    Not sure I understand you correctly, but do you mean saucer separation is implemented poorly or are you not a fan of this feature on Galaxy-class ships? Oh and any scale? Looks like 1/2500 to me?
  2. lechuck
    More shots of the Ent-D please. Who makes it, what scale and does it saucer separate?

    You're right, but what's really annoying are those who are bothered by "those who are so bothered". How hard can it be to ignore that?

    Speak of the devil, more detailed pic over here -> Ngee Khiong Wow super ugly I must say, I can't believe MW members like this and at the same time have the nerve to criticize the VF100/Hi-Metal line. That's like France going to the World Cup because of cheating...

    Anybody using Windows 7 (32bit) and CCCP together, suffering from a slow Windows Explorer? I had to redo my system and re-installed everything except CCCP and now Explorer is back to its standard quickness. I'm speculating that it's the Matroska Shell Integration stuff. Any alternatives, how good is the shark007 Win7 codec pack?

    Even if all that were possible, who would want that!? Yamato's YF-19 is in every essence flawed, relying on horrible usage of tension and friction. To use it as your base to make a good VF-19F/S is probably going to be a futile attempt.

    Well that's the problem with CCA, the ending leaves you guessing. If we ignore the brain thing for a moment, then the movie leaves no conclusive clues as to whether Amuro lives or dies.

    If we're talking about the Jegan, then I wouldn't hold my breath. The Jegan was introduced with CCA and to this day there is still no MG representation. Yup, she's Mineva alright. I'm really excited about this anime (and that's rare), can't wait to get my hands on the DVDs

    Yup, that's the game. Until you mentioned Amuro's brain, I always assumed that Amuro and Char either survived both physically and mentally intact or disappeared and sort of ascended to a higher level of Newtype-ism. I have always preferred the former and the brain thing makes that more of a concrete fact. Anyway I love CCA except for the ambiguous ending, should have been a conclusive and positive ending for Amuro.

    Technically this doesn't classify as a Gundam show, but I think this prelude to Mobile Suit Gundam Battlefield Record U.C. 0081 game is quite good and I wanted to share. Enjoy.

    Yes, you can use the SATA 3.0 Gb drive on the 1.5 Gb connector. The different SATA versions are not mutually exclusive of each other.

    Looks bad, I'm sticking with Bandai's VF100/Hi-Metal line. At least I get a proper scale and the various modes have decent to good appearance.
  13. lechuck
    At the cost of having a cockpit with pron star proportions... no thank you!
  14. lechuck
    I'm asking you Bandai, are you currently producing VF-19s in China!? Don't wait for the translation, answer 'yes' or 'no'!
  15. lechuck
    For me it has always been Battroid mode. Human looking robots, it's something we don't get in real life and so this fascinates me more than anything else. If I were into fighters, then I would be collecting model kits/toys of the real world things, rather than waiting for what Shoji can come up with. I'll be quite honest and say that if the original Macross (or in my case Robotech) only had semi futuristic fighters, then I might have stayed on for the rest of the show, but probably would have never returned for future incarnations or the franchise itself.
  16. lechuck
    Sigh... I thought with the VF-0D we ended the chapter giving us an ugly Battroid mode with giant wings hanging left and right.
  17. lechuck
    Wow, MG V Gundam... good addition for the line. And it makes me happy because the V2 cannot be far away. That's one to tick off my "Bandai make MG" list. Now if only CCA stuff could get some much needed love...
  18. lechuck
    Now if Hasegawa would make Battroid kits in the same scale with pilot, detailed cockpit, weapons, fast/strike pack etc., I would have no need to keep my Yamatos...
  19. lechuck
    My biggest gripe with the VF-11 is that there are no head variants like -J or -S for the single seaters. I wish Shoji hadn't been so lazy in this regard.
  20. lechuck
    To my defense, I glimpsed Armored 25 and model kit in ff95gj's original post and immediately concluded DX. It completely lapsed my mind that the VF100 line also had an Amored VF-25 already released. (Probably because its release was so low key on MW.) So in retrospect ff95gj's post makes more sense, but I still disagree that 7000 Yen is expensive for this thing. As for the landing gear missing... couldn't care less, it would have probably only interfered with Battroid mode.
  21. lechuck
    I don't know how you're doing your maths, but the Hi-metal Vf100 is not more than an Armored VF-25F. In fact it's still cheaper than Yamato's plain VF-1. But you can wait for a Yamato release and try and convince me that 18000+ Yen is a bargain bin price compared to the VF100.

    Which brings us to the core argument of how we define what a Valkyrie is. The whole package? Or does fighter/gerwalk/battroid mode take presidency? Must it be based on real world/contemporary fighters? What happens if Big West does a Macross without Shoji and the new mecha designer does something really futuristic based on nothing real world? Not a Valkyrie, NOT MACROSS? A VF-0D might have a more attractive fighter mode, but it doesn't really make for a charismatic battroid with its giant delta wings sticking out? So, the VF-2SS is just as valid entry as any other Valkyrie. It's supposed to be a futuristic design. They are laughing because it's gallows humor, the valkyries know they are on the loosing side.
  23. lechuck
    Or people care more for the VF-1 than any other variant and are therefore more vocal in the "is your v2 VF-1 broken" thread.
  24. lechuck
    When I read/hear VF High Metal, I'm thinking of something more in the line of Bandai's Fix Metal Composite.
  25. lechuck
    Bandai is not finished with Macross yet. Over at Ngee Khiong there was this post wtih the following tidbit: Macross Frontier * An area will be set up for fans to experience the heavy feel of DX Chogokin Macross Quarter and its transformation gimmicks. * New category, the evolution in VF100's series - "VF High Metal" I was going to go with the standard VF100's line once a VF-19F/S had been released, but now I think I'll have to sit it out and see what this new sub-line brings.
