was mainly using Tamiya flat base in my experiments, as it's what's listed in Swanny's Future guide)
  19. David Hingtgen
    I think the semi-gloss screens are the best compromise. Really gloss=reflections, but really flat=any light it picks up gets spread over a large area of the screen. Screen "shine" was a pretty big consideration when I picked up mine. (I don't like the glossy-black Samsung remotes either, but it's remarkably fingerprint-free---deals with them 10x better than a PS3 does) (Samsung changes their screen glossiness a lot lately--I think I got one of the last models with the "good" type of screen---even other models from that year had the newer-but-worse type)

    I'll try to recall/revisit some this week and see if I can find a "perfect example". Still, about the whole "at least something happens/character growth/small plot point" every ep comment--yes, but the rate is absymal. Many eps seem to be 50% reycled footage, with about 1 sentence of new plot or character growth. You could chop out groups of episodes, take the 90 secs of "important" stuff from them all, and make 1 good ep out of the bits. It is darn near "annoying" to watch a half-hour ep to only get a moment of "new" stuff about a character or the plot.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Yes, Future brushes better than anything else on the planet--but it's not just "gloss-like" it is the glossiest gloss there is. New cars aren't as shiny as a nice coat of Future. Also, in my experience, "flattening" Future doesn't work well. You can cover it with flat coats, but mixing in a flattening agent to try to make it dry flat either makes it turn white or splotchy. (I tried many ratios, none worked well or consistently)
  22. David Hingtgen
    Use a mix of radome tan and white, but use more white---and add a bit of yellow IMHO.
  23. David Hingtgen
    I posted that about a dozen posts ago.
  24. David Hingtgen
    It's matte? Hasn't looked that way in the pics. (I'm still on the hunt for one--seems to have been found in quantity in every city in the state but mine)
  25. David Hingtgen
    I kinda saw something along those lines in one of the posts linked above. You know, I actually prefer the flightsuit...
