Just got this over the weekend and yeah, it's an awesome TF. I like how good it looks in Biplane mode, and how steampunk it is in robot mode. A thought just occurred to me, but wouldn't it be awesome to have a line of TF toys based on realistic WWI/WWII vehicles? Imagine TFs based on Tigers, Shermans, B-17s, Zeros, Mustangs, Whippet tanks!

Argh... why must these by Ichiban Kuji goods and not regular releases? :headbang: These will be next to impossible to find...

Get it for Valkyria Chronicles, trust me you won't be disappointed! Great gameplay and story. And there's an event in the game that has an impact not quite felt since FF7 game spoilers follow: I'm thinking of trying out a FPS for the PS3, narrowed it down to two actually: Resistance2 and Killzone2... any comments which is better? Ghostbusters released! Review here. Looks fun!

Ok, finished the game last week and just started watching the anime (didn't want to spoil myself for the game). At episode 3 right now. Good to see some of my favourite characters from the game appearing (Marina, Jann!!!), hope they get some voice roles, the VA for Jann in the game was just hilarious!

Blue Noah... Earth Federaion Fragship... ah, don't you just love Japlish... Anyway, awesome trailer!

Actually, I'm still waiting for any news of Ace Combat on the PS3...

To be fair, the 1/100 and 1/72 versions are due this month, while the DX has been pushed back to Aug/Sep. So likely we'll see pictures start popping up in July, since there's a major toy show then.

I dunno, I think the add-ons for the RVF and VF-25G are a bit of a hard-sell. especially since for that same amount it seems you're getting a whole lot more with the Alto/Ozma Super packs. Still, the RVF practically demands a Ghost to accompany it. But I'm seriously considering to instead get the RVF-25 model kit and do up the ghosts from there, it's only gonna be 20% smaller and you get all three at a much cheaper price. I figure I can live without the missles and fold comms antenna from the web exclusive too.

Yes, please! I'd love to find out what the writers had planned for S3. Seemed as waste to have ended TSCC as the premise in the S2 finale looked interesting.

4th ROTF leader-class Starscream? It's something we've all been wishing for since the first movie! No pics yet though.

More close-up pics from GA Graphics: http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/012903/ More at the site. So it looks like the back half of the head is re-scuplted too eh

Does anyone here have the OD Defender yet? Any changes from the normal ver? Really dig the color scheme, much more so than the OD Tomahawk!

I caught it yesterday. I haven't been following any spoilers, so was very surprised when I enjoyed it a lot. I consider myself a casual Trek fan, having watched some of TNG, most of DS9, some of Voyager, and all the movies, but never did bother with all the technobabble. The movies was a great ride, it's got that energy which the star trek movies have tended to lack. Sulu's retractable blade was too cool for words. I loved that scene where the crew was explaining how their . That scene seemed to be written just for the hardcore fans, kinda like it was telling them things are going to be different from what you know. Chekov did seem to be over-doing the accent thingy though. And yes, Nimoy's inclusion in the show was a great choice!

I'll be catching it this evening... looking forward to it! =)

With the Shizuoka hobby show coming up in about a week's time, I'm looking forward to hopefully colored pics of the Armored Messiah, and hopefully previews of what's next after that. Keeping my fingers crossed about a VF-27 or VF-171... it's about time! We're almost done with the VF-25s, except for the cannon fodders

Yeah, you just know from the trailers that the first half of the movie is gonna be all about how Sam is fitting into to college and missing Mikhaela, with Bumbleebee occasionally popping by to say how miserable he is. At least we should have Megan Fox eye candy to tide us by till the 'bots and 'cons start showing up

What it says (based on my rudimentary japanese):

Got it from one of the local shops over here. =) Bought SF4 a few days back. All the memories started coming back and I felt like a kid again... and I realized how much I still suck at it Ah well, still fun! Anybody bought the Wolverine game? Seems the reviews are saying it's a pretty decent movie game and true to wolvie's nature... lotsa flying body parts

After looking at the pics of the VF-22, I've done something I've never done before... I've pre-ordered a Yamato macross valk! I'm not usually one for first runs but I figure since this is technically a repaint of the almost problem-free YF-21, I'm hoping there'll be minimal problems in this release. I just wish there were more pics of the head. All the photos I've seen have the two points of light reflecting off the visor, makes the VF-22 look like it's squinting and all dorky-like.

Count me in the PS3 club finally. Picked up a white 80GB one over the weekend with Valkyria Chronicles. Essentially bought it to play Valkyria Chronicles. Love the art style from the anime, and been hearing good things about it. Still getting used to the pseudo-realtime combat system. Not used to the fact that if you stop moving and aren't shooting, the enemy will keep on taking potshots at you. Seems like you gotta press the 'cancel' button immediately after your shot to minimize damage. Downloaded the KZ2 and WipeoutHD demos too. I've been a FPS gamer on the PC for a while now, using a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard is hard, almost seems impossible to precise aim/headshot! Ironically, I've been spending more time streaming media onto my tv with the PS3 Media Server than gaming. Unexpected cool gimmick: the auto generated photo slideshow is great! Borrowed MGS4 from my bro-in-law. Gonna pick up SF4 over the new few days. Still deliberating if I should get KZ2. Demo level was all sorts of intense / awesome though! I hope the rumours of Ace Combat returning to the PS3 are true!

Given the fact that the Armored VF-25 is but a month or two away (June 2009). I'm surprised we haven't seen more updated or colored pics yet. Makes me wonder if it'll be delayed. I don't mind though, since the VF-22 is supposed to be out in June too. Gonna be an expensive month, that.

Yuuuuuup. Golden week! http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2282.html EDIT: To add to the list of possible re-paints, I just watched Ep20 of M7 last night, and lo and behold, Milia's red VF-11 looks good too! http://www.new-un-spacy.com/macross7/varia...f-11b-milia.htm

I wonder if the VF-22 will come with a heatshield/armor over the cockpit? Never really paid the VF-22 much attention before, but noticed from the Macross Mecha Manual that the canopy is protected while in battroid mode.

Aye, same here too. Much prefer the VF-11C colors, or even the VFX2 colors over the M+ colors. The fact that there's a VF-22 gives me hope that there'll be a repaint of the VF-11 soon! =)

I like the design of the VF-11, not so much the Isamu DYRL colors though. Much prefer the M7 CF pale gray/white color scheme, but I guess since M7 is a Bandai licence, we'll never see such a repaint?
