    I just realized why the "Galaxy Adventures" Chewie design bugs me---no 'stache! Though ESB Chewie has best 'stache: http://b.fastcompany.net/multisite_files/fastcompany/poster/2015/09/3050826-poster-p-1-chewie-edm.jpg (too big to embed)

    I'm sorry, but Hasselhoff+the ultimate 80's supercar=
  3. David Hingtgen
    Did they weather it even MORE? Reminds me of a McFarlane "dunked in a bucket of black wash" figure at this point.

    Will do, once I get that case. My current setup mainly uses purple Corsair fans for light-color, (the ONLY purple LED I've ever found that looks good) but as they are simple "speed=brightness" fans, and I keep them low/quiet, it's pretty dim most of the time. I have learned some things from this build though: 1. Purple light over darker surfaces is nigh-invisible. Will have a LOT more white/silver parts inside next time. My second-to-last upgrade for this build was more RAM----and I bought white ones this time for that reason----and they look a whole lot more purple when lit, than my purple RAM does! 2. Purple objects only look purple with white light on them. I custom-painted a lot of parts purple (like RAM!), but you'd never know it. Thus, to have a "Decepticon purple glow" theme (think WfC/FoC)----it's very hard to do it in black, and you really need a decent amount of white.

    I would have liked the movie twice as much if that actually happened. (The "main" one with Anne Weying).

    Fad? No, it's a fulfillment of a decade-long attempt to get just the color I want. I don't use RGB to have "all the colors" or cycle through a unicorn rainbow show, I use it because it's friggin impossible to get "Decepticon purple" accents any other way. (Trust me, I've bought every "purple" LED in existence) Black/purple/silver or black/purple/red are my main combo/goals (With silver/red being very minor accents) That, and/or a TNG LCARS palette/look. (Cylon/KITT red sweeps also an option)

    Just finished S3 a bit ago---and yeah, liked it more than 2.

    My new build (coming when Win7 is totally killed off, support-wise) will reuse my 1080, as it's by far the newest (and most expensive) part of this build. Maybe re-use PSU. Everything else new though. Been leaning towards the Corsair Spec Omega RGB, in white, for the case:
  9. David Hingtgen
    Any truth to the rumor that they're leaning towards Melissa McCarthy as Ursula? Because I'd go see that if for no other reason than to see(hear?) her sing with Hailee's voice... (assuming they keep the core elements of the story)
  10. David Hingtgen
    I'm sure it'll come right after the white Sv-262...

    Likelihood of kits from the new Gundam Breaker Mobile game? I kinda want the purple Wing Gundam. (Honestly it's TOO purple though---needs an accent color---would need to kitbash with a regular HGAC Wing to look good).
  12. David Hingtgen
    How is RG Sinanju, under-gate-wise?
  13. David Hingtgen
    IIRC, KITT (season 1 at least) wasn't even the turbo version, just the base V8 most Trans Ams had.
  14. David Hingtgen
    I was expecting more like Countach vs Testarossa, but I'll take it. However--most of those aren't "cars". It really needs to be like KITT vs General Lee vs Ecto-1 vs Doc's Delorean...
  15. David Hingtgen
    I'd be surprised to see any other HiRM from G-Gundam. I think something like an HGBF Rain is more likely. (Honestly I'm surprised they haven't done Rain--she's got to be a more popular character than most of the ones they HAVE done as kits)
  16. David Hingtgen
    It'll become "the best Trek of all" by the end. Keep watching, if at all possible.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Yup, decal decal decal. Panel lines are sparse, and deep. Fit's not too bad, *by AMT standards*. (this is going by the previous 3-packs, not the newer 7-pack). They'd probably actually look better with the panel lines etc puttied in. Just dunk the whole ship in Mr Surfacer, sand smooth, spray light grey (some more bluish, some more greenish), then decal away.

    The Deagostini "Build the X-Wing" is going on right now. At least a year to go, it's still fairly early on.
  19. David Hingtgen
    I didn't know Deagostini was re-releasing the Falcon. Wonder if it'll have different (read:more) paint----the original is un-weathered, and looks very bland as-is. You usually only see pics of built-up ones that have had countless hours of additional painting/weathering done, not often do you see "out of the box" builds. One of the big things they changed/promoted for their X-Wing, is that the X-Wing is pre-weathered. (the X-Wing is gorgeous, asides from a fatal flaw---the wings have 2 pivots, a left and a right, at the sides of the fuselage---they do not properly "cross in the middle" and this affects their positioning/angles.

    It's bugged me to this day, that they rearranged the decals to make "NCC-1017" instead of "NCC-1710", which screwed up the whole registry number system, when there was a super-easy blatantly obvious alternative staring them in the face... (or, if the budget allowed---buy TWO kits, then you could make 1707, 1711, 1717, etc)
  21. David Hingtgen
    Pretty much---I read some more on that story this morning, and it seems they "went all serious" to the point of making the script robotic and lifeless. So yeah---uber-serious now, to the point of sounding odd, stilted, and "not the way real people talk". As in, sounds like a bad translation, due to how "awkward and literal" everything is now. Even if, technically, it's a "very accurate translation". It simply "doesn't work/flow at all well in English any more". PS---and yeah, apparently people liked the previous dub when it premiered. How dare people have fun and enjoy an OVA on the big screen, and not "be all serious all the time about a serious film". I wonder if people weren't supposed to cheer during EoE, when it's Asuka vs the mass production units? "Sorry, that's not supposed to be exciting, it's supposed to be a visual representation of the futility of life, against such severe odds---be meloncholy and morose, please, while viewing".
  22. David Hingtgen
    Hmmn, maybe I should just do my re-watch in raw Japanese, no subs, and just "try to remember what the original VHS subs said". (yes, I last watched it on tape)
  23. David Hingtgen
    It's just a (very good-looking) siege titan-class figure.
  24. David Hingtgen
    See, that's the only reason I'd buy it---but will wait until it's actually released to decide/confirmed. Violet/lavender+black=awesome scheme on any robot. But Bandai seems to abhor true purple, even when that's the suit's color---they always switch to "purple-ish blue" at the last second, on WAY too many releases. They'll SHOW purple, but almost never actually mold it...
  25. David Hingtgen
    Us airliner fans have already BEEN saying that. Twin-engine widebody? Twin-engine narrowbody? T-tailed regional jet? There's 100% of the current production. (asides from the last few 747-8 and A380's to trickle out...)
