I got my shipping notice from Overdrive. Now I just need to decide if I want to do a review of the Destroid, the CMs VR-41, or the Dark Legioss first...

and Macross was conceived as a parody... whoa!

lots of options. If it's just a fit problem you can dab a little something (some people just use clear nail polish) on the peg that fits into the wing's hard point to thicken it up so it will stay. That said, this is the first time I've heard of this problem with the VF-0.

Nah, overall I like these toys so if you have any modeling talent and some patience you'll probably be really happy with them. Most the stuff that breaks or gets loose could be fixed very easily (and many of the cracks that appear don't really affect anything anyway). They're considering what's on the table for Wave 3 is considered the super parts, wave 4 is the weathered 1S Hik, Roy, and the VF-1A CF. Wave 5 is just rumors at this point but it looks like the GBP is a pretty safe bet.

Overdrive just started offering replacement Yamato parts, you should try them.

My review is up! Go to it by clicking here

It looks like they glued some Zentradi ships to the SDF-1.

Last episode was a mixed bag. I liked it a lot but I didn't like the direction and felt the tempo swings were a bit jarring.

I'm completely with Sqidd on this one. All you had to do was mail in coupons to get the TV-1A... there's gotta be a ton of people who mailed in a ton of coupons specifically so they can sell them later.

Wait, so why can't the Mardook be similar to Earth or the Protoculture? Why can't the Mardook just be a very old group of humanoids who at some point the Zentraedi visit and yet the Mardook overcome them with their culture? The humans end up fighting alongside the Zentraedi so maybe the Mardook did the same thing but with a much nastier means of doing so? You're argument that "it would suck if they were just human-like and not protoculture" sounds more like an argument for "The writing of MacrossII sucks" then it does to proving the Mardook are Protoculture. I mean, talk about common sense, if the Mardook are the PROTOCULTURE why aren't they called Protoculture? You would think that if someone were really going to make that connection they'd just go ahead and do it but instead it sounds like the people involved with MacII have gone out of there way NOT to say that.

This place is funny. When Yamato was working on the YF-19 I kept sayign that the size of the front landing gear shouldn't be an issue 'cause they could make it telescope with a twist lock (to potentially reduce the "gullet" effect). Almost everyone who read that suggestion told me a telescoping front landing gear was the last thing Yamato should do because it wouldn't be able to handle the weight, etc. So what, everyone thinks Bandai can make a sturdier landing gear? What's all the battying about the landing gear anyway? You're NEVER going to see it on your shelf unless your shelf is eye-level. It's not like this toy has Toynami's MPC Alpha problem of resting on its chest.

The Vajra also seemed to settle places they overtook... so would that mean we could surmise that it was actually the vajra that finally wiped out the PC? Okay, I guess we can't really come to any conclusion of the PC yet... I'd still like to hear more from them in the future.

I wonder if George didn't just get his wires crossed and was talking about when Beagle planned on having *their* release ready. Last word I heard was Beta this quarter and Cyclone the next for US releases. I could look further into it but hey, if George says this Christmas then maybe that's what we should hope for. Seriously though, I'm guessing next Christmas.

The big wheels are actually a hair too big. I'm hoping they either shrink them back down a tiny bit for Houquet or that they modify the position they rest in in armor mode as to not rub up against the shoulders.

I wonder if we'll have to jump through hoops are win a drawing to get that weathered version.

I'm just sayin', I was right. Sorry Duke Togo, I know you really wanted me to be wrong.

I was right about there being a Vajra more dominant than the queen we saw on Galia IV!

Toynami was not anticipating bringing the Beagle out here this year. I think they said Spring 09 which probably means next Christmas...

What's the announcement that happens half way through the episode (I'm guessing it's kanji and appears and lingers for a little bit). All I can see is that in English it says FINAL. What's the rest of that say?

Soon... very soon... but not yet.

A 1/72 model, while possibly extremely detailed, would be something YOU have to put together and paint. I'd pay a premium not to have to do that... That said, all these tiny parts make me cringe... and GERWALK mode looks like it has a broken back.

The only time the MH takes a while for me to transform is when I haven't touched it for a while and I forget to slide the engine up before moving the rear of the bike. Otherwise I think I have the hang of it and could probably bust it out in just a couple minutes.

^ d'oh!!!! Seriously Ruskii, two posts back to back, why not just edit your last post? Aw crap, now i'm becoming the forum nazi.

I'm afraid I can't divulge my source. As a nice plug though, if I were to preorder a second one, I'd do it through Kevin at the Valk Exchange.

It was his way of saying "STFU about inane crap or I'll lock this thread." So, hopefully this thread will now stay dormant for a week or so until I can start posting CMs VR-41 and Dark Legioss pictures. Then we can all get back to discussing Mospeada and its merchandise instead of what show aired where in what language and who licensed it.
