  1. While the VF-25F Alto DX and VF-25S Ozma DX where mostly only sold in specialist Japanese toy and hobby shops here in Hong Kong, I find it extremely interesting and heartening that the VF-25G Michael DX and RVF-25 Luca DX are being widely sold in many normal toy shops all throughout Hong Kong. I've had several surprises over the last few weeks, walking in to toy shops and toy/stationery shops even in remote parts of HK, where I would normally never expect to find any Macross toys, to find that they are stocking the two newer DX. It's just so nice to be able to walk into normal toy stores and find Macross toys on the shelves. Ah, reminds me of the mid-80s' again. Graham
  2. I plan to display the DYRL Max 1A in battroid mode with FAST Packs like in the opening battle in DYRL. Be cool to pose with a 1/60 Regult if Yamato ever makes one. For the DYRL Max 1S, I want to display it in fighter mode on a flexi stand with 4 x UMM-7 micro-missile pods on the wings, so I can imagining it flying over the sea on Earth, like in the scene where Kakizaki gets wasted.

    Heh, I can happily confirm it is NOT a V.2 1/48 VF-1. Not even Yamato are that crazy. Graham
  4. I'm gonna have to go with the majority and say that Battlefield Earth is the worst sci-fi movie ever. And I can't believe somebody added The Last Starfighter a few pages back. That is an 80s' classic. The Gunstar is such a cool ship. Graham
  5. Yeah, but Dolph Lungren's mad priest/assasin character was great in that movie. I would have totally paid to see a movie just about that character staring Dolph. Graham
  6. I actually like Fifth Element and sorta have a soft sport for the RE movies. I bought all of them on DVD. Never was into the games, so any lack of consistency doesn't bother me. Graham
  7. Hence, why it is often referred to as 'Star Trek the motionless picture. Graham
  8. Cool for those that like em', but not my thing. I'll pass. Graham
  9. Hah, "blame the toys", this is obviously a cunning plan instigated by your wife to get you to stop collecting toys. She's probably seeded the area around your toys with itching powder and as soon as you throw away your toys, the itching will 'mysteriously' disappear. Of course when you attempt to buy any new toys it will come back again. Cunning are the ways of women. Graham
  10. Actually, jenius has a review of the Kaiyodo and Movic variable VF-1 toys up on his Scorched Earth Toys website, surprised he didn't mention it. Graham
  11. I got to try transforming that at Wonderfestival a couple of years ago. It was incredibly fiddly, extremely lose and had no locking at all that I can recall. From what I remember, many of the parts were joined together by wire or fishing line. Graham
  12. Yes, but they were non transformable. I still have them. Graham
  13. Max VF-1S has a black heat shield......WTF!!!!! It should be blue damn it! Sorry, I refuse to accept that black is anything but an animation error. Gonna have to pick up a second DYRL Max 1A when they come out, so I can I can snag the blue heatshield for the 1S. Oh well, planning to keep ithe Max 1S in fighter mode mostly anyway. Graham
  14. That's from last month's hobby mags. New mags should be out by this Friday, so hoping for some new pics. Graham

    Ya' missed the small print! Graham
  16. It was posted in another thread, possibly in the custom toys and model thread IIRC. Anyway, here's some more pics. First pic shows my very quick photoshop modifications taht I proposed to Yamato. Graham

    I second that. Graham
  18. Jasonc, has anybody ever told you, you bear a resemblance to a young Jean-Claude Van Damme? Graham
  19. .......checks in. Sees there's still no news of a complete Macross Frontier BGM collection CD. checks out.......... Graham has left the building.

    I don't hate the VF-4. But it's never really appealed to me either. There's lots of other VFs I'd prefer to see made before the VF-4. While I'd like to say I have that much influence at Yamato, I doubt what I say will effect their final decision too much in the end. Graham
  21. Definitely in the tens of thousands. Steel tooling is very expensive. Graham
  22. Spartan would require all new toooling. No tooling from the Tomahawk/Defender/Phalanx can be reused. Tooling is very expensive. Yamato is not sure the Spartan would actually make a profit. Graham
  23. Heh, unless I'm color blind or my laptop's display seetings are screwed up, I'm seeing it more as a dark blue than green. Graham

    yamato's next move

    VF-0D, VF-4 and one more VF (I'm not saying which) are on the short list for the next 1/60 PT Valk, to be released next year. VF-4 is currently least favorite though, so VF-4 fans don't get your hopes up too high. Graham
  25. Can somebody PM me where you guys are downloading it from. My Web-Fu is weak today and I can't find it at the usual sites. Graham
