    1/55's revisited

    I think blemishes like those are pretty standard for the era. Processes were a lot more manual and tolerances were more varied. All things considered, it looks great.
  3. I agree with that logic, it seems like market forces need to prevail. With a huge drop in demand and the industry that caused the spike potentially dead, we should see prices get more reasonable next year. It's like the housing market, it will take six months, but a correction is the only thing that makes sense.

    Hi-Metal R

    What is that thing?
  5. I saw it. I don't know Witcher canon so I'm not offended by any deviations. My only complaint would be that the story was very linear with no surprises... Everything you suspected played out exactly as you suspected, and not just in the "of course, it's a prequel" sort of way. Still, it was fun with good action.
  6. KC has excellent customer service, they'll probably ship you a replacement part.
  7. So Murphy's law got me. The rtx 3050 arrived today but I decided I would try to update the vbios but first I checked for a bios update and there was one. So, bios updated (not vbios), I decided to run one last test and also upped the voltage to the card and wouldn't you know it, everything was stable. I played Trailmakers for 20 minutes without a single hang. I did the benchmark that always failed during the second effort four times. Not true stress testing yet but it seems I may have extended the life of my 1060 a bit longer. Now to decide if I should return the 3050...
  8. I certainly did everything I could with drivers but I did not update the vbios.. huh, I'll give that a go. This will be my first time doing that.
  9. So are they going to finish the story line or is this going to end without resolution and not get renewed for another season? Was it the end of episode 1 or the beginning of episode 2 where they're walking through a deserted village that starts shaking and it seems like something evil is going to happen... and then the next scene they're out of the village and they never refer to it again? It's the same episode where they're camping on the way to the only convenient way through the barrier and Dove, who has no horse or anything, walks off, and somehow passes the group without being seen, and walks through the magic barrier and doesn't think anything of it. I think there's even a gorge she miraculously gets around but it is not alluded to. The editing is just awful. Boorman is the only good character so far. Willow and his friend aren't awful... the rest make me cringe more often than not. The Graydon has a crush on Dove thing? They're on a quest to save her boyfriend with his fiance. If they wanted to make it clear he had something for her and make you wonder what would come of it, that could be fun... but instead it's all ham-fisted and awkward. Also, why give up on the humor and drama that could come from his being betrothed to Kit? That was immediately discarded. The Bonereavers suddenly being good guys? They joke about making people into hats but then it's like "nah, we're all family!" There could have been true humor AND drama if it was handled with the Bonereavers still being absolutely savage and the gang having to take advantage of the family tie to escape somehow. I'm going to watch Witcher Blood Origin for a bit which I hear has terrible reviews but I'm guessing it's going to feel a lot more polished than this.
  10. I really wanted to build a new computer this year but I'm still finishing up my house... gotta have priorities. My son did have an issue with his (actually my wife's) ITX computer that made me go get a graphics card. He loves Trailmakers but it would freeze all the time and the music would keep playing. The error log showed a directx issue where it was failing to generate a buffer. I ran Furmark and surprisingly, no issues after 30 minutes. I ran a benchmark test and usually around 10 minutes of I would get a "device hung" error. I ran a bunch of diagnostics and couldn't find any other obvious culprits. Tomorrow, I'm yanking the 1060 and swapping in a 3050 with fingers crossed. Gotta track down an 8 pin power cable though...

    This might be part of the inventory cleaning gray market releases.
  12. The SD valks are such a guilty pleasure, I enjoy them and wish they would release the GBP.
  13. He answered your question: they're okay, they seemed to know what it would take to make them 'good' but they detoured and never quite got there. GOF sold well because there's hunger in the community for Jetfire, not because the toy is good. I would put them behind the HMR toys but if you're a sticker for perfect transformation that includes the chest shield, then you would put them ahead of HMR.
  14. I am sticking with this purely for sentimental reasons because the show is not good. Sometimes it's quite bad.
  15. Agreed! Phenomenal work.
  16. The figure's foot sits on top of that foot? It's crazy there's enough room for that!
  17. I'd be interested.
  18. Doesn't seem like there was a solution.
  19. This was definitely discussed before but I can't recall the resolution.. if there was one.
  20. I believe based on the other thread that Micheal is being reissued as a super set, alto's PO as a super set came and went, and Bandai hasn't committed but is strongly implying more reissues.
  21. That's soon! In for a penny, in for a pound.

    Funny that two have numbers on them and the third has the swirl mark from where they sanded off the number from the mold. It would make sense that the other one is from when Bandai made brand new molds but that could go as far back as their TV VF-1S Hikaru Super Set reissue in 1990.
  23. I feel like a demo experimental plane might as well be plastered with all sorts of writing.
