    I have two or three of those (they're roughly 1/200 scale). They're nice for what they are, but this bird definitely deserves a nice big-scale kit.

    IIRC, the extra wings have hardpoints for the various extra munitions. Also IIRC, the wings are designed for easy swapping, which has the side effect of making them prone to falling off. Someone who actually has one, feel free to correct me on this.

    Thanks for the spoiler. -__________- (not really it's pretty well known it gets beat and rebuilt, but still i thought that would happen later)

    Tangentially related video recommendation:

    ^ Speaks the godly truth. I'd almost literally give an arm and a leg for a nice 1/72 VF-171, transforming or not.

    I honestly thought it was him at first glance, and second, and third. It took a good while for my eyes to move from the facial expression to the hair color.

    Podtastic's statement was just kind of poorly thought-out all around, I think that's something we can all agree on. So... I was forgiving of the art for the most part... And I mean... It's fine. It's fiiiine. It's fine. They're fine. It's fine. It's fine. She'll be doing both, eventually.

    So... did I hear that right? You're selling these for $50 apiece? Wow, what a steal! I'll take two! But seriously, though, that MUST be at least $2k worth of variable fighters there. Jelly jelly.

    There's an effects part, too? Or is that something you added?

    Yeah, if you want to get more minute about the configuration of a computer, then the price premium tends to get to the point of no longer justifying it. At that point you may as well build it yourself. Fair enough. I myself had a bad AMD CPU for my first build (though to be fair, it was also my first overclocking attempt and to say I screwed that up would be a major understatement). It still hobbled along until I could eventually replace it with a 6600K, but I get the feeling.

    ^ Wow, totally forgot about that. You people have some sharp memories...

    A lot of the things a sound card can do, a USB Is this going to be solely a gaming PC? If not, I'd recommend going for a Ryzen 7 for the extra 2 cores. The gaming performance of the 2000 series chips don't lag very far behind their Intel equivalents (~5-10% performance dip) whereas their productivity is across the board significantly greater. If you're an audiophile, a sound card (which is fairly rare) isn't a bad investment, but neither is an external DAC/amp, and the latter combo is more versatile as well, since you're not restricted to a single audio source. Apparently, prebuilt PCs are fairly comparable to DIY projects nowadays (within reason, of course), so... it's up to you. If there's a Dell out there decked out the way you want it for a decent price, then have at it. The biggest thing you'll miss out on with a prebuilt PC, methinks, is aesthetics.

    When did a VF-9 show up?

    So my mother breaks her phone (Samsung Galaxy S6) yesterday by dropping it. I drop it off at a computer repair place because I can't so much as remove the backplate to get at the internals, give her mine (LG G3) to use for this afternoon. Thunderstorm comes in, she's out in the yard with a nephew grilling and when the downpour starts they make a mad dash inside. Later, I ask where my phone is, and she swears she had it in her sweater pocket. I call my phone and, sure enough, I hear the ringtone out in the darkness amongst the grass. It had taken an entire thunderstorm and was still totally functional. I rib my mom about managing to break two phones in two days, but I can tell she feels guilty about it because she tries a bit too hard to give me "advice" about drying it off. Aw, mom. It's okay, I got this. On a related note, I'm amazed this phone was able to survive all that without just frying itself. The Otterbox case it was in managed - somehow - to keep water away from the backplate, and the backplate itself managed to keep water out of the internals. And this phone isn't designed to be water resistant. You can take off that backplate with your fingers. Even the charging ports and other points of entry were remarkably watertight. I was blown away.

    Yeah, the episode itself is great, it's just the 1337 that made my eyes roll so far back in their sockets that I could see my brain synapses firing. Yes, yes, and yes. ...unless the kids make me.

    Here I was thinking the prodigal child was returning with another cover, but that was... random.

    It's a 1/144-scale model kit, and yes, it's the newest kit using the newest tooling and molds of the Zaku II. I think there may have been one or two more variants since its release, but this one I think includes everything that came with every Origin Zaku II kit before it. I don't think the variants that come after (if they've come out yet) are as complete as this one is, though they might include small little exclusive bits and pieces.

    I'll never love another meme as much as that one.

    I have a confession to make: I don't have and have never had any strong connection to G1 Transformers or the movie. My childhood trauma was the Zentraedi glassing Earth, not Prime giving the... All-Spark?... away.

    So this is late, but all the same:

    I know I still haven't. I really should fix that...

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I'm like 60% sure that the Super parts only ever came out as TWE items, meaning they would never have had them in stock.

    Does he have any familiarity with Marvel superheroes? If so, I think he'll like it. If he doesn't know much about the movies, he might ask some more questions than usual, but you can head this off at the pass by taking him out of school for a day and planting him in front of the TV for all ~20 movies. That's neither feasible nor healthy, you say? Well then, I don't know what else to tell you, get him with the program. Seriously, though, as long as he knows generally what leads into this movie - mainly he can recognize the main Avengers and Thanos - then I think he'll be fine. It's ultimately up to your discretion, though, obviously. Oh, bah humbug. Every generation needs their Transformers The Movie.
