  1. “You can’t outrun them, you can’t destroy them. If you damage them, the essence of what they are remains. They regenerate and keep coming. Eventually, you will weaken - your reserves will be gone. They are relentless.”
  2. Looking at Star Saber and Tracks just makes you realize what a sad affair of a toy MP Ultra Magnus really is.
  3. I can work with that gold plating, very happy it is not the shiny chrome type. Agree with the hands and like I said, the newest manipulators do not work with the smaller sized mobile suits. Anything above >= 20 cm is ok, but don't use them for anything below that size.
  4. The way the fingers bend on that prototype and the fold out tab on the beam sabre hilts are evidence to me that they will be using the MP hands. Personally I am not a fan of it, because it looks disproportioned with the rest of the arm. The MP hands were designed with the 22 cm tall Nu Gundam in mind, but they keep slapping them on smaller scaled mobile suits. Anyone catch that leg image with the forward bending knee joint. Perhaps a sign that MG Delta Gundam is indeed in the planning, would not know why the Hyaku Shiki would need this articulation. Oh and I am shocked that the preference seems to be with a gold chrome plated version...
  5. No they are not and never were. As hard as this maybe to understand, but the personification of American patriotism just doesn't work as well around the rest of the globe. Besides Germany is not necessarily a bastion when it comes to embracing superhero comic culture. And I agree that the movie poster is just generally bad.
  6. This is my hope that MCU steps in and gives us a more experienced Peter Parker/Spider-Man. If they have to have an origin story, then it should be told max. within 10 - 15 minutes and then time jump to the present day or something... And it better be Peter Parker AS Spider-Man in MCU, I do not want any of this Miles Morales, passing on the torch or any other nonsense stuff.
  7. Hyaku Shiki 2.0 is a bit out of the blue, but I'll take it. Good thing I held back so long, eventually I was going to pick up the baluute version. I wonder what the gold colour is going to be like, I hope it is not the "bling, bling" type. Delta Gundam will come out and with this new Hyaku Shiki they might just ride on that small wave and get it out sooner. The real question to ask is whether it will be a normal retail or web exclusive release.
  8. Ordered too, can never have enough Optimus Primes guarding your home...
  9. To bridge the time, Takara has you covered (courtesy of seibertron.com): Did Masterforce and Victory already have completed runs before the TF movie got screened?
  10. The good thing about this, I won't be charged 40+ Euros extra for a tray full of useless missiles. The only pieces I will be leaving in the box will be the wing boosters. It looks too messy in Battroid mode.
  11. If a FB2012 version were also a limited release, then it would tank. The VFX pastel colour scheme is the most blandest there is compared to any other valkyrie release.
  12. I am very interested in this show, but can't say I love or hate it just yet, because I (and maybe for others too) am waiting for the show to have its full run. A meagre 20 minutes a week doesn't cut it for me. Hopefully there will be Blu-Rays available for the west, without me having to source it differently.
  13. I can only hope they get rid of the rage meter and bring back the multi-tier super arts selection.
  14. A bit late, but count me into the group that does not like the complementary wing design on the new (or revised?) X. But I do like the slick side profile of the whole fuselage. If they wanted to keep the whole "X" theme, maybe they should have just make the wings align diagonally. Or just give it forward swept wings, that always makes things "new and fast"...

    Great, so it's not just a straight re-release. If anybody from Bandai is reading this, PLEASE ADD SIDE COVERS!!!
  16. Why is it we have so many bloody YF-29 prototype variants instead of VF-29A/B/C/D...
  17. I disagree that Bandia waterslides are bad. Have I had them come off after applying? Sure, but only when I accidentally placed my thumb or finger on one without having top coated it yet. Anyway, from the new images the PG Unicorn arm/leg proportions look good to me now, not sure how they got that down. The Unleash mode is not canon? Can't remember seening that in the OVA. And some pics of upcomging stuff in case they were missed: MG Gundam Double X MG Exia Dark Matter MG Z Gundam III B Type and P2 Type - web exclusive MG 1/100 RX-0[N] Unicorn Gundam Banshee Norn (awakening) - web exclusive This sucks, I passed on the yellow psyco frame one, because I was hoping to settle for a cheaper green mass release one, and then they pull this off... grrrrr!!! MG Rick Dom (Dozel Zabi) - web exclusive RE/100 Gundam Mk III RE/100 Gundam GP04G RE/100 Dijeh !!!!

    Great news and slick market move by Bandai. I hope they make a Hikaru S-variant and maybe they can improve by adding some side covers. If this line produces the right variants and different types of Valkyrie, I can see myself scaling down with the hobby. The bigger toys might be more detailed, but they are not really fun to fiddle with. And as has been said before, these will go great with Master Grade Gundams!
  19. I would just like a reissue of the pirate version, best head design for the YF-29.
  20. Looks really promising to me, might eventually ditch Arcadia's YF-19. So the upper leg area is just as hollow as we have come to know Yamato/Aracadia only difference being that Bandai was able to create wall on the inside of leg area, creating the illusion it was a solid block from front or 3/4 view. Hopfully we still get plug-in pieces. And even with that rear view picture of Battroid, I still can't grasp how sideways articulation works in the upper thighs??? Arm joints seem nice an beefy, thankfully we don't have the movable bicep-cylinder thing again and all hip movement seems to be handled from one joint alone. Can anybody confirm if there is a working egress hatch?
  21. So what does that scale to, any spec dimensions on the Orguss?
