Neither the clear version, or the movie color version do anything for me. I will pass on both. And the shield on the movie version doesn't look any closer to the arm to me. Graham

Looking to buy the VF-0D if anybody is selling. Graham

Hmmm........those two little doors are interesting. Graham

I uploaded all 25 eps of Frontier to my PSP months ago and it all still plays fine. Just this new MUF ad seemings to be giving me a hard time. PSP doesn't have the correct codec perhaps? Graham

Downloaded the MUF vid and tried to convert it with Agile PSP Converter software, so I can watch it on my PSP, but even after converting, My PSP is saying it's an invalid file format. Anybody else tried putting it on their PSP and had the same problems or success? Graham

The VT-1 is a really nice toy IMO. Great job Yamato. It's probably my favorite of the V2 1/60 VF-1 series so far. Not sure why the complaints about lack of Tampo printing. It seems to have quite a lot of markings. I'm certainly happy with the amount of printing. And for those of you late to the party, the shoulder hinge pin design was modified a while back, so that the ends of the pin are no longer knurled, which reduces the stress on the plastic shoulder hinge. This seems to have greatly reduced the number of incidents of shoulder cracking. I'd just like to state though on the 20 or so V2 VF-1 toys I have on display, ech one transformed several times, I have yet to experience any cracking or stress marks on the shoulder hinges. My advice, just enjoy the toy and don't be scared of transforming it at all. Graham

I think I spotted an armoured VF-11 twice in the video. Graham

Still hoping for a cannon-fodder VF-25 brownie. You would think that would be a no-brainer for Bandai, given that it is a simple repaint of the VF-25G. Personally, I doubt we will see a completely redesigned DX VF-25. I really do hope we get a VF-171/171EX and VF-27 DX though. Graham

Great job Sketchley. Most interesting. Graham

Been playing Sad Sniper Ex for about 7 hours now and can defeat it more frequently, but still only getting Bs or Cs. Any tips for quickly defeating Brera? Graham

These days I seldom keep boxes, due to lack of space. Most of the time they get thrown out. Graham

Also picked up Great Mechanics DX 9. As others have mentioned, the cover is great and maybe the text contains some new information (I don't know, not being able to read Japanese). However, the lineart is nothing new that hasn't been published in a dozen other books and the quality of the lineart to be honest is not that great. Many of the pics have been enlarged to the point where the lines show obvios jagged edges. Graham

Is it just me, or does it Graham

I can't stand it either. In fact, I'm convinced they mixed up the word order of the site name and in fact it should be called 'It Ain't Cool. Graham

Err.....not really. While the overall silhouette may be similar, apart from the gunpod, the VF-17 and VF-171 share no identical parts. Toys of the two would require 100% different tooling. Graham

OK, just thought I'd bet check to make sure. Graham

I see Captain America has already posted in this thread, so I'm presuming that this recast is being done with his full approval and permission? Graham

One thing that I don't think anybody has commented on so far, is that under the slip band on the cover, it says in English: The bit that says "stratosphere only", gives me hope that we will see a second volume on the VF-1 for space use. Graham

Never even heard of the original movie before. Graham

How much did you pay for yours? I'm looking to pick up a second one, but when I checked 188 Center in Wanchai today, it was HK$1,099, which seems a little high to me. Graham

Saw it last night. Definitely my favorite film of the year so far. Graham

Hi Guys, Here's a few quick photos of the new 1/60 VT-1 I snapped this morning. To be honest, I haven't transformed it yet, as it looks so good in fighter mode. No weapons included, but it does have hard points on the wings if you want to attach missiles. Graham

There are only 6 x VF-1 in the first wave. When does 6 out of 17 = 50%?????????? Graham

Looking forward to seeing this. It's not showing here in Hong Kong until earlier October though. Saw the 2 online trailers recently. Gotta say the alien ship looked very ID4 mothership-ish. Graham

Thanks. Checked and mine's a '2006', so as suspected, Hong Kong - region 3, which makes sense as I bought it in Hong Kong. Graham
