That's awesome hayao! Gosh...looking at that makes me go lazy to apply stickers.

Thanks, Veritas. How about the original? Is the original something like Gundam where these factions use these mecha to fight each other in a war?

I just noticed the same problem with mine as evident in those photos, the canopy hinge either wasn't painted properly or the paint came off due to the opening and closing of the canopy. So there's an obvious lack of grey/green on the top of starscream's chest. It bothers me.

Toys aside, is the anime any good? I heard they revived zoids lately and made it into "little kids piloting animal mechs in a tournament" kinda anime.

Mine's here, but i won't touch it until i get bored of starscream.

Just transformed mine. Absolutely gorgeous! I love the details on the toy and the fighter mode is really flawless.....i bet if ppl saw it on my desk they wouldn't know it could be transformed. I'm really happy that i got it for about slightly more than half of what i'd pay for a 1/48 valk. Ahhh if only valks had these much detail and were as cheap. I have almost no complaints, except that there are stress marks on the connecting points of the wings to the body. The joints looks like it allows the wings to be folded back in robot mode but i don't have the courage to try them out , with the stress marks and all. I am worried that these might break in the future after some play.

I'm kinda disappointed with Jetfire. He doesn't look very proportionate in robot mode. And the wings should be swept up not down.

Thanks for the review, graham. And don't worry bout the wife. Do it enough times and its easy. XD

Danny Choo was smart to get ad clicks with these. They're probably parody products. Don't think Bandai or Gundam had anything to do with it. *I wouldn't mind wearing a "Red Comet" condom though.*

For now, doesn't seem like there is a body only figure yet. I got my bunny armour! Will play with it later.

With any luck, next year will be nice. I got too much stuff to get for this year already!

What's a nisei week anyway? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTwYLqo2oYM Sorry if its posted elsewhere.

Then yamato will be blamed for the social decline of Japan's youth. Then they will shut down and we have no more valks.

That's really really cool, in a geeky kinda way!. It will be an added plus if u turned the knob on the proton guns and it made that cool "activation noise" like in the movies. "Jennngggg!"

And browsing through some Gunbuster sites, they called the original Uchuu Kaijuu as STMCs or Space Terrible Monster Crowd. Where was this term coined?

The wiki for Diebuster just went up yesterday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diebuster

Actually based on my observation, most of the otakus there wear: 1.) checkered shirt unbuttoned over a t-shirt. The t-shirt can be dorky or not. I don't know why they do this. Mebbe they think its cool. 2.) have a back pack to carry their purchases of the day 3.) holding 1 or 2 plastic bags filled with figures/toys or other anime/manga merchandise. 4.) bad color coordination with badly matching clothes 5.) sweaty and smelly probably due to their double shirt combo, in the summer heat no less. 6.) wears a cap or hat of somekind. 7.) plays a game console while walking and miraculously not banging into anyone in front.

The only one = teh best.

I didn't dress like the average otaku so its ok. XD People in Japan are generally nice.

It just occured to me that the strategic council of old people might be the Eltreum's original esper crew (or their descendents), hence their weird body structure. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&id=13823 But they also mention that the "legendary fossil fleet" has just been found and the screen shows the Eltreum. Wasn't the Jupiter colony that the Eltreum? Perhaps similar model. Shrug.

I've heard that there's not much die cast in this toy and ppl are complaining bout it.

Kampher goodness.

I think most of us already knew and guessed the ending somewhere around episode 4, if you looked back on the mega thread. Me and chrono included.
