Dyson's Chicken

It is clear parts. You can clearly see the clear yellow add-on runner in the pictures on 1999.co.jp.

Hey--so it is! Judging from the shade of yellow in the picture, I guess I'll have to see if I'll need to modify it somehow.

But at the very least, it wasn't just clear plastic like the visor on the first Alto kit, although that was nothing that some tinting couldn't take care of.

Yup. I just got a shipping notice from Hobby Link Japan this morning for the Michael VF-25G.

I'm stoked! All this while I was sleeping.

And to think that I literally just started working on the Hasegawa YF-19 last night. Well, I guess I know what I'll work on next.

It will be intersting to see how Bandai handled the eye on the head on this one. I'm guessing it will be a metallic sticker.

That Regult is mind bendingly rad! Well done!

The amount of work needed to put together one of these kits is the only thing stopping me from buying a whole SMS Skull Squadron.

Building up the VF-25F Alto made me learn alot but I might not have the stamina to build another kit. Sigh.

At least until the Armoured Ozma comes out.

Honestly, when the end product is as awesome as these kits are, it's totally worth the effort. I've built both the VF-25F and the VF-25S in the matter of a month and a half, and while they might not exactly be Hobby Japan worthy masterpieces, they are still amazing. Don't be discouraged. They are totally worth some blood, sweat, and tears.

I can hardly wait until the VF-25G comes out.

I've also recently have seen a set that was released by FX. I have heard of their stuff in the past, but just wanted some confirmation as to whether I should get those or not.

Somebody please help me out there!!!

This is my first post on this forum, and I had some input, so here goes:

I just recently got the FX DVDs of Macross Frontier and while I've only really watched in their entirety Episodes 1-3, I scanned over the rest of the discs to take a look at the picture quality and I have to say that they are really quite good. I noticed no pixelation or artifacting of the image. Now granted, I have a regular, non-HDTV, but the image quality I found to be as good as anything I've seen.

If I had any real criticism at all about them so far, it's with the subs. Sometimes they have an error where lowercase L's become lowercase I's (for ex: Alto becomes Aito.) Also, I'm very much used to watching subtitled stuff, but even I find that the subs sometimes are not on screen long enough to read them when the dialogue gets flying. Nothing that a quick rewind/rewatch can't fix.

Otherwise, a pretty awesome set for what I paid for it ($25), albeit, no extra Soundtrack disc. But this may be much better than the Malay one you have and I'd say the packaging is also pretty nice on this one.

My two pennies.
