  1. Yes; 1/200 I believe.
  2. Why don't they just do a movie starring both these guys? One could be the hero and the other could be the villain, or it could be a "buddy" film like Lethal Weapon was.
  3. I found this; I hope it helps at least in some fashion, as it's kind of cut off a bit on the end:
  4. Of course I jest, but don't call me Shirley.
  5. One thing though: if they want to do somethign "G1" that has very few representations, how about an accurate model of G1 Cybertron from the cartoon? I'm not talking about "Primus", just the actual planet on maybe a nice stand, with lights in it to recreate the weird subterranean glow from the series? They should have enough work from Floro Dery and others to determine the back half and other parts we don't usually see.
  6. That could be changed if we:
  7. Well, to each their own. I just think it makes a mess of things. Besides, I can now put the movie fare towards another model.
  8. Krypto is supposed to be intelligent in the comics; I don't think he would jump all over a wounded Kal-El like that. I had been ready to spend money on this one; now, I think I'll just wait for my local library to get it on DVD.
  9. Yeah; I just felt some series' did it far better than others. While I don't know how most felt about Gundam Wing (seemed a bit different), I liked it and also liked Zeta. Did not care for Iron-Bottomed Blooded Orphans, and TWfM was what pretty much did it for me on the franchise as a whole. I'll read whatever posts you and the rest of the gang have about GQLameDux, but I really cannot bring myself to watch it. Don't blame you in the least, man.
  10. Probably the same someone who has his pension hostage, right? And who survived the incident that sent the Ghost back to the drawing board.
  11. Hey; I just wanted to follow up and see how that worked out for your Miria 639 figure. How is that doing?
  12. That's how I lost my 1/48 VF-1S Roy; the thing pretty much crumbled to bits on me, even after keeping it out of direct light. On mine, it was the back piece where the tail attached, and then the upper arms. I never was able to afford to replace it (ended up crippled after buying it), and still cannot afford a replacement even some time after this happened. 😭
  13. Really don't care for this version of MP Prime. As previously mentioned, he looks like a new version of MP-10, and we've already had that flavor. What bothers me more is the overall aesthetic of this one: it feels off to me, and not in a "not G1-toy" version or "not cartoon" version type of way. To be frank: I'm tired of the "toon aesthetic" myself. It may sound stupid, but in a modification of the G1 "toy" version, I've actually been wondering about a back of the box art series where we have the very Japanese looking Optimus with the dark windshields, silver hands and such. Starscream, Megatron and all of them in that original piece look somewhat different, and rather unearthly with how their eyes are depicted and such. Anyways, that's just me I suppose. But this newest iteration ("MPG") isn't doing it for me. I also think other series could use some time in the spotlight. I love G1 and all, but fans of the other series really deserve an MP line for their faves.
  14. Sigh... this is why I gave up on Gundam after the final nail which was TWfM; the franchise as a whole has lost its' way.
  15. I remember when BBTS used to sell both NEW and also USED toys that you could buy cheaper. Now, everything is NEW, and is often at a premium.
  16. Seto, did they say what was flawed about the VF-3000? It does seem odd to me that IRL, they decided to go with the VF-11 rather than the 3000, so maybe that was an in-story justification? (Admittedly, I like the design for the VF-3000 better than the VBF-11).
  17. Painted this up for a friend: Started as a 14 inch Disney Store Boba Fett I found at a thrift store (saved it before a little brat could reduce it to bits!); rangefinder was already gone, so built a new one that swivels. Plastic molded cape broke off, so made a new one out of actual cloth (dyed and painted ERB colors), and overall used pics of screen-used ERB costumes to fill out the details. This now graces his office as of yesterday.
  18. I have that movie as well as Top Gun and Top Secret! RIP, Admiral Wingman.
  19. Or someone's weird leather purse O.o
  20. It looks cheap; major step down from previous offerings.
  21. Like it so far!! Maybe some heat discoloration around the gun barrel and whatever thrusters it might have?
  22. Agreed; perhaps this thread should be locked?
  23. Thanks; increased efficiency was something I was wondering about. I figured if software could throttle the system so the g's it produced did not exceed craft limits (If I understand correctly). This is a bit of research for the project. So a craft would not need both systems; am I correct? Yup.
