    Yes, Airwolf had a real good dark vibe going for it. Too bad the show went down the drain when String's brother took over. Is that heliport right by the 101? I do the same damn thing when I drive by. That scene was excellent. Aside from the piloting, they did some pretty crazy stuff to get those shots. I think they even strapped cameramen outside a heli to film certain scenes. I also distinctly remember my uncle complaining how the streets were closed to film the city dogfight.

    Is Area88 still around? I loved his work.

    That's when you pit it against an evil laser-armed version of itself with a red two tone paint scheme. I gotta admit though, Airwolf had a sweet opening theme song.
  4. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Yup, that's the one I had. It has a foldable main rotor right? I used to make it fight my Dreadnoks.

    Which toy do you have? Is it the one by ORGANIC? The only toy I had was a huge one I got as a gift from a DOOLEY's in L.A. It was big enough to fit GI Joe figures and I loved it to bits.

    I had fun watching both Airwolf and Blue Thunder in their respective screens and I think both designs are great. It's like comparing an A-10 and a F-14, both are beautiful in their own ways. Dana Carvey looks so young in that show. What really blew me away was how it sounded, it just didn't like a typical RC heli.

    I see, I guess that explains the price.

    You mean like this one: Skywarp?

    Meh, just give the Hasbro version a good alcohol rub to remove the dumb "Sonic Boom" markings and it'll be just as good as this new one.

    "This ship is equipped with a forward-mounted, twenty-millimeter electric cannon. Its six barrels are capable of firing four thousand rounds of ammunition per minute. And that, gentlemen, is one hell of a sh!t-storm in anybody's language!" This movie was so awesome, and still is IMO. I was going through my old files when I found a forgotten treasure of sorts. I can't remember the website I found this on, but IIRC, the son of the man who supplied the original Gazelle helicopters for the movie uploaded a huge set of photos that his dad had taken on the set. These include the best reference pics I've found of Blue Thunder itself and also stills of the movie's helicopter dogfight in the streets of L.A. I thought the album is too cool to not share: Blue Thunder Flickr Album. And check this out, I know there are many out there but this is arguably the best scale RC model I've seen of the beast itself:

    Carl Macek would've begged to differ.

    AFAIK, the patlamp parts were the only add-ons released for the MG Ingram kits. A while back I wanted to search for super detailed 1/6 scale revolvers and shotguns that could replace the weapons found in the kits, but I never got around to it.

    I love how the Garland is getting much love, but some bad guy mechs would be sweet too. Like BD's suit from MZ 23 Pt II.

    Out of all the 3rd party news that hit these past two weeks, Planet X's WFC Grimlock got my utmost attention. I really liked Hasbro's version, but this one a must buy for me.
  15. Valkyrie Hunter D
    We can only hope. But most likely not. At 1/24 scale, Arcadia's Garland will be in scale with Yamato's Patlabor Ingrams and with countless die cast collectible cars.

    Nope, nothing like that. Apparently he was just lending a helping hand to a guy who needed it. I just watched part of this again now that the subtitles have been finished. I cringed and laughed. Mostly cringed.

    Those hip panels don't look like they're gonna slide anywhere, contrary to the rumors and his torso looks too long compared to his legs. Regardless, this Ironhide looks tremendously better than all the 3rd party stuff.
  18. Valkyrie Hunter D
    A screenshot at 1:23 pretty much made my day
  19. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I'm going to miss the 1/15 scale of the old Garlands, but with T-REX involved, this should be a much better toy.

    Found a Bryan Ferry cassette not too long ago. I had to reach real deep in the memory banks for these: Still love the second song.
  21. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Yes, Tengaman. Because justice only needs one hand. I frickin' love Japan.
  22. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I wonder if there's any truth to the rumor about the hip kibble being able to slide around to the rear.
  23. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I caved and went for the darker purple re-issue...mostly out of regret for missing out on him the first time.

    My gut says Deluxe figures might be too big for your Metroplex. Have you looked into getting World Smallest Transformers? WSTs are not too hard to find and KO's of them are cheap. KO's of the mini G1 combiners are easy to find too. I finally opened my Generations Jetfire. First thing I did was cut trim off the goofy rear stabilzers, those things looked real dumb imo. Alt mode makes a real jaunty looking jet, and I liked the aggressive profile the fast packs give. I don't like the rear landing gear; leader class needs more than just casters on his shins. I like bot made as well, despite the hollow spaces a lot of fans have pointed out. It's just the lack of wrist articulation that hurts the most. I could forgive that with Generations Roadbuster with it being a voyager but with a leader class Jetfire? Another gripe I have is with the ankles: instead of permanently having slanted ankles, how about just giving full ankle rockers? The production cost-cutting is quite prevalent with Jetfire, but I still don't regret getting one.

    This looks like a fun project. I don't know how much room you have to work with, but have you looked at R/C accessories like these: 1/144 scale RC products. Short of dismantling a BPX-01 or GX-64, they might have something you could use.
