  1. Graham mentioned earlier that the designer specifically left the two Kites and the Diamond Force logo off because he didn't think they looked very good.
  2. Dang, I'm bummed it took extra time for mine to ship. It's sitting here in Albuquerque at Fed Ex and I can't get it until Monday.
  3. Hmm, I guess my estimate it would arrive today is off. Though Fed Ex says it went through customs yesterday and now it's been "In Transit" for over 24 hours... I hope that doesn't mean it's lost.
  4. Well this is nice and unofficial but it kinda shows their sizes. http://macross2.net/...s-black2000.jpg
  5. Hmm, my 17 has shipped the exact same day my 19 did (same day of the week) and it's in the process of shipping from Anchorage at approximately the same time and same day of the week the 19 did as well. If everything holds out it should be here in Abq. by tomorrow afternoon just like the 19.
  6. Ordinarily I'm for any sort of Max Repaint scheme that could exist (VF-11 please!) however I feel like the Max scheme for the VF-4 is horrible looking.
  7. Let's see what the price is first. I'm leaning towards buying one but we will see. I'm curious abouthow they pull off proportions as well.
  8. Hey Graham, how does this thing feel in Battroid in terms of durability versus the 19S? (My ankle issues aside) I thought the 19 felt so solid it was as if it were manufactured to be Battroid only (really, all of the modes felt like the toy was designed to only be in that configuration.) Does the 17 also feel this sturdy?
  9. I think that is some pretty ridiculous over-engineering.
  10. Very tempting... but let's wait for some more info and a price. If I have to assemble it myself but that makes it cheaper I'm okay with that. Painting probably won't happen though. If it's like the Regult where I have to do the work plus pay through my ass I'm not going for it though.
  11. It beats manufacturer error. As long as the user didn't break something it can be corrected. We should be so lucky if manufacturer error occurs on these toys.
  12. After getting a few of those little Yamato 1/200 Gashapons of the VA-3 I think I'm a lot more interested in how this turns out then I already was.
  13. I had to push the arm pretty far in, and relatively hard, before it would click and stay in place. I'm not telling you to force it but it may just be really stiff and hard to lock in place. It took me quite awhile to get the arm to lock.
  14. Well, if it is discontinued I'm glad I sprung for a third C so I can display one in each mode. It's funny though, after getting the VF-19S (despite my issues with the crappy ankles) the 11 feels really cheap and old compared to how seemless and elegant the 19 is put together and transforms and handles.
  15. Ignoring the BRIGHT yellow stripes, I kinda like the fact there aren't markings because it makes it look more stealthy. That being said for $300+ they could have tossed us a bone and I know more than a few of you want it to look exactly like the show version without having to slap decals on it.
  16. Wow, Fed Ex dropped off my box today. From Anchorage to Memphis to Albuquerque in less than 12 hours!
  17. Does anybody here usually ship by FedEx from HLJ? I've noticed that most of the time my packages arrive through someplace like San Francisco and only take three days to be delieverd. However sometimes they seem to go through Anchorage, which is murder, because it takes an extra week to be delivered. Has anybody else had this happen?
  18. I'm just saying I'm not holding out hope. FB2012 wasn't even a full show, to say nothing of it being popular. It seems like a long shot Yamato would even bother with it. We would be happy to have it but I doubt they would be happy losing money on it.
  19. Can't wait for the ship date. I hope the ankles on this one are more kind to me then on my 19S. In other news, while next year is 2012, I highly doubt they're going to make a VF-4. Yamato is on a M7 kick and they've already hinted at a possible MAXL. I'm willing to bet that's a lot more likely. If they made me eat my own shoe and prove me wrong I'd be truely happy but until I see the announcement I'm going to be more realistic and go with another mac 7 mold announcement.
  20. That's good information to know and I didn't notice that before but I'm not sure that's the issue people are having concerning "gaps." There's a lot of different types of gaps people could focus on. I was curious which gap in particular people were having issues with.
  21. There's a lot of forest missing going on here. My comment in particular is about the fact the way the thing is designed makes for a funky looking Gerwalk. That's it as far as gappiness is concerned. It was merely an observation.
  22. I realize i just went on about Gerwalk being "gappy" but what sort of "gappiness" is it you're concerned with?
