Presumably the reverse is true and Japanese or Asian PSPs will play US games without modification? Graham

I gave Yamato the following feedback, based on comments in this thread on the Macross Plus GN-U figures: - Overall the sculpts are good (better than Revoltech). The VF-11B's gunpod and hands are far too big (out of scale with the robot). The material used is very high quality. Paint application is good. Many complaints about lack of accessories (FAST Packs and a display stand). Revoltech include these at a cheaper price point. Articulation is very good, better than expected. However, without a display stand it is not possible to take full advantage of the articulation. Price point is a little on the high side. Packing design is nice, but the box is still a little oversize. They replied, that yeah, Japanese consumers have been giving exactly the same feedback. Graham

Hope we get a VF-17, VF-22 Max and VF-171. I'm guessing we'll get at least the first 2, as Gamlin and M7 era Max are shown in the article. After thinking about it, I'm sorta glad it's coming on the PSP. Buying a PSP will certainly be far cheaper than having to buy a new PS3 or X-Box360. Excuse my extreme ignorance on the subject, but is there any way to convert PSP games to play on a PS2? Graham

IMO the Revy YF-19 face has a really squashed look to it. If posed just right on the stands, the Revy's can look OK, but in standing pooses next to the GN-U's they just looked deformed IMO. Graham

OMG Fz109F!!!!!!! Graham

Damn, now I gotta buy a PSP. Graham

As well as being specific to the VF-1, 'Valk' or 'Valkyrie' is used in-universe as a general term for all VFs. Graham

That is a name that should not be invoked, not even in joking terms. Graham

Would like to know which has the more accurate translation (or interpretation) of a specific part of the carrot song, AiA or Shinsen? IIRC, AiA goes "Carrots love you, yeah!", where as Shinsen goes "This carrot loves you, yeah!" I prefer the AiA interpretation, but curious to know which one is technically more accurate. Graham

Seems like some fans in Japan have already started customising their GN-U's, improving the already great articulation, adding display stands, extra weapons and different paint jobs. See the attached pics. With their ABS parts & easily removable outer armor the GN-U's make a great base for customizing. I'm really diggging the Max VF-22 custom. Graham

Whoops, just realized I forgot page 8. Here it is. Graham

Whoa, that brings back memories. Showing your/our ages there. Graham

Chapter 6, page 5. Now I've gotta reboot my ancient PC as it's stopped speaking to my scanner. Back in a few mins with more scans. Graham

Apology accepted, it was a simple mistake. Let's move on people. Graham
