  1. VF-5000 please Arcadia. This is one of the last variable fighters that gets a lot of screen time but has never been made in toy form. The VF-5000G has a major presence in Dynamite7 and it is in multiple video games. It deserves a toy. It would be an instant purchase for me, then Arcadia doing all these renewals of valks, which I have only bothered with the YF-19.

  2. What is going on here?

    More creative booking, I don't mind the angle, but having Ziggler lose the IC title just as he is gaining momentum seems like bad booking. Thought they were going to try to bring the IC title more relevence. Starting to look like Lesner is leaving soon...looks like Roman Reigns wins rumble...and the title will be on Rollins at Wrestlemania.

  3. Does anybody remember how much time passed since Frontier was first announced and its premier? I discovered these forums in the same year Frontier started.... :blink:

    I just hope they don't end up releasing the new series until the 35 anniversary in 2017.... I am not getting any younger, you know? <_<

    If memory serves me, I believe Victor put out a casting call in March 2007 for Ranka, the series came out in December 2007. I am not sure if the new series was announced before that.

  4. That's an odd-looking picture. I think these are closer to the official colours:

    Yes I know, just used my tweaked pic that I made, (took off the speakers, launchers, and made the shoulders the same color).

    I hope the 19P is next, it is the easiest to do from the Fire Valk. Just head swap, different color and stabilizers on the legs. I just hope they put a GU-15 gunpod with it, I dont remember seeing it with a gunpod in Dynamite.

  5. I hope Yamato re-designs the gunpod when they eventually get around to the 19F/S. The YF-19 gunpod seems a little short and thin compared to the lineart. As for the thigh design I hope Yamato stays as true to the lineart as possible with the 19Kai/F/S because I think there is less anime magic with those versus the YF-19. The hip section in battroid annoys me to no end on the YF-19 toy.

    Looking forward to this release as I am a big fan of the Macross 7 designed 19.

  6. When will we ever have a decent VF-171 toy?? (there was the VF-17 chunky, but it's about time for an update). I am starting to think, like Graham, there is a global conspiracy against it, c'mon, look at the 1/250 collection for example...still no sign of the VF17 family? even the VF-4 has been finally materialized! Bandai: go ahead with the VF-171 Frontier version, Yamato: go ahead with the Diamond Force VF-17, now, off you go!

    It is kind of odd that the valkyrie with probably the second highest episode count in all of Macross (after the VF-19 Custom) has only 1 toy made of it. If you add the VF-171 and the VF-17 together it is probably the most seen valkyrie in all of Macross. It may not have the most screen time but it it appears in the most of the Macross 7 episodes and a fair amount of Macross Frontier episodes.

  7. Can they sustain business without the gullible fans who've buy every repainted toy and re-released DVD box set? Probably not. Of course, they do have the backing of the main corporate office, which does something with real-estate. If the fans do finally get tired of it all and stop buying, the main office'll probably shut the Robotech franchise down and go do something else.

    That would be a dream come true.
