Negotiator

Went to franks n sons last weekend. If you're looking for TFP arcee and starscream, in or around that city, that's where they all went...I hope nobody buys them! It's gonna be battle for bulkhead for sure when it gets released here. Not too worried about finding op.

I'm having the same problem with my newly purchased Yamato "Perfect Trance VF-1J Ichijyou Hikaru Type with Super Parts 1/60." I bought it through newegg.com but the merchant was Treasure Island Sports (http://tisinc99.com). Anyway, the darn thing broke on the very first transform. I was watching the transform instructions while doing it, so I tried to be careful with the shoulder, but to no avail. Dang thing cracked.

Anyway, I tried tisinc99 but they haven't returned my emails. I tried hlj.com but they said I didn't buy it from them, so...no love. Yamato won't sell them to round-eyes (OK well Americans because of the whole licensing thing). So I'm at a bit of a loss.

Fortunately I bought a couple Bandai 1/55s for my kids. I had Jetfire when I was a kid so that's how I go into all this. I never watched Robotech until the last month or so. Actually Robotech kind-of sucks, really. Love the toys though. The Yamato is gorgeous but is a fragile POS. They should have used a lot more die cast in the shoulders. The Bandais are much more solidly built. Different types of toys really.

Anyway, if anyone has any leads on replacement hinges, I need two for sure. Otherwise I'll just be stealing my kids stuff...

if you live in so. cal. tisinc has a booth at frank and sons. you'll find them because they have the largest selection of valks for sale and are all overpriced.

Got tfp arcee while exchanging my ss. Gotta say ss and arcee are really nice. Too bad more don't come per case. Looking forward to the rest of the line.

Still hunting for arcee, but have ss, and bb. Bees bottom legs could have been designed better and the shoulders could use some locking to keep them in place. Good thing tho it has a swivel waste for better poses. The rubbery part on ss head is bent do to whoever packed it. Actually his head wasn't even on the ball joint. It was just jammed into the chest cavity, but still overall happy with both.

Edit....qc issue warning...

So whoever put my prime ss together was drunk. After looking closely, I realized that it has 2 left biceps so when looking at it straight on, the right bicep is showing the hollowed out side of the plastic. Tranformation hasn't been a problem at all. What caught my attention to it was that when posing its right arm , it had a little snap to it when bending the elbow joint and the left arm didn't. Going to try to remove a peg or 2 later and reverse the bicep to make it less noticeable.

Edit...again...

Aaarrgh! I can't get these pins off without damaging the plastic around it. Looks like I'll have to live with it until voyager SS is out and/or if I'm luck enough to find another deluxe to exchange.

Thanks Tobi!

checked my vf-11b after it's been in bat mode for a couple months.

So far I spotted this on the right shoulder. Hopefully that's it.

I got the impression he had to eject was because, you can't just drop armor packs on the yf-29 like the other VFs. or like in ZERO. That is of course if he was going for the same approach as Shin was, and trying to appear non-threatening.

Oh thanks guys. Is Zolan explained in m7?

Was it ever stated or printed somewhere if Michael is half or pure zentran?

We can only wish....

But...It would probably be web exclusive like the green vf-27

Oh I have a few questions!

1.) Who are her inspiration before she started singing and who inspires her now.

2.) Has she reached her goal as to what type or style of music she wants to do in this career?

3.) What did she think of California? Will she come back to anime expo?

Iirc, the 480p avi hardsub'd was good enuff to play off my ps3 on a 42" tv. Streaming the higher res .mkv ones over wi-fi had issues.

If anyone finds one that's hard sub'd, please, post link.

sorry... my bad... got too excited

Got me excited too! I prefer 720s sometimes for streaming purposes.

Thanks for the heads-up... this'll make my weekend...

although, i think the other link is just an audio file... here's the 720p version - http://www.nyaa.eu/?...info&tid=255178

that link says it's for the first movie

Is the yellowing really that widespread after a few years (let's say less than 5 or 6 years) with Yamato Valks?

Has anyone had a v.2 VF-1 yellow whether it's a DYRL or TV type?

Yes...My movie roy 1s, movie hiki 1a, vf0s, 1/48 1j have that yellow/brown tint. They are never in direct sunlight, although my tv hiki 1j, vf-25f v.1 are still pretty white and they're all in the same area. I just think that it will happen to ALL white plastic eventually.

gracias!

This bird is beautiful. I wish I could have bought 3 of them to display in each mode. It's awesome to finally have a real gerwalk mode.

Finally I watched the movie with subtitle!

I'm glad that I did, as the plot is very different from the TV version.

I only watched the movie part 1 and part 2 once only, so I am still wondering:

So Sheryl knows she is a test subject all along? And the impacts of her songs?

If you never read any anime magazine or forums or whatsoever third party source, how do you know that is Isamu from the other Macross fleet?

I won't bother with other plot holes. It would be meaningless, because obviously the script writer doesn't care.

Me too I love the TV version better, though the movie version is not as bad as I've thought/ heard.

P.S. though I own the BD from the PS3 hybrid pack, I downloaded a 720p MKV (need the subtitles). I watched it on my iPAD2 and it is beautiful.

watched it w/o subs, but were these eng subs? if so where?

Mmhhmmm!

Ok the original is on netflix right now. After watching it, I'm thoroughly impressed by the prequel's attention to detail. Seriously watch the original right after the new movie. I don't think the new movie was bad at all, it was a fun addition.

I have to wait awhile to digest a movie and comment except that ramona flowers is hot. Lol I plan to rewatch the original again tho my initial impression is that I like the original more.

Just watched it. Theres nothing at the end.of the credits. Stuff during the early credits, but nothing at the end.

Oh well, the writer has better credentials. Hope its not too late to fix into something decent.

Just get skyrim and lock yourself away

Sony finally made a good commercial. I like the Kevin butler ones, but they're more funny then they are good advertising.
