Sure looks alot better, the first pictured craft would only be believeable if it was a HUGE ship (lots of plating) -and after shifting my focus from the texture to the complete image I realized it was just a tiny fighter

the second gives you a more "one-piece-construction" idea

much more realistic

'dunno,....

Guess it's a bit different from having a full size Harness in your house, or the Grizzlybear you shot last season

Now,...What's keeping that 1:1 Minmay!?!?!

Chuey

please tell us you got the Girl in the blue 'something' 's phonenumber

if not for us, at least for yourself

who was against cosplay again???

I don't see how the sophistication of the technology points in any particular direction--the most sophisticated technology would produce the best results, regardless of the technique.

I suggest you try that theory out on a chimp with a lab-set

Up to the time they came across humans, was a lot of their success due to superior technology, or was it the soldiers that made the difference?

Sheer force in numbers

just look at the SW1 Killrate humans:Zentradi

without looking at "Culture" the Humans wiped out a pretty big number of ships with the Grand Cannon

if that was their only Ace up their sleeve, there would have been no misstake that the remaining zentradi forces (at least 60%) would have oblitirated everything

Edit: an we know that those "remaining forces" were just part of one fleet

while the zentradi have 1000(00?)'s

easy answer:

a new series wouldn't work without new valks

tho the Hory Froating head still misses some 'real' VF's in his lineup from 1-22

in 2012-2050

best guess and easiest solution would be to evolve further

Yes indeed, make it a "we are finding/found the Protoculture" show

but it might be hard not to turn something like that into a Battlestar Galactica Clone

and then it would be too easy to use the sure-hit Missing Megaroad 01 story

The "copying" isn't used, it easily answers itself with this question:

"If zentradi are copies, why arent they all Millia?"

If the zentradi could, they'd copy a veteran ace

(not because of combat experience, but because of biological supremacy - i.e. faster reactions, higher stamina physical strenght, etc... )

Luck is one thing, but surviving 100's of battles (which some Zents have fought) means you're good!

Not only that, increasing flaws were already mentioned

but what if the same flaw of an original gets mass-produced?

your entire army would have the same weak spot

if only one threat discovers this, your army is toast

(hmmm,.... Culture was the enormous weakness in the Zentradi when facing the humans -though someone as quamjin did adapt and could ignore it- that undermines my entire "Flaw"-theory then again, the zents "Basic programming" disallowed all exposure to culture so maybe it was their "teaching" that was flawed)

Yeah, we finally get to know what happened to Megaroad-01

Kidding Folks!!!

[me] adds SaiKano to his "Things to do or see" just below "Dominate the world", "Win the lottery", "Go to the toilet" and "Watch girls in short skirts"[/me]

Damn you and your reviews A7

this kind of looses the use of the term "Preorder"

but anyways, don't blame me, I ordered 6 from HLJ

P.S. I'm having a blast with this argument!

Nice to know somebody is having fun <_<

Maybe nice to take the debate over to PM

It's hardly on topic

(it surely doesn't belong in the Toys-thread anymore)

Must be that thing they call a "hobby"

Yes, cosplay.com is a very good site for cosplay info. I'm over there, on the boards, all the time.

Hmmm,...

I believe I saw this pic float around the boards a few months ago

definatly a Knock-off

they sure used cheap plasics

If rumours are true and Yamato has it's biggest no. of customers in Japan

and the VF-1A sold out we can expect that Macross isn't that bad a seller

My guess is the japanese don't care for the chunky monkeys anymore

Maybe Bandai missed the train just because competition is leagues ahead

Unfortunately, Yamato seems to be planning to do their Macross Zero line in 1/72 scale, instead of the 1/60 scale that their VF-1X line is in.

damn...another toyline wasted <_<

either release all 1/60's in 1/72 or vice versa, this is irritating

Yeah G-man

It's like an AreaSeven anime-review without Areaseven

the Coke without the Cola

the mexicans without their sombreros

my paycheck without taxes (I'd wish! )

a Macross collection without a GPB-Armor

the Sado-masochist without...... uhmmmz,.. nevermind, you get the point

*No budgees were harmed in the making of this post

Stupid question

is the Elint supposed to have hands?

I thought the sensorarrays replaced them

I would say in a place where space is limited (aircraft carrier)

having small planes would allow you to carry more

6 Fastpack will be my most expensive purchase to come €272,-

if the VE-1 and VT-1 would be included it would add up to €426,-

don't know if the Q-rau or Monster will top that but I do hope to acquire them both

*my other hobby 'guitars' one purchase topped $2500

guess the guys here with cars as a hobby would top that

edit: Oh one Item

the first 1/48 (exchange rate wasn't as good as now)

Got the whole set of Steel Angel Kurumi

it was a blast!!!!

having myself chuckle when watching Project A-ko

this one really had me laughing out loud (getting some funny looks from familymembers, me being behind the PC with Earphones in)

Nice about the story is that it gets more serious as it advances without losing any of the humor

I'd say this series has enough for a fanboy but the T&A aren't overly abundant that it takes away from the series

(although Project A-ko has less)

Because of my PC I was confronted with the English Dub a few times

..Oh man, talk about Nails on a blackboard

(think Kurumi's Japanese voice is irritating? then DON'T switch to English)

Alot of fun and worth watching again (even though I saw it 3 months ago)

I recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh, action and eyecandy

Side note:

I have the Encore DVD, it doesn't really "Add" to the previous DVDs

but they are sidestories and fun to watch anyway, although I do believe I saw a change in artwork

-

Favorite steel angel?

That's a toss-up between Kurumi and Saki

But in the end I find Saki to be my steel angel of choice

Problem: My 1/48 can't hold it's gunpod, it's always hanging loose in it's hand

Solution: The problem is the triggerfinger, if you place it in the triggerhole it will

push the gunpod forward thereby folding the rest of the fingers outward and losing grip

*proceed at own risk*

heat up the triggerfinger and bend it till it's 90 degrees ( _| instead of _/ )

this way it pushes the gunpod backwards in the palm of the hand

and the rest of the fingers will hold their grip

*saw this problem in the "Improvements-Thread", thought I post my solution here

*Schwooooooossssshhh*

That wasn't the Toilet flushing... it's the sound of my Creditcard account

together with the FP my reserve has just been flushed away

But they'll be mine [maniac font]hahahahaha[/maniac font]

Yeah the 1D went like hot pancakes

Maybe the Elint won't go that fast, but I'm guessing the Ostrich will

My Yammy VF-1D

Getting my Canopy off

I was wiggeling it, increased power

then it came loose, unfortunatly I have quite some squeezing power

the poor canopy had no chance in hell,...I mashed it between my fingers
