  1. Yeah, surprised me too. I did want a VF-0D for many years, but kinda just lost interest somehow. Maybe I'll pick one up if they do the standard grey version. Graham
  2. I have to say, I haven't been as excited about a Valk toy in a long, long time. I passed on the Ozma YF-29, the Percival, the VF-0D, the Arcadia VF-1J w/GBP, the greenie VF-27, the RVF-171 and the 171 girly markings version. Only recent Valk I've been mildly excited about and preordered is the VF-19 Advanced. However, I'm hugely excited about the VF-2SS. Really wanted someone to make a transforming toy of this for so long. Anyway, this thread needs some new pictures. Graham
  3. I wanna see if there is still a big gap between the shield and legs in fighter mode, like in the earlier pics.
  4. I think this would have been my ultimate toy if the ankle joints were tighter (they are far, far looser than all my many Yamato VF-19 toys) and with no high speed mode, which I really hate, as the wings don't hold fully forward swept position in fighter mode, especially loaded with missiles and tend to creep backwards.
  5. Damn, saw a new post dated today and thought it might be new pics from the Shizuoka Hobby Show
  6. Did anybody review this thing? I don't think I saw any reviews yet. Graham
  7. As long as it locks together well, is not a froppy mess, and doesn't self-destruct ala the 171, I'll be happy just to finally get a transforming VF-2SS toy after 23 years of waiting. Even though the sculpt is not perfect. I'm not gonna nit pick too much.
  8. checks in, still no pics of new Valks or new characters, checks out.
  9. 1) No ankle ball joints. 2) Cheaper MSRP. 3) More tampo printing. 4) Smaller boxes. 5) Standing pilot and crew figures.
  10. Back in the day, I often purchased 3 or 4 or certain models, so that I could display one in each mode and have one as a spare in case of any breakage. I've stopped buying multiples for quite a while and now I'm only buying singles and only of ones I really liked. I've even stopped buying every release like I used to, I skipped the RVF-171, Arcasia VF-19Kai, the Percival and the VF-0D. The only coming release that might tempt me to by two is the VF-2SS. Graham
  11. Shouldn't the thread title be changed, as it's kinda way past January.......LOL
  12. Saw it yesterday with my son. Thought it was OK, but not as good as the first Avengers movie. Much darker and kinda depressing in places. Don't think I'll watch it again at the cinema, but I'll probably end up buying the Blu-ray. Out of recent Marvel movies, I enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy and Winter Soldier more. Graham
  13. I got the same delayed until June notice from CD Japan as well.
  14. I threw out all 4 of my 171 in disgust about 6 months ago (2 x CF & 2 x Alto).

    Sunwards Valkyries

    Now there's a name I've not heard in a long while. Heh, and I think I wrote the text for that flyer, apart from the copyright notice. IIRC, the best friend of Yamato's CEO was going to be put in charge of Sunwards. Graham
  16. Yeah, first movie was fresh and fun. The sequels, I literally can't sit throgh them withough nodding off. Happens everytime I try, i'm soon.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
  17. As we are getting close to the release date, I'm hoping Bandai will release some new publicity photos soon of the final production item. Graham
  18. So excited for this. I think Comander Wolffe may also be with Rex. I think I spotted a clone with one eye there as well. Have to rewatch the trailer again (for the umpeenth time). This trailer for season 2 excited me just as much as new Force Awakens trailer. This is going to be a great year for Star Wars fans. Graham
  19. Possible those tabs sticking out of the top of the battroid's chest plate may be able to retract in and they just forgot to retract them for the photo shoot. Graham
  20. What issue?????
  21. This is a must buy for me, I've wanted a perfect variable toy of the VF-2SS since first watching Macross II in 1992. I don't care that it doesn't look 100% lineart accurate, it looks good enough and close enough to me. Heck my favourite Macross toy is still the 1/65 Bandai VF-17D/S, which is far from anime accurate, but is just so rugged and fun and quick and easy to transform. Anyway, I don't see any other company tackling the VF-2SS. Graham
  22. While I loved the original Tron movie as a kid, I felt Tron Legacy was pretty meh. When I finally got round to watching it on DVD, it took me three evenings to finish it, as the first two evenings watching it it put me to sleep. Not really keen to see a Tron 3. Graham
