    I like the intakes of the VF-27. They look the part. On the other hand I really like the intakes on my VF-22S. They look great.

    I think the color of the yellow accents is to bright. I would prefer a muted color tone or better gold chrome.

    I wouldn't buy a toy from a movie that has thousands of Iron Man armor suits in it. My OCD would demand that I buy all 42. On the other hand maybe I should get the armor from Age of Ultron. I heard it is much like the Mark 42 but with more red color (which I would prefer). If HT releases a version with die cast in it I might buy it. The Iron Man figures don't have those uncanny faces, leather/cloth costumes and rubber skin which I don't like.

    I probably ditch Exhaust because I prefer Wheeljack with the Alitalia logo. If Exhaust had proper Marlboro markings I probably would feel different about it. Talking about OCD If I would have two toys of the Wheeljack mold I would feel obligated to buy all the variants of the existing Masterpiece molds. [edit:] I hope Wheeljack comes out this month. I have a stack of Gunpla in my PW that I need to ship now that the rainy and cold days are coming.

    I feel uncomfortable agreeing with DuelGundam2099 on a topic regarding movies. Nevertheless I have to agree, Evolution kicked ass!

    I also ordered both.

    I light like the light gray accents.

    Well you could design it in a way similar to the way Bandai implemented the hard points on the wings of their new 1/72 VF-1 kit. However if laser cutting only allows for 2 dimensional cuts that this won't be an option.

    I second that. I won't ordering the VF-0D right away. If a decent Black Friday discount is available I will probably buy it. I'm so weak minded.

    Now that Fans Toys Soar is on its way I hope I will be able to recreate this scene from the comic with my MMC Feralcons: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/3rd-party-unlicensed-41/fans-toys-soar-cartoon-version-colored-prototype-images-181085/ So many childhood memories.

    For me personally Magnus will be the pinnacle of the Masterpiece line. With the sole reason being that it will be the first transforming toy of Magnus that looks the part. I've been waiting for this since I was a little child and read the transformers comic. Spacebrick looks cool and I will most definitely getting one version of it but it won't have the same impact that Ultra Magnus will have. For me at least.

    I would buy thee of the Itasha Valkyries. One with Sheryl, one with Cathy and one with Grace.

    The fins on the YF-21 was one single piece. My train of thoughts was that folding a crucial part of the Valkyrie (such as the wings for atmospheric flight) too many times (like on the VF-9) would lead to an instability of the part. Valkyries do not function like Transformers where one part splits into 1000 pieces that get arrange someplace else. They have to be anchored in he real world physics. Since some people insist that Macross is a pure Sci-Fi show first and foremost I'd imagine that the physics of today still apply to them.

    I will wait for MMCs offering if there is one. My Feral Rex isn't even finished so I need some time to breathe before I start with another combiner. Oh and Fansproject M³ is on its way to me.

    Two of my last three packages from NY where caught by customs leading to fees and taxes.

    I have one problem with the assumption that Kawamori was lazy with the backpack design. Don't get me wrong I had the same impression when I first saw the Battroid-Mode of the Chronos. However I think a mechanism to slide the tail fins up would be easy to implement. So that get me thinking. If I could come up with a solution for the back-kibble than Kawamori must have thought about that too. Some time later I thought about the Messiah Backpack design. I had the idea that it would be much saver for the pilot if the wings folded in the opposite direction to shield the cockpit similar to the wings of the VF-9. The downside of this design would be the inability to mount add-on packs onto the wing roots. Especially with the Frontier designs the add-on sets seem to be an important aspect of the Valkyries itself. I really like the fork-ish look of the VF-25. Due to the fact that every Valkyrie form Frontier is based on the same basic frame (with the exception of the VF-171 which is based on the VF-17 and has a nice backpack) they are forced to have a similar design. The VF-27 has a ingenius mechanism for folding up the wings and still has the forked look that define the Frontier Valkyries for me. That shows that Kawamori can do it if he wants. So why is this backpack on the YF-30. Maybe there are some massive booster for the wings that can slide over the wings where the tail fins would end up if they would slide into the backpack. Or Kawamori tries to achieve a realistic design. I could imagine that wings that fold up several times are highly unstable and very fragile. The rotating fins could also lead to a more agile Battroid. On the other hand maybe Kawamori just likes kibble. There is more than enough evidence flying around.

    Saw the movie today and I really liked it. Especially the battle under the clear blue sky. Glad it was no cityscape at night and it's raining. I'm looking at you Pacific Rim.

    Looks like a Mass Effect armor for Femshep.

    Not that I want to derail this thread some more but the one time I shipped an item with FedEx they also charged a service fee for bringing the package through customs and paying the import fee and sales tax upfront so maybe the fee you are getting is for the customs project. Granted in my country FedEx takes a risk for paying the taxes but I never had this with any other carrier. In my country there is even a company that offers a service to get your package to you if customs can't figure out what this package contains. They offer this with a hefty fee (plus taxes and fees). In the past they also never mentioned that you could to the paperwork by yourself through a web service so many customers just payed that company. So maybe FedEx is trying to make an extra buck with offering this service for their customers. So yeah the YF-30.... I really hope we get some options for the missile rack later on. If they to the Skywarp repaint hopefully they add a new head into the mix so I can buy it without regrets.

    They also creep me out. I'm interested in a die cast Iron Man armor but I feat that it comes to live at night and kills me while sleeping with a repulsor blast or choke me to death because he's too heavy for me to lift him. At least with Bandai Valkyries and their loose joints they are not able to walk away from their cabinests so I'm save.

    Damn it now you forced me to look at my Schroedingers Valkyrie and I see cracks in the lower triangle piece. Does anyone remember if the plastic of the black pieces can be welded with plastic cement?

    From my understanding some of the parts will fit but most parts are not interchangeable. I think from all the add-on sets the Tornado Parts are pretty similar to the V1 parts but even there not all parts will fit. The molds are just very different, even if they represent the same Valkyrie. Check out jenius' review on his blog site to check the differences out.
