    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    If they do release a DX YF-21, I wonder if they'll start with the Wright Immelmann's VF-22 from Delta? It would follow in line with the DX 19's release first as the Frontier-era VF-19 followed by the YF prototype version.

    https://www.playstation.com/en-us/explore/playstation-classic/ No USB AC adapter included. Requires 5V, 1.0A adapter. Annoying, but not too much so. I wonder why this is becoming a common thing, though. First the New 3DS/2DS, then the SNES Mini, then this...

    I thought this already came out?

    I'll be honest, I never really liked P2 all that much. Aside from that cool opening shot where it pans from the forest to suburbs, I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy it very much. Something about it felt way... cheaper... than the first one. The Predator looked sillier, running around barreling through bedrooms and the like. That said, I'm feeling the need to get the trilogy blu-ray and rewatch them again, so maybe I'll like it better on another go-around.

    I really hope they release that AC5 as a standalone release. Is it an HD remaster? I certainly hope so, but I'll be fine with it just being a PS2 Classic as well. Remaster/PS2 Classic the other two games as well and you can have even more of my money, Namco. A note: Preordering the PS4 digital version also gets you a dynamic theme that won't be included on the boxed copy and presumably won't be available post-launch. Really hoping this isn't the case. EDIT: Dualshockers says there is also a new trailer. Checking it now, dunno if true. (EDIT: Seems it's just one of the earlier trailers in Japanese.) EDIT 2: Gematsu article with a better summary of preorder bonuses et al: https://gematsu.com/2018/09/ace-combat-7-skies-unknown-pre-order-bonuses-season-pass-and-japanese-limited-edition-announced In the comments there's confusion as to whether it is indeed simply the PS2 version running off the emulator (ie a PS2 Classic) or a proper HD remaster.

    Man, I don't know what you folks saw. I had a frickin' blast. It wasn't until I saw this movie that I realized I'd forgotten what a good, balls to the walls, R-rated bloodbath looked like. Both Predators (I don't think that's a spoiler because... c'mon.) had amazingly visceral moments. The one kill shown in the trailer where one of them repeatedly guts a poor mook was what won me over, and it continues to be one of my favorite moments of the movie. How it's so effortless for the Predator, how brutal it is... Mwah. Excellente. I think the movie could have, starting with the same premise, been a very different movie simply by changing perspective to that of the first Predator as it lands on Earth. Anyway, that's that. One hell of a fun movie. I didn't get that sense at all. Some of the quips are certainly for comedic effect, but/and a lot of it was character-driven, a way for one character or another to assert themselves in a situation that's way, WAY beyond their control. The MCU has a tendency to overdo it, giving characters one-liners that don't necessarily match the tone of the scene/movie or the character uttering them (ie a lot of Ultron's dialogue in Avengers 2 or specifically Black Widow muttering, "That was gross," after what's-her-face gets dragged up into a passing... grinder... vehicle... thing in Avengers 3.). Here, though, the entire movie is irreverent. Everything is larger than life, from the characters - even the kid - to the story to the action. What's more, almost everyone harbors some measure of distrust of each other. Their "quips" are often combative, competitive, hyper-testosterone'd just like the original movie. I never lost track of the "mood" of a scene just because a character cracks a joke or two or ten.

    You wanna talk about bells and whistles: Imagine THAT fully transformable. (Source: Club-M 1/48 Ultimate Detail VF-1S Strike Valkyrie modeled by Kallamity, http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/42575-club-m-148-ultimate-detail-strike-valkyrie/)

    Nah man. I learned my lesson last time about getting prematurely excited for anything having to do with this show. Nope, no thank you, I'll wait 'til the reviews are in.
  13. kajnrig
    Me, I'm downvoting for the spoiler. Haven't seen it yet, was going to see it today, so thanks for that.
  14. kajnrig
    Hm... Is that what the actual missiles look like when launched? Or are they only partially molded? I can understand why you wouldn't bother scratchbuilding the missing sections if they are incomplete. That would be such a pain. Also, I meant to ask earlier, but are you planning on diffusing and/or dimming the light in the head? It looks very bright coming out of the head, and drowns out any other details in the area. Also also, I forgot if you were adding LEDs to the thrusters/exhaust. Yes/No?

