I love that it has swappable pilots just so you can have show accurate boob sizes.

I wouldn't. buying refurbed is always a gamble even from a reputable dealer, and considering the frequent lack of warranty, it's really not worth the (usually minimal) savings. As for lenses; the most important criteria are what can you afford and what kinds of pictures will you be taking (will you be shooting indoors, close up, far away, shooting sports etc.). for most people the best all around lens ends up being some sort of standard zoom lens. Be sure to stay away from those cheap 18-55mm compact lenses though, they are absolute Junk. Also stay away from these super zoom jobs with the huge focal range, image quality is usually poor and they tend to be cheaply made (a zoom lens really shouldn't have a range greater than 5-6x). beyond that, look for things like internal focus motors (AF-S lenses with nikon), some sort of image stabilization (VR for nikon), metal lens mount (plastic lens mounts are a good indication of cheap construction), internally focusing (lens doesn't get shorter or longer when focusing). D90's come in a kit with an 18-105mm lens which should be pretty good, but if you're planing on buying your lens and body separately, I'd be more inclined to go with their 24-120mm (the 24-120 is internally focusing, the 18-105 isn't). as for places to buy, amazon is aways good, as are these two: http://www.adorama.com/ http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ (I prefer B&H myself)

no, just no. To make something that looks even remotely like the VF-19 you have to change EVERY SINGLE PART except for the hands and landing gear. now if they wanted to make something that looks totally inaccurate and completely half assed they could do as you suggested. of if they're going to be that lasy they I don't see why they would even bother to do anything more than paint it blue and call it a day, after all that's close enough, right?

oh, f**k you too bandai

On mine, I emailed lost and found and they sent me a replacement piece. took a couple weeks to get here but they did it no charge which was cool.

damn!

does anyone else think this looks a little bit like Orguss. I mean that in a good way of course.

I'd say go buy a toy that doesn't suck. Yamato 1/12 votom maybe?

OH GOD I CAME also I'm starting to like the robot damashii VF-25F and Q-rea.

I shoot probably 80% of the time in aperture priority mode because I'm lazy and it's easier to set an EV compensation and let the camera do the work than to dial in shutter speed and aperture with every shot also the composition is crap in the first picture, much better in the second. putting your subject dead center= boring photos 90% of the time. it is a good example of how you can compensate for fail auto focus with exadurated DoF.

scifi was running an original V marathon today. lol lizard baby.

and if I don't should I come knocking on your door first demanding my money back, or should I just go strait to Mr. Cameron?

The Robotech soundtrack sucks. all the background music sounds like an epileptic drunk wailing on a keyboard synthesizer, and the "songs" literally cause physical pain. the only good part was the OP theme, which I do like better than the Macross OP music, but that's 99% because it's a rip-off of John Williams' score for the original superman movie.

lol, you crazy

because the v.2 VF-1's are awesome, and the YF-21 is awesome, and the VF-11 is awesome. the YF-19's the only one that's really bad.

well of course it's going to look floppy, it's a RESIN PROTOTYPE. any VB-6 is going to be heavy as hell relative to it's size, and resin mockups always have lose joints. By the time we see a production version it will look fine.

I'm just going to come out and say it... these look atrocious, they may honestly look worse than the toynami 1/100's. the quality and play may be a bit better but GOD, these are ugly. I like the non-transforming Revoltech VF's, but these... definitely pass.

what? you can't talk about porn? what kind of sick asylum are they running over there?

or maybe they where the spacesuits so that IF they lose pressure they don't DIE. and it would also help if you bother to do even 5 seconds of actual research because you'd know that all the Spacy Mechs in Macross 7 had pressurized cockpits. ORLY? why exactly is it overpowered? because it has less thrust and an inferior T/W ratio than the basic VF-19F? because it has the same missile load as a VF-19F but no head lasers and a gunpod that doesn't even shoot bullets?

there is a serious lack of Gatling gun on all three of these.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I f*cking hate limited versions.

or maybe it looks good in battroid mode so far and we should not jump the gun and pass judgement on the fighter mode until we see pictures of it... oh wait, this is macross world; Jumping the gun is all we do here. silly me

it's true you don't HAVE to paint. but if you wan't the HMM's to look EXACTLY as they do in the promo shots and instruction manuals from kotobukiya, you're going to do some painting. Genesis wasn't too bad (I haven't finished watching it but...). honestly I liked all the shows except for Fuzors. Holly poo was fuzors bad... that's what you get when you try to make something for the US market (crap). It's more a show for younger kids but I still enjoyed watching it (I downloaded all 4 series this summer, they were actually kind of fun)
