The new VF-25F's stand has the SMS letters in yellow

What NewType issue was that, that had the new delta wing fastpack???

If I remember correctly it's no. 11, released on the 10th of this month.

Overdrive's latest Web Mail states the following:

We have started taking orders for the VF-11C with Super Packs and the the two VF-22 versions(Max And Millia). As the first run of all three items will be limited to 1000 pieces each there is a posibility that all three may sell out fairly early.

I think the same was said for Gamlin's VF-22S... and I haven't seen them being sold out in many places... or has there been a new production run?

I thought we were saving these kind of threads for April 1st

Wow, scheme looks really fresh! I must say the paint application looks very natural. did you have to take it apart before paint application?

yup, took apart everything so that the masking worked without a problem.

First I had to use primer to cover the red stripes, then apply the blue color.

might post some more later. oh yeah, hikaru ex-gear wins.

:edit: want to add a red stripe, and need to find my DYRL? Hikaru in helmet to complete the image.

NICE!! the head is from the CM's Macross line?

hahaha! so far so good GGemini

wish you the best of luck on your brave adventure!

I really like the light blue highlights GGemini!

Thanks!

Here are the rest of the pics... first, this is where the idea came from (paint used : intermediate blue US Navy)

in these pics you can see the actual color, which is a bit darker than what appeared in the pic from my last post

Here's my first-ever yamato custom... more pics to follow...

I went to gamu-toys website where thesse pics came from and I found this:

スタッフの方に色々説明していだきました。

ダイキャストパーツを多用し各形態で安定性を確保。　差し替えパーツは最小限に抑えており

主に頭部のレーザーやトサカ部などの細かい部分のみの差し替えで、各形態へ変形可能。

変形には支障の無い、ディティールアップパーツなどもアリ（脚裏なので使用しなくても気になりません）

Google translate:

Idakimashita color we explain how the staff.

Stability Daikyasutopatsu extensive use of each form. Replacement parts are kept to a minimum

The only replacement parts such as fine head of the main laser and Tosaka, can transform into each area.

Deformation is not in trouble, as well as Ditiruappupatsu Ali (not to worry because even without using the back leg)

And:

目の前でバトロイドからガウォークへの一連の変形を見ましたが

頭部の3パーツのみの差し替えで（トサカ、左右レーザー）、スムーズに変形が行われていました。

Google translate:

Saw the transformation from a series of gadget to walk in front of Battroid

Replacement of only three parts of the head (Tosaka, left and right laser), the transformation was done smoothly.

- THREE parts only from Battroid to Gerwalk ... what's a "tosaka" (トサカ)? the fin?

Finally:

ファイター形態。

VF100'sでは居るのだか居ないのだか、よくわからなかったパイロットも、しっかりと再現されているようです。

VF100'sの出来がアレだったので、正直このシリーズにも期待していませんでしたが

今回の展示品の中で一番弄るのが楽しみになったアイテムです。

Google translate:

Fighter area.

VF100's what it is absent or of staying in, the pilot did not know well, and have been reproduced as a solid.

Are the VF100's since I was made of, but did not expect this series Nao Masa

The item was most looking forward to show in this exhibit.

Besides the hads, I'm thinking it may be necessary to remove the head fin in fighter mode and the peice on the back of the neck in fighter mode.

If you look at the fighter and gerwalk mode poics of the test shot, the peice on the back of the neck looks completely different.

As long as it locks together well and is not a froppy mess, I will be very happy.

Graham

True, I just realised that the fin is not supposed to be visible in fighter mode I always thought it showed just as the VF-19S or VF-19F (or as in the 1/65 one ).

Besides the floppiness, I also hope Bandai lowers the quantity of unnecesary additional and replacement parts (i.e. the gunpod in the VF-25). Now we have to wait for a pic of the VF-19k with all the parts that it will include.

Actually, I just noticed that in the last pic of the green / gray prototype you can see some parts in the background...

More pics of the VF-19 (from gamu-toys):

Interesting, I guess the dark gray parts are the ones made out of metal... and it looks like it won't need a lot of parts-forming

Definitely getting this one!!

Also, DYRL style VF-1A heads in Cannon Fodder brown if Yamato isn't going to release one as an entire Valk

+4

I'm pushing Yamato to consider making either a VF-17D/S/S-Milia, or a VF-19Kai/F/S/P.

Graham

I hope you can convince them about this... especially since Bandai shows no sign of releasing the VF-171 in ANY of the lines.

Any idea if Yamato can / will also release the YF-19 and VF-11 VF-X2 variants??

Try PSP video 9, worked OK for me : www.pspvideo9.com/Download/

Clarification: I reencoded the video using PSP video 9.

I uploaded all 25 eps of Frontier to my PSP months ago and it all still plays fine. Just this new MUF ad seemings to be giving me a hard time.

PSP doesn't have the correct codec perhaps?

Not waiting for Bandai to offer a "weathered" version of the 1/60 VF-25, I took the liberty of applying a light weathered finish to the Alto Custom DX valk. Also, I applied the white color trims on the tail fins missing when it came out of the box. It looks like a lot of the DX valks are missing those trims on the tail fins.

Here are the results:

Great weathering job!!

BTW, apparently the Fold Clear version has been released:

It is indeed a great time to be a Macross fan (in ASEAN).

BOMBA!!

Sheryl and Basara?! GREAT!!

So how does one tell what region is ones PSP?

The box of your PSP should have something like this:

and the number assigned to each region is as the list sdf2501 posted (1 US, 2 Japan, 3 HK & Singapore, etc...)

Any chance of pics?

I really hope I don't have to reinstall the official firmware, but I'm thinking it'll be mandatory. 5.55 is going to be the firmware included with MUF, I think, and most likely, it'll force me to install it... I really don't want to, but... On the other hand, I AM dying to play the game.

On a little detour, I tried the mexican food on three different cities: Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto... They... tasted like paper to me... The shop owner, a Japanese who had came to Mexico regularly, told me that it is difficult to pull the original flavors with the Japanese ingredients... But since most Japanese don't come here, well. No complaints. On a weird side note, There is sushi here with hot sauce... go figure... I guess we're even...

Back to the main topic: I think this game is going to be really fun online with adhoc party (the program for the PS3), so if any of you have a PS3, you should give it a try. Also, if someone is up to a bit of MAF carnage, you can add me and we can get the time down. What do you say?

We have a Mexican restaurant here in Singapore (owned by an Indian person) that has a mexican chef. He brings the ingredients from Mexico. Suffice to say it's very good but VERY expensive (I'm mexican btw). I still have to try mexican food in HK or Japan

Regarding the game, I think the cover for the limited edition version begs to be released as a poster:

Looks like the 19 comes with another head with the mouth covered too! NICE
