Damn SQIDD ... very nice collection indeed and display.

I am envious man!

Damn it.

Yah, what are those numbers? Pantone colors? Paint schemes for military planes? They're all so matrixy to me.

I'm trying to finish the book now before watching the movie next week.

My friend saw it last night. He wasn't too clear of what he said about the Superman/Batman movie.

But he did say, a trailer of the Superman Vs. Batman movie will be shown on this movie.

If interested, go check out The Last Man on Earth, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1663597729999672400

and then Omega Man, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=69...h&plindex=0

...and lastly watch I Am Legend.

so how come none of those ships ever fired a nuke tipped warhead artillery shell on Godzilla? i mean those shells are pretty strong, about 1/4 the strength of the horishima bombs.

nine 155 mm artillery shells on the G will put him to sleep for good.

i've thought about making a package for the special valkyries (most of them are special to most of you), but for example the low vis 1. i asked one of our printers today and the cost to make a die cut for foil stamping is about $40 per die.

i'm seriously thinking about making special boxes for some of the valkyries.

yep, ad a piece of tape or something.

better yet, fix the packaging so that production cost of packages are lower, minimize them.

i've always mentioned making the boxes like the masterpiece transformers, ie: MP-01, but with end inserts and a security tape, not just some clear scotch tape.

you know i bet yamato is in a contract with some packaging company. man i hate the flimsy cardboard crap and that flood varnish feel is so tacky. i pick up a $210 USD SV-51, and it just doesn't feel like a $200 item. it's a $200 toy for goodness sake!...why not give us better packaging?

it's almost like buying burger and fries, and they forget to include the fries! wth?

i preordered the 25th annv. vf-1 and i bet it'll be packaged on the same flimsy box with some ridiculous photoshop filter.

matte black or textured corrugated box with some gold foil stamping! come on yamato! geeez.

wth you guys talking about, that girl that plays Chung Li is hot...poo.

I remember back in 2005 when I ordered two Binaltechs (BT-17s) from imageanime.com, upon opening the box the two pieces have dented and crunched-up the clear plastic windows.

I took photographs and and sent them the problem. They didn't want to pay shipping/handling, and would not budge about it. I ended up paying for shipping thrice: ship first, ship return and shipping again.

I should have cancelled the order but I couldn't find those two BTs for the price they were selling them. But just thinking about it, all the money spent, I could have bought them somewhere else.

But the point I wanted to show and tell imageanime.com is that they should not send out damaged goods, and at least cover some charges. I'm never buying from them again.

Customer service counts; take a hit sometimes. If there's a problem with an order or two, fix it...because the customer will always come back. Longevity and customer relations count a lot more than the quick easy buck.

I hope this helps Toy-Wave.

soooo....Toy-Wave, are you providing a refund to Do Not Disturb?

i'd say just get a 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru and slap on the Stealth fast pack armor. i love it. it stands next to my monitor.

i've had a knock off VF-1J...and always considered the Bandai 1/55 Strike, Ostrich and Elintseeker as holy grails; just could never afford it. i've never owned an original bandai or takatoku valkyrie.

then out of nowhere the 1/48's came.

but if you feel passionate about the 1/55 strike valkyrie, and box is at c9. $300 -$500 is a great price.

i remember back in 1998 when i first saw them sold on ebay, those figures were up to $1,500.

and you get great artwork! none of the 1/48 flood varnish flimsy box with crappy photoshop lense flare graphics.

That's what i thought, wasn't Rob all cocky?

I guess that's what it takes to make it in the comic business; Moxy! He just lacked the business side and public relations.

So was he a "biter" ? He copied people's work and style?

I don't want to judge the guy...I mean he got accepted to do work by DC and Marvel.

I go to the San Diego Comic Con every year but never had the balls to show my stuff...well actually I don't have much to show.

man, i want to reply and say something positive and negative about this Bible work but i cannot.

i was in sophomore in high school when Youngblood #1 was first published, 2nd semester and my friends and i were all like "wow". i think he was in his early 20s.

do you guys know if this Bible renditions are original concepts by Rob Liefeld? of course the stories are not...or do you guys think he's in need of cash really bad?

any of you guys comic artists?

Thank you, Toboro.

Those stealth fast packs really look good, especially on a Hikaru VF-1S...combined, the valkyrie reminds me of the old 1/55 Bandai Strike Valkyrie.

I saw one at Frank and sons this weekend for 250 I think. Treasure Island were the ones selling it. You might want to check them out on eBay or through their site. TISINC is what they go by on ebay but I'm not sure what their online site is. Someone on here can tell you I'm sure.

1/48 = 11

i'd like to complete my 1/48 collection though. i cannot find a 1J stealth with armor any where.

1/60 = 3

waiting for the yf-21.

yeeaah! open that baby!

i got mine from a MW fellow member back in 2005 for about $265, opened and with panel lining and water decals applied. i've yet to decide whether to clean it up or not.

the 1st ver low viz does look good with the stealth strike pack...so i opened it up last week.

now i've transferred the stealth strike pack on to a Hikaru VF-1S as a strike valkyrie...the strike parts really does look good on it, reminds me of the bandai 1/55.

i remember when the 1st ver low viz came out for only $144 at TMA.com...man, i should have bought a couple.

great buy!

i wonder if the blue color will be slightly darker on the final product.

anyway...i'm getting one. got my yf-19 already waiting patiently.

yamato, please upgrade your boxes. eliminate the big flimsy boxes and turn to corrugated boxes like the Takara Masterpiece packaging. the sturdiness, matt finish with spot vanishes is really nice...well worth buying your toys if this will be the case.

right now the SV-51 packaging doesn't feel like a $220 collector figure.

damn, too bad i wasn't able to throw out the packaging issue to Graham before meeting with yamato.

is there any other production car that can top the veyron bugatti at breaking 200 mph in a 2 mile straight?

do you guys think a Formula 1 race car can beat the typhoon on that same track?

very nice indeed...i'm gettin rid of most of my toys...and i saw these. damn it.

but my question now is, how poseable are they...like RAH figures?

i have a Robocop by HOT Toys and he's pretty cool.

i guess what i'm asking for is a poseability like the SOC EVAs

damn it!...someone needs to make sturdy locking joints.

speaking of HLJ...i'm actually browsing the site right now and noticed the new Soul of Chogokin Spec XS-01 EVA-01.

do you guys know the scale size of this figure compared to a 1/100 master grade gundam?

or is the EVA-01 closer to a 1/144?

i know that the EVAs are depicted in many sizes on the show to evoke "greatness" on the machine, and so i asked the question above because i think it'll look great with some of my Gundam Fix i have.

i truly think that the Soul of Chogokin Spec XS-01 EVA-01 is one of the best action figures out there in terms of poseability, design...and playability.

So when's Graham gonna git back with us to let us know how the meeting went with Yamatizzy?

A friend of ours just got evacuated in Mira Mesa area. Careful out there guys and gals, be safe.

I'm at work right now...but I do remember in 2003 about the exact same time today, looking out the window at work and seeing the cedar fire crawl over a hill.

I've never a mountain side on fire before, but it's freaking crazy...like a huge @$$ wave of flame.

Damn too bad I didn't take a shot of that mountain side...it was really scary.

they should have FANS like us design some robot sketches for them!

what do you guys think?

Omega Supreme should be there because Bay likes huge Rockets...and then the Constructicons to complement Omega.

nice photoshoppin'.

that'd be sick though to have a real one.

i'd like to get those large revoltech joints to place on 1/6 scale figures.

Sold.
