  1. The swivelling pilot seat on this is amazingly well implemented. The whole toy rocks the socks off the earlier YF-19. Graham
  2. Damn, it's not molded in the correct colors? Somehow, I was under the impression, that it was going to be molded in blue, white and grey, not all grey. Oh well, not getting one, so no biggie. Graham
  3. Still waiting for my R2 DVD version to arrive from Amazon Japan. In the meantime, I downloaded a raw BluRay rip and watched it on my PC. Was actually pretty impressed with the movie. I thought the battle at the end of the movie was quite epic. Graham
  4. Yeah, I also thought that. Graham
  5. 306, was definitely better than 305. Yeah, I like Ahsoka's character too. Stil want more Clones and more War though! Graham
  6. If you read my post carefully, you'll note I was talking about how difficult the Armored pack is to transform, not the Tornado pack. The VF-25 with Tornado pack is easy to fit and transform and locks together well. The only area of difficulty with the Tornado pack is getting the arm packs on in fighter mode, but I usually just leave them off anyway. Graham
  7. Yes, I am, but I'm still psyching myself up to transform my Armored Ozma from Battroid to Fighter mode. That's always a traumatic and highly challenging experience. Last time, I tried, I nearly threw the damn thing against the wall in frustratution, due to all the armored parts that kept on popping off during transformation! Does not enjoy the "it's all right as long as you don't touch it" toy experience". Graham
  8. I'm not worried about the processing power of the PSP. My concern is whether the VF performance will be deliberately handicapped, with slow turning, poor flight performance etc, so as to not make other lesser mecha seem too bad in comparison, the way that has seemed to happen with the recent PS3 Ace Game. Graham
  9. Saw the Banadai 1/72 scale VF-25F with Tornado pack model kit has been released already. Saw it in the Sino Centre branch of Animate last night, but didn't check the price, as I was busy toy hunting. Graham
  10. Just to clarify, the set contains the following parts:- 2 x ventral large missile pods, with opening hatches for Tornado Pack. 4 x snap-on fuel tanks(?), which fit on the front of the Tornado's wing-tip engine pods. 4 x reaction missiles. 2 x double reaction missile mounts for the Armoured Pack. 2 x single reaction missile mount for Tornado pack (can only be fitted if the big ventral missile pods are not installed). Pics attached. Graham
  11. Just picked up the "Powered Weapons Set" last night for the Bandai DX 1/60 VF-25 Tornado / Armored. This set includes the Space Parts for the Tornado pack and Reaction Missiles and mounts for the Armored Pack. Bought it in Ins-Point shopping centre for HK$350. Ins-Point was the only place that I found selling it and I searched all the usual suspects. A few quick pics attached. Graham
  12. Moving, this topic, as it shouldn't be in the toy forum. Graham
  13. Yep, just finally got around to reading World War Z recently and really enjoyed it. I'd read the Zombie Survival guide a few years ago, but disn't really like it, as I disagreed with a lot of what Max Brook wrote, especially involving equipment. That's probably why I delayed so long in reading World War Z. I've been a fan of Romero's Dead movies since first seeing Day of the Dead in the mid-80s. I own and frequently watch all 6 of Romero's Zombie movies as well as the Tom Savini remake of Romero's Night of the Living Dead, which I think is excellent. Not a fan of any Zombie movie with fast-movers. Graham
  14. On the fence about this, but starting to waver towards buying it. That shark mouth and eyes look so cool. Graham
  15. No, the team that designed the 1/60 Yamato VF-19Kai, is definitely a completely different group to the people that designed the 1/100 Hi-Metal VF-19Kai for Bandai. Graham
  16. For those members living in Hong Kong, I saw today that Hong Kong Records in Pacific Place in Admiralty had several copies of the Blu-Ray Hybrid Pack sitting on the shelf in the games section. The cost was HK$639. Graham

  18. Oh, and mild objection to the slightly misleading thread title. The zombies in the Walking Dead are Romero slow mover type zombies, or as referred to in the comic, 'Roamers' and 'Lurkers' and they do not talk. They ARE NOTthe silly talking zombies from the 'Return of the Living Dead' comedy movie, that always say "Brains". Graham
  19. As a huge fan of the Walking Dead graphic novels, I've been really looking forward to this. Hope they stay reasonably faithful to the comics and that it doesn't get cancelled after one season as so many promising genre shows seem to do these days. Graham
  20. Definitely will be buying the full game when it is released. Graham
  21. On the fence about this. Will need to see more/better screen shots and then wait for some reviews after release. To be honest, I'm not a fan of 99% of the non-Macross mecha in the game and think most of them are damn silly looking. That, together with the fact that Macross mecha in ACE games often have handling problems, so I'm gonna wait and see before getting all excited. Graham
  22. Watched the trailer. While I like Madhouse, this doesn't look like my cup of tea at all, as I'm not into racing or hotwheels looking cars. Will pass. Graham

    YF 25 PROPHECY

    Like all of us, I'd love to see the design team that did the DX VF-27, do a complete redesign of the DX VF-25 toy. Probably won't happen though. Unfortunately, Bandai doesn't even seem to be doing any more mold-milking of the existing DX VF-25 mold. They have had plenty of time to do a cannon fodder, but haven't even done that yet, so I don't expect a YF-25 Prophecy from them. Graham
