    Would you prefer the top side of the aft fuselage? [edit: ] Now that I think of it this is probably wrong. Should be something like the general fuselage since the mount for the missile bay starts right behind the head turret which looked also pretty uneven in previous pictures.

    I would appreciate detailed pictures of Fighter-Mode to see if the alignment of the center spine has changed.

    I guess I'm done with Bandai when the YF-30 is released. On the other hand not that I got so many of the Frontier Valkyries I think I need the variants I missed.

    I do. However I don't know if I should get some tape to protect it from paint scratches. The endangered parts are the black paint behind the canopy and the one where the nosecone detaches in front of the cockpit right?

    Well it will not look good. I wouldn't be disappointed if this was a mass market toy for kids but as a high end collectible I feel that it has to have the right color and the right detailing.

    So I received my Arcadia YF-19 yesterday from HLJ. The box was squished on the top side even if it was all neatly packed with those funny package balloons. I guess the package had a rough ride from Japan. A quick inspection showed no damage on the wings and no missing parts. I might have time to check it out on Sunday. I liked the Arcadia VF-1S boxes so I'm sad that they changed it for the YF-19. The VF-1s had a nice Windows 8 look to them. Keep them consistent Arcadia! I really don't like the missing vents and the color of the gun-pod.

    I figured that Bandai maybe overdid it with the tolerances on the metal shoulder joints. The way you have to rotate the arms to get them in their Fighter-Mode position you probably cause some force inside of the metal shoulder block and thus in the black triangles. The strength of this force depends on how stiff the rotation joint of the shoulder is and how tight the tolerances of the pieces are. I think it might be the sum of a stiff arm rotation joint, bad plastic and a metal shoulder block that is a tad too big that causes them to break. These are also points where Bandai could have changed something between the Alto release and the CF. The fact that you have to rotate the wings at this joint 270 degrees every time you transform it doesn't help. Of course this could all be a pillow dream. However I want a VF-171EX Alto Custom badly now.

    I'm aware of this options but none of them is viable for me. Thanks for the response. I will check out the Higan emulator and the USB controllers because I want to try out the fan translation of Seiken Densetsu 3. since this was never released outside of Japan and I don't know how to feel about those Secret of Mana 2 cartridges.

    I prefer playing on my SNES over a emulator any day. The emulators I use never feel right when playing. Maybe because I'm sitting to close to the screen. I also like the feeling of popping cartridges in and out of the console and that I can switch the console on and start playing so I don't have to wait for something to boot. I would love to have an original NES. Not this one but an original gray box. Is there an emulator that I should check out to change my opinion?

    True but Kawamori designed those terrible tail fins on the YF-30 in Battroid-Mode so you never know.

    I hope the gray color of the toy will hide the fact that the GERWALK-joint needs to be extended one click to accept the missile pods on the legs and allow the turret gun to sit flush. It seems like a major design oversight that the knee caps aren't designed in a way to hide this better. It would be much nicer if you couldn't see metallic-gray plastic behind the knee caps on the lower thighs that is so conspicuous on the white/tan planes we've gotten out of this design. I've never seen line-art of the Durandal where you can see this in Fighter-Mode so I can't tell if this is intentional or Bandai just being lazy using parts from the Messiah.
  12. Scyla
    If I remember correctly you have to click the GERWALK-joint out one click and than click the lower legs one click upwards so everything is level again. It is basically the same as for the VF-1 Super/Strike-Parts.

    Yay! That looks awesome. Will fit right in with my collection of black Convoy repaints.

    I wonder if this would be a good stand-in manikin for an artist. Yeah I try to find reasons to own this desperately!

    I figured that my main problem with MP-22 is the face. I'll wait for final judgment until I see some colored pictures. Someone over at TFW said that on the high-res images you can see lines on his face that match pretty well with the shades that Magnus suppose to have. So will see.

    Have we seen any pictures of the box yet? I hope the box will look like the other Renewal boxes (this and the box of the YF-30). The YF-29 30th Anniversary box stands out like a sore thumb. Isamus YF-29 had the same box style as the Renewals right?

    So... much... spam... potential..... ...must.... ...restrain.... ..myself!

    Oh well, time to wait for the release date.

    Ok after the description of the crooked head PsYcHoDyNaMiX gave I still have problems imagining what the problem is. I guess no amount of words will change this so can someone share some pictures of the issue that I can look at my toy and start hating it. At the moment I think the problem is that the outer diameter of the two halves of the head turret has a different size so the neck cover won't sit flush on the toy. Is that what the issue is?

    Again in the middle of the night for me.*yawn* I never be able to get one this way. Please NY have some mercy for people not living in the States and Japan.

    Managed to get an old SNES cartridge of Terranigma this weekend at a local flea market. After the last boss in Secret of Evermore humiliated me I will give the game a try after I finished SoE, Sadly I only got the bare bone cartridge an no box. The guy was trying to sell a MISB Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask for the N64 to a guy and almost inlcuded this gem into the offer but I managed to be faster and got this one for a good price. Can't wait to play it.

    Hm something is wrong with her hair.... ....is it a tamashii web shop exclusive?
  24. Scyla
    I totally missed NY while refreshing the site at work. After a break it was already sold out. Without MW telling me when the order is up I don't have a chance to get the first round of orders ever.

    What a coincident. I started read an old copy of Heir to the Empire (the book is from 1992) and now this news about the EU. Well I better finish the book before Episode 7 comes out.
