  1. But with the Bandai and Yamato toys, opening the box doesn't destroy it in any way. It's not like you can't just stick it back in the box. These aren't blister cards where you have to rip it apart to get the toy out.

    But you can't give it back it's virginity just by putting it back in the box. ;)

    Sure you can, that's what terms like "born again virgin" are for~ ;)

  2. Off topic, why are the heat shields for the 1/48's painted on the inside anyway? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.

    I think i remember someone saying it was so it was less likely to scratch the skull...?

  3. Never buy the first version of any Yamato transforming toy. Snide conspiracy theories aside, Yamato has a perfect record of "improving" their products after 2 or 3 iterations. Nothing they made for Macross so far is so good or well thought-out that revisions weren't just asked for, but in fact required to make the product live up to its original intentions. If the sales for the VE-1 and VT-1 were good enough you bet they'll have some kind of Rev 2 out half a year later - with chestplates that actually slide properly during transformation.

    And yes, I am a blatant Yamato cynic.

    You mean, I'm going to see a third VF-1S reissue with a head that sits up properly in fighter mode!?!!?!?! 5W337N35555555!!!!

  4. When is the re-issue? And what are the changes? How can someone tell the difference between the first one and the re-issue? Will there be any indication on the Box?

    The re-issue, i believe, is something like the end of this month.

    The changes are the improvements seen on the VF-1A MAX and the Low Vis (improved nosecone and flap design and, cross your fingers, straight skull squadron emblem)

    How can someone tell the difference?

    That is the question of the minute...ummm hour...errr day...wait, week..no, i mean month!~ (well last month)

    Although, you could just pre-order it from any of the kind vendors here that list it as the "re-issue" and pray.

  5. I should remind everyone that Final Fantasy XII has been developed by the team behind Ogre/Final Fantasy Tactics/Vagrant Story, and  is near completion.

    The FFXII site is up (or it has for sometime, if so, then its been updated) although, there's not much there.

    About FFVII:AC, here's a little snip-it on the plot from rpgfan.com:

    "At a hotel near Chiba's Makuhari Messe, Square Enix has confirmed that just like Final Fantasy VII back then, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is being developed by Yoshinori Kitase's production team 1. Advent Children will be a high-quality CG movie of about 60 minutes in length. Final Fantasy VII's returning protagonist, Cloud Strife, will face a new foe and his calm, post-meteor world [will face] a new threat in form of the Star Scar Syndrome. Plans for this new project were drawn up 1.5 years ago and members from the original Final Fantasy VII development team have been brought together again."

  6. well theres always HLJ but i got my RX-78-2 from mitsuwa or what was yohan, its a japanese supermarket chain but it was 7 bucks~ theres no candy with them and they are packed with dogtags. I really wish there was an RX-79 [G] one or atleast a Perfect Grade RX-79 [G]. it doesn't seem like that gundam gets much respect~

  7. Well as long as we have Macross world life is good :) Hey graham take all the old hardware from the original forums and toss togeather a gundam forum ;)

    call it "GundamWorld." ;) i used to go to gundam.com alot to just get information on mobile suits, models, and plot summaries. I recently tried to read a little about Gundam Z or atleast find out about the Gundam Mk. II "Titans" and found out gundam.com was gone, sad.

  8. im 14 so i have to go back to school on the 3rd so i have decided to end my last few weeks of freedom the macross way.( before i continue i should note that ive been home schooling for 3 years and it has been a breeze. 3 hours of work a day and all of its easy. so going back to 8 hours of schoolwork 2 hours of football practice and 4 hours of home work in a private schooll that means uniforms :angry:.is going to be hell)so im going to end my summer with a bang. last year i ended it by watching the abyss premere on tmc and taking the trash out. this year i will sit down and watch every macross video evermade. the animegio dvd's, dyrl perfect edition, flashback 2012, macross 2, macross plus(ova and movie edition), macross 7 dynamite 7, macross zero 1&2 and finally macross 20th anyversary. it all startes tomarrow!( if i finnish this damn book report F@#K these 3 mnth homework assignment :angry: )

    For a 14 year old you sure do have alot of macross dvd's~ I think when i was 14 all i had was "clash of the bionoids." Hell. that wasn't even on dvd, it was VHS (I don't even think they had dvd's back then...nope).

  9. Did you guys and gals ever dream that Macross toys would ever be this awesome a few years ago? I don't see how it can get much better than this.

    Alcohol made valkyries look 5x more awesome then they really were back then but now that yamato and the 1/48's are here, I can kick the bottle. ;)
