treatment

c'mon, dude! The Spartan's got hands! with fingers! and elbows! and can wield a club or something!

ahhh! anecdotal data. oy, vey! next time, try to state it as much.

Tomahawk. It just looks better and more badass. Plus, the Tomahawk's cannons are jointed (ala elbow-style) for better torso-twisting directionality and movement, in contrast to the fixed guns of the Defender. imho, the Defender is overpriced for the features and stuff you get with it.

Enough neck, you said? I dunno, man. That Ozma you got there is still lookin' like a constipated ewok with its pants hiked up to his chest like an old retiree dude living in Florida anglin' for Flowmax and Viagra commercials.

What TheLoneWolf said. I'm very interested in the sales-numbers, too, so please provide the link. I know it's very difficult to get the box-edition of DYRL-remastered anymore (unless second-hand), while in contrast, the TV-remastered boxset is still available and rather heavily-discounted at both AmazonJapan and CDJapan, 29% and 30% off respectively.

oh for the luv of Minmay, give some Viagra for the VF-25S' antennae already and some damn neck on it while you're at it!!!

welp! found the new TF-Uni's earlier tonite at the local Wally's. quite alot of 'em, too. SSv2, Cheetor, Cyclonus, and Hound. I bought Hound and, well, thought Cyclonus ain't too shabby so bought him, too. I skipped SSv2 since I already have the v1 and the new coloring wasn't much of motivation to get v2. so, tada: haven't had the chance to take either one out, yet, since I'm still watching the Fiesta Bowl. late-add: bot-modes:

as already mentioned by others, I want Yamato to do 1/60 versions of the Glaug and the Regult.

lol! great review. although, a minor thing, but i can't believe Atom/CollectionDX is such a heathen that he doesn't have the legendary Macross TV and Movie soundtrack and instead opt to have used the robotech-ost for the review. oh, well. it's all good.

oh, my. that left head-laser (camera-view) on the Alto is really, uhhh, not straight. edit: actually, it's the right head-laser on the Alto.

awesome pose!

I was gonna inquire about the heatshield, but those pics seems to suggest that a push-down canopy to enable the heatshield. if true, r0ck1n!!!

that's a really slick box-art.

with this pic: http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/T...1974/017-24.jpg all i can say is... ...that's a really fugly grey gundam next to a VF-1J

oh, we do care. most of us, at least. i reckon it's just that most of us are either too broke coz of other stuff and/or just can't justify the current shitty exchange-rate. especially the shipping-cost for the toy. personally, i will get the Hikaru-1Sv2 once the US-dollar is strong again. eventually.

well, fwiw, the Hikky-1J is really quite boring in both GERWALK and fighter modes. contrast with its kickass Battroid-mode and in Armored GBP-mode. at any rate, i'm not particularly fond of the clown-hands for the 1/60v2 coz I think the normal hands spiffy enough and not chicken-fingers like the 1/48. kinda funny to think that yammie's got the clown-hands for the vf-1j, while bandai got the clown-feet on the vf-25.

nice and sexy. however, I cancelled my order just the other day coz of the continuing horrible exchange-rate.

HLJ just listed the OD, but with no early-bird discount it seems: http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00112

even with the hlj early-bird discount, i'm still passing (again) on the Q-Rau as it's still far too unnecessarily expensive just like when it first came out years ago.

me gots Ironhide and yes, he's blue-faced! found him at the local wally's. he's got a more meticulous transformation process than the other Classics and he's a bit short in botmode. here are the pix: vehicle-mode: his underside with his weapon attached: with Sideswipe for botmode height-comparison: Wish he was made bigger in size ala PowerGlide coz you know, he's the lovable grumpy right-hand man of Prime. But it's all good. For now, at least. oh, and I also saw that new 25th-anniv G1 Prime thingy and totally passed on it. Dull red, cut stacks and all. Dunno how much it was since I didn't even bother picking it up from the shelf.

ooooooooooooohhhhh!!! i really gotta get me the 1D.

ya know, i think we should have another poll. just for the lucky ones (like me) who don't have any issues (broken/fractures/etc) with their Roy-1S v2 since delivery and playing.

whoa! The OD ain't too shabby. I reckon that'll be the exact shade of green for the Spartan, too. If that destroid ever comes out.

Not quite. The original Miria Q-Rau actually was 12,800-yen back in the day. Of course, it included a figure. See http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00030 The original Max Q-Rau was 9800-yen: http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00035

Hah! Olive Drab is official SLDF colors, iirc. Sweet!!! Dunno if I'll be interested in any Camo-colors (urban or otherwise), tho.
