    Loved the new trailer. Super excited for this (and Rebels season 2 as well).

    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

    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

    What issue?????

    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

    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

    Gonna give Aldnoah Zero a try also after I finish Knights of Sidonia. Any other recent good (real robot) mecha anime recommedations? No Gundam please. Graham

    Watched it with my son, we both thought it was fairly funny. Definitely had its moments, especially in the first half. I wouldn't have paid to see it, but then I didn't.....hahah. Graham

    Just finished the first episode of Argevollen, but really didn't enjoy it. I'll probably give it one more episode and then likely give up, unless it improves drastically. This is really mecha anime by the numbers, nothing we haven't seen done far better, many time before elsewhere. And while the mecha designs and animation is OK, the character animation is absoutely atrocious. I'm guessing the animation was farmed out to the lowest bidder. It was really jarring to me how badly the characters were animated and moved. I may be spoilt, because I just watched the gorgeoulsy animated Knights of Sidonia before watching this steaming pile of horse dung. Graham Up to episode 9 on Knights of Sidonia and loving everything about it so far, the story, the animation, the mecha, the characters, the combat. It's so fresh. Graham

    I think it was pretty much a given that Kawamori would be doing the mecha designs. I don't know about anybody else, but it never even crossed my mind that there was a possibility that someone else would do the mecha designs. Graham

    Haven't watched any new anime since Macross Frontier, there's seriously been nothing that even looked remotely interesting to me. However, I've finally decided to give Knights or Sidonia and Argevollen a try. Graham

    Regarding the stormtrooper kit, are all the black bits that should be black actually black? I mean like the eye lenses, mouth vents etc. Or do they need painting? Graham

    Hoping for some firm news soon, such as pics of the mecha designs. We've never been let down by the music of Macross, so a singer is a singer is a singer as far as I'm concerned But I wanna see how the VFs look. Graham

    KInda disapointed the X-wing kits were not completely pre-coloured. I would have loved a detailed X-wing kit I could have just snapped together that looked good, that didn't require painting. Weren't the old Bandai Star Trek kits completely pre-coloured? Graham

    ScarJo was obviously chosen for the following reasons: 1) She's a star at the moment, thus a hot property. 2) She's experienced playing a similar secret agent/action character (Black Widow in the Marvel movies). 3) She's got big tits, same as Major Kusanagi. Nuff said! Graham

    Well, that was pretty painless. Used CD Japan. Graham

    So no doubt in the next installment, we'll see the Enterprise drifting Graham

    Saw these in person on Saturday when I visited the Toy Soul exhibition in Hong Kong. They are pretty nice. I also picked up some of the same manufacturers Acid Rain toys, which are amazing.

    I love the look of both the old X-wing and the new X-wing. Nobody ever accused Star Wars of making sense Graham

    So looking forward to having toys of the new X-wing designs to zoom around the house. I really hope we get the rumored spin-off X-wing movie, as long as it's not based on those awful (IMO) EU books. Want to see more dog fights. Graham

    Need a VF-2SS with SAP. Such a gorgeous design. That's about the last VF that I really want. Graham

    Just came across these cheap Korean Knock-off SD Valk model kits in the toy section of the Yata department store in Hong Kong. First time to see these. Graham

    Finally got round to seeing this with the wife and son a few weeks ago. We all really enjoyed it. I'll probably rewatch it again fairly soon. Graham

    Stormtroopers can be any race or colour, although the Empire generally prefered Human males. Stormtroopers are generally NOT Clone Troopers. By the time of episode VII, all the original Clone Troopers would have died out, as they had accelerated aging and aged twice as fast as normal humans. Also, it's been stated that no new Clone Troopers were bred after the end of the Clone Wars. Heck, by the time of episode IV, it's doubtful if there were any Clone Troopers in active service due to their accelerated aging. Any Stormtroopers seen in episodes IV, V, VI and likely VII have either been recruited (or possibly conscripted) from the civilian populace and trained at an Imperial Academy. The recent episode of Star Wars Rebels "Breaking Ranks', further confims that Stormtroopers are recruited from the civilian population. And yes, since April this year, Disney has basically disowned the Expanded Universe, which is a good thing in my opinion, as while some of it was good, most was pretty dire. Only the current 6 movies (+ VII when it comes out) + the Clone Wars animated series is now considered canon.

    No interest in buying a Bandai VF-1, but I'd love a VF-2SS with SAP. Graham
