I've found that my very early-release 1/60 V.1 valks have selectively yellowed far more than my later-release V.1s have, despite having the same climate-controlled storage facility (my closet). The CFs, TRU-1As, Hikaru & Max 1As, and non-FP VF-1Ss show more pronounced yellowing on the nose cone, gear doors, hands and screw caps. Later releases, like the various Supers and VE/VT-1, haven't showed as much yellowing.

VF-14S?

It actually may have changed recently - I think I had just heard that there is a new MAME4ALL Android/IOS port based on a newer MAME version (old MAME4ALL was based on an ancient v.36 build).

Dynaman - As I understand it, the full plot arc of the full series was originally planned to include events depicted in season 2, later truncated (to one season, ending with Love Drifts Away), and then semi-re-expanded (for the 2nd season).

What are your favorite VFs/YFs/VBs/RVFs?
Hiriyu replied to nick20050's topic in Movies and TV Series
VF-1, hands down. The first-ever convincing transformable mech of the "real-robot" genre. Just mind-blowingly ground breaking for the era it was created, and still beautiful today. Everything in its design suits a functional purpose; there are no extraneous bits added on just because they look cool, or to make for a novel transformation. Purity of design. -
am I an a-hole for telling someone they bought something fake?

The Max-Kakizaki giftset custom box is quite cool. Takatoku fitted foam trays would have pulled the whole thing together a bit more though... Vacuformed Joons trays just aren't right when the name Takatoku appears on the box -
Looking forward to the CDX report next week. More tease (diecast haters need not apply, yum):

Indeed, that's awesome. Also reinforces the awesomeness of GX-34

Via ToysDaily and Robot Japan, here's another painted proto picture. Looking good if I do say so myself, which incidentally I do. A little bird tells me that actual production is set to start very soon. http://www.toysdaily...187565-1-1.html http://robotjapan.pr...d=19216&page=83

Bace in your face, not an 8-track. Meh on the new Legioss/Tread sketch. The one from a few years ago isn't as egregiously bad, but I can do without it.

Soft & wobbly is anime-accurate in this case.

Bunch of my friends and I got these in gashapon form when we were kids, at the Robot Restaurant in socal. I got a GBP-1J battroid, and I think one of my friends got a vanilla 1-J battroid. They were pretty cool, but as I recall I lost mine in short order.... in hindsight, it was probably nicked

Dammit dammit dammit. Was lined up for this one. I hope for a late-game save of some kind, but am not optimistic. Dammit.
-
Fix'd.
-
Wow, quite odd that. Unallocated stock? Nice news for those still looking for one!

Be sure to let us know your detailed thoughts on the Beagle/Toynami. I'd like to know how you think it compares to Yamato's mecha efforts. It is an absolutely incredible piece in my estimation. I cannot think of any other single toy that equals it in complexity or execution.
-
Sign me up any whichever way it comes out. I would prefer a completed toy, but a kit in the vein of the 1/3000 Macross second release wouldn't bother me a bit. If it were more a full-on resin kit, I'd just have to commission it to one of the expert builders here, but I'd still be entirely on top of the procurement. Woohoo.

The computer and electronics super geek thread
Hiriyu replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Mike, Check to see if there were any Windows updates pending application from your last shutdown to your first startup today. I had a similar issue occur a couple of days ago on one of my machines, and was only able to solve it by restoring a backup hdd image (machine in question is a Windows tablet with a single hdd, and I couldn't get any sort of access to the boot menu until I plugged in a keyboard). Restore point didn't work; had to go whole hog with hdd image backup. Interestingly, the last backup was right on the cusp of an automatic Windows update which appeared to have failed installation resulting in the inability to boot (a single file in the boot partition was corrupted). -

Yep Fortunately, all is good here, had caught that distinction before ordering. Really good advice in general though. Duke, you get your new rig put together yet? I'd like to see how yours overclocks with the Hyper 212. Mine's been pretty happy with the stock cooler at 3.9ghz, so I'd expect some serious headroom on yours..
