wow SHCMPRO. As others here have said these are very detailed. Must have as I hate the model

stop being a net baby You saw the topic thread ....you pushed the left mouse button!

the HA BB is pretty big Alt Scale so they should all be the same size

not my first but my first in terms of problem free transformation and near perfect QC I would rate it as the best quality Mech followed by SV-51 "Ivanov and then the Macross Plus valks. I am still debating at least getting one 1/60 VF-1S but I continue to hear problems with 2.0 I currently have 1/60 YF-21 YF-19 Anniversary Bandai VF-17S VF-0S Queadlunn Rau SV-51 "Ivanov" QF-2001 Ghost 1/72 YF-21FP YF-19 VF-1 VF-11B 1/48 VF-1SS Stealth

this is very easy to see....not sure if you guys are joking around but the legs and arms make up the fingers and if you look closely you can see the thunb the cape becomes part of the wrist area I believe this is an add on to the existing 25th Maz Z Come on Pete your a SOC fan you should know better...

After reading the reviews about the VF-11B heatshield and how it was ok I ordered mine and got it in the mail Man Unbelievable what yamato did here with the workmanship. I hope they keep it up Good one yamato Boo for bandai on the DX Here is a pic next to HA BB Only gripe i have is trying to get the gun to stay in the hand. More detail could have been added into the booster. IE internal workings and the heat shield halfs was fiddly getting it to stay together

where.... ebay doesnt have any

http://www.vf-2ss.com/vf-2ssmodeli.html# for those of you who dont like the design Shame on you this is an awesome valk and nice looking than the frontier stuff

I didnt know they offered replacement parts Could you provide the website, thanks

While I am aware of this I just think the quality isnt there and I have the one that bandai released under its own line. Too many parts I would really like a perfect transform Nirvash spec1 and spec2 I ll wait till someone makes a chogokin it really is deserving of one.

Gundam MG 1/100 Model - UNICORN Ver.Ka TITANIUM Coating are there any review yet for this It still looks white to me

I know all this sub lines makes my brains hurt

what I want to know why wont bandai SOC the Eureka line of mecha!!!!!! DAMMIT

Meh nothing special

I just bought one from ebay Too nice to let go

what scale are the former ones you mentioned Why are they better What materials do they use. and they dont seem to have a big line up also whats with the Robot Spirits line. Is this line Better???

Well Once in a while i like to take my collection pieces out of the display and fiddle. All the panels on the Unicron Gundam are so hard to work around. The Piece that helps hold the bazooka broke nothing stays in place. I was thinking of replacing it with the Titanium version but I havent heard any review about it or seen pictures. The box pictures still make it look white and I am afraid it will break into a million pieces if I touch it. I just wonder why they dont give some gundams the SOC treatment. Even the Spec would be nice

then you would like SkyGraspers cause the writer is exactly making that statement in this anime about other anime. It takes effort to see this but the message is there laud and clear

thanks guys that helps a lot I think in this case im going to pass on them. and instead i will get BANDAI GUNDAM MG 1/100 SHIN MUSHA SENGOKU NO JIN MODEL GUNDAM Bandai MG RX-93 Metallic Coating 1/100 MODEL KIT BANDAI Gundam MG 1/100 Model - MSN-06S SINANJU Ver.KA i was considering getting the GFFs because of my experience with MG Zeta V2 and Unicorn Gundam. I have the PG Zeta which is a masterpiece of work and engineering but the MG counterpart and Unicorn really suck. I have noticed any moving part models from Bandai are a disaster. So I thought the GFF Zeta and other one would be better designed thank you again in making up my mind

I have been contemplating getting two that I like very much GFF Fix Figuration 0024 MSZ-006 Z Zeta Gundam Bandai and Gundam Fix GFFN NEXT GENERATION #0041 Z II just a few questions How big are they do they have metal if you transform it will it crumble in pieces like the models overall are they worth the high price? thanks

