    You could check a few video review for the VF-19 line from guys here on the board like jenius (http://www.anymoon.com) or veef (http://www.collectiondx.com). I think you will have an pretty good idea what to expect from the new YF-19 after you saw those. The hips seem to be pretty different on the YF-19 but the rest seems kinda similar.

    Does Benny has a cracked helmet in the Spaceship set?
  3. Scyla
    Looks like a VF-25 to me. I assume the 5k Yen item is the weapon set for the Messiahs.
  4. Scyla
    Wait they used actual bricks?

    I envy you! Maybe for the next Wonder Festival Arcadia will offer a VF-1 costume to go with the Gunpod. You know something like this:

    So now that the CAD is out can we tell that there will be a easy conversion into a VF-0S/A? Personally I would be more interested in the reissues from Arcadia instead of the VF-0. No news about a VF-1S Max or VF-1A Kakizaki or the Super/Strike-Packs?

    I like to have a collection that tells a complete story. My M7 collection is missing a VF-11C and Milias VF-1J with the black highlights. Then I have a complete collection. My Macross Frontier colleciton is missing the YF-30. And so on and so on. SDF:M and DYRL are easy because the only have one Valkyrie.

    Everytime I see images of a robot that transforms into an aircraft that doesn't show the underside of the plane I get highly suspicious. The robot mode shows nothing from the top and/or the front of the plane so I have to assume that it will look like the TFC not Silverbolt. So do they call this Skyfire or Jetfire? I guess I wait for the Fans Toys images.I would love to have a Masterpiece Skyfire as he looked in the cartoon.

    You should have enclosed the image in spoiler tags. More fun for everyone.

    It looks more like a scorpion to me. *hint hint* At least thats what the shape is looking for me.

    I'm sure Arcadia would love to offer it for less if they could manage to sell more units and broaden the fan base. But that ain't gonna happen.

    Just finished up my Super Parts with the tiny arrow stickers from the VF-1S sheet that Arcadia included. Used MJs images as reference for placement (thanks for providing them). Now it finally feels complete. I hope Arcadia will never ever listen to a designer when deciding if the Valkyrie should have the minimum of markings it had in the anime.

    Just watched a video review for this toy and I have to see it is terrible. It has some nice stuff going for like the chromed parts, some of the molded parts or the rubber tires. BUT since it is basically a shell former and only the front wheels are part of the robot mode it is terrible hollow and it shows. From the video I got the feeling that this toy handles like a cheap knock-off because the plastic is so thin and the toy is so light. However I still hope it sells well so HasTak has enough play money to develop new Classics style figures and continue with the Masterpiece line but this toy is not for me. [edit:] On a second thought I think the problem lies in the movie designs of the Transformers. Optimus Prime transforms somehow into his bot mode without any logic behind (other then a Valkyrie) but with many moving parts. This lends itself very well for complex toys like RotF Leader Prime but not for toys aimed at small kids.

    I don't know about that. Until now the Super VF-27 was the only bundled Valkyrie from Bandai and I assume the reasoning behind that was that it was stoll a V1 base toy. Even the reissue of the VF-25F has no bundle so I think that if the Tornado Parts are coming that they will be Tamashii Shop exclusive add-on sets just like the others. Of course Bandai can surprise us all (in a good way not like the preorder shenanigans for Ozmas YF-29).
  15. Scyla
    In my opinion the standard Super Parts are not good enough for Ozma. Bandai should design new one that are much bulkier and that have much more missiles and bigger thrusters.
  16. Scyla
    I would buy it in a heart beat!
  17. Scyla
    I'm not saying Bandai is not to blame but it could have different reasons. All the releases before where either cannon fodder or Luca or the Lucifer that wasn't even a renewal. This is Ozma the main character (as far as I'm concerned ) of Macross Frontier so maybe the selling power of this Valkyrie was unclear to stores (so they might take preorders rather conservatively) or customers who don't know if this will be the same as the ones before because it is Ozmas ride. However Bandai should be able to gauge the numbers this goes for rather well after they have the exact numbers of sold items from the Isamu Custom. This one is from the same game and might have the same appeal to people (I have no data to determine who is more popular). So I can't imagine Bandai producing not enough units. If this Durandal is widely available in stores after release I think a reissue of the VF-25S or the YF-30 could be a bit less painful. On the other hand it is probably Bandais fault for not pumping out enough units. I'm sure the numbers of sold Isamus are known only to the staff of the web shop and the people who handle the regular release have no idea how many units of the exclusive where sold. Only the workers in the factory wonder why they have to produce half as much (imaginary numbers) of a almost identical toy this time around.

    HLJ probably carry this because they carried all the other DX Chogokin that came before this release. Since they are marked as discontinued they won't show up in the search of the store itself. However you can search stuff like this with google such as: http://www.hlj.com/product/ban977444/Sci

    I thought the grenade ported him into the Predators movie.

    So we saw all the awesome stuff in the trailer and the rest of the film we watch Marky Mark trying to fix his relationship with his alienated ex wife and his two estranged children and in the end it turns out they where divorced... ...because he was a serial rapist friend.... ....a serial robot rapist friend... ...of robots! OT: The trailer looks really washed out. Not really interested. Might check it out if the reviews are as negative as for the other three movies. [edit:] Self-censorship because of harsh language.

    *yawn* I feel sleepy.
  22. Scyla
    I don't know. I think that the VF-171 is actually pretty easy to transform after I figured out how to snap the forward fuselage into the spine in Battroid-Mode. Personally I prefer the VF-171 because it has a backpack that collapses and sits flush against the back.
  23. Scyla
    Haha awesome! Good work!
  24. Scyla
    I would buy the whole Vermilion Squadron.
  25. Scyla
    So the preorders start as usual at 5 pm in Japan right?
