    I agree with this observation. Also, we have to take into account that people of his time were very prejudiced and and very imbalanced worldviews. I think he pretty much had a world view well ahead of his time, evident in his later works. Anyway, back to this film. The reviews are mostly polarized, according to the professional reviews i have seen so far. Those reviews either gushing over it, or were saying that Jackson et al, raped their childhood. Oh well, no matter. Will be watching it anyway. I suspect I should be enjoying it very much, if most of the reviews compare the action favorably to the earlier Indiana Jones films

    As above. It is almost impossible to get the the latest discussions for some of the very long threads with a number of pages. While we are at it, at least for me, the inability to directly jump from 1 forum to the other using the drop down menu, because it is now non-existant, at the end of the page, makes it more troublesome when i want to say, go directly from "Toys" to the "Anime" section. Just some feedback of things that used to work, but now couldn't. Thanks again for the hard work Shawn.

    Either way, release dates are always in the later part of the announced month. Too bad... gonna be in HK for the weekend...no-VF-19S for me in HK.

    Generally IIRC, for those release with no specific release date, it means the very last day of the month. Only those with specific release dates, which are very few, gets a release specifically on the release date. Just curious. How early do the HK retailers get it from the official release?

    Watched a chinese sub yesterday night, and while I liked it, i must say that the concert scenes weren't integrated as well as the TV series. In fact the concerts seemed too.... extravagant. While the songs are nice (though lacking the wow factor from the series's songs), I thought more effort could have been spent on choreographing the fight scenes instead of creating elaborate scenes.... but thats just me.

    Ouch... the 25 renewal seems to suffer from a very bad case of osteoporosis! Wonder how easy it is to get hip replacement surgery...

    That is what I have been doing actually so far.... but it has reached the point where the "is it worth this kind of money" question bugs me to no end.

    I would really love to pre-order it, but with this price and how strong the Yen is.... the VF-17, together with the Blazer VF-19 Valkyrie, and possibly any further releases of new Macross Valkyries by Yamato, is really priced beyond what i can afford nowadays.... and I had been looking forward to these guys. ...

    HLJ's Macross sale.

    Some items like the GBP standalone armor have already been yanked from the sales slightly after they got to "back-order" status. Once you see "low stock", you gotta act fast

    I can attest to the "more susceptible to yellowing" part. I have tried this process on my old 1/60 VF-1A V.1. Worked beautifully, but after 1 month, it went back to being yellow... and more yellow at that! needs some sort of sealer (clear acrylic spray) to seal it in. Clear acrylic spray might work as a prevention too... though not too sure abt that.

    Here is my current Frontier 1/60 Valk display... still a WIP though, not entirely satisfied with the positioning and poses... but the damn joints are so loose they are really hard to pose : Another view:

    Maybe some merchandising rights.... but not the rights to make the toys.... yet.

    Please don't let this faceplate or whatever-happened-to-the-face-after-it-gets-jizzed-by-the-whale issue degenerate into another silly argument. Bottom line. The "clean" VF-19P should not come with any face, period. Whether later down the road the red 19P gets an exclusive or gets a face or not, that is totally not a concern of mine. Totally do not care for it.

    This picture was from many years ago....

    Those focus on the VF-1 kits are not... the VF-1s. look at the pictures carefully: You have the Ko-Millia baby Pod, Battroid mode side-covers and the elevated pilot seat under the neck.
  20. BlueMax
    The point was: There is a character tied to the CF 27, in this case Grace, who is pretty substantial to the plot. So the point still stays, if purely cannon fodder with no character tied to it.

    HLJ Yamato Sale!!!

    When I saw the Regult as part of the promotional banner, i was pretty excited, but turned out to be a measly 10% off...
  22. BlueMax
    Likewise
  23. BlueMax
    Very nice! I especially like how you used different forced perspectives. I can imagine those pictures as images used on posters

    Yes, in Graham's mobile. He was challenging people to break into his phone... Lol
