Looks like your the 1st to do so, Thank you!! The signature Robotech Book style packaging.... I like it!!
Well that does it. Im canceling my order with over drive for the beagle version and going with the toynami. Love the presentation.

Holy $H!TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that looks retarded. So smaller mechs with more speed and maneuverability can still shoot this thing down. Its still a ship. Just turn it 90 degrees!!! and voila its a ship with a head. So all of a sudden im supposed to imagine this thing can move ultra quick
jeez this show is getting dumber and dumber.

I'd agree that the designs are not remarkable, but they don't all suck
. The Masurao would look absolutely awesome if they shaved a few meters off those massive antennae . Though the 00V mobile suits are awesome beyond words:
now those are gundams!
Where did those come from
-
Check out theze picz 00erz. Am I the only one here that thinks these gundam designs look totally retarded. Ah they seem like someone farted something in the shape of a robot and gave it a name HMM I will Call it GUNDAM

I want to thank the various members for suggesting Overdrive. I made my first purchase from him when I bought the Yamato Defender. Very Fast Shipping. Prices are a little better than BBTS.
-
it's the best valk Yamato has produced after the 1/48, no flaws and beautiful
it's certainly worth it every penny...
depends what penny that currency is
If your talking almost 300 cdn
then I say no not worth every penny
You have to help the guy be objective here and not subjective. Afterall you can eat plastic or make it run your car
-
as a Canuck.
I say wait
The americans will be worse off shortly and you will see a fire sale of collections going up shortly on ebay.
Trust me When I wanted the 1/48 stealth I waited almost 2 years for it and got it next to nothing brand new
same goes for all my PG gundams. Who would have thunk that I would get the PG Wing for 130 CDN shipped. I remember them selling for 399 at pacific mall in toronto
trust me be patient good things to those who wait

Man, what's with all this talk about Millia's Q-Rau kicking VF butt, Destroid ass, and all sorts of unholy hell?!
Don't make me bust out that old pic of Max putting Millia's Q-Rau in its place.
I would actually like to see that!
-
Ya baby score one for the Nu
Just purchased a brand spanking new Q-Rau original. Mint in de box with the figure. Naaaaaaaa
Yamato Keep your pilotless Reissues

-
What really happened afterwords...
LOL
-
pose more of this pls
Is this just a reissue or V.2.0. If it is the former what are the difference between this release the original.

Just to jump in. My wife is Chinese, I'm Caucasian We've been married for 12 years and together for 18 years. While it's true that many Chinese women are very money-minded, not all are.
I was lucky enough to find one that doesn't put money first and also puts me ahead of her family (at least until our son was born and now he comes first)
.While my wife does have a very quick temper, I'm lucky enough that she doesn't mind my collecting. As long as I put X amount of money in the bank every month to save, the rest is mine to do as I like with.
The Q-Rau is a great toy. Very under-rated.

Awesome I agree

. Yup Lucky
While my wife does have a very quick temper, I'm lucky enough that she doesn't mind my collecting. As long as I put X amount of money in the bank every month to save, the rest is mine to do as I like with.
My wife doesnt mind either. Just wants mo money. She says to save for us. But I always find out it somehow goes to her brother. Which technically could be her husband ?????? I don't know maybe there not brothers who knows......
I dont want to drag this on My response was to how awesome a guys wife was in support of his hobby while most only tolerate it whether toys or modding your car. I went a little into too much detail as I know I should have not and while most are very quick to judge me a racist you really need to understand what racism is. Until we decide to get rid of silly notions of nation states and money market systems and culture and religion we will all be rasciets in one form another. As my favorable character from the show HOUSE says, EVERYBODY LIES
I would love to debate more on this but in respect to the forum leads lets stop here and forget about and back to the Q-Rau
So if anyone can answer my question. Does Overdrive replenish his stock often? I only purchased the Destroid Defender from him because you guys said he was legit. All I need to know if he gets more stock in because I want to buy the Q-rau from him too
thanks

