  1. Yep, I know, understand and agree with all that. But I'm still curious where the ammunition is physically stored though and I'm hoping Kawamori actually did factor space for ammunition storage in his design.
  2. I'm definitely gonna be buying the fighters.
  3. I've been thinking about ammunition storage for the VF-31 arm cannons, specifically where the heck is the ammunition stored? We know that the arm cannons are shell firing, not beam weapons. This has already been confirmed by Kawamori. Initially I thought the ammunition magazine for the arm cannons may be stored inside the arm shields, but this has since been discounted by the recent 1/72 Bandai model kit CAD renders which show that the folding knife is in fact stored inside the shield. So, this got me to thinking where else could the ammunition be stored? Now even though the arm cannons are only single barreled weapons, I doubt very much that there is room inside the slender white color arm cannon nacelles for a helical wrap-around-the-barrel magazine like in the VF-1's GU-11 Gunpod. To me, assuming the VF-31's arm cannon is between calibre 30mm to 55mm I doubt there is room for more than just the barrel and breach/firing/extraction/ejection mechanism inside the arm cannon nacelle. Initially, this left me a bit stumped, but then I remembered that the hands do not actually retract into the forearms on the VF-31, so a portion of the forearm interior could possibly serve as the storage location for the ammunition for the arm cannons.

  4. Yes, we have seen the NUNS logo on the VF-171. Attached screenshot from Mission 0.89. I haven't gone through mission 1 and 2 to check yet. Graham
  5. Only watched the opening and ending so far. Hopefully will have time to download and watch episode 2 in the next few days. Still don't like the songs. I just don't find them catchy at all. Far prefer the songs in Frontier to Delta. Liked quite a bit of the opening animation, as quite a lot of VF stuff going on. The 31 is really growing on me, can't wait for the toys. Disliked the ending animation as no VF stuff going on. Graham
  6. Only thing I didn't really like about Genysis were the actor they hired to play Kyle Reese. I thought he didn't really fit the role and also the silly schoolbus flipping scene.
  7. One of my complaints with the movie was that the transmuted-Zod-corpse-monster looked too much like a generic LotR movie CGI Troll.......LOL! Actually, I didn't know this was supoosed to be Doomsday, until I read it online after seeing the movie. I'm not as familiar with DC as I am Marvel, what can I say.
  8. How about a spoiler tagged written summary of episode 2, or a transcript of the podcast for those that don't have time to listen to pod casts or just don't like listening to podcasts?
  9. Any text transcript or written summary of the episode 2 review?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I actually really like the head on 03. It's now a must buy for me.
  11. Just saw the first John Wick and loved the gun fight choreography. Can't wait to see the 2nd movie, especially after seeing the recent YouTube video of Keanu doing 3-gun training/practice with Taran Tactical.
  12. Looks awesome. lots of FN SCARs in the movie.......yay!
  13. Likely won't see this, as my son who is nearly 12 has grown out of Disney cartoons. I know nothing about this movie, only that on Facebook today, I've been seeing comments that Furries are really into this movie......hahah.
  14. Given that the stand-alone SAP is pretty cheap, I'll probably buy that.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    This thread needs moar pics!!!!!!!!
  16. For me it's not the plastic quality or finish that is the deal breaker, its the poor locking of the tabs in fighter mode. I'll try clear nail polish on this at the weekend and see if it helps.
  17. Exactly, I've damaged ABS on some toys before using super glue
  18. Yeah, we don't have Future here either, so I'll probably try nail polish on the connectors too. Some people have suggested using superglue, but that makes me very nervous.
  19. Anybody know when the TomyTec Delta kits are coming out?
  20. I'm hoping against hope that it's like Bandai's old Star Trek kits, that had all the detail asks colour printed on. But for ¥500, my expectations are not high.....hahaha
  21. I know that's not the final "approved by Kawamori scheme" yet, but I'm really wondering if it is kinda generally representative of what the kit is gonna look like out of the box, or whether it is supposed to represent the kit after it's been painted up?
