  1. Personally I think it'd be kind of pointless. The 1/48s are the ultimate when it comes to most of the goodies we love to see. The Mac+ valks are getting the attention they deserved years ago.

    I just don't see how they'd justify the cost of retooling the molds and competing with their already spectacular 1/48 sales.

    Just saying. It'd be cool, just not cool.

  2. Actually, I always thought that Yamato should release a Cannon Fodder VF-0A first and then save the Shin VF-0A until the Ghost Booster is ready and then release it as a set. That's the way I'd do it if I was in charge of marketing.

    :ph34r: Or if you were trying to tell us something wihtout tellingus something. :ph34r:

  3. I think the point some people are missing or just not trying to take into consideration is that since the G1 Cartoon there has barely been a Prime (or any other character for that matter) that looked anything like the original truck/vehicles save for the Beast Wars tie in episodes in the end of season 2/beginning of 3.

    It's progression. Is it (and I swear to Christ I hate this term) raping our childhoods? Yeah. Blatantly. But as the same time it's progressiing into the future of things.

    Yeah. It's going to be (literal) movie magic and...oh noes...science fiction fantasy in a movie about somehting a lot of know, love and cherish but at the time it's something a lot of us have wanted for a long time.

    Let's just ALL hope it ends up having a decent story, setting, acting etc so maybe it will come out on top and we can hope for improvements in the future.

    Just give it a chance. After you see it, by all means, rip it to shreds but man, some of you guys need to take a break.

  4. I'm all for robots that can actually move their joints on the big screen.

    The TF are supposed to transform into stuff, they are not stuff that transforms into robots (that being the case of alternators/binaltech).

    If they are so advanced they can travel through space and think for themselves surely they can have vehicle parts that fold on themselves and break into little pieces rather than having big chunks of vehicles hanging around.

    Limiting them to toy technology transformations would make them look more human made than sentient alien. Remember the transforming title on the teaser trailer? Bunch of tiny pieces moving around? That’s how these things are going to transform.

  5. I read and read and read and couldn't find it. I saw the VF-0 for the first time in real life the other night and it's flippin' huge.

    Now I know the 19 is 1/60th as well.....what kind of comparison are we looking at?

    Same size? Bigger? Smaller? I am curious.

    If anyone knows that'd be great.

  6. When I saw the thread title of "Jessica" and "Up for Auction" together, I immediately thought that Jessica Alba herself was up for auction, and dirty thoughts started going through :ph34r:

    Anyways, Jessica Biel's cool enough!  I was aboard the carrier when they were filming Stealth (USS Regan or Constellation... can't remember).  Had a chance to meet her.  Naturally, on a ship mostly filled with thousands of male Sailors and Marines, she was quite popular B))

    "So... I never knew the flightsuits could fit like that!"

  7. Hey guys.

    I recently purchased a bunch of valks from Sage (Fearyaks) and boy was I thrilled. I went from having no Yamatos to having 10 in less than a month.

    My aunt then decides to call me and let me know my uncle passed away and has left me a car. The uncle was a tool so that's not too bad but he left me a car...holy crap I think, he was a Camaro NUT.

    Which one was it?!?

    It was the CHERRY 1997 30th Anniversary Edition. But alas, in order to take delivery of her I need to pay $750 WONDERFUL dollars in taxes, the registration, the smog, DMV fees AND it needs a clutch.

    So now I am looking at about a grand of fees I have to pay within the next 30 days r the car goes into the estate sale in which I get nothing.

    It destroys me to sell them but I need to as having a car is a bit more important at the moment.

    Valks

    Thanks.