Sounds like you did not do your homework before you commit yourself! You're the one to blame here, not her.
brother how much possible homework can one person do????? How would I have ever known she married her brother to get him in the country. These things are normal for them. They are always doing a risk calculation and you always have to be on guard. Unless you walk into every relationship like a detective you would never know
A few years ago there was a case here in north america where a chinese girl met a middle eastern man and moved in together. She seemed all nice but never told him she was married.
Then one day the husband comes to stay with them in their apartment but tells her boyfriend its her brother and he is staying for a short while. Soon the stay becomes a little long lived and the boyfriend starts snooping through the mans paperwork and finds out its her husband. She begs her boyfriend not to go (keep in mind he has a very good job in the IT field making good money) and tells him that she was planning on getting divorced and he will leave. But this doenst change and when he gets his papers she tells the boyfriend she will stay with the husband. Poor guy leaves her for a couple months and gets another place and then she comes back to him saying she left the guy and the whole thing starts over again until he snaps and kills them both.......huh! True Story
Truth is I have been all over China. I have met so many chinese. I cant say this for all of them but I can generalize from my own experience. I have lost any respect I had for them. Every chinese person I met if I told you how they made their money or some of the dubious things they do. I dont know how many times I have heard them insult white people. As an eastern european I find this insulting. Often remarks revolve around white people are so dumb they just spend money. Hmm yeah well honey! if us dumb people didnt buy into all those ads and buy junk we dont need you would be still eating bark in warm water and not studying in a well known north american school. Funny now that this market is self adjusting itself that chinas growth is expected to slow. I guess all those dumb white folk are not so dumb after all. And if you think Im being racist my wifedoenst trust black people even tho my best friend is a black person and he is around all the time! Asians like in the Philippines are considered inferior just because of their darker skin. Anyway I will stop here I just wanted to respond to your remark that this was my fault. Yeah I can accept that to an extent but its difficult when the person you meet hides every known truth or intention.
Nuff said
Sorry Graham Didnt mean to hijack the thread
So When are these Q-Raus on Sale. I purchased my first item from overdrive because you folks said he's good. But his Q-raus are sold out. Does he restock often??
Thanks

my wife isn't the only one her pride of Japanese female friends are real big anime fans.
we buy only import dvds and they are always hanging out in my house.
talking anime with me and my wife.
Thinking up new cosplay ideas and watching Macross,Azumanga daioh,Full metal panic!
very fun for me and my wife!
Good for you. When I was dating a Japanese girl she was also more open about things. My Chinese wife on the other hand all she thinks and talks is about Money, Money, Money. I have a daughter and a Son on the way but our relationship is poo. She Never listens to me, has this obsession over her 36 loser brother who she just cant stop doing things for. So I say Fcuk it and I give money for the family the rest I blow on my collection and myself. I call it shut up wife tax. ie. Her brother sucked money out of me for english school. Didnt even bother attending one class. Her brother lived with us for 2 years when we had a small apartment. I only agreed for a couple of months seeing it was bachelor and my daughter was on the way. We moved into a 1500 sq home because the family was growing and it seemed the leach sorry I meant brother in law was staying with us and said he would help with expense....yeah right. I evetually kicked him out cause I caught him smoking in the house and found out that he spent money that was for expense on earings yup thats right a 36 year old decided to get earings. She whines about not having a house but fcuk that. When she goes out at 3 months pregnant, not feeling well just so she can help her illiterate brother get an Iphone because I had one. What an idiot I got an IPHONE for work and IBM reimburses me for all the work related calls so he spends 250 bucks then my wife calls me when im off on a business trip to ask me to give her brother 200 bucks because his muffler fell off. Hmm my response was...does he still have the reciept for his iphone.
Anyway. The way I look at it in a couple of more years I will get my self a small condo for MEEE. And NEVER NEVER EVER date another Chinese women again. Time after time I have found out that chinese women only care about MONEY which is fine but not when they want it in there possession and unless your a chinese guy they will always treat you as number 10 in the family even if you had kids with them. Too bad I would stick to croatian girls but they also seem judge you by the size of the wallet. Dont these girls ever think they get old?! OK so I get a pretty wife and you want money for your beauty. If I play by those rules then I have every right to dump her saggy ass and getter a newer Model So when I become single again it will be my kids, me, my friends, my collection and a few strays I will let into my life for very short periods of time.
whew ok i butchered that monkey.
Anyway back to topic. Love q-rau for all the bad reviews Im still getting one because I need more bad guy mecha to shore up against all the valks.

Anyone know or heard rumors of Bandi making the super strike armor parts?

One more thing. GRAHAM-if your reading this. Did you ever ask the Yamiboys if they are EVA going to make the commander battlepod. I really loved that Mech. It was such a badass looking mech that I often remember it on the cover or Battletech strategy books
teehee
-
I hope so too. I will pass on the Phalanx. Just isnt much there to justify 150 dollars. Maybe if the came out with the Phalanx upper torso that you can switch out on the defender or the Tomahawk. Besides the Spartan has completely different legs and upper torso Design. If it had the middle cannons come out from the chest, the missile bays and the club that would definitely be worth the purchase
Anyone have some good pictures of the spartan or the Phalanx? Just for reference.

