Macross_Fanboy

Mine don't fall off, but I made one pop off now it doesn't stay down and give a flush appearance when looking at it from the front in Fighter mode, I just transformed it back to Fighter mode after being in Battroid with the Sound Booster since the summer. All the weight it had was mostly put on the left leg so now foot is all kinds of loose as what others are experiencing now. Other than that, this is an awesome toy regardless of the small gripes.

Ah! One more to add to my list as I was assed out of the VF-X. Looking at getting a part time job to help me raise funds for upgrades to my car and this I suppose.

How about us NorCal MWers meet at Beer 39 in San Fran? That place is solid.

Is that a Miria VF-17 on the open book on the table?

Awesome! Ultimate fandom! Reminds me of the time I went to the Budokan performance back in November 2008, I think I can spot myself on the Blu/DVD release.

Man, I wish I still lived in Japan.

One for the 30 Year Anni. would be awesome.

Su-79s and Su-80s on Super Hornets suck too... Anyways, thanks to the holiday season and unforeseen expenses, I had to cancel my pre-order. I hope I get my amended return soon so I can snag it. Can't wait for Xmas though, I'm making my wife get me the VF-17.

The E-6Bs at my squadron are white, but they carry no nukes, they pass the word.

That's probably the only design feature of the SV-51 I don't like, the canards are fixed. How'd you break them?

That blows. Did HLJ charge for VF-1 part replacements? It was to my understanding that they only charged the S&H.

Damn Kevin, that's crap! Hey, you opened up shop again?!

They sold clusterfrakk in this one. I have to stick to cockpit view or HUD because everything else happening around you is too distracting, especially in DFM although it is cool when you're blazing away with your cannon for that sweet close up.

I'm just upset Hkaru's VF-1D hasn't been re-issued, i would like a nice one since I fracked up the current one when I got a replacement thigh/intake part from Yamato for free.99 and was in a rush to assemble it for no apparent reason.

You paid shipping or actual money on the replacements? I wanted to help some guys out, but the process was a pain to go through just in calling them because like I said in my previous post, I don't think Shin 0A arms are available.

I wouldn't go as far as saying AC6 didn't sell well for 360 considering PS3 was still expensive at the time and 360 still had an edge in sales. I'm sure the majority of the sales were in Japan itself and very dismal in the Americas. Either way, I was reserved about the game, and I still like it besides its real-world tired story of evil Russians and a bomb. It was probably one of the franchise on the chopping block too if it didn't churn out good sales abroad. Oh, I also don't like how they didn't add a self-computing gunsight and score counter for Free Mission, that crap is annoying when you think you kicked ass only to get a B or C rating, or worse, a D.

But it isn't as gimmicky as you make it seem because it does come at great risk because it doesn't read the inputs 100% of the time since it depends on how level your aircraft is and if your opponent is smart enough to hang back while you try and bring him in as close as possible. Star Fox lets you do it no matter what and you don't die as easily. The skill that doesn't exist in the game is when some douche decides to descend from 15-20k feet all the way into the ground trying to make you crash. That's like BFers claiming their game is soooo realand COD is not when neither is not because you can't go up to an F-18 and fly it and RPGs don't wipe out entire floors of buildings or launch a nuke from a Panasonic ruggedized laptop. People saying the developers need to have their senses knocked into them need to have senses knocked into themselves. The creator said it needed to change and it probably reflects the attitudes that Japanese game developers are becoming more irrelevant in recent years so they needed to do something with the franchise to get new fans to play it and show them that it is still appealing. AC6 was good, but nobody was invested in the story of Matilda quite like Wardog or Mobius 1. My only downers in the game is lack of boresight targeting (AC0), High G maneuvering(AC) and no Strangrealworld and the Super Hornet with it's weak capabilities compared to what it could do in AC5(AMRAAM) and AC6(JSOW).

Ace Combat was never realistic. People who insist that they were should probably go play something like Energy Air Force(or whatever they called it in the States). It was always meant to be arcady.

Yeah some of them called them PTs when they most certainly weren't when compared to Yamato's.

No! I still haven't checked mine yet! Damn!

Can't wait for this thing, it's a gift to myself for my birthday!!

You should try Tam Tam of Route 16 not too far off from Sagamihara if you live along the Tokyu/Hanzomon line. It is the largest hobby shop I have ever been in and where I picked up my VF-11B and a few other Valks that escape my memory besides kits here and there. Or Big Camera at the Yokohama train station square.

A get together would be nice. Last time I saw any members was in 2004(?) at that MWCon. Only faces I remember Kevin(Valkyrie Exchange owner) and Alex(Exo). Had a beer, good carne asada, played some Macross PS2, got me a VF-0S kit, and looked at all the memorabilia. I'm sure the residents thought we were weirdos.

YF-19DN, it's tightened up and the color scheme is awesome with the FPs and when you transform it, it all literally falls into place.

So December is its release at a whopping 26,000 yen?! Damn, I hope I get Visa gift cards if I even get gifts this year that aren't for my house. I should make my wife get this since I'm considering Shin's VF-0A w/Booster.
