  1. Good to hear from you guys again and thanks for the inside look with the new toys.
  2. Thanks, was not aware of this. The VF-19A did not look like any VF-19 that I was familiar with. That's what I was trying to clarify. The VF-19S, P, F, and Fire Valk are all very different than the YF-19, which the VF-19A looks just like.
  3. Thanks, that was what I was looking for. Is this the book you are talking about? http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-925858
  4. Yeah, I know where its from, just was trying to figure out why it was being labeled as a VF-19 Advanced, when it looks like a YF-19 and not a VF-19. So because Bandai wanted to make a toy for Isamu's SMS YF-19, they came up with the story that it is not a YF-19 but really a VF-19 that has been modded to be like a YF-19.... Cool.
  5. And it is the prototype model, right. So why all the stupid? Is this talked about anywhere?
  6. Looking at this valk, its a YF-19 right? Why is this thread and the preorders calling it a VF-19?
  7. I have to agree after comparing them to a vf-1 or yf-19 figure. I think I might stuff something under Shin's seat so Edgar doesn't slide under it anytime the valks nose is angled down, which it will be when I put it on the shelf in Gerwalk mode. I'm glad I picked it up though. I was originally going to pass on it and just grab the 0S and/or 0A but all the pictures here gave me the bug.
  8. I recently purchased a 0D. The thing is huge! The only real complaint I have with it is that when they redesigned the pilot figures, they seemed to forget about the cockpit that they sit in, or in this case slide around in. Edgar is always passing out on is console. Did anyone apply the stickers? In my experience clear stickers, even when trimmed, never really look nice when on something other than white. I was considering recreating the sticker sheet with Illustrator and printing some water slide decals.
  9. These two guys arrived last week. I had some time to play around with them a bit today.
  10. Do you have the rest of that manual? The other day I was wondering if it was possible to replace a canopy in a VF-1 and this would help.
  11. It's been a while since I've read through this thread, but someone has to have made the Illuminati joke already right? They're everywhere!
  12. I might not be remembering things correctly, but wasn't the deculture episode put together so they could show something before the year was up because it was the 25th anniversary at the time? I'm not sure I would expect them to do the same again.
  13. Try using PayPal. You can set it up so that it charges that same card that you want to use.
  14. I have spent way to much money there this month. The only problem I had was paying directly with my credit card, it bounced backed and failed to process. I then used PayPal and everything went smooth. If that's what your experiencing try PayPal.
  15. If you had the right gear, one of those DYRL motocross helmets and some shoulder pads, you would look like boss.
  16. I wanted to believe that Arcadia fixed the problem with the white, but it is the same as the VF-1S's they released. Comparing the 1J with my Focker 1S and Yamato TV 1A Max you can see the difference in how the white reflects light. It's weird. You don't always see it but it is a different material or paint from the Yamato. In day light, I don't notice it, but under tungsten light it is noticeable. Overall I'm happy with it. The GPB armor is way more fun than I thought it would be. I originally intended to display him in fighter mode but now I think I need second 1J. Who doesn't want their 1J? (seriously) I do wish that it also came with white side covers for non GPB batriod mode.
  17. Yeah. I have been real busy this last month and never got around to it because I figured I still had plenty of time, so I was getting concerned that I missed my chance. And NY just opened preorders back up a couple of hours ago...
  18. Now if only Harmony Gold could you know what.
  19. Thanks, just grabbed one from HLJ. It was not available the other day.
  20. Anyone have any idea if the 0A might show up up again on NY? It seemed like the 1J preorder was available forever and the 0A is already not available. I keep waiting but I guess I could give CDJ my money.
  21. Just to echo what everyone else has posted on the off chance that anyone ever looks here. VF-1J Max & Milia VF-4 Hikaru VT-1 DYRL Would all be instant buys for me. I am looking forward to the 0A and 0S. I never got my hands on a Zero so these are very welcome.
  22. Scanlation and fansub drama is endless. It baffles me how big some peoples egos get over this stuff just so SharkMan57 or whoever can get some internet street cred and pretend that they created something. I'm no saint when it comes to this stuff, but I do my best to support the things that I enjoy. Text translations are they way to go.
  23. Hearing you guys blab about Macross, along with the Arcadia YF-19, helped reignite my infatuation with the series. I had not watched my Macross dvd's for years.
  24. I have been watching Macross 7 again and I am about half way through the series right now. I have only watched it all the way through once before, and I really agree with Scream Man's take on it. The other day while watching the 20th or so episode I found myself wondering how many hours of Planet Dance have I listened to so far. I can't believe I am saying this, but it was a case of too much Macross. Looking forward to part 2 for the valk discussion. Keep it up.
  25. I know nothing about licensing, but wouldn't it be better for Big West or whoever to tell them to scram and sell it to someone who will promote and do something with the series and not sit on it for another 30 years.
