  1. Received my first release 30th anniversery YF-29 yesterday from Nippon-Yassan. Liking it much more than expected. Colour scheme looks really good. Just wish it had the skulls on the tail fins as well. I know Nippon-Yassan has received some flak recently for their packing, but the packing on mine was fine. Sturdy enough shipping carton, with no damage and full of pink paper to protect the toy box from moving around inside the carton. Can't really ask for more. One think I noticed is that the wing tabs seem to lock into the lower legs much more securely than my YF-29 Alto. One of my many pet peeves with the Alto version is that the locking between the lower legs and wings in fighter mode is not secure enough and the legs are always unlocking and droooping down. I'll have to compare the tabs on the two toys later and see if any improvements were made. Graham
  2. My son and I really enjoyed both seasons of 'The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes'. Graham
  3. Should be around the middle of the series I think. After City 7 gets fold-jacked by the Varauta and Battle 7 are trying to locate them. Graham
  4. Can anybody get a screen cap of the VF-17 with fold booster from the TV series. Can't remember which ep. Graham
  5. It's been a few years since I last watched MD7, but I don't recall any teal VF-17 with the M7 fleet. IIRC, the teal VF-17 was the one Lisa stole from the pirates. Graham
  6. Diamond Force also used Fold Boosters in the tv series. Graham
  7. I know we all asked for and wanted removable missiles, but after just ten minutes with this thing only in fighter mode, (not even attempted to start transformation yet), I'm already ready to glue the damn missiles on! Graham
  8. I'll see your 1,000 posts and raise you another 11,000 + (+ another 3,000 something on the old boards) I transform better when drunk.........hic! Graham But as the Waifu always says, it's quality, not quantity.......haha. Graham
  9. 3 pints of cider drunk in quick succession, should I attempt my first transformation of the VF-4G? Graham
  10. For static display, you can just sit a Fold Booster on the VF-17 I did that before when the VF-17S was released. Pretty sure I posted some pics as well. Of course if you want to pick it up and woosh it around, it's gonna move around or fall off.........hahah. Graham
  11. Just received my VF-4G at the office, together with my second VF-17D w/Super Parts (Yay, my Diamond Force is now complete!). Only had time to take a quick peek at the VF-4G in the box, but gotta say it looks very plain. Then again, I've never been a huge VF-4 fan. Graham
  12. I've imported CDs, DVDs and books many times from Amazon.co.jp. As far as I know, the only things they won't ship internnationally are toys and games. Same with bloody Amazon.com and Amazon UK as well Graham
  13. My VF-17D is tighter than my VF-17S. Graham
  14. Emerald Force. Graham
  15. Curious, which is heavier the VF-17S/D or the VF-4G, as both toys use a lot of die-cast. Can somebody who has both weigh them? Graham
  16. Damn, just consulted the lineart and realised I put the UN Spacy Kites on the wrong location on the FAST packs. Gotta redo them now. Graham
  17. Not too bothered about the tight shoulder, as I prefer fighter mode for the VF-19P. Transformed to battroid mode once, but think fighter mode looks the best for this. Love the lok of the leg fins and canards and overall advanced look of the VF-19S/F/P series, compared to the lumpy and less streamlined YF-19/VF-19A. My perfect 19 toy would be an all grey low-vis VF-19P with a VF-19F head I'd also kill for a low vis or white VF-19F. Graham
  18. Soon. Waiting for second VF-17D to arrive from HLJ. Graham
  19. Had the same thing happen with my VF-19P. The left shoulder was so tight to unlock in fighter mode that the shoulder armour popped off. Graham
  20. 1) VF-17D. My all time favorite VF. 2) VF-19S/F (can't choose between them). So sleek and sexy. I always imagine myself flying through the clear blue sky in one of these. 3) Hikaru's VF-1S Strike Valk from DYRL, the Valk that made me fall in love with Macross. Honourable runners up: 4) VF-11B/C 5) Alto's VF-25F 6) VF-171 CF 7) VF-0S Graham
  21. Missed it also Finally got into the colour scheme. Oh well, there's still 3 or so physical shops with stock of the first release here in HK at Ins-Point Center, but all selling for HK$2,680 (US$345) Not sure I wanna pay that much. Graham
  22. Just snagged 1 at CD Japan, but limited to one per customer. I think they still have some. Go go go! Graham
  23. 100% not Yamato's fault, as it's the anime colour, but I do wish the head lasers were painted grey or white on the VF-19P. Still, an easy mod. Graham
  24. And a few more pics, just because the VF-17 doesn't seem to be getting much love here . Graham
