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.

That question's been asked a couple times and there's no way the v1 armor works on the v2. Take a look at any comparison pic, the v1 is very different in size and shape from the v2.

Damn, I need to go to the UK! All this time I passed up on traveling there since it didn't have an exotic allure... now that I know there are sweet vintage and rare toys lurking there I might have to change my tune.

While I do hope the deal hasn't fallen through, I disagree. If BW gave Bandai a license that has certain stipulations Bandai would have no right to throw a fuss when BW told them to honor those stipulations. For example, if the license says it's non-transferrable and valid only in Japan then Bandai wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on. Hopefully this isn't the case but still... we haven't heard about Yamato making a new division to sell their toys in the US and you would expect that - if what Bandai's doing is valid. Then again, Graham says the Yamato guys don't much care for the Toynami guys so maybe Yamato just isn't doing this to avoid having to deal with Toynami as a distributor.

I hope this is a joke post since you're a newb. A Lansay Tread would be worth $1K pretty easily, they've gone for more than $3K. That said, if you "killed the Tread with a box" the fighter you have left over is really common and worth $30 or less.

I wonder if the Tamashi deal has fallen apart under closer scrutiny by Big West. BW: "So you're going to sell this in America huh, how'd you pull that off?" Bandai: "Oh, it was clever, we're going to do it under one of our subsidiaries." BW: "Oh, our license let's you do that?" Bandai: "We think so." BW: "Tell you what, why don't you give us some time to figure out whether or not we're going to sue you."

I really like the idea of using Ryan's positive attitude, energy to help around MW in some way. Crap, I really wish I had a better system over at my site so I could bring him on to help. Miriya, it's a good thing to second guess yourself occasionally as to whether or not what you would write needs to be written (and I'm not saying this specifically to you but to everyone in general). Don't let that diminish your enjoyment of anything though and there's no need to think you're going to be persecuted if your post seems silly.

I just got done picturing up my VF-0S with fold booster for a review. I'm happy to report as all other VF-0S/Booster owners have reported, the shoulders appear to be fixed on that version. I took off the cover and saw no evidence of stress marks. I'm curious if the fix employed on the booster version was just too expensive for Yamato's liking (if they made it all out of POM like the rumor was) and so now they're trying to work out a cheaper fix...

Sure, we all stir up drama and go off topic once in a while, it's bound to happen intended or not, occasionally. While you and I seem to be friends of the Edit button, it isn't too uncommon to see others who make a post, then another post, then sometimes even a third post, especially when they're directing comments at other members (as often happens in the spam-laden threads). It works something like this: 1) Member A: Oh my God, I fart! 2) Member B: I pooed today! 3) Member C: I pooed in Eugimon's Omega Pants! 4) Member D: Yeah dude, I smelt it. 5) Member D (again): I totally pooed also! 6) Member D (yet again): Your mom is in Eugimon's Omega Pants!!! Seriously.... there just isn't enough STFU to go around sometimes but I also view the forum from work quite a bit so I assume that my more serious work attitude coupled with the 5 minutes I have to scan through topics makes me a little more finicky. I also know that my pissing matches with Exo and Hurin probably didn't make for fun reading so I've been shrugging off the spamming for a long time and now that I've vented for a moment I'll go back to ignoring it when it pops up. I hope that Ryno's Permaban doesn't hold and he convinces the mods to change their minds and comes back still exhuberant and passionate toward Macross but a little less apt to spam and with a better feel for when it's time to back off the mods. Failing that, I do hope to still hear from him on other forums and sites...

Maybe MW should have a new rule... no consecutive comments within 24 hours meaning: If you made the last comment in a thread, the next comment MUST be made by another member unless 24 hours have passed.

I liked Misterryno and think he's a good guy but I would readily agree that MW has gotten super spam heavy lately and Ryan was definitely doing his best to keep that up. The amount of utterly irrelevant posts was creating pages of nonsense (obviously not just his but there seems to be a few other members that follow suit). I know we're all guilty of the occasional spam, and I don't think anyone should ever feel guilty of posting a comment that just says "Wow, thanks!" or "Woah, that is Suhweeet!" when it is well deserved and umpteen accolades haven't already been dispersed but reasonable limits had easily been surpassed. Too many times it seems members forget that these threads have topics and subjects that are meant to be stuck to. MW doesn't have a "Casual chat for idle hands" region for a reason, that stuff can be done at RT.com. So, I like the guy but I believe he earned his suspension and I'm a little surprised he was only given three days after continuing to spam after repeated warnings, PMs, a custom title, and Lord knows what else the mods may have tried to reign him in. Now onto the banning. Seriously? 48 hours of no MW and the guy snaps and makes a new account? Not only that, he jokes with Hurin about taking his avatar. Ryan, WTF? All this after you saw the mods ban someone else in the Black List for having multiple accounts... it's obviously something they can figure out. So, I still think misterryno is a good guy, and I look forward to him being around again at some point, but I think like a month away or something may actually be beneficial to him. I don't think he quite got the lifetime ban that A1 had and even A1 has made his return so I hope and expect we'll see the same thing with Ryan... and hopefully it will be a calmer Ryan who posts about 25% as often as the current one. Seriously, I feel like I'm posting constantly and I think he had me beat after my nearly four years to his one. Sorry Ryan, hope you're doing well - EDIT - I can't count how many years I've been here.... and I'm an accountant.
