  1. Perhaps so. An exception would be from Russia With Love, because that was just - JUST - plausible enough that it works as a Cold War thriller on its own merit, and it happens to have the Bond name on it.
  2. Me as well. I have a pre-order up that I'm debating keeping - I have a Maruyama 171 and a Percival on PO. My need for a V2 VF-1 was met by a fairly cheap TV Kakizaki I bought from an MW'er. What I really want are Super parts for it, and Arcadia hasn't said a damn THING about reassuring those, as best I know. Perhaps they don't have the molds for those?
  3. Grabbed one from NY just now. Waiting for Grace's VF-27 next.
  4. I take it you can read some pretty technical Japanese, Seto! Thanks.
  5. Those Zentraedi ships were really big, too. So were their hordes of Glaugs. Thanks very much for this thread guys, it's been fascinating reading. As for the canon-icity of the Master File books, I think Kawamori was asked about them, and all the other materials, and he said something to the effect of: "None of it is canon, and all of it is canon". So I suppose we can take what we want, and leave the rest. Just like your salad bar! Erm. Sorry. Seto: wot's RHA? Pity so much of this is in Japanese and hard to find.
  6. Start your engines! Guess what's been made available at NY: http://www.nippon-yasan.com/product.php?id_product=8318 This must be some kinda record, right?
  7. Oh, wow, those contraprops on that Bear were mesmerizing! So greatly curved as well. An old, still amazing aircraft. Also liked the Typhoons quite a bit - quite the mission load.
  8. I got nothing. That's not a model, not a toy, not even a display piece. That's an achievement. I tip my hat to you.
  9. So they recommend you remove the fins and pitot tube before transformation? And even they have paint rub off? Oh boy. I will say, though, I applaud them for pointing out all the problem areas and spots of paint removal, I truly do. Bravo.
  10. Only if the tingle lasts longer than four hours.
  11. Mm. Don't like at all. Huge gaps between the air intakes and wing gloves in fighter, fugly swing bars, iffy paint apps, and shoddy build quality. The stand allows for good poses, but if you look at the fighter mode pics, the arm tilts in the base depending on how the Valkyrie is posed. Finally, the head is mounted on a hell of a "neck", and in fighter the whole thing appears to be hanging out in the slipstream. Standard "good enough" from Toynami.
  12. And while we're wishing, Super/Strike parts for the VF-1.
  13. So is this what happens when Bandai produces enough to meet demand?
  14. Didn't I read somewhere that it was done out of desperation? The 0 needed more speed or something, and the Ghost could do the job, so it was fitted in haste. Or something.
  15. Quoted for Great Mystified Truth. Can anyone please ask Mr. K about that?
  16. I have to decide just what I want you to do, and then figure out how much you'd want to do it!
  17. Very nice! I just wonder if the ATD-X will wind up being just a tech demonstrator or if it'll actually lead to a production aircraft. Also, didn't know it had paddle-vectored thrust.
  18. Nice. I'm in for an A. And echo Yeti, was that it from Arcadia?
