  1. I thought it would be worth noting that I ordered two arms and a leg for my VF-0S a while back. Well I got them in last week and after painstakingly switching everything out I noticed that the colors are slightly different on the new parts than the originals. It's nothing super major but enough to kind of bug me. Just wanted to give a heads up to you guys.
  2. There are a few on youtube currently. Collection DX's : and . CDX's 1/60 version 2 . Wizartars 1/48 Angel Bird VF-1A review and transformation video There are transformation videos for the VF-0S, SV-51, YF-21 and YF-19 as well on youtube.
  3. Two questions about your Reissue: Firstly, do the feet lock into place when pulled out? One of your pictures shows them collapsed into the leg still. And secondly, is the heat shield glossy? It looks almost shiny in those pictures.
  4. It comes with those tan/beige missile pods that go on the top of the fighter and on the wings. It also comes with big fuel tanks for the wings. This photo shows all the optional equipment attached.
  5. I honestly found the GL dubs to be very well done. Kamina's VA took some time to squeeze into the role but he managed to get out the insane moments when needed. Simon's did a fantastic job and everybody loved Bloom as Ron. Subs are nice but I seem to process information better when spoken instead of reading. After watching it twice in Japanese and once in english, I caught some stuff that I missed the first time. Also it is nice to be able to focus on the amazing animation work during fight sequences instead of having my eyes buried in text.
  6. I'd just like to add that I purchased a Ghost booster pack combo 0S and i have issues with my figure. Intake connections are iffy with small gaps in fighter and gerwalk. With the booster on it's back, gerwalk sags horribly behind the heat shield section. Gunpod works well on one arm hole but not on the other making it kinda loose in fighter mode. One of the landing gear was super super tight and I had to apply a lot of pressure to un-stick it. All in all I was very disappointed. To make things worse the fingers broke on both of my figures hands. This could be partially my fault but my 1/48 stealth 1J hasn't given me any problems what so ever. Oh and just so everyone knows, yes I ordered it new and the entire package was sealed so the "maybe replaced" comments need not apply.
  7. I have several of these problems. The backpack issue depends on if the flap on the backpack is secure in the main body or not. Still, the left leg is often left not secure. The plane does droop a bit but I have no problems with the intake covers that my 1/48 Stealth J doesn't have. The intake cover one one of my legs, probably the one with the gap that doesn't connect well with the backpack, is loose and tends to fall out easily. The posts about people having these switching out nightmares confuse me. I'm new but is there any reports of this happening? I mean you have to be a very shady business to do something like switch out products. Mine was purchased brand new on Amazon and had tape securing the plane to the ghost booster blister. It seems that the Zero line is just a failure on yamato's part.
  8. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v12/fina...rmers/desk1.jpg Click on the link below the picture to get the full version. I adjusted it a bit more in photoshop to not be so bright and overbearing. Should fit most widescreens. Not sure how it'll work on a regular 4:3 like display. Looks great on my 1440x900. Now I have to try harder to get some really good pictures up and post them in the user created section.
  9. I can upload a full sized version if your interested in a desktop background.
  10. I'm tempted but I have to ask will this site hammer my phone with annoying text messages? Currently my ring tone is "Stand Up" by the Flobots for normal calls. For my friend who grew up with Darrell (Dimebag that is) it's Pantera's Mouth For War. I also have Metallica's Creeping Death on my phone but currently not being used.

    What is this?

    Some of us don't mind non transforming figures. These were great eight years ago when me and my brother watched Robotech religiously after school. He had the 1D and I had the 1S because I've always been a Focker man. heh.
  12. Glad you guys enjoyed the pics. I should have used the tripod to be honest but it was late. The flag idea was something I'd been waiting to do, just never had a Roy valk to try it on heh.
  13. I bit the bullet on my dream valk about two weeks ago and just got around to taking some decent shots. Makeshift studio in the garage with one overhead light. I think they came out pretty good. VF-0S Ghost bundle. Sans ghost in these photos. (Don't ask about the pieces on the back) Very disappointed on initial inspection. I'll spare the details but I'm going to echo the "stay away from Zero figures" people. Even with this "fixed" release I had several QC issues that have probably ruined my experience. Yamato may not see much of my money anytime soon. That being said the figure looks bloody brilliant and when I find something to keep that damn top of the hand thingy on I'll be much much happier with my purchase. Superglue just isn't holding during the transformation process.
