It's like how liars always think other people are lying to them.

yup, yamato fudges the pilot scales willy nilly as well

there's a little peg on the bottom of the seat, my copy just pops right out.

I won't get mad if these get reposted. However, if you print them and make money selling them, I want a cut and credit.

Yamdai for the win!

I don't think the 0 is the best valk to hold to being to scale. The vf-0 pilots are noticeably larger than any of the other yammie 1/60 figures except for that one destroid pilot who is also a giant.

Believe me, I'd much rather be in SF hanging out with everyone and geeking out than standing around and getting quotes on tree removal. Growing up sucks.

I'm thinking Kara's mom will be a character

Oh, it's not an ouch thing, it's a "what the hell, how much to take cut it down???" sort of thing. Basically, we're in our 10 day contingency period and we need to get quotes on how much it will cost to remove this ginormous 30+ ft tall tree from the back yard that's grown into the fence and over hangs the roof

still playing FF and then there's the dragon age expansion. I'll get around to GoWIII this summer or whenever it starts to flood the used bins at gamestop.

it would suck if it were focused on bill, he'd be in training and then he'd fly one mission and the show would be over.

awesome!

I'm gonna have to cancel. Some stuff came up last minute. Well, a giant tree.

cool, fantastic news.

true, that's a good point. I wouldn't mind a yamato vf-171 in the slightest!

oh, no, I mean for future Macross shows, not out of what they already have. I'm saying yamato probably isn't going to be able to make valks from any show post Frontier cuz those rights are gonna be locked up by Bandai.

lets see... is not enough a number? cuz that's how many I have.

all very good points! I like the RotF designs just fine, I think they work far better in a live action movie than the classic designs would. Personally, I think both camps have their share of blow hards. There's just as many classic fans who can't seem to understand that some people have different tastes than them and new fans who are just a tad overly emotionally invested in the movies.

maybe they're offended because some people can't talk about the RotF designs with spewing verbal vomit from the very beginning and this gets their ire up?

vf-27 http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossf/vf-27.htm sv 51 http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrosszero/sv-51.htm

You know.. that's just one guy, granted he says it over and over and over (I love ya pete but you know it's true! )

then yamato would have made it wrong since the vf-27 is shorter than the sv-51 by 4 meters.

valks have constraints that transformers do not. The pilot needs to go somewhere in every mode, it needs to be a full cockpit, there needs to be actual landing gears, the wings need to be physically capable of sustaining flight, there has to actually be an engine and the weapons can't materialize out of thin air or or be previously part of the engine or drive train. Given those constraints I think valkyries are admirable in how different they manage to be. So yeah, I'm much more forgiving of a valk having the engines inside the legs than a transformer that carries an entire jet on its back in bot mode and a jet carrying a robot on its belly in plane mode.

the remotes are cheap but if you don't want to spend the money, use the timer function.

There's really no point in arguing this with you since you're just going to use your own private definition of "kibble" when it comes to valkyries and another definition entirely when it comes to transformers. But *even* if we go by your definition... again, a vakyrie has it's engine/legs exposed... okay, the one thing serves two functions, but fine, let's say it is kibble. Jetfire has TWO pairs of engines in jet mode, the jet appropriate engine nacelles mounted on the wing which is appropriate for the design and then another set of engines, not serving any possible purpose, sitting there under the wings, mounted diagonally. It also has a complete set of legs, feet, arms and hands, fully exposed, the arms and hands actually holding on to a gun which the SR-71 isn't even supposed to have. By *any* possible stretch of the term *kibble* Jetfire has far more. Why? Because he has *robot only* parts, fully exposed in Jet mode that serve *zero* function in jet mode, they are just there. In fact, every jet transformer has more kibble because they *all* have robot only parts and pieces exposed in their jet mode. Even the Masterpiece seekers have a mess of unique robot only features fully exposed on their underbelly that are not only not found on an actual f-15, but don't even serve any fictional purpose in jet mode. And just as an aside, if we use your definition of kibble, Optimus Prime is 100% kibble in every mode.