Bank client floored by penalties Print Print Text Size Text Size Text Size Choose text size Report Typo Report typo or correction Email the author Email the author iCopyright License this article AddThis May 23, 2009 04:30 AM Comments on this story (40) Ellen Roseman When Rahim Moosa lost his job last October, he decided to sell the house he'd bought with his wife a year earlier. His lender, TD Canada Trust, said there would be an $8,000 penalty to break his five-year closed mortgage – an amount he found tolerable. "By the time we sold in April 2009, TD Bank quoted us a doubled penalty of $18,000. Now, they are stating it will be approximately $25,000 upon closing in June," he says. Most mortgage contracts and renewal forms specify that clients seeking an early exit will pay either three months' interest or an interest rate differential (IRD), whichever is greater. The IRD is calculated by taking the outstanding balance, multiplying it by the gap between your existing mortgage rate and the current rate for a term similar to what you have left, and multiplying by the number of months left to the end of your term. Mortgage rates have fallen steadily since last fall, making the IRD penalties grow bigger and bigger. Once I got involved in Moosa's case, TD worked hard to cushion the blow. It sent him to a mortgage specialist, who suggested making a 15 per cent lump-sum prepayment using a line of credit that would be paid back at closing. Since TD hadn't told him about this option last October, Moosa asked for and received the right to make a 30 per cent prepayment to reduce the outstanding balance. The estimated penalty is now $11,000 to $14,000. "We won't know for sure what the exact penalty will be until the payments are made using the line of credit next week," Moosa says. He wonders why TD dragged its feet when told about his financial problems last fall. "Our branch representative should have advised us that we could pay a 15 per cent lump sum to reduce the penalty. "TD needs to have a better process in place, particularly when dealing with clients whose largest investment is in their hands." Moosa's comments will be reviewed, Hechler said. "We could have moved more quickly to help and provided clearer information from the beginning." Kevin Plautz, also a TD mortgage customer, felt he received misleading information when he asked about breaking the deal to take advantage of lower rates. His financial adviser initially quoted a penalty of $2,100, based on three months' interest. Other TD staff he spoke to later did not challenge that figure. Only when he was ready to renegotiate did he learn there would be an IRD penalty of $5,900. "I wouldn't have bothered doing a renegotiation if I had just been told the correct penalty at the start or one of the many times I asked about it since then," he says TD agreed to reduce his IRD penalty to $4,000 after I escalated his complaint to the head office. "We have offered to substantially reduce the amount of Mr. Plautz's IRD penalty as a goodwill gesture in recognition of the confusion he experienced over the amount he was quoted," Hechler told me. While planning to take the offer, Plautz is leaving TD. He's found another bank that will give him a lower interest rate and cover $225 of his $270 mortgage discharge fee. "I have a very bad taste in my mouth. I think I still prefer to move my business," he says. I'd like to hear from readers. Have you tried to renegotiate a mortgage amid falling interest rates? How did the lender respond and what penalty was charged? I'll publish comments in a future column.

Branch staff should be ensuring that they themselves undertand the documents, and if they don't they should ask questions of their supervisors. Stop blaming the banks for everything: interest rates going up; now it's interest rates going down. And no one complains at the supermarket when they are waiting in line for over 5 minutes!

In today's technological world, no one should be so uneducated when it comes to something so vital as finances. More specifically to 'Tabber' and 'King Dudley': IRD is not new. I have been in the banking 20 years with the same FI. The first 13 of those years in branches in Personal Banking, working up the ranks. IRD has always been (for my 20 years anyway)something that Banks used for penalty calculations. Clients may not be aware, as it's use is dependant on the term of mortgage a client has or remaining, the interest rate environment (up or down) and if there is a replacement mortgage. If a branch staff quoted one penalty and then when the time came to payout the penalty was higher, this is not a misquote: factors changed,interest rates dropped, mortgage balance decreased. The staff member can only quote a penalty as 'of today's date', as factors change.

Banks here in Canada seem to gouge their customer at every opportunity - they can't even blame in on "North America" like so many other things because IRD's don't exist in the US. Fees, fees and more fees - thats the Canadian banking way. Whats with monthly fees? Back in my home country the banks managed to do it all fee free and still make a healthy profit (including those with overseas branches here). Its just like gas prices - a monopoly by the big few to stick together for their own best interests - Executive bonuses. As for the rest of us we're lucky just to keep out jobs. Submitted by j27srl at 12:37 PM Monday, May 25 2009 * Agree * | * Disagree * | * Alert a Moderator Just the opposite When I sold my house last year, my interest rate was lower than the going rate by about 3/4-1%. TDCanada Trust was more than happy to allow me to sell so they could use my money to lend at a higher rate. In fact the rep. told me if the purchaser was going through them, she might be able to help with the discharge fee. Submitted by Brockville at 6:32 AM Monday, May 25 2009 * Agree * | * Disagree 1 * | * Alert a moderator TD shame This is so illustrative of TD bank. TD Bank has stopped caring for their customers in order to support the high salaries of their executives. TD bank has become an offshore banking system with head offices in Canada. My last two connections with TD Visa found me with offshore Customer Service people in India who kept reading a script to me and asking me to continually agree with their recited verse that I understood and agreed with them. I and others demand services in Canadian English or French delivered by Canadians. I am moving all of my personal and business accounts from TDCanadaTrust(5), 3 RSP accounts and my VISA account. Enough is enough TD you don't deserve my accounts. I am urging all TDCanadaTrust account holders to move their accounts from this arrogant bank. I need and demand services by a bank that puts the customer at the top and not some customer service company in India. STOP USING TDCANADATRUST because they have lost the right to use the "TRUST" part of their name.

EXACTLY! This whole PRIDE of OWNERSHIP Marketing has eaten away at peoples brains I owned and no pride could replace not racing each month to make payments to the bank. Fu ck if you want to pay off your mortgage sooner there is even a penality to that Ha! more toys for Pete and me ! Pete

BTW you must have a 6 figure salary to own and maintain that that would cost an easy 600-800k here
