  1. I wonder if the gunpod be able to attach externally on the underside of the fighter, as this is how it is mounted on the VF-171, unlike the internal storage of the VF-17. I have confidence in Bandai that the finished version will have lots of Tampo printing. The total number of variants that Bandai could make are: VF-171EX Alto version. VF-171EX standard version (no red stripes). RVF-171EX VF-171 cannon fodder. RVF-171 (Note, all the above versions were released by Bandai in the 1/250 scale Macross Fighter Collection). For possible accessory packs there are: The EX version weapon packs (Arm missile Pod and large arm-mounted beam gun). Alto's additional Ex version armour parts (chest and leg armour) (this should be packaged and sold with the EX version weapon packs). Twin Fold boosters shown being used by the RVF-171. I do think wing-mounted missiles should be standard for the VF-171/VF-171EX as during the anime, they were pretty musch shown carrying missiles all the time. Graham
  2. Damn, away from the forums for a couple of days and this happens. Definitely getting 3 of these (more of the CF version if they release it).
  3. Just finished watching Gundam Unicorn OVA # 1-4. Now rewatching Macross 7, for is it the 7th or 8th time (It's my all time favourite anime TV series). On episode # 5 at the moment. Also rewatching Mospeada, currently on episode # 14. Will have to get to Black Lagoon and finish watching it soon also. Still got 4 or 5 eps to go and then onto the OVA. Graham
  4. Yep, it's a fantastic toy. Graham
  5. Yeah agreed. From what I recall (and please correct me if I'm wrong), Bandai usually don't have too much of a presence at Wonder Fest. Graham
  6. I gotta say, whoever was in charge of marketing this film did a lousy job, or perhaps they just had no marketing budget. Graham
  7. While I don't want to see a remake, I'd also be up for a side story OVA set during Space War One. Graham
  8. Yep, definitely can't sit on its landing gears (CM's taking a lesson from Toynami.....LOL). Still looks cool though. Graham
  9. I actually love the streamlined look of the VF-19S/F without canards. They are my favourire 19 variants. Graham
  10. Picked up the CM's Unmanned Drone Dark Legioss, pretty cool, although it's a bit of a nuisance that you have to remove the hand the attach it in Armo-Fighter mode. Although I found that I can actually store the magazine by sloting it into the back of the gun when in fighter mode. Graham
  11. "Pointless battle scenes"! It's the battle scenes that make this OVA IMO, certainly not the story and dialogue. Or to put it another way, I don't watch this OVA, for the seemingly endless scenes of Banagher explaining why it's good to feel sad and cry......yawn! Me wanna see lots of scenes of big stompy robots blowing each other up in glorious high definition...........LOL! Although I appreciate how people who are into the novels may be upset that the anime adaptation is not 100% faithful.! Want to ask, what was the Feddie suit that kicked ass in the battle at the end of episode 4. Looked like some sort of updated Gaplant. Graham
  12. Not really. Some Gundam I like, most I don't. I don't hate all Gundam. In fact CCA and 0080 actually make my top ten list of all time favorite non-Macross anime. I'm just in the mood to watch some mecha anime that I've not watched before. Unicorn is visually stunning, but the mecha designs really do nothing for me, certainly give me no desire to buy toys or models of them. As usual, it's only the grunt GM cannon fodder types that I think actually look nice. There are very few MS designs that I actually think look nice enough that I would or have bought toys or models of them. And the main protaganist is still the typical annoying, angsty, whiny Gundam character that makes me want to slap him and shout "grow a pair" at him. One of the many reasons I prefer Macross to Gundam is the far lower level on angst (almost none) in Macross. Most Macross main characters just get on and do the job, whether it be killing or singing without all the angsty behavior and sobbing. I'm half way through episode 4 and the main character has spent most of the episode so far crying.......LOL! Graham
  13. Err.........watched the video. Is Speed on speed? Graham
  14. Doubtful I'd say. It would be nice to see Strike, Elint & Ostrich reissues though. Graham
  15. Why? It's all good! Graham Shouldn't Robotech more accurately be called Macross's younger shittier brother, given that Macross is the older and far more extensive of the two franchises. Graham
  16. Hmmmm, may pass on Igloo then. Probably about time to rewatch 0083 and 08MST, as it's at least 5 years since I last saw them. Graham
  17. Extremely, extremely grateful. Really thanks a lot. I'm really quite anal about missing parts and this was just bugging me so much. Graham
  18. If there is a MUF/MTF game for the PS Vita, I will definitely buy a Vita. Graham
  19. Just started on episode 4. OT, but is MS Igloo worth watching or not? Graham
  20. Actually, I'd prefer a Macross 7 remake over an SDFM remake. For a Macross 7 remake, reuse the soundrack, and audio dialogue, keep the story exactly same, keep the mecha designs exactly the same, keep the character designs exactly the same, just animate the damn thing better, have better fight chorography and less reliance on stock footage. The only design change I'd like to see is the Protodeviln, make them a bit more scary and alien loooking perhaps. I'd love to see Diamand Force VF-17's and Emerald Force VF-19's and VF-11C's mixing it up with Fz-109's with a Macross Plus or Macross Frontier level of animation and decent fight choreography. But if not, I love Macross 7 so much, I'm happy with it as it is. Graham And I generally agree with this statement. Graham
  21. No reply so far from either Toynami, Robotech.com or the ebay seller Graham
  22. At work now, so can't check, but IIRC, the male figures don't have diagonal joints. Graham
