  1. I missed part 1, my decision of getting part 2 depends on whether I'm able to get a set of part 1. It's kinda suck only having half the set.

    I heard from the owner of toy shop I used go to that the re-issue of part 1 will be repainted to different colour. Is it true? I can't imgaine Minmay's dress or Hikaru's uniform in another other colour.

    The secret chase figure is just outragous, too expensive.

    Unless it come with my box, otherwise I'll give a pass on it.

    If it indeed come with my box, I may consider selling it away,

    easy profit.

  2. Since I started the thread, I better add a bit comment to clear things up.

    Before I start downloading it and watching M7, I already know I shouldn't have high expectation on it. I knew it is targeted to below 12 audience, so I watch it just as a past time and threat it like yet another super robot cartoon. I didn't bash on the quality of the anime or the recycle of clips, I understand that's just a low-budget TV series. I didn't bash much on the robot design, view it from another prepsective, the mecha is still kinda cool. Only if they can spend a bit time designing some decent looking enemies. The space monster is like coming out directly from Dragon Ball Z, so does the new bad guy with wing. I think I can tolerate the space monster if it just look cooler.

    A few years ago, I tried renting the show, but gave up on the 10th episode,

    the pace in the beginning is just too slow. This time, since downloading is free, I keep watching one or two eposides a day up to where City 7 got kinapped, Then story actually turned out quite good when Miria come out to fight and the backdrops of space war 1 appears here and there. This motivate me to watch the next 15 eposides in 2 days. However the space monster is just an anti-climax after all the good stuff. I wrote the first posting out of disappointment rather than hatre of the show.

    Let's see how the story wrap up in the end.

    One last thing, after brain washed by Basara's song for 30 eposides,

    I kinda like the music in M7.

  3. I'm still struggling with Macross 7, viewed up to ep. 30 so far.

    Being a true Macross fans, I force myself finish all the shows in the

    Macross franchise. So far, I can tolorate with ugly valkyire with face, transforming Macross with fingers, even girl flying in space without help of any equitnment.

    But, valkyrie fighting space monster really crossed the line.

    What's next? Sailormoon + power range? Mylene transform into a valkyire with a flashy magic stick?

  4. I just saw the perfect (not-so) rei in japanese book store in Vancouver. They got a whole pile of it in there. It cost CAD$45, and after some thinking and close observation of the toy, I decided to pass on it.

    The toy is very small, and it is made of plastic.

    The worst is the chest is actually not connected to the lower body,

    it's sort of floating on top of it with a big gap in between. The paint job is

    no where as pretty as those pictures on the web.

    For the same amount of money, I'd rather get a BT transformer.

    It's highly not recommanded for non-Rei fans.

    P.S. If they make a Asuka figure, I may consider buying a set though.

    I'm more a fan of Asuka than Rei. :)

  5. I just got my set from Ben. Thanks for the prompt delivery.

    I'll like to post a mini-review about the Tomy diorama.

    First of all, the candy come with the toy sucks. Don't eat it, it taste really bad.

    Tomy has some really serious QC problem. The b-tab of my VF-1S is not glued properly, there is a big gap between the main body and the fins. My VF-1J gerwalk's left wing is really loose. I just can't stay on the same position unless I really level the valkyire. Worst of the worst, the left leg of my Monster is crooked. As a result, my monstor's two foot are not resting level on the ground.

    The toy set come with colour and detailing. lots of clipped paints here and there, the panel lines are way too thick. Can't except too much in a trading figure, so the painting is still acceptable in total.

    The figure has very limited articulation, can't really pose at all. The sculpture is not that great. The propotion is just not right. The Max VF-1A pose is very un-cool.

    In short, if you havn't buy this set, don't buy it.

    You'll definitely regret. :(

  6. Nope, you are not cured, actually you are getting worse.

    It's kinda like quiting smoking for taking drugs.

    TF toys is a more bottomless pit than Macross.

    Now... i'm struggling to decide whether I should

    by BT-03 and 04, I already got 01,02 and Optimus Prime.

    I know if I buy 03 and 04, I may enter a whole new

    frontier that I can't afford in the end.

    Sigh.... delimma.

  7. I suspect this one is a bootleg.

    1. It has simplied chinese label on the box and instruction sheet.

    2. The color doesn't exactly match what I have in the memory.

    3. It funky labels.

    4. It come with a SD valkyire, which is NOT packaged with any SDF-1 as I known

    5. From looking at the photos, I don't think it can transform at all.

    6. Last, I don't see any matchbox logo on the box from the photo.

    In my opinion, it's definitely doesn't worth US$60.

    I won't even pay for the shipping cost even the item itself is free.

    Plus, the real thing (taka or matchbox version) is only $30 more!

  8. I just got a toynami superposable for the share of posing it right next to my yamato 1/48 and 1/60. I feel got cheated by the description. This toy is not poseable at all! The only pose that actually look ok is kneeing down, all other poses looks really awkward.

    Provided that the toy is non-transformable, toynami should be able to throw in lots of articulations. Even the K&M non-tranformable gashapon pose much better than it.

    Oh well.... Now, I just need a Banspero, a Bandai, a MPC, a I-men and a SD to complete my set of one valkyire in every scale.
