  1. Nice Sega Master System blaster-thanks for the pics, no3Ljm, JJ looks good.
  2. Sweet, thanks! It looks quite sharp, and might be similar in size to the PLUM kit.
  3. Yeah, I was curious about them, it just may save me from putting together this plastic model I have of the R-9. Got any pics?
  4. For that price, I want articulated features (at least folding wings), an APC, and maybe some Space Marine figurines (or an Alien Queen stowaway). Otherwise, it's a big pass for me.
  5. Love it. I didn't play for a while until I heard about more levels and ships were added. I love the Suikoden games but Konami's remaster deserves more than just cleaned up character portraits. I guess I shouldn't be surprised after seeing what Konami has become.
  6. Watching the gameplay footage for the FM2 remake makes me thankful they sped up the combat. In the original, the wanzers would float/dance around each other for quite a while before performing an action. This would consequently make each round trudge on forever, it was worse than Ring of Red. That combined with reading an online script to translate all the Japanese dialog added up to a not so fun way to play the original FM2, so I gave it up.
  7. FM5 was the pinnacle of the series imho, I hope the remakes go that far. Gameplay for FM Borderscape looks promising:
  8. Gameplay footage of the FM2 remake: It sounds like FM3 will also get the remake treatment as well, but there's no video or screenshots of that project yet.
  9. Deedlit's metrovania game gets a big recommend from me to anyone who loves Symphony of the Night and Lodoss War. The music is tops in that game. I'm still working on getting 100% completion on it, but R-Type Final 2 is taking my gaming time.
  10. They look great together- makes me wish for a casual, unarmored figma of Priss.
  11. If I could, I would make an in-scale dakimakura of Arcee for him. The paint scheme is kinda bland for alt mode, it just looks like a Japanese patrol vehicle. I'd prefer something more bombastic for Drift. Nevertheless, I'm still getting one; I quite like the design choice.
  12. I ordered some add on parts from Brickdesigners not too long ago. I couldn't pass up their printed parts for an Abrams tank, especially when they offer to print your tank name on the main cannon barrel 😆. While designed for a Brickmania designed tank, I figure the printed pieces would also work my Armorbrick Abrams: I also bought a custom tanker minifig for it from Brickmania: The CIP panels are nicely printed:
  13. I got the retro card backed 6" figures of Gung Ho, Lady Jaye, Baroness, and Destro today from Walmart. If I was really into getting my toys in MOC condition, I would be pissed because Walmart just used soft baggie pouches. Consequently, two of the figures had torn card and/or bent card tops. They all look great though. So great, in fact, that it spurred me on in backing the HISS to get retro Cobra Commander. Nostalgia definitely twisted my arm, but it didn't have to twist too hard.
  14. I was looking forward to Sol as well, but they're using the design from Strive instead of Xrd where he had more voluminous hair and a wilder look. I'm kinda underwhelmed by their Mai from that one pic. I need to see more of her to make a good judgement, but for now her sculpt and facial expression looks bland. Overall though, Storm seems to improving their female sculpts.
  15. Thanks, purchases like this require a green light from my other half and I'm glad she gave her approval. It just makes wonder what she plans to buy for herself in return... Anyways, the A-10 turned out great, and I only have a few very minor tweaks in mind, including a new head for the pilot.
  16. Almost done, but building the rear portion of the engines proved to be too finnicky for my sons. All those curved slope pieces are preciously mounted: The pilot minifig, while magnificently printed, has a bland expression on its face: After mounting the engines, we attached the vertical stabs, and voila: LEGO goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTT!!
  17. 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.
