According to the Bandai Hobby site: http://gunpla.jp/jgoc/kensakug/shipment_plan/ Looks like 15/11/2010. Klan's VF-25 looks great btw.

Just saw that there's a Top Gun released on PSN today http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/topgun/news.html?sid=6266555&mode=previews Anyone tried? Looks like an Ace Combat Lite Also HAWX2 demo's out on PSN Best news so far... Mass Effect 2 on PS3 in Jan 2011!

HAWX2 announced: linky Not sure if anyone cares though. Me, I'm so starved for a Ace Combat-styled game on the PS3 that I'm almost tempted to pick up the first HAWX.... nah...

Takara-Tomy Announces their next Masterpiece: Movie Starscream No no no!!! MP Movie starscream needs to be a remold a la MP03 of a F22... not the bloated whale the Leader class starscream is...

Wow, those images are beautiful... looks like it'll be worth the wait and multiple delays!

Amazon.co.jp now says June... doh! http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-language...;language=en_JP

According to the Bandai Hobby site: http://bandai-hobby.net/schedule/index.html vol 3 was released on 15th Mar 2010... anyone got news of this? Pretty curious to see the "secret" for this vol. =)

I can't believe Activision hasn't learnt its lesson after the music rhythm genre imploded last year, no thanks to how Activision milked the 'hero' brand to death. Oh well, COD1/2, MW1/2, thanks for the memories. Given the history of IW/COD/MOH, wouldn't it be ironic if former IW employees (re)joined EA?

Goodness, I ordered both this and the VF-27. Gonna be so broke! Look beautiful though, no regrets!

Pretty interesting excerpt from Katee Sackhoff's interview with IGN. More here: http://tv.ign.com/articles/105/1054694p1.html ========================= Q: And Adama always seemed to be shaving. Sackhoff: Eddie [James Olmos] was always shaving. I have such an awesome story about Eddie and this is so inappropriate. So I get a phone call from one of the executives over at Syfy or NBC, I don't' remember what it was. He's like, "You have to come and see these dailies." I was like, "Dailies from the movie The Plan? I'm not even in The Plan! What do you want me to see The Plan for?" I ended up not being able to [go see them] but he walked me through what happened. Because it was straight to DVD, they didn't have to worry about nudity. So when it was discovered that they could have nudity, all of a sudden they got really excited and Eddie was like, "Fantastic, it's my goal to have nudity now because we could never have it." So there's a scene in the head where everyone's just naked and Eddie on the day is going, "Zoom in on the c**k. Zoom in on the c**k." The camera guy's like, "I can't zoom in the c**k. He keeps covering up the c**k." They're like, "Zoom in the c**k. Get him to do something else with his hands." They're like, "What do you want me to do with his hands?" [Eddie's] like, "Make him shave." So then he's shaving and he's like, "Now, zoom in on the c**k!" And that's on the dailies. I thought it was absolutely hysterical. I was told this and I was like, "That is so Eddie." =====================

there is still no ace combat for the ps3! At this point in time, I'll even settle for a hd 're-master' a la God of War 1/2 just to have some sort of Ace Combat on the PS3. HAWX just doesn't come close. Heck, even a PSN download of AC1-3 would be better than nothing!

This might be a stretch, but I'm thinking images from Variable Fighter Master File Vol2: VF-19? The style looks familiar, that and the fact the article is about the toy being in-hand at GAGraphics editorial office, which incidentally publishes the master file as well

Really? Leaked new Cloudcar, Snowspeeder

Eh, I don't know. The tornado vf-25 in the movie certainly never had those boxes... maybe in the second one. Anyway, here's what I got for the box of 12 I got from Tokyo last week: VF-2S Nexx VF-0S Roy VF-1S Max VF-1S Roy VF-1A CF VF-19 Demonstrator colors YF-22 VF-25 CF RVF-25 VF-25 Ozma VF-27 CF VF-27 Brera I'm quite happy with my mix, since I really wanted the CFs from Collection 2. Would have liked to have gotten the Tornado VF-25 but guess you can't win em all. Anyone else buying full boxes of 12, post what you got here. Curious to see the distribution.

I'll be picking up a box (12 pcs, random) too when I drop by Tokyo next week. I agree with Graham, the little things have started to grow on me. The selection of valks in Set 2 feels better than Set 1 too. I just hope there's VF-25 Tornado in every box!

No, actually, the Guntank I'm waiting for is this: Mass Production Guntank: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/08thmsteam/rx-75.htm Love how much more utilitarian and less-super-robotish it looks.

Yay! I'm glad I waited and stopped myself from getting the VF-11B. The 11C Looks gorgeous! Estimated shipping date... November, as stated. That's fast!

Count me in as one of the newly converted. I only recently completed M7 a couple of months ago, but one of the best things about M7 was the music. Heck, even Planet Dance, though played ad nauseum in the first few episodes, grew on me too. Picked up Ultra Fire during my recent trip to Tokyo as a 'best of' compilation. Eh, I see lots of mentions of Fukuyama Fire. Issit good? I was under the impression that it was a compilation of his previous songs. There're a lot of 'Fire' CDs, don't really know which are the good ones. Actually, this was mentioned on the MF thread months ago, but I think a May'NxFukuyama album would rock. Their performance of 'Totsugeki love heart' was great... FairyxFire anyone?

In the pic from HJ, it says that the facemask ("face shutter") is removeable/replaceable, can't make out the rest of the kanji clearly, but it's a good option for those who like their valks mouthless. Having seen th Fire Valk up close earlier this month at C3, I think 7000 yen is reasonable for it. Size wise, it compares well to the Yamato's VF-1. I think all that remains is to see more shots of the fire valk in fighter mode, since Battroid seems to be done pretty well. Another plus (or minus, depending on how you see it) is the glossy coating on the fire valk. It does make it stand out, but could be potentially prone to scratches.

Seconded. Other possibilities can be the flight deck (with moveable blast shields) or hangar deck (with repair/equipment cranes). Doesn't have to be too big, about the size of the current 1/60 boxes could do nicely. Then include the appropriate accessories like weapons, racks, ladders to simulate launch or maintenance. Can a Regult be considered a peripheral?

I voted VF-0D. It's a pretty bird, and'll finally round up the M0 line. My second vote would be VF-17, in the hope that it'll also lead eventually to a VF-171. Lotsa things you can do with the mold.

It must be... Miria's VF-1 from M7! j/k

Argh, when this topic came out, I thought it was to announce that ADoD was DONE! If each book is supposed to be one TV season, then it's gonna be a long time before it'll ever be completed, since there're supposed to be 7 books, and we're only up to the 4th book, with what looks like a minimum of 4 years between each book... Still, the cast looks good, but I hope the TV adaptation is well structured. As much as I think ASoIaF is THE fantasy series today, the large number of characters and locales can be quite confusing even as a novel, and could be a huge problem for the TV show...

A-W-E-S-O-M-E! So excited, and I just bought Ultra Fire in Akiba too... hehe, hope I can have it autographed! Although, I heard that this time round, the performance won't be in an open area a la AFA08, but will be closed up, so you really have to pay for ticket upgrades to watch the performances. Still unconfirmed though, so don't quote me BOMBA!

Is anyone else having problems logging in to LAFtoys.com? I placed an order last Saturday, but can't seem to be able to log in to check my order status. Sent a couple of emails too but no reply. Wondering if Carlos is having some problem with his server?
