    Can the Break Barrel IX-2 attach to the Recon's bottom rail without modification, or does it need some modification done first? Graham

    The Recon really should have had an ambidextrous side-mounted cocking handle as standard, it would have made it a much better NERF blaster. Graham

    Just to clarify, the VF-17's forearm beam guns have barrels in both the wrist and elbow, just the elbow ones extend out, where the wrist ones don't. The wrist/elbow beam gun feature was something General Galaxy decided to reuse for they follow up VF, the YF-21/VF-22. Graham

    Ordered a yellow Raider stock, one more 18rd drum, a 35rd drum and a Stampede 18rd mag from ebay for my Alpha Trooper. Graham Thanks for the holster tip, will check it out. Also been thinking about getting a dump pouch. Just bought the NERF bandoleer. Thinking about getting a Raider as well, but like the Alpha Trooper for it's compact-ish size. Can't find the NERF double barreled shotgun in HK. Graham

    Surprised nobody is making some dedicated Kydex belt holsters for the Maverick. Graham

    Gave my Barricade another try last night in the house and it worked fine. It's weird, when I first got it, my son and I tested it indoors and it worked fine, but when we took it outdoors to have a NERF fight around our village, it started jamming after only a couple of shots. Yet last night it worked fine again. I've noticed you definitely can't fire too rapidly and need to have a second or half second pause between shots and also it needs a good firm trigger pull, something my just 7 year old son can't always manage yet. Need to do some more testing before I feel confident with it though. Still think the manually operated guns like the Maverick and Alpha Trooper are better than the noisy battery powered Barricade though. Planning to get a CS-35 Raider soon, for the 35rd drum. Just ordered an 18rd Stampede magazine off ebay as well Would like to get a few more of the 18rd Alpha Trooper drums. Anybody know a source of holsters for Mavericks? Graham

    Bought that pack of 2 x 6rd magazines that comes with the grey adapter that lets you clip 2 mags together end to end, but it seems really unsecure in that the slightest bump will knock a magazine out of the grey adapter clip. Do you guys usually glue the mags into the adapter clip? Graham

    Just recently started getting into NERF with my nearly 7 year old son. Bought the following guns in the past 3 weeks: 1 x Alpha Trooper CS-18 = Fantastic gun, highly recommended. Love the balance of size, weight and capacity and the slam fire feature. 1 x Barricade RV-10 = Very noisy and jams frequently. Really regret buing this. It worked ok for about 30 shots but now jams all the time. 2 x Maverick REV-6 = Great sidearms. Got one yellow and one transluscent green. My favorite so far. 1 x Recon CS-6 = So-so IMO. good as a pistol, but the stock feels flimsy and doesn't hold a spare mag securely, the rail being on the cocking handle is a really stupid location as it interferes with the rear sight. If I'd had a chance to try this first I probably would not have bought it. The Alpha Trooper is far superior IMO. So far my feeling is to stay away from the battery powered guns. Graham

    The Fire Valk has been on sale in HK since 19th May. Most shops are selling it for around HK$1,600+. And yes, shops in HK are open on a Sunday. Graham

    No, yellow = yellow, not gold. Graham

    Cool, first time to show the turret in use in fighter mode. Really shows how the features of the Tornado Pack were integrated into the YF-29. Graham
  12. Graham
    Yes, the chest guns were used numerous times in battroid mode in the series, but if u blink u miss it. The yellow markings on Millia's and Brando's VF-17S are different. Graham
  13. Graham
    Stay on topic guys, next non YF-29 post gets a spanking. Graham
  14. Graham
    Personally, I prefer the D head to the S. The VF-17D is probably my all time favourite VF head, second being the VF-19S Graham

    WTF is a Gurdian? Graham
  16. Graham
    Ha, that will be close then, as I fly to Greece on 25th. May need a local members help to buy one for me. Graham

    Been discussing with Yamato about the lack of instument panel tampo or sticker on the Fire Valkyrie. Apparently the head of development didn't think it was needed However, good news, I have got then to agree to include it for the VF-19S and F. Graham

    Anybody spotted the exact release day in June on any website yet??? I'm guessing it will be around 25th, as that is when Bandai usually releases. But would appreciate exact date if anybody has seen it. Graham

    The VF-17's lower legs were always going to be problematic.They have to look big and chunky for battroid mode, yet slim enough to enable a relatively slim fighter mode. And then into the lower leg, you need to fit the rear landing gear, folded gunpod, reaction missile bay, all the associated doors and the connections for the knee and ankle joint. At this stage, I can confirm landing gear and a gunpod stored in the leg (in some form). I don't know yet, but I suspect the reaction missile bay may not be included (I should know later today). The latest CADs look great. From what I saw yesterday, Yamato have done a good job of capturing the chunkiness of the Nightmare in battroid, while still keeping a relatively slim fighter mode. Graham

    Yes, unfortunately the wings extend to the back of the knees. No easy way around this unless you have swappable wings, a small set for battroid and a full size set for fighter, but Yamato don't want to do that.Graham

    Having gunpod firing ports on both the right and left leg on the 1/65 DX. Graham
  22. Graham
    Thanks Kurdt, you're a hero! Graham
  23. Graham
    The gunpod is stored in the right leg and fires out of the right leg in fighter mode and ejects out of the right leg in battroid mode. The orange colour beam gun adaptor, which replaces the standard magazine is stored in the left leg and ejects out of the left leg when needed. Graham

    Finally, one more request, a screen capture from ep 43 (IIRC) showing the reaction missiles being loaded into the VF-17. Need a clear pic showing the reaction missile bay doors open on the VF-17. Graham

    Thanks guys, greatly appreciate your speedy work. Had to (a) stop them making the same mistake as Bandai and (b) want to make sure they include the beam gun adaptor. Graham
