    Wouldn't this belong in the Anime/Sci-Fi section? I don't remember this in Macross... Maybe it's time for another rewatch.

    The development of LA Noire was notoriously strenuous. The game's director was damn near a slave driver, demanding long hours of his staff and making unreasonable demands of the game designers. The game is set in a sandbox like GTA, but is an entirely linear story-driven experience. The final product is good, but not good enough to reflect or justify all the trouble that went into it. I believe the director has largely been ostracized from the gaming community because of his treatment of his staff.

    Probably to serve as a traditional gunpod when necessary. A redundancy feature, like the continued existence of a tow bar.

    Quantum fold cutters, using fold quartz to pull fold space into a fixed high-energy blade shape.

    Oh, Reina was fine. And I mean, leveling that criticism at her is kind of like calling one saltine cracker out of a package dry and bland. I like that she's grabbed Chuck's glasses to play around with while they're still attached to him. And the fact that he's totally comfortable with it is cute, too. I'm not surprised, though I don't see her being able to be legit polyamorous with them, ie sustaining a meaningful romantic relationship with both of them. And I would seriously hope - and I've said this before, I know, but I still stand by it - that she doesn't end up with Hayate at all, at least not with the specter of Freyja hanging over whatever relationship they might have. Trust me, no one wants to switch up the pairings more than I do (and I wouldn't even want to thrust her upon Messer because the creep factor surrounding her is just... unclean), but just from appearances, they look like the mom and dad of the group. No, you know the writers were super angling for that whole "broody a-hole with a heart of gold who actually fights tooth and nail to protect the woman he loves and the girl who draws out his emotions and saves him through the power of love" BS. Because that's "romantic." And judging by all the fan art of these two, they succeeded. frakk that. I still get irrationally angry that they just completely dropped the Kaname/Arad subplot (that is to say, not more so than I get about all the other interesting story threads they dropped), because THAT one actually had some teeth and looked to be going somewhere. Did something actually come of that? I seem to remember her crying after his death, with the implication being that they had actually had something going on off-screen.

    If anyone is still looking for Ba kits, I came across this. I've bought from them before, they're decent if a bit unspectacular. http://banzaihobby.com/plastic-models/character-anime/hasegawa/1-72-sv-262ba-draken-iii-bogue-herman-custom-macross-delta

    Not gonna lie, I'm kinda digging the romantic implications here... Putting aside the age difference that otherwise creeps the pairing out of existence, Reina and Chuck don't look bad together. Mirage looks like she's about to embark on a wild menage-a-trois binge with both Hayate and Freyja AND Makina and Reina. And Arad and Mikumo top it off as the "mature" pairing of the group. I'll just pretend that final couple doesn't exist. (Which is easy to do because it doesn't OHHHHHH)

    Man, how do people keep finding such blowout deals on Gunpla... I can never just go to my BnN and find an MG (much less one I want) for 50% off. I'm so jealous lol. How much did they come out to total?

    Dear god, no. Combat knives are way cooler.

    I knew I could count on you guys. That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

    Does anyone have any information about this Asuka Langley figure? The Ebay info I could find says: - 1/6 scale - PVC? - made by Hobby Japan(? I thought they were a magazine...) - My search terms had to include "Evangelion Q" for this figure to even show up in the results - also Asuka Shikinami Langley, not Soryu - 2007? - WonFes exclusive? EDIT: But I can't confirm any of that info.

    Is that the LED sword from Kotobukiya?

    Honestly, the majority of the itasha/Deculture Valks aren't to my liking. The ones that are, though, look really good.

    Movie stars Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen (aka Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch) as a Fish and Wildlife tracker and rookie FBI agent, respectively, who team up to solve a murder on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. I saw it last week, and just wanted to say that it's the first movie of the summer that I've left feeling satisfied and thinking, "Yep. That was just an all-around good, well-made movie." You should see it. You'd probably enjoy it.

    A Deculture or anniversary scheme VF-25 to celebrate the decade anniversary and 35th anniversary of the franchise wouldn't be the worst idea...

    So I'm looking up reference pictures (I finally know what I want to do with my YF-29!), and during the final cast shot at the end of The Wings of Goodbye, there are some seemingly random characters. Anyone know if they have names?

    Can you think of another straight recolor other than Trans-Am Mode? Extra parts: Astraea, Astraea Type F, Avalanche, Avalanche Dash... Dare we imagine a 1/60 GN Arms Type E? IIRC, the MGs of these respective kits didn't share frames at all, right? And then the Quanta reused parts of the 00 frame... Did it reuse Exia parts, too? What about the RGs? I want to say that all three shared a common frame, but I've only ever built the Quanta and haven't paid much attention to them... EDIT: NEVER MIND IT'S A PHOTOSHOP I GOT DUPED.

    Hasegawa VF-31

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    And actually, Counting the Supers and such, there are already a bunch of versions of the VF-25. In only a few years, too. - VF-25F/S - Super VF-25F/S - VF-25G w/ sound boosters - Super VF-25G - RVF-25 - Super RVF-25 ...but anyway, now we're getting off track. Has anyone shipped their kits yet, or are you waiting for September/October releases like I am? EDIT: Notice how the box art and production photos are different? It's just a change in color palette and lighting, for sure, but I do like the darker tones of the box art scheme. Maybe I'll do one in that, one in the recommended colors.

    Continuing the food trend, I see. Om nom nom.

    RE: above post about Barnes and Noble coupon, there's also the Justice and Providence Gundams for $44 shipped apiece after the coupon. Not bad prices at all. And if you want multiple kits, you might be able to reuse the coupon in quick succession. I was able to do so last time I bought kits from BnN, so best of luck. Edit: NEVER MIND IT'S A PHOTOSHOP I GOT DUPED.

    You're doing great, Shawn. It's much appreciated. A couple bugs: 1) Can't login on mobile, says my browser (Android, Chrome) doesn't support cookies. I've been able to log in before. 2) I'm getting a buzzing sound whenever scrolling the forum. Other tabs/websites have no problem, just this board. It sounds a little bit like coil whine, just lower-pitched, and again, it only happens when I scroll (either with the scroll wheel or with the arrows) and only on this forum. Not sure if that second is something to do with the board, though. I'm of half a mind that it's just my monitor's speakers going after all these years (I think... 10+ years now?).

    Oops, looks like you're right. I wasn't taking a close look.

    The Mecha Colle kits give them different color striping as well. Bogue = pink Kasim = orange Hermann = gray/silver Theo = light blue Xao = light blue All have different emblems, including Theo and Xao to distinguish the two. The Hasegawa kit for the sole SV-262Ba includes emblems for both Hermann and Bogue's VFs, but only the pink striping of Bogue's machine. So... yeah, I suppose they could re-issue the kit with different decal sheets, if that's the justification they need.

    I'd love to see what sales figures are for Hasegawa's Delta kits. Their "cannon fodder" kits of both the VF-31 and SV-262 seem to be more popular than their regular releases. The VF-31A and SV-262Ba were limited production runs, sure, but demand far exceeded supply, whereas the VF-31J and SV-262Hs didn't see the same level of bottleneck when they first came out. The SV-262Hs with Lil' Drakens is a LE kit as well, but is still in stock on HLJ. Maybe they should ramp up production of the -31A and -262Ba again?

    D'awww, kitty. Glad to know you and it are doing okay. You gonna adopt it? Or take it to a shelter soon as the flood (finally) recedes? Also, here's to hoping the delivery guys made it out alright, too.
