  1. It looks great with super parts! And it occurs to me, I'm kinda surprised Bandai hasn't done a Web Shop Special with them yet...
  2. Also need some pylons for under the wings and fuselage.
  3. You'll have to get the vintage KC light caps though. The current ones have a different font, if you care that much.
  4. Better be dang strong, because we don't know how much weight it has to support. I'd suggest bar magnets.
  5. iPhone 6 and 6s are 1334 X 750. Just sayin'.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Careful. That's the Hoary Froating Head mining your head for ideas.
  7. Aside from the entire VF-25 Version 1 debacle, that is. Still, Bandai has gotten better over the last few years. Somehow, Arcadia's gotten worse. Or unlucky. Either way, I'm getting my VF-4, but I'll be more careful with it than I am my CF 1A.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Gotta ask: bright white with red, blue, yellow, and green stripes (SDF's VF-1s), and then Max and Millia's bright blue and red ones, AREN'T airshow paint jobs? Just saying, there's definitely precedent for Macross warplanes to be painted that way, it's not just the 31s.
  9. On the brand new 27s, the nose is already flattened about 1mm. Or mine is. Came that way out of the box.
  10. Took 2 years of kenjutsu, in the Itto-Ryu form. Lots of fun, lots of sweat. I moved away and haven't found a new dojo, but I still practice what I did learn.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Careful. They may yet be so, in the final release. Never dismiss Bandai's desire to save a Sen here and there.
  12. Yeah, and that also explains the VF-4's lower price compared to the 0. They changed nothing about the mold. Now we just have to worry about their choice of plastic, and their changed QC methods.
  13. More accessible to the Japanese watching it at the time, perhaps? Or, Hikaru and Co. were used to apartments from before the fighting, and more than anything else wanted something normal and comforting. By the way, what's the definitive way to watch this?
  14. Carefully and beautifully. 😄
  15. Agreed. What platform is this using? I can't see too many uses for a rear-drive compact car platform, so I don't see many economies of scale. I'll say, since Toyota is a BIG car maker and they'll pull absolutely as much as they can from the corporate parts bin to keep costs down, that the base model of this car will run $18,000. Don't expect A/C or power windows at that price, either.
  16. Wasn't it freakishly expensive?
  17. Or the Short Stirling. But yes, the B-17, at least from the E model onwards, was built incredibly strongly, given a large amount of armor plates, and literally bristled with.50 calibers. All that meant a reduced bomb load. But it also meant more 17s got back home to England.
  18. Good job Scyla, it also looks like the outer wings will fold inward. The backpack may well be smaller than you think.

    Bandai 1/35 DX VF-1

    If it's less than $500 I'll be shocked. If it is, that's Bandai's gauntlet to Arcadia's face.
  20. Matter of fact, you can JUST see them in the upper left of this pic. Looks like they're attached to a 2 in fighter mode. And the sign says 2016, 32,000 yen!
  21. Quoted for truth. My daughter's upset at the lack of Black Widow role-play stuff too.
  22. The Draken III has a delta wing. Problem solved.
