Other ships have a combination of letters and numbers to designate each individual ship; for instance Uragas' are all CV-XXX, North Hamptons' are FFM-XXX, and the original macross is SDF-1. It's never definitively stated if there is such a designation for Battle class carriers or NMC/Island class ships. In frontier they used NMCV-25 to designate the Macross Frontier once or twice but I've heard it said repeatedly in other threads that the use was symbolic/done for visual effect and isn't official.

just an addition to your addition, Just because two rounds are the same caliber does not make them the same round. example: all the fallowing are .30 caliber (7.62mm) rounds.

it's so F**king beautiful T___T

I think the problem with that view is that the Chunky's has sentimental value because they were what adult collectors now had as kids. the v.1 1/60 were marketed from the start to adults who wanted a real high end collectors item. the v.2 fills the same function only orders of magnitude better. I don't see the v.1's ever gaining any value back in the future.

that's quite a lot of flex going on with your bottom shelf there.

it would fit in that you could put the thing in the box, but It would be a VERY tight fit. they'd still want to make the box a bit bigger to give enough room for the plastic tray and to protect the toy.

I actually really doubt that they could cram the VF-0's into the same size box as a v.2 1/60. the VF-0 is the same size as the 1/48 after all. I think you'd need about an extra inch all round added to the current v.2 box.

that gunpod just looks so ridiculous.

nope, the Battle ship by itself are "Battle Class" Ships. (see what they did there ) Apparently its only a "New Macross Class" if it has a battle class carrier connected to a city section (such as Macross 7 or 5). if they use an Island section (like with frontier) then it's an Island cluster class. I can see why they would make the distinction since Island 1 is an order of magnitude larger than city 7, but wouldn't it also make sence to differentiate the fleets as well, (it would make things a bit less confusing since they wouldn't be saying that the NMC's and the ICC's are both the same and different) now, I'm not sure the use of environment ships vs specialized ships actually makes a difference in terms of if it's an NMC or an ICC ship. the Macross 11 appears to have environment ships (and possibly some specialized ships as well) but the main ship looks much more like a city section than an island section.

so will the special decals only come with bundled sets or will they come with stand alone armor sets?

something along these lines? (forgot about the head lasers...)

right here, you're paying for fast packs that no other valk uses.

Yes. What kind of freak actually uses stuff how its SUPPOSED to be used. [/sarcasm]

no, just joking around

O.o POSEABLE HANDS FTW?!?!?

I don't know, did you really eat that much baklava?

so realistically, they're probably nigh identical to NMC's but because they aren't fleet flag ships they are named/numbered separately from the Super long ass name emigration fleet ships?

So the Macross Frontier is a New Macross Class FLEET but not a New Macross Class SHIP? if the they distinction between island cluster (i.e. Frontier) and New macross class (i.e. Macross 7) ships then shouldn't there be a distinction made between the types of feet. (i.e. New Macross Class Fleets vs. Island cluster Class Fleets) Also what about alphanumeric designations? are ANY of them valid or should we just regard any time they're used as mistakes? (I'm thoroughly convinced that this poo was not planed out well.)

you sir work very fast.

a strait Mauling is being kind, McG deserves to die a slow and painful death from rectal cancer.

at least both cannon and canon are actual words and are pronounced the same way. turrent doesn't even read the same as turret. 'Turrent' is only one letter off from 'torrent' though, someone's been doing a lot of downloading lately maybe?

holly s**t on a stick that's awsome! I want a kit of the X-02 so bad...

OMG CATHY!!!! *JOYGASM* I've just realized that I've never seen the illustrations that they use on the cathy decals before 0.0

I've got several of theirs myself (QB Nanael is my favorite) and they do make very good figures. Just talking from shopping experience across all brands, If they get creative with the angles they shoot at there's a chance they're hiding something. I'm not to worried though. and I know all about scuffing and how delicate scale plastic clothing can be. This like everything else would stay in fully cast off form.

the consistent pattern that I've noticed about such things is that they all tend to have REALLY crappy low speed performance.