I Hope the Spartan is next, that was always my favorite design. Just think, for once a Spartan toy with working missile bays, its gonna be sweet!!

Just got My ALTO DX YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Got a little freaked out by how small the package was!!! Thought the seller sent me the model kit but when I opened I was pleasantly surprissed that it was the DX
I guess I was used to the friggen HUGE boxes from Yamato and was grateful that the box is small for storage purposes.
The plane feels smaller to me than an actual 1/60 More like a 1/72??
Love how sturdy it feels
Took some pictures of 1/72 YF-19 ISAMU pilot to compare to Bandai. Really I now feel the same as some other members here that Bandai could have applied better paint apps to the pilot. Also lacking more accessories in DX collections I feel a little cheated by Bandai ( I guess a little spoiled by SOC and Aquarion DX) THIS IS NOT WORTH THE $200 Plus PRICE TAG! I will get the VF-25G and the super Strike Pack for the Alto if they come out with it. The regular Super packs are a little pricey right now and I wont bother. Again I think Bandai is asking a little Much. The SOC Eva Spec stuff is almost the same size and come loaded with a myriad of accessories and yes it doesn't transform but you can remove the armor and that takes some intelligence to make.
So Far my overall rating is 3/5 if only for the price
Still would prefer the Ozuma paint app but that neck and bendy multi-directional cannons are NOT worth the money. n
BTW Gloss looks great. A nice coating of nail polish to protect the tampo prints!

Well - now I suddenly have a totally different compehension of Gundam, and of Tomino.
All of the episodes I had watched up to now were Sunrise Dubs; then - all of a sudden - things switched to subs of the original Japanese (which I prefer).
In the Sunrise Dubs, I realized now - I couldn't warm to Amoro because his dub (combined with his hair-do) made me think of...Daniel from Transformers the Movie/Season 3. Yeah - I just couldn't shake the feeling that that was little Daniel there...
Now, with the original Japanese voice, that feeling is gone.
Frau Beau still has a ludicrous name, but she's grown a pair of tits suddenly and keeps winking at Zeons and being all womanly to Amoro.
Albeit - I'm not surprised Amoro only "felt the scent of a woman for the first time" when Matilda showed up, since - as I have noted prior - Frau Beau and Stela (?) just don't cut it...
But neither does Matilda. Leave it to Garma to apparently be the only one in the Gundam universe with a beautiful girlfriend/wife.
Just looking at Garma's girlfriend/wife (I assume that is his girlfriend/wife and not his sister?) makes me want to root for the Zeons. I've noticed that they don't have women soldiers, that their women stay home and dress in beautiful clothing rather than putting on pants and going to war, AND that their pilots are hell bent on sending food and supplies to single mothers with small children.
Meanwhile, the Federation won't EVEN officially help their OWN soldiers - DESPITE the fact that White Horse has Gundam aboard.
As the show goes on, I've got to admit I'm growing fonder of Zeon. And while I think the people on the White Horse are a noble lot; the Federation as such seems like something I'd understand Zeon wanting to declare independence from.
Anyways - War is Wasteland was a watershed episode, in a way, because Frau Beau noticed that she needed to be a woman to Amoro and at least was jealous, Amaro noticed that women exist, and Tomino at least didn't KILL the mother and child (I honestly expected them to perish, given Tomino's record) - but just was content to shatter their dreams, leave their home town a waste land)...
In any event - it is an interesting little drama that's been set up.
Also - this is something which is hard for me to comment on, because I'm really really bad at technical stuff - but I really like just how much of the minute-by-minute plot of the series is dictated by "reality." That is - by the limits that reality places on people - even people who fly giant robots. I like how every minute there's some either ammo running out, gravity screwing with balance, how there's strategy, how there are those Minowsky particles (what are those?) and how there's really a lot of thought put into the workings of these Gundams and the various machines.
I guess what I'm saying is pretty banal, since that's the whole essence of the real robot franchise - but still - as someone brought up on Super robots, for whom the realest it got was Macross (which, let's face it, is also very unreal insofar as it has oodles of gorgeous singing girls who all fall in love with guys like me [minus the variable fighter;)] - Gundam is really more down to Earth and the plot is made more interesting by the attention to detail.
Pete
YOu should go with MG or PG gundams
They are very detailed. More like toys and they are not that difficult to build. It usually takes me 48 hrs to build a PG and about 6 hours to build a MG. YOu need to pace yourself and have a routine.
