  1. The custom printing and minifigs do add to the cost but I reckon a big reason why the kits get pricey is because they don't have a factory to make their own pieces, so they have to get pieces by buying LEGO kits on their own. To their credit, the pieces they sort out for their own kits look brand new with no blemishes or scratches. All the pieces I've encountered for the A-10 so far look to be all genuine LEGO brand parts. For the record, I don't regularly drop a G on LEGO kits, but my love for the A-10 knows no bounds.
  2. Yes, they do. However, do check their Instagram page too. Teasers of upcoming kits are posted there, and they share much more information in the comments section than their actual website. It's where I learned their B-2 costs 5k 😬.
  3. For now it looks like they are out of stock of any of their A-10 kits. But I think chances are good it'll make a comeback seeing how they made multiple versions of their F-18 design. At the very least, they'll most likely sell the instructions as they did with the F-18. If they make another A-10 kit, it won't be from any of the previous squadrons depicted. Apparently they match the number of kits they produce to the actual number of planes the squadron has.
  4. After building the upper half of the fuselage, my boys needed help securing it without breaking anything: The body tapers nicely from the front to the rear through some unorthodox building techniques-very cool!
  5. He had some legendary roles, RIP Mr. Caan.
  6. My boys and I haven't had much time to build the A-10 ever since our vacation ended, but we did get the flight stand, munitions, and part of the tail done: The printed detail on this thing is quite extraordinary.
  7. From Tag Hobby: From the translation: "As the main exhibition of this special exhibition, a completely newly produced Macross ship's automatic transformation robot with a diameter of about 700 mm will be exhibited. By using the robot control system "V-Sido" of Asratec Co., Ltd., the space is produced with the Macross ship body that can be automatically deformed and the staging image that matches the deformation. ● Planning and supervision: Hidetaka Tenjin ● System production: Wataru Yoshizaki (Asratec Co., Ltd.)"
  8. Raider X showing off it's teeth:
  9. Looks rad, but I'll have to pass. I'll be in trouble if a MOBAT is ever made though.
  10. Once they built the other wing, my boys needed help getting all the big pieces together: Once both wings were reinforced, the whole assembly felt solid:
  11. Yup, that should lead you to BRICKVETERAN. Do check out their Instagram, I get more news about their projects there than their actual website. Their WWII planes look great, I'm tempted to get their Tuskegee Mustang. We got a good chunk of one of the wings done today: It's impressive how a hinge plate is used to attain the shape at the rear of the wing.
  12. Sure, here's what the boys have done so far: They're having a hard time with some of the isometric views in the instructions but they're doing good with minimal help from me.
  13. Good review M'Kyuun, I was going to build mine with my kids while we are away on vacation, but another kit arrived at the same time: Surprisingly, they chose this to build over Prime. I am only too happy to oblige 😊
  14. It also requires the pilot's mother's soul to function.
  15. Berserk will continue.
  16. Easy, they passed the controller around while playing Ace Combat's canyon run missions. 😄 I was excited to see the Hind too, that was menacing model of one. I'm glad I caught this film on the big screen, nice rumbling sound, spectacular visuals, and seeing a mature Jennifer Connely all added up to a great time at the movies for me.
  17. Big Planes never ceases to amaze:
  18. Sweet, Jazz is finally arriving in Masterpiece packaging. 😑 Unless it's a hint as a future MP release...nah!
  19. An official one? My gut says no, but I'm positive there will be a few MOC designs in the near future.
  20. Glad it worked out, I know I never would've found that piece had it not been for another AFOL who gave me the tip. Just placed a order for Optimus, it's gonna be fun figuring out how to put knee joints on it.
  21. How about something like this instead? Lego ID #30106 I used it as the sensor ball found at the very front of AH-1Z gunships not too long ago.
