  1. For me 3 was enough + Alto. I would get more VF-25A especially with how good the RVF QC seems to be so far. I hope that extends to all of the future 25 releases including the re-release of the 25F, although I have not had any problems with my older Renewal 25F. I cannot lie though, I really like the 171 as far as sleekness and looks go, but I refuse to buy any more of the CF's with how many problems people have had so far. You would think MW was just a drop in the pond compared to the rest of the world and the reports of defects are pretty high just sampling our board. I wonder what the real defect numbers are globally.
  2. I hope to god, I could use some enemy stuff badly.
  3. I actually have this book, I pre-ordered it before it came out. I have it packed away at the moment though.
  4. Are we talking about the 25F pre-order? NY's site still says 7/31.

    It's a trap!
  6. My bad, I assumed Bandai from that post because I did not know that Arcadia had Macross-F licensing. But yeah if I would have paid more attention to the part where Charger69 said "Hey Arcadia!" and talk of licensing issue LOL.
  7. I like my Alto 29 too, but yeah it is garish. I have him in battroid mode with Super Parts and am ok with it. Isamu's is the best looking so far though.
  8. I really like it also, but for some reason I don't see Bandai doing it is all.
  9. Thanks for the reply! Yeah I suspected that was the case, but if I can go direct that's even better. I have a friend in Japan I send stuff to that is a real slacker sometimes and I want things fast sometimes, but you know how that goes.
  10. Now if you could just have the crotch do that, you would have a nice crotch thrusting valk. Hey Duymon, does Surugaya ship direct to the US without a proxy or using Raku?
  11. I think it's happening because of this: #FFD700 (Hex) or 255, 215, 0 (RGB) I guess it is technically called "Golden" not "Gold" but #FFDF00 is golden yellow, now to get back on topic...... I hope these don't make it to the clearance stage. I highly doubt it anyways as this thing is going to be hot sh1t. I like the fact that Bandai is striking back with the Isamu 29, they are challenging Arcadia. Competition only benefits the consumer with more options and hopefully pricing battles down the road. Not sure though Arcadia can compete on the MSRP levels of Bandai though as Arcadia is a smaller company and Bandai is a juggernaut in the toy industry. That would actually be a downgrade for Ozma...... But I do wonder what did Ozma fly before the 25 and now the 29?
  12. Hrmmm this is looking like on of those "Mon" (Pokemon, Digimon) series shows but with Gundam. It even kinda reminds me of a Yugioh type anime also. I will totally pass on this one. And up spring 2014 feels like I have been watching Unicorn for 3 years..... actually it may have well been 3 years already?
  13. LOL, you will be here anyways on opening order night like me I am sure. I am actually glad I ordered the other 2, now I can have a display of all 3 modes. I may even get 2 of these though anyway.

    I got my notice for payment a while back Shaorin, I can't wait either.
  15. I think it's in a thread somewhere about the hybrid pack release of Sayonara no tsubasa. Someone posted screen shots. **EDIT** Blackace posted pics here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35313&p=938193
  16. So true, I started my Yamato v2 collection with the Mac+ YF-19 and YF-21 at full price as I knew no better. As I was catching up to get my collection current there were a lot of Yammies I got on sale just due to the timing of it all. HLJ was having phenomenal sales + deep discounts on shipping so I had to bite. Once I was current though I never really waited around for sales. I just bought them as they came out as I did not want to risk missing out on any of them. I am actually glad I did as there were a few releases that seemed like they would sit around but they did not. Some of the releases also seemed to only get one run and were gone. Honestly I love saving money and all but I have a valk addiction problem and could not risk missing out, and I wanted to support Yamato as they were giving me what I wanted. I really appreciate that Arcadia is giving us what we want also, out of my support for them I even pre-ordered the Nascross valk (not sure if it will ever leave it's box though). This valk is going to be mine on day 1. I am actually willing to pay the price for 1x super complete release so that I don't have to hunt accessory packs down. Now if they would just add a foldildo to the package I will feel it is super complete. In the sports world Yellow is often referred to Gold. When my father was stationed in Germany the high school mascot was a bison and the colors were purple and yellow, but was referred to as purple and gold. It's really common to be called gold in sports.
  17. In my post on the last page I also forgot to mention that I also dislike how the Super Parts splay outward when attached to the fighter. It's funny I am mostly a toy guy, but I do like a lot of the gunpla kits out there. My wife has all of the 1/72 VF-25 kits and I thought the results of the one she built up were far better than the examples I have seen on this VF-1 kit. It seems it would be easier to make a proper VF-1 kit than the Bandai effort. I was so excited about this announcement, that I told my wife she should try one out, but when the pics started coming out I told her to hold off. I am so glad I did as we avoided all the disappointment.
  18. Love the scale shot Would love to have one of those in my collection.
  19. They were already showing off what was done on the YF-30, I think we just have to be patient.
  20. I figured that Bandai had that license already as they had announced the YF-30 a long time ago.
  21. I can wait for the YF-30, I have way too much stuff on pre-order LOL! I will be getting this.
  22. Yes with 1/48 valks
  23. Ok so I finally made it to the end of this sh!t fest of a thread and will comment I really do not like this kit at all, It just has too many shortcomings that are really disturbing. Not "hating" as some would say, but pointing out what comes to mind while looking at this. I had higher hopes for it. I also agree though that more Macross is better. 1) I cannot stand that big 4ss head. 2) WTF happened with the legs in fighter mode? It actually looks like the panels collapse in to accommodate the arms, but just not enough... 3) Does the back pack really hover like that in Gerwalk mode? (Really high) 4) Gerwalk is just wrong altogether to me, especially the knees. 5) Gerwalk mode really looks like it deserved a swivel for proper A-stance poseability. 6) In battroid mode the shoulders look a bit small to me, but maybe that's just me. 7) The ankle joint gimmick looks wrong to me, seeing it disconnected from the main part of the leg is odd looking to me. I can see why they wanted to do it though for pose-ability. It looks like the feet should open up just a bit more, but maybe I am nitpicking. 9) I wish the gun pod could have locked into place between the arms in fighter mode. The details on the pics I have seen actually indentation detail, but they failed to make it functional. 10) In battroid mode, the head again is too big and it is sitting kind of far back. When you see the head posed to one side at some angles, it looks like you block out a lot of the face because the chest is in the way. Anyways like anything else, to each his own. If you like it buy it, if not don't. Haha, had a good laugh at the "These boots are made for gerwalkin' and that's just what they'll do."
