  1. New pics just seen on Facebook on Macross Fans United page, posted by Stone Cheung. In my opinion, both modes look pretty bad. 😓
  2. After seeing this post, I decided to check all my old Yamato VF-19/Kai/F/S/P toys. Some of which have been in their boxes since I got them and some of which I used to display but have been in storage in Ziploc bags inside plastic storage boxes for about 6 or 7 years. I found exactly the same break on one on my former display VF-19Kai and display VF-19S and also on one unboxed VF-19Kai.
  3. Hopefully Bandai have made some tweaks to the YF-21 sculpt, do do what they can to improve the look, as much as is possible. But realistically, a perfect transformation YF-21 toy that looks anime accurate in both Fighter and Battroid mode is an impossibility. It's really a design that only can be made to look good in either Fighter mode or Battroid mode, but not both. Just the limitations on having to base the toy on mid-90s hand drawn art. The pics of the upcoming YF-21 HG kit have really shown that the only way to get a good looking and anime accurate YF-21 in all 3 modes is through parts swapping. But I'll still buy 1 or 2 of the DX YF-21😅
  4. I actually, love the way the Super Ghosts look on the VF-31AX in fighter mode. To me it has quite an X-Wing vibe to it in Fighter mode. I just wish the DX Super Ghost kit had included the double beam cannon from the Armoured Pack, to recreate the look from the final fight in the Zettai Live movie. I don't really want to have to buy a second Armoured Pack just so I can have the beam cannon to attach to my VF-31AX with Super Ghosts.
  5. Not exactly clothing, but I just picked up these 2 Velcro patches today.
  6. As much as I love Macross, I'm not sure I could bring myself to wear a Macross themed watch, even though this one is fairly subtle.
  7. Really? This pic shows it built without the super parts.
  8. Watched the first two episodes so far. Enjoyed them. Looking forward to finding time to watch the 3rd episode.......life is hectic at the moment.....sigh Here in Hong Kong, it's showing on Prime Video.
  9. VF-1 in Blender??????? Why? Making shake or smoothie for Zentradi? 🤣
  10. I love Let's Fire & Second Fire albums. Still listen to them all the time.
  11. Completely disagree about Macross Music being forgettable. I've been listening to Macross music since the 80s, have a pretty big collection of Macross CDs and still regularaly listen to the music of SDF Macross, DYRL Macross II, Macross 7, Macross Plus, Macross Frontier and Macross Delta. The only Macross music which to me is forgettable is that from Macross Zero. There was really nothing that grabbed me.
  12. Defintely gonna order this.
  13. Back in the day, over the decades I spent so much time playing Scrambled Valkyrie, VF-X, VF-X2, VF-X2 Special Edition, DYRL, VO, M3, Macross Plus Game Edition, Macross Ace Frontier, Macross Ultimate Frontier, Macross Triangle Frontier, Macross Last Frontier and M30 (I'm sure there's a few other games I've forgot as well). Still have the games, but Unfortunately, my Nintendo Super Famicon, PS1, Saturn, PS2 and PSP are all long gone or died years ago. My PS3 is just about hanging on, but starting to glitch. So yeah, I'm just happy there is a new Macross game coming out for the PS4/PS5 and Switch. Yeah, I'd prefer a proper air combat simulator type game, but I'll take whatever I can get. 😅
  14. While, I'd love an Ace Combat type Macross game, we may be waiting a loooooooooong time, if ever. So I'm just happy we are getting any Macross game.
  15. No, the Super Ghosts do not have landing gear. So, yeah stand only or attached to 31AX.
  16. I just had a quick look this morning, before heading off to work and it doesn't seem that there is enough room to fit the main boosters on the under-wing hard points, if you already have the Super Ghosts attached to the mid-wing hard point. Those Super Pack main boosters are pretty damn large.
  17. In my opinion Baylan, Shin and Anakin were the only good things about the show. Overall I'd give it a 3.5/10. I found live-action Sabine and Hera pretty insufferable. And sorry, as a big fan of Clone Wars and Rebels, I just don't think Rosario Dawson does a good job of portraying Ahsoka. For my Ahsoka and Sabine fix, I'll stick to Clone Wars & Rebels. It's such a pity Ray Stevenson passed away. I would have loved to see more of him as Baylan.
  18. Hmm........interesting question. As Twitch mentioned. both the main boosters and Super Ghosts are supposed to attach to the hidden hard point where the wings fold, so you can attach one but not both at the same time. However, I haven't checked if the main boosters can connect to the underwing hardpoints. I'll have to try. If yes, it may be possible to have the main boosters mounted under the wings and the Super Ghosts on the wing fold hard point. However, the main booster are pretty damn large, so even if they can plug into the under wing hardpoints, there may not be enough space for the main boosters when the wings are partially folded to attach the Super Ghosts.
  19. Arghhh........Bandai.....hurry up and release the Arad VF-31AX, That's my most wanted Macross toy at the moment.
  20. Wow, that VF-1S head sculpt looks terrible, especially the skinny chin. Hard pass.
  21. Frontier had really awesome BGM and songs. While Delta doesn't really have much BGM, the songs have really grown on me. As far as the Delta anime goes though 100% prefer the 2 Delta movies to the TV series.
  22. I never could really get into the instrumental music of Zero. But Frontier has some absolutely awesome instrumental BGM tracks, especially on the Macross Frontier OST 1 CD, including Private Army, Alto's Theme, Tally Ho and The Target.
