  1. Just got a call, mine showed up about two hours ago. Can't wait to get home (and finish my 2 hours of exercise) before playing with it.
  2. I got one of my 11C's on discount from HLJ but it sure wasn't 130. I think I got it for 150 or 160. I wish I had grabbed two at the time.
  3. The main rifle does fit into the leg though it's through a hatch in the back behind the knee instead of popping out the side like the animation.
  4. I'd have to say it's probably my 1/60 V2 Yammie VF-1A Max. He was always my favorite character and I was never able to get any sort of VF toy when I was a kid (not even a Transformers knock-off) so it meets two goals at once.
  5. Anxiously awaiting mine while it sits in customs in LA right now. It shouldn't take too long to get from California to New Mexico but it's the "quality" of service here in Albuquerque that has me the most worried. I wish it were coming Fed Ex.
  6. Look at those 3 C's! I wish I had a third one... You know, thinking about it (and looking at your little collection) Yamato has done an amazing job recreating every line as full as possible. WE've got the 19S and F coming (plus the P), 17S and D coming, plus they're thinking about a 17T and 11Kai. Other than the VF11 Protect Armor and the VF-5000 that's the ENTIRE Macross 7 lineup. That's impressive.
  7. My payment is in too. I hope it shows up before next weekend!
  8. Does that mean this thing is officially released and I can eagerly await my shipment from Amiami?
  9. I guess the people who called it a "half-assed effort" turned out to be vindicated.
  10. What did you use to plug the screw holes? The surface looks immaculate.
  11. When the show was first being discussed they were very clear they weren't going to completely adhere to the Comic Book story because they didn't want to retread old ground and because they wanted to give the readers something different to look forward to and be surprised by. You can argue they've done a bad job at this so far but it was never a secret they were going to deviate.
  12. Does anybody know if Yamato was at, and was showing off some of this stuff, at the recent All Japan Plamodel Hobby Show this past weekend?
  13. They say "Late November" and Yamato stuff usually ships the last Friday of the Month so it's a safe bet somewhere around the 25th of November.
  14. Hard to tell if it's the angle of the photo though. One is up higher than the other. There isn't a big difference there. The color on the left looks a lot better IMO.
  15. I had already pointed out earlier that on the CAD drawing from head on we saw several months ago that the chest piece was lower. I'm wondering if this prototype can't pull that off right now because it was planned to be lower from what I can tell.
  16. Well, I pre-ordered. Luckily I'm paranoid about funds and largely save everything I earn so I've got quite a bank account going. I feel bad for some of the others who aren't so fortunate.
  17. I went back and checked out the old CAD photo of Battroid Mode from head-on. I know things can change between the CAD and implementation but all of the proportions look exactly the same. The only thing different is that, while the very bottom of the chin is covered, it appears the chest piece on the CAD sits lower then in these photos. I'm wondering if this prototype isn't quite sitting correct. It doesn't appear to be in fighter mode either. But I'm willing to bet that chest piece isn't set quite where it should be, which should make a least a small difference.
  18. I'm hoping for the end of this week so it'll have a week to reach my house by my birthday.
  19. It's already been pointed out that the lineart anime52k8 posted is not official and isn't accurate. Totally right, I think it's a brilliant idea and they should do it.
  20. In the anime I'm not fond of that Gerwalk at all. Based on the two Gerwalk Stances (arms up and down) I almost prefer that mode to the other two on this toy though. I expected this to be the first toy I would keep primarily in Fighter or Battroid because I don't like it's Gerwalk configuration but I'm not getting that feeling with these prototype pics. I really think that side-profile shot is suffering from the fact it's a resin kit that doesn't hold together well. You can see huge gaps in the shoulder area. The nose is obviously dislodged and drooping in multiple spots. It also appears the legs are not attached at the back and are hanging away from the backpack as well. I think it will look a lot tighter (obviously still a little chunky) in fighter mode with the final toy.
  21. Based on that prototype pic you can also tell that it's really isn't holding together that well either. Look at all of those seems and the whole front of it looks like it's dropping. Tighten up those joints and I bet that will make it look more slim.
  22. I love my two bright white VF-11C's. It has very clean lines. I never got a B because I'm not a huge fan of the color scheme. I would get a VFX-2 Jolly Rogers Scheme as well as a Max and Milia if they made them though.
