  1. Yeah, if I was going to get a model/kit we'd be better off begging the Captain to do up another batch.
  2. I've never had an issue opening my canopy. Use my fingernail to crease by the nubs on either side at the front of the cockpit Whitestar, I'd say the hips on my Brera seem just as tight. Have probably done a couple dozen transformations. Usually displayed in Battroid...
  3. Anyone done a long term evaluation on their Brera yet? Arms definitely seem a bit floppier... having issues holding a pose with the huge gunpod. Wish that shoulder joint had been ratcheted... got it to hold, at least for now. Just did another transformation to fighter. Still a beauty and nice and solid there, of course. Managed to avoid chipping on the lilac paint (the nose should be pretty easy), but have a small chip on the darker maroon striping. Cause looks to be the tab behind the hip/intake scratching at it in Battroid, so watch out for that area.
  4. I'm hoping for both original Zola and Whale Blood Red VF-19P. I'd probably want both.

    can't wait!
  6. Given all the different shades of CF VF-1, I'm wouldn't be confident in that.

    BUSTED!

    I buzz my toddler's head regularly. Usually it's with VF-22S Gamlin or VF-27y Brera, but it was with the YF-19 yesterday.
  8. The economics get better if they can share the cost with Bandai and/or a a western company (Hasbro?) in a toy line for the Live Action Robotech movie.
  9. Would have no intention of replacing my Fast Pack bundle version. I wouldn't mind if they revisted after doing the 19Kai/F/S and a couple non-canon F/S schemes (low viz!) as well as Sound Boosters and Fast Packs. Definitely not before the VF-17D/S in both Diamond Force and VF-X2 schemes.
  10. I'm with ya there. I'm not gonna lie, though, I'm still probably gonna get TF3 on Blu-ray
  11. Firefox sucks anyway. Bloated binary, even before any plugins Opera > Chrome > IE8 > Firefox
  12. I think the same basic logic (that there won't be enough volume sales) is why Toynami probably wouldn't do it. I hope they prove me wrong and take some of my money, though.
  13. Speaking of Low-Viz, don't know how long I've been hoping Yamato would do a VF-19A (same mold as the YF-19) in the low-viz, if not the same color as the FP. Ah, that would be sexay. Also really would have preferred (and bought!) the blue Ravens scheme, too instead of the Double Nuts and other proto that I didn't. Ideally, they would put chest locks and do something about that canopy to let you open it...
  14. I'd be willing to pay about $100-120 for a decently articulated Regult in 1/60 (without pilot, which could be sold separately). Hard to believe it's not possible, but I'm sure they wouldn't be leaving money on the table, if it was doable. Would they?
  15. Wow. That fighter mode looks incredible. I just had my YF-19FP down off the shelf yesterday and still like it. My biggest nitpick is probably the canopy... nice to have a 2 piece canopy but sucks that I can't open it without the nose getting all jacked.
  16. Seems clear that the VF-22 was more capable but most likely more expensive (once the whole BDI thing came to light, to say nothing of the Sharon Apple incident on both the general feeling towards AI, if not the Ghost-X). Prototype YF-19 surviving while YF-21 did not, was probably the finally nail wrt Super Nova, but had nothing to do with Max's estimation. The real IU answer is probably that Max is biased to like the 22's Q-rau looks over the 19's VF-1 heritage.
  17. "we dont need no stinkin' hardpoints."
  18. Bomba!!! Can't wait.
  19. Yeah, not a chance. Looks so beautiful but I'll get Toynami and look to either mod or hope they do a follow up that's more articulated.
  20. Based on Anime, it would clearly be the VF-11. VF-4 only made one Hikaru toy, and Flashback 2012. Don't recall ever seeing it on screen since. It looks cool, but the impression is that it's basically a VF-1 with the FP integrated in, and we can all clearly agree it's a limited platform compared to VF-11/17/19/21/25
  21. That looks awesome. Really hope this is easily obtainable in NA
  22. That looks awesome. Gunpod looks massive.

    VF-1 Thunder Hummer

    Looks like you're up to 23. Going beyond the run of 20 for the guys who want multiples? Anyhow, what's the next step?
  24. Is there a way to put the rainbow on? Perhaps not as strong? I like it on my VF-11B and kinda wish I had a VF-1 v2 that had it ... too afraid of exploding arms to ever get one before.
