    Hi all. I'm considering dipping my toes into the gaming PC scene for the first time in decades, mostly so I can play Escape From Tarkov. It's... dizzying, the amount of crap out there, and the outrageous names manufactures give even the PC cases they make, to say nothing of fans, RAM, and so forth. And let's not get started on the literal alphabet soup of motherboard types, GPUs, and the like. I don't want to waste my money on overkill, OR by undershooting what's needed. So I come to you, who know much. THIS much I have gathered: Tarkov has been described as CPU-intensive, requiring more from it than the GPU. I'd like to display 1440p res with High graphics settings or better at 60fps or better. I DON'T care about RGB, or a weird transparent case since it's going to be out of sight anyway. Budget is $700, not to exceed $900. I don't mind pieceing it together myself. Just please tell me what I need, what I don't, and whatever lessons you can teach me the easy way. Thank you, all!

    Arrived today with no fuss from Nin-Nin, decently packed with no wasted volume. I am very impressed with the engineering and build quality. The main landing gear alone are an amazing example of complexity and cleverness, and when they’re extended they’re rock solid. Thank goodness the Legioss is getting reissued this month. I NEED one for this beast.

    I had thought the NUNS adopted the VF-24, of which the VF-25 was a detuned "Share-Valkyrie" that was sent for free to emigrant fleets and colonies and the VF-26 made by Macross Olympia went nowhere. The VF-24 was described as so powerful and versatile that I can't imagine the NUNS getting rid of it only a decade or so after its adoption.

    Mine just shipped from Nin-Nin, so I’m glad I avoided their curse. Now I just need a Legioss.

    That Sisko looks very little like Avery Brooks.

    Been a while since I've been to this thread - how many keyboards have you gone through, Seto? 🙂

    He died as he lived. There will never be another like him.

    Well I checked Nin-Nin's FAQ, and it seems legit... I suppose this order broached some kind of limit.

    DX VF-27 Revival

    I ordered mine from Amazon, I may not get it until October, but from these initial reports it’s going to be cancelled. I hope these are just the few bad ones that escaped QC.

    Hi! Nin-Nin wants me to verify my identity by submitting pics of me holding my passport, and then close-up pics of my passport, along with a utility bill. Is this really a standard procedure? I’ve never had to do this with any other importer.
  11. Sildani
    Paid for my Tlead + Legioss. I hope it’s worth it. I’m going to have to sell some of my other Valkyries to recover.
  12. Sildani
    Same. Hopefully they're reliable. I hear stories from both sides.

    Rare earth magnets in fighter, then have the legs and arms attach via some flip-out pegs and flip-open holes for gerwalk and battroid.

    DX VF-27 Revival

    Sildani replied to borgified's topic in Toys

    I like the matte finish. Other than that I’m not totally sold on this since I didn’t much care for Brera as a character and I don’t think the extra screws are really going to change much. I thought it was a little odd they compared the Revival to the original 27, not the Renewal. I guess they wanted to show all the differences they could. I wonder if the Renewal 27 sold so poorly… Still happy with my Grace 27, but I did put in a PO for this with Amazon for the hell of it. I’ll compare it to my figure of Melda Dietz and see if their colors compare well. If not, Amazon’s return policy makes it simple.
