  1. So, THEY call me retard and I'm the one who's accused? Not counting Hurin who called me moron and jerk. What's more, there is evidence that the SDF-1 DOES have knees yet it's completely ignored. And yes, I was on topic. The guys calling me retard, not. As far I know, this thread is to discuss the toy, and that's exactly what I was doing until Hurin started stirring poo for no other reason than picking on a newbie. He had refrained from posting, none of this would have happened. You guys only have yourself to blame.

  2. So he moved the head even when it was glued in....that thing is damaged now...

    And yes, this is retarded.

    Damaged? Let me laugh. It's no more damaged than when you decide to customize a Valk with paint and god knows what. There's even a forum here dedicated to people who are "damaging" their Macross figures.

    Not only the head was glued in, but it was crooked, which is not show-accurate either.

  3. Well, at first, it was the look of the Ostrich that brought me to buy it, I liked that radar thing on top and the overall shape of the jet. If a good 1/48 perfect transform version was to be made, maybe I would be interested.

  4. Had the Ostrich last year. I sold it back after 2 weeks, it was such a frustrating toy. The flaw you're pointing out was one that was annoying me amongst other flaws. Then I upgraded to the 1/148 Super Max, that was much better. And then I sold it back and got the YF-19, which is an even better toy imo.

  5. I love the engineering behind the toys, I don't care for stories. I'm a huge Transformers fan yet I only a saw a handful of episodes for Armada, Energon and Cybertron. Never watched Beast Wars. Never seen RID. I find the original movie pretty boring. I have yet to watch all the G1 episodes even though I received the boxset. I collect Brave toys, never seen the show. Same thing for Eldoran. I have a few Gobots, I have no interest in the show. Same goes for Robotech, Macross and all the shows related with the SOC figures I have.

  6. Whatever can justify your love for kidsy shows.

    Everyone else, let's get this thread back on track. While I personally appreciate some of the sentiments, we can't really ask him to drop it if nobody else does.

    you're just once again demonstrating your ignorance.

    Isn't funny that you finish your post with one last attack after asking everyone to stop?

  7. Since the above posters insist on derailing this thread despite what Hurin said...

    Yes, this thread has become almost hopelessly derailed... but in a worderfully hilarious way. Hurin, I don't know if your sarcasm in the face of sheer ignorance is accidental or intended, but it is a riot. :lol:

    Sheer ignorance about a dumb tv show made for kids you mean? Yeah, I can admit that.

  8. So you still don't admit the SDF-1 had knees for a millisecond even though you were showed evidence?

    EDIT 1 : my SDF-1 can turn its head and it looks way better that way.

    EDIT 2 : the way you're being anal about all this issue is way funnier than my ignorance on the subject

  9. You indirectly called me moron while I said absolutely nothing wrong or demeaning. How about that? So that means I can call you moron too? The way you act certainly isn't worthy of an administrator.

    And no, I'm not completely wrong, it's been proven that SDF-1 had knees at some point in the show, even if it was an error.

  10. You're a funny guy. I can voice my opinion just like you, no matter what your knowledge is about that show. And judging by the tone of your posts, I think you're actually the one who needs to calm down. It's just a stupid toy for a stupid show after all. The toy itself is still a good one despite the flaws that I find annoying as a mecha collector who doesn't care about the shows.

  11. So you won't even admit that you were just plain wrong? :) C'mon, there's absolutely NO trick of perspective in that picture, it definitely shows it has knees, there's absolutely no way you could have the SDF-1 in that position without it having knees.

  12. Bottom row, 5th picture. I take it you don't even own the toy? And even if it is not shown turning the head in the movie (although that drawing shows it can), you can assume it can. Because we don't see Rocky Balboa taking a crap in his 6 movies doesn't mean he can't.

  13. Uh, dude. . . are you kidding? The head doesn't turn, nor should it have knees! I mean, don't you want it to be "anime accurate?" I think it would be cool if it rode a unicorn, but it didn't have one in the movie!

    :lol:

    When you create a masterpiece figure, the least you can do is to give it better articulation and stay away from a toy design that's completely outdated. If I want an ugly brick, I will buy the original. Looking at the box with stills from the show, you can see that the SDF-1 can turn its head (turned to the right on the pics).

  14. Got mine this morning. Nicely detailed, but the thing is unfortunately somewhat flimsy and not very well articulated. I wish the arms could at least lock on the legs in ship mode. Would have been easy to give it knees and a head that could turn. But it's still an okay display piece.

    EDIT : looks like the head CAN turn... you just have to force it a bit, looks there was too much glue in there.
