  1. That is some very high praise. I can't wait to see all of your photos of it. I think I am going to have to go ahead and get in an order somewhere for this now.
  2. I absolutely agree with you on Apache. Robot mode and helicopter mode look great, but car mode is the dealbreaker to me. The thing which still has me interested in MMC's Saltus is that the car mode looks passably like a car. I feel like that's the most difficult mode to accomplish with Springer, so I am holding out on everything else until after I see what the finished product is going to look like. I wish they'd hurry right along and show off some fully painted prototypes.
  3. I am in the slightly crazy minority, but I got Citizen Stack a few years ago and felt no need to even consider Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. I truly didn't like how squat the Masterpiece seemed to be in robot mode. I got a head upgrade kit for my Stack and it makes ALL the difference in the world. I believe it was the SXS kit.
  4. Wow. Harsh review. I am extremely curious to see what jenius has to say about this.
  5. Full armor VF-11 would make me squeal like a little girl. Interested to learn more about this Battle 7, though.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I don't like the VF-31F's head one single bit. It is my least favorite head design of any of the Valkyries which I have ever owned. However... I do really like the paint scheme of Messer's. If I could swap the head for another variant (which matched the paint scheme), then I would be quite pleased.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Oooh, I hope those super parts are already out. I'd like very much to find a surprise in my mail within the next two weeks or so.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I'm in the minority, but... meh. I still like the silhouette/profile of the YF-30 Chronos infinitely more than that of the Kairos. Shame that the Chronos can't have the excellent torso engineering of the VF-31.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Oh! Thank you for this! I shall get my order in right away.
  10. Wow...! Curious about the projected price point for this. I still have and love my Beagle version, but this looks to be on a new level.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Say, when do preorders for the VF-31F Super Packs open...? I have lost track.
  12. Well that's a creative use of that Marine body... I suppose I will be trying to get this. Really wish some of the other Marines would agree to let their likenesses be used.

    Hi-Metal R

    Quoted for great truth.
  14. Well, I'm in for both of those... A random question for fans of the first Predator movie: I can't believe I never really thought about this after having seen this so many times, but I recently started to wonder where exactly are Dutch's teammates keeping their ammo? Mac might be the only exception, as he has pouches all over his vest and a belt-carried ammo box. Anybody (or any site) ever attempted to extrapolate how many rounds are fired by each person throughout the movie and then determine how many magazines each person should be carrying? I know it's an overly picky thought, but it's not going to diminish my love for the movie in any way.
  15. YES!!! If it is as faithful as the 2016 short, then I will be completely ecstatic.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I may have said this before, but I really wish that we could get a re-engineered YF-30 which uses the same transformation mechanics as the YF-31. I doubt that'll ever happen. I just don't like the look of the Kairos as much as I like the look of the Chronos. Say, how perpendicular to the ground is the wing/backpack supposed to be when in fighter mode? I see varying degrees of this in different photos. Some of them look like an almost perfect 90 degrees, but mine won't go down quite that far. I've transformed my VF-31F several times and feel fairly confident that I'm not leaving anything in the neck or chest in the wrong place. And is the back supposed to attach to the torso in a locking manner? I know that there are tabs which connect the lower folding wing to the upper non-folding wing, but that's all of which I am aware.
  17. What the...? http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/848209-first-look-at-the-predator-heading-into-battle-in-new-set-photo#/slide/1 I truly hope that this is just a "goofing around" kind of set pic.
  18. Oh, I absolutely agree with you. I can't stand Resurrection. I have grown more tolerant of Alien3 over the years, but I still don't feel the "need" to watch it. (I have almost forgiven the Colonial Marines game for "righting" something which I always felt was a grievous writing mistake.) Alien: Isolation was truly amazing for the suspense which it created.
  19. I will admit that I have not yet seen this, and now I don't plan to. After reading every single spoiler for this movie (as told by those who have already seen it), my interest in seeing it has been reduced to zero. (Which is a shame, because I am a die-hard Alien and Aliens fan.) I am really turned off by inconsistencies in the lore, if that makes sense.
