    And still no V2 Gundam... How complicated can it be Bandai!? And really nobody with a MG titanium kit on these boards, that can help me decide?
  2. lechuck
    Agreed. Nice and tidy. None of that bloody "La Forge" visor, gaping holes or third eye nonsense designs Kawamori was pulling on us. Clean, simple and functional, that's what Battroid designs should always be.

    Nu Gundam is my favourite, so I might be a bit biased, but I would also say the MG Ver.Ka would be a great choice if you haven't got one yet. I don't have the MG 00, but as a comparison it is light years ahead of MG Unicorn Gundam. Pros: - Build-up is great - Uses the LED light-up feature - Evoke mode as an added feature - Evoke mode doesn't distort proportions like NT-D mode on MG Unicorn - Plenty of very good articulation, it can do a proper bend at its knees!!! - New manipulators Negative: - Connectors for the fin funnels are a poor design - Feet articulation could have more range - A second custom beam saber + backholster would have been nice, they do it for the fin funnels. But this is just a very personal gripe of mine By the way, has anybody ever bought a titanium variant MG before? Are they worth it? Being a sucker for all things Nu, I am contemplating getting the titanium version for display and using the normal version for fiddling.

    This pretty much sums up how I feel about the release. I must be the only one here that is not really excited about getting the extra payload. I am not going to even try them out, a quick glance and they will forever stay in the box. Bare bones would do, but I would have liked the idea of a variant with FPs + arm cluster + stand. That would be an ideal seller for me.

    ...and suddenly the head design look ugly... Can someone with the game somehow take a close-up pic of the head.

    I went with NY, I can bypass customs and I can avoid explaining to a customs person what it is. Oh, and it is 6200 Yen for EMS shipping to Germany.

    Thanks ron5864, it's a 3.0L Diesel S. I think Jaguar doesn't sell Diesels for the US market.

    Hi all, hope you don't mind if I claim a couple of seconds to show off my new ride. So much joy seeing and driving the big cat at the moment.
  9. lechuck
    Almost 250 Euros, definitely steep. I think I will get one, but from a shop that helps to bypass customs. So HLJ, AmiAmi and HobbySearch are already out of the equation.

    DX Chogokin Super VF-27

    lechuck replied to IXTL's topic in Toys

    Well got mine from AmiAmi (haven't got around opening it yet), but like others I had to pay 33 Euros for customs and I am not happy. What is AmiAmi's official stance on this? I think I have had items arrived from them w/o the full value declared and then sometimes they do it. I suppose it depends on the idiot that is processing your order. Oh well I should be happy I didn't have to waste petrol to go down to customs only for them to ask me to pay...

    If he stays in the black armor, then it should at least be that his visor changes to blue, white or green when human part takes over. The black and red combo make him look too evil and unsympathetic for one to identify with.

    The price of live action... Stick to the animation people, all those WB/DC original releases have always entertained me far better.
  13. lechuck
    Yeah the DS9 Dominion battles and seeing so many Galaxy-classes (my favourite) was great. Although I always questioned why they sent them in with the main saucer and not just the battle section.
  14. lechuck
    JUST CLICK THE DESKTOP TILE AND IT'S CLASSIC WINDOWS!!! HOW HARD CAN THAT BE? Seriously the whining at this point is just pathetic.
  15. lechuck
    And how many 1/60 YF-19s did you get after a favorable review!?

    Just to be clear, that is 8 October and not 10 August right?

    HI METAL LOVE THREAD

    lechuck replied to VFTF1's topic in Toys

    Hi, my remark wasn't aimed at your review but to the notion that the -19s are "fairly awful". If you can and want to, you should review the VF-19S, because that is the complete package (minus the speaker packs of course).
  18. lechuck
    I am excited for this kit, already in German customs. Can't really understand why so many are against this kit. Sure it deviates in some areas, but the Yamato's and Hasegawa's are not 100% accurate either (if that is even possible with a purely fictional object). One downer I have though is that there are no side covers, one of the most neglected areas for the VF-1 Would have been nice to see what Bandai could come up with here.
  19. lechuck
    Please not! For as much as I like the quality production that Unicorn is, I don't think I can stomach another long drawn out release. I just don't have the patience anymore and I rather take a dip in animation quality. Either that or they make all the OVA volumes secretly and then release them all in one go. While I would prefer something else, I must admit the mecha "get-together" has me intrigued. Seeing a Dijeh or Shokew in action kind of tickles me. Oh and I so hope we get to see a Nu Gundam stomp and crush Turn A's head!!!! But the biggest positive I take from this is that there is a HGUC V2 Gundam planned and to me this means that a MG cannot be far behind! Bandai has insulted me enough by not acknowledging my wants....

    HI METAL LOVE THREAD

    lechuck replied to VFTF1's topic in Toys

    Rubbish! The Hi-Metal -19s are fine little articulated toys. A lot of people have wrong expectations, asking for integrated landing gear, perfect transformation and what not on a 16cm toy that is based of VF with the most usage of anime magic! Back then I read anymoon's review and it is one of the very few where I didn't feel it was fair to the toy and it doesn't help when its failings are constantly compared to a larger toy...
  21. lechuck
    What! You guys don't like CG cut scenes?
  22. lechuck
    I am still liking it, articulation looks great and the Strike is probably just transformed wrong. Also smooth arms, no cheap indentations for arm packs and it looks you actually have room to move on fully decked out VF-1. Nose and/or wings are not long in Battroid, sunken head (Jenius must be jumping with joy) and waist joint!!! It's funny because I just messed around with Yamato's VF-1 the other day and maybe I am spoilt, but I found articulation to be pretty poor. I mean it has got all these (click-)joints, but you can't really put it all to good usage, especially the legs and lets not talk about the poor range for the knees...

    Bit on the fence with 3.0, just bought a G3 2.0 a couple of months back after long debating. I do like the design of the 3.0 more than the retro look of 2.0, but I don't like that it comes without a proper core fighter.
  24. lechuck
    Wouldn't it be irony if his Star Wars turns out to be a better "Star Trek", because he actually has to continue/expand the universe rather than rebooting and screwing it up.
  25. lechuck
    So nobody cares for Crossbone Gundam, then how about some animated Hathaway's Flash...
