It's not just the bad grammar and incorrectly named chracters that are the problem with the various Taiwan and HK bootleg DVDs, it's also that they really mess up the translation of what is said about the AFOS and protoculture. Graham

What about beer? Graham

IIRC, there are only three new Tenjin Macross box arts not in the book: - SV-51 w/Boosters. VF-0A/S with Ghost. VF-0S Battroid. That's not enough for a new book yet. Or am I forgetting some? Graham

Should have some definite info by Friday. Graham

I'd go for fansubs. All the boots I've seen have terrible subs. Graham

Added a Winter WonderFest 2006 page, which has larger versions of the pics SaveRobotech took. Graham

The Tuna is taking a well deserved vacation. Read this thread for details. Graham

I notice the VF-0S can keep it's gunpod in fighter mode when attached to the stand, unlike the 1/48 VF-1 toys. Graham

I've been told that the pilots will be colored differently. Graham

Eh? That conflicts with my info which is from a pretty reliable source, which says they are the Low Vis 2 & Stealth color schemes. Graham

I've seen better photos of the Stealth and Low-Vis 2 (AKA camo Valk) and they look much nicer. The Camo Valk looks great in fighter mode IMO. Yes, the Camo Valk paint scheme was inspired by Vietnam War era jets. Graham

If they weren't shown, or if nobody took pics, I'll see if I can at least get permission to describe them Graham

Last Friday I was told that Yamato would have the Stealth and Low Vis 2 on display at Wonder Fest as well as the recolor Macross stands and the VF-0S. I don't know if something changed between Friday and Sunday though. SaveRobotech was supposed to be going and taking pics. He hasn't posted in this thread yet. Hopefully he got some pics. but just hasn't had time to post them yet though. Graham

Yamato were supposed to show the Low Vis 2 & Stealth at Wonder Fest. Graham

BTW, the title Low Vis 2 is somewhat misleading. Graham

I'm pretty sure it's only on Sunday 19th Feb. Graham

I've just created a simple page for the Garland toy, where I plan to post all news and photos. While I know it's not Macross, a lot of us here including the long-lost Shawn are Megazone 23 fans. Graham

Also remember that Macross Plus is set, what 32 years(?) ahead of Macross Zero and the YF-21 & YF-19 are far more advanced designs and probabably stronger and tougher than the VF-0 and likely to have a far higher maximum safe speed at which they can transform as well. Graham

I seriously doubt we'll see any 1/60 VF-0 variants at this Wonder Fest. I mean the VF-0S is not even out yet. I would think Yamato would want to promote the VF-0S a bit more first and wait for it to be released before pushing any new variants. Graham

It is actually mentioned in the anime that the VF-0 is going too fast to transform at the point. I can't remember if it's something Shin says or whether it flashes up as a warning on the HUD though. Have to watch that scene again. I would imagine that all VFs have a maximum safe speed for transforming in atmospheric flight, no matter how tough they are. Graham

Thanks, that'll do it's clearer than the scan on Starshipmodler. Graham

Could somebody please do me a larger scan, say 1200 pixels wide at 300dpi of this page of the Hasegawa YF-19 instruction sheet please. If you can help out, PM me and I'll give you an email address to send the pic to. Thanks, Graham

Make sure to take plenty of pics. Graham

What's wrong with the current VF-0S pic? I think it's great. Graham

I'm hoping to have more info and have clearance to release that info by tomorrow. Stay tuned. Graham
