Why, thank you sir! Where do I pick it up? Kevin and Tam have many of them for sale.

No luck at Target, or Toy's R Us here, in Gaithersburg, MD. Anyone in Frederick have any luck. The 2005 board had some sightings there.

This is a regular Nu Gundam as seen in CCA.

Back to Guymelef mode. Looks great. Due to the nature of the legs, and the cape dragging the shoulders, it is not very posable, but is an awesome display piece.

On my bookshelf

OK, got it in Dragon mode. Not a horribly complex transformation, though contrary to what the instructions say (maybe this was what Graham was referring to?) I would take the cape off first. That step doesn't come till after you change the legs. It gets in the way that way. The toy feels sturdy, like I could transform it several times with no parts stressing. The only thing I could see happen is the knees stressing in dragon mode over time. Without the stand it will not stand on its own.

Sorry for the quality of this pic, but the instructions are indeed bilingual. Still trying to figure out this thing. Once I have him set up right I'll put some pics up unless someone beats me to it.

All right! Got mine in today. Thanks, Kevin! Here are some box pics:

Where is the quasi-optimistic Christmas cheer people???

A how-to from Optimus himself! Great. That's not really a bad stop-gap measure at all. I may have considered something like that myself. My Prime is going to go in robot mode though. I might pull my G1 out of stoorage and leave in truck mode. Don't know yet.

Thank you so much for the links. I've been wanting to download some of these for a while.

I was right on 4 out of 5 at least. Don't really agree with releasing another Minmei (TV ver. this time) for Series 2. Myung would have been a much better choice to have someone from M+. At least we get Roy and Misa this time.

I'll check tomorrow after work or during lunch. How much are these things running for?

Back to topic, so how did it go tonight, MM? I know it won't be anything bad at this point, I'm just curious what about what they are leaving. The cookie idea sometime during the week sounds like it would be nice. It would still be nice to know in the end who'd doing all this, but this is looking like an elaborate Christmas idea, and no malice at all.

even a pre-fab house, trailer, or hut is still considered a house.

Since my Hikaru 1J is in Battroid, I think I'll use him inside my CF that I have in Gerwalk right now. Thanks for the tip. By the same token, a VF-11FP pilot will also fit in a YF-19/VF-19A. I tried that too.

I was watching Flashback a little while ago, and noticed in the tv footage that Hikaru had Roy's helmet in his house on the table. Not really surprized he would have that, but I would have figured Claudia would have kept it. Maybe she gave it to him I guess. I just thought it was kind of cool, and that I'd share it. I never noticed that before.

Single for the moment.
