VF-19P and friends. Graham

A few more pics. Graham

My bundled VF-17D and also one more Super Pack set arrived from Ami Ami Yesterday. The VF-17D head definitely looks better in person than in photos. Stripes are very pale blue. Unfortunately, the cockpit was so tight, I broke the hinge opening it :(/> . Luckily I was able to glue it back, but dunno how long it will last. Anyway, beautiful toy. If I can scrape together the funds, I'm gonna buy one more. I know many may disagree, but I've always thought Macross 7 has the nicest looking VFs. Graham

Mine arrived from Ami Ami yesterday. Beautiful. No QC issues. Graham

I love the colour scheme on this. Graham

This thread needs more pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Graham

Yeah, it's great that Yamato were able to incorporate that feature. Graham

Shelf of Alto. Graham

Damn, snapped the head off one of the small pegs holding the wings on when trying to remove the left wing Luckily was able to glue it back on. The armour looks great. For those that were wondering, the thigh armour is secure in figher mode, it's only in battroid mode that it falls off easly. Graham

Just can't get enthused to buy the new Chronicles. As I've stated before, If they were just going to release 30 issues of all new material and name it 'Chronicle Part 2' or something like that, I'd be all over it. But really can't justify the money, space and time involved with collecting the whole thing over again. Graham

That'd have to be an awfully big dungeon to fit in the Quarter Graham

I'm all over this, love the fighter mode and love the game color scheme. Graham
-
Gonna have to live vicariously through everybody's photos. Finances are lousy at the right now, just can't afford all the Macross goodies coming out at the moment Graham

Damn, I can't even remember which online shop I placed my preorder with and whether I prepaid already or not, it's been so long.........Ha ha ha! I really should keep better track of my preorders. Oh well, no shipping notice or request for payment received yet. Graham

Well, the YF-30 at least still has it's beam gun pod, even if nothing else. But I still think the missile launcher having to pop up in fighter mode and then rotate 90 degrees so the long side is face-on (inducing more drag) in order to fire is pretty silly. Graham Graham

Based on the pics we've seen so far, the YF-30 seems a bit underarmed, especially compared with the YF-29. There does not appear to be any hip/wingroot guns. Although there are two things that could possibly be guns in the battroid's lower torso (see notes on attached pics). And no heavy beam cannon turret, unlike the YF-29. No arm shield, although perhaps the vertical stabilizers (tail fins) are strengthened and act in conjunction with pin point barriers, like on the YF-21/VF-22? And as there is no arm shield, that means no storage for a PPB Knife, unless it is stored elsewhere, such as in the lower leg. It looks like the large missile launcher pod has to be in the deployed position in fighter mode to fire missiles and even with strengthened Over-Technology materials, there is still going to be a speed limit at which it can safely deploy, which means no missiles if going too fast. Also, it would create a lot of drag in the firing position. To be honest, this missile pod seems extremely impractical for fighter mode. Possibly some micro-missile ports on the lower legs (see notes on attached pics), but not sure. If not, that woulkd seem to be another step backwards from the YF-29. Don't get more wrong, I love the look of the YF-30 in all three modes, especially fighter mode, but I'm just not liking that damn missile pod and the way it needs to deploy in fighter mode to fire.

My phone's screen is higher resolotion than my laptop, so it was much easier to read the word "SIEGFRIED" on my phone's screen. Graham

Notice on the Gerwalk and Battroid mode pics of the YF-30, it says SIEGFRIED 001 (or maybe 007) on the lower leg. Graham

Nice to see a VF-11 in the game play screen shots and a VF-171EX (although the VF-171EX had already been shown in the trailer). Although the game looks gorgeous, I'm still on the fence about buying it, until I know how hard it will be for people who can't read Japanese to play. With all the quest based missions, I suspect it will be much harder to muddle through, compared to the PSP games, even with GameFAQs guides. Graham

Great pic from Cracked.com. Love the warning label. Graham

Sketchley, Is Gamlin still in the military? Is he still a pilot? You mention his title 'Director Gamlin', Director of what? Can you elaborate please? Graham
-
Oh dear I had high hopes for this, as I love the book, but after watching the trailer, it's gone 'from must see at the cinema', to 'torrent eventually, if bored and nothing else to do or watch'. CGI Olympic sprinter zombies just don't float my boat. Fail and pass. Back to The Walking Dead. Nothing more to see here folks. Graham
-
I'm a little concerned why we have the VF-1 and VF-25 shown flying with Super Packs in atmosphere in fighter mode. Also, I really hope we get the full range of VFs, not just the meagre selection shown so far. Really want VF-17D/S, VF-19F/S, VF-22S, VF-11B/C/Full-Armoured and VF-171/171EX as well. Graham

This is probably what episode VII will end up looking like Is it just me, or does George have a "Oh, crap, WTF have I just done" kinda look on his face. Graham

Patience guys. All good things come to he who waits. Graham
