Too bad Tolkien had to sell the rights, it was a bad move but he didn’t have a crystal ball. He needed money and got money for them and that is that. Whatever the studio wins using the rights it bought belongs to the studio; after all, they took the risk of investing big money shooting three big @ss movies, not the Tolkien family. His descendants won the lottery when they were born in his family and not in another. Christopher can scrap together his father's grocery lists and make a book about them to make some good money any day unlike the rest of the world. That said, I hope the Hobbit does well and we get some epic Silmarillion trilogy or something. Difficult to translate into film but one can dream of some Melkor Vs Elve action

That "Hikaru" or "J" head looks awesome!

Damn it, April is sooo far away.

God damn it, I need a YF-21 NOW!! Beautiful fighter and awesome robot. It could even end up looking cool with the foldildo. Hell, even Assmode (also known as Gerwalk) looks nice.

I would gladly move to a country that adopts the Gurenn Brigates symbol into their flag. Even if I have to pay more taxes. Ooooh, the manly tears, the be coming out of my eyes now. So beautiful.

Thanks for the pic! The YF-19 and 21 both look really nice as far as I can make out. Big feet on the 21 and a big gunpod on the 19

So he's an a-hole like Pat Lee (who had people working for free while he bought expensive sports cars)? Anymore bastards that don't pay their workers/collaborators? Need to do a "do not buy from x" list.

Wonder if Old Testament Liefeld God would have lots of little pouches too.

Meh, if they really appreciate their customers patience they should offer a discount to those that stuck with them even when there were cheaper and faster solutions in Ebay. Angolz, a Hong Kong based online store, gave me a 10% discount on my next purchase because of a misshap they had so Asian companies really can do other things besides the very easy to type "we are sorry". Long ago I accepted ocombining orders with HLJ is a miracle but doing such a big change in their instalations just before X-mas season was not a really good move for the consumer.

*sob* I really wanted a crash test dummy when I was a kid but never got one *sob* A gimmick loaded YF-21 would take away the pain

Make the YF-21 have a button that sends the parts flying and you have the best "incredible crash dummies" toy ever. Looking at the Yamato site: will the stripes be yellow or orangy? Either way, the bird looks beautifull.

I'll add the Cyber Pirate Suit to my X-mas wish list. "Arg! Avast maytes, me gots meself a pair of robot hooks!"

I also wrote them last week, still no reply. If I'm forced to pay EMS shipping I want EMS and the item delivered to my door faster than regular EbayerIinflateshipping can. I've finally decided to cancel and buy it from Ebay. It's even cheaper than with the early bird discount and even if shipping isn't EMS, I'll have it in 7-12 days. If HLJ starts handing out payment request tomorrow + days of process time and whatever it'll also be 9+ days before you see anything. Waiting almost the same at least I'm saving 20 bucks (wish I had done it earlier). I know they had to move, but I'm not getting anything out of it and even have to wait more. I'll use HLJ just for stuff that can be shipped by SAL from now on.

Eureka 7----> mechas by Kawamori and the toys look crappy... Aquarion----> mechas by Kawamori and the proto of the big ass expensive toy was already being shown after episode 2: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?s=&a...st&p=283997 Maybe it depends on how much money Bandai puts into the show (Aquarion looked like it had a bigger budget and only lasted 26 episodes). There's a Gundam show and Eva movies for the next 2+ years... so less Bandai money for MF... I won't be holding my breath for good quality merchandize from Bandai... On the VF-11: Posability looks good from the cad pic: Double jointed elbows are there and the leg area looks very busy so I guess it will also have double jointed knees. The elbows don't look like they telescope out like in the HCM-Pros though.

The expensive Konami toy is soooo canceled now. Good to see another company doing Gurren Lagann mecha stuff, a SOC might not be so far away (get moving Bandai!!).

The SS Revy looks really nice: http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/008583/40.html The neck is a bit long in that pic but on the unpainted SS behind it looks better. Comes with gun Megatron too, nice.

I haven't even received the payment request...

I'm still waiting for an orange supernova to get a YF-19.

Yep, same here. Not very impresed.

OMG, cheap Macross Yamato stuff! I wanted some small M+ mecha love so good news. Could the rumoured gasapon from Toykingdom be this new line? Hope the YF-21 is spot on to the line art (loooong legs and tiny torso). Hehe, I knew that smelled fishy *edit* I see ball joints... time to stock up on superglue/nail polish.

That Chunky Spec is on my watch list. Hope we see more of the aestivalis soon. And more from the link posted by Tober: Cute, they include the house backpack. http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/content.p....jpg/image.html http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/content.p....jpg/image.html

Two cats and daylight make it look even better!! Like the new balanced wings too.

Again with the cryptic messages I see How big is the old VF-11B compared to a 1/60 VF-1?

Beautifull as always Swoosh; you even make the ugly Yamato boxes look good!! Can't wait for mine to arrive.

Looks really good. I have a Leader Prime and was thinking of painting it in G1 colours... but I have so much in my "to customize" list that I'll probably never will. Do you transform it? Does the paint chip when doind so? That is going to look awesome (a MW member has one for an avatar and it sure looks great).