    I'll tell you when I get to it, but I decided to go through the last two episodes of season 4 first, just to get my bearings straight. Within the first minute of "Time's Arrow" I X'd out of there right quick. "Nope," I said to myself. "Nope, nope, noooope. I'm not in the right mood for this, frakk it, noooope."

    I'm glad I wasn't imagining things.

    Speaking of, they replaced the dancing 171 with a dancing Siegfried, and the result is... Well, to a general audience I'm sure it looks fine, but if you know how the 31's back looks, with the wings protruding out and all, the maneuvers it pulls off look awkward to say the least. The 171 has a nice compact backside, you can easily see it pulling off a power slide without bumping into anything. The 31? Eh... I have half a mind to revisit that scene, see if they didn't pull off some anime magic.

    Dunno if this is against the rules (preemptive apology if it is, mods), but this is an example of the bad footage splicing I was talking about. I did not do this myself, this is taken straight from the movie. There's nothing spoilery in the gif, but I'll go ahead and spoiler it anyway for safety's sake.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Robotech Battlecry (either the manual, the game, or some supporting material) explains that the "charged" sniper round is the electric motor in the gun overcharging and firing three rounds in such quick succession that only a single gunshot is heard; this causes significant strain on the gunpod, explaining the instant overheating in-game.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    End of the month. I think those who ordered from NY were told it's 9/24.

    I still need to get on with season 4. Season 3 was the one that ended with right? Or if that WAS season 4, then I guess I'm completely on track. EDIT: Never mind, that trailer reminded me what happened in season 4, completely forgot about that season (even though it was a good season, they're all good seasons).

    This doesn't have to do with Delta, but I chanced upon the 1/72 Tornado Messiah in stock at HLJ for the first time in a long time. Seems Bandai did another run of it recently; other sites are selling it again as well. I'll probably get another one if it's still available in a couple weeks, but 'til then, FYI for anyone who wants it. https://hlj.com/product/BAN965305 https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-1237 (Used one also available): https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-1237-R https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10123518

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    I'd also like to know where. Both of mine are 24k even before shipping.

    Forgive the double post. Spoiler tags were not very cooperative. Phew. And now, responses! Macross Plus doesn't shy away from messy endings. No one in the cast gets a happily ever after or the meting out of just punishment. Lucy ends the story hurting over isamu yet still pining for him; Millard faces the near certainty of a court martial that has yet to come (and never will, as far as the story is concerned); Margue gets the creation he dreamed of, and he might not mind at all that it hoists him by his own petard; and so on. The music of Plus is phenomenal, but it isn't something I'd like to listen to casually. It's not easily digestible like DYRL/Frontier/7. I have to actively listen to it, and that means preparing myself for it beforehand. I remember this came up as a theory in either the short questions or one of the episode threads. I like to think that's not the case, and that Sharon is entirely synthetic and/or otherwise divorced from the Protoculture and Fold Space shenanigans that inform the rest of the franchise. I can't quite articulate why I prefer this, but it has something to do with wanting to maintain an air of fascination but also danger around her. She's like other idols, but she's also not. Like... a mirror set just slightly askew to reality. That reminds me: I don't know if the previous members of Walkure showed up for very long in the show, but in the movie they make up a good portion of the flashback runtime, and to its credit, Gekijou no Walkure makes me want to get to know THOSE characters as well. That's the perennial issue plaguing Delta, I suppose. It sparks interest in every single one of its characters, but can never stoke those flames. I don't know if using Gundam 00 as a favorable comparison is the best tactic, but you do you, I suppose... No. But yes. but no tho Oh, I dunno about that... I think it's pretty dull even just on its own merits...
