  1. I don't have the Konig yet, but I imagine it's just the normal D-pad transform controls. Graham
  2. Can't be cost, just give the blueprints and a few junk parts to Aisha and she'll hammer you out a VF-19 or VF-22 in seconds :P Graham
  3. The question in the original post seems to be referring more to the state of the franchise rather than the state of the fandom. For the state of the fandom, it certainly seems very healthy IMO. Certainly here on Macrossworld and before that on AFM, Macross has long had a very active, loyal and devoted fanbase. I have to say the, level of friendliness, helpfulness, knowledge, intelligence and maturity is the best I have ever seen on any forum. As for the state of the franchise, well, that's where I'm a bit concerned. There's no new TV series or movie on the hozizon (that we know of), The Macross 30 game has already been released, Yamato toys has folded, Bandai's toy output is sporadic and limited, I fear the YF-30 DX is vapourware. Hasegawa's output is drastically reduced (no news for ages on their VF-25 kit). I do fear that we are passing out of the golden period of Macross that we have been enjoying for the past decade. While we do have some new things on the horizon, such as the upcoming Bandai VF-1 kit and the ongoing expanded Chonicles, I fear we are slowly lapsing into a quieter time. Graham
  4. DYRL = best anime movie ever IMO. Graham
  5. If the released a cannon fodder VF-25, I'd buy 3. Graham
  6. But remember fold quartz is purple and the canopy was supposed to be coated in fold quartz. (as per Sketchley's translation of the Macross Chronicle YF-29 pages). Graham

    Japan bound toys

    Last time I checked which was a few weeks ago, most shops were sold out. Graham Last time I checked which was a few weeks ago, most shops were sold out. Graham Last time I checked which was a few weeks ago, most shops were sold out. Graham

    Japan bound toys

    If a Yamato toy was sold without the Big West licensor sticker then it was illegally produced and sold by the factory without the knowledge of Yamato or Big West. It is relatively common for factories in China to do this. Yamato would commission a factory to make say 5,000pcs for example and supply the factory with 5,000 Big West stickers. The factory would then secretly produce a few hundred extra pcs which they would sell wholesale through there contacts in the toy industry. Graham

    Japan bound toys

    I've never noticed any difference in quality between toys bought in Japan and toys bought in Hong Kong. All Bandai and Yamato toys are made in factories in China before being shipped to the end desination, whether that be Japan or Hong Kong. Graham
  11. I'm just rewatching Frontier, probably for the 4th time and some episodes such as episode 12, Fastest Delivery still send shivers down my spine, they are just so good. Graham

    Macross 30

    Had a big smile on my face the first time I ran into Isamu last night Graham
  13. I'd really recommend you watch Macross Frontier, it's a great anime. Start with the series then watch the 2 movies. After watching the anime, you may have a better idea of which Frontier mecha you like more and what to buy. Graham
  14. Not a huge fan of Ozma's YF-29 in the PS3 Hybrid pack game as it can't use the back beam cannons except for special attacks (dunno about in Macross 30 as I don't have Ozma's YF-29 yet)and the head doesn't do much for me. I'd much prefer Isamu's YF-29 be made as a toy, that really looks awesome and hey it's Isamu. That said if Bandai made Ozma's I'd probably buy one anyway. Graham
  15. Tis' a sad state of affairs Come back Yamato, all is forgiven. We promise we'll buy more to keep you in business and we won't take you for granted. Graham
  16. Depends do you just want the game, or do you want the game plus all the extra material? In the end, that's something only you can decide. For me the extra material didn't interest me, I just wanted the game. Graham
  17. I've been thinking and wondering these past few days, are NY actually the ones buying up all the stock from other suppliers, thus creating this artificial shortage? Seems strange that NY is always able to secure so much stock where other online retailers can't. It would explain their higher than recommended retail pricing. (This post was aptly written while listening to Metallica's Master of Puppets ) Graham
  18. But to make things easy: http://red-shoulders.blogspot.hk/2013/03/macross-30-voices-across-galaxy-ps3.html?m=1 Graham
  19. Cough.......Zoroastres guide .......cough (search is your friend).I'm the opposite, 40 hours play and still only on story level 4.3. I wanna do all the Hunters Guild quests. Graham
  20. I think about US$900 for my 1/55 Strike Valk, back in the day. Graham
  21. Haha, thanks guys. Graham
  22. What the heck is a 'Nushateru'? I've got a quest to defeat ten of them, but I've no idea what they are??? Graham
  23. I definitely think the CF looks better without the armour. But I've ordered one set just for the wings and missiles, as in the TV series it's usually always shown with wing missiles. Graham
  24. I also received a payment request email from NY today, asking for payment as the toy will be released 'soon'. Graham
