know what, they could've been thinking about non-Japan residents when they were making this... ...they were probably thinking "hey, lets make a fan racer and make it an exclusive, all-white, non-painted, w/out landing gears, no pilot figs model kit... that would piss those guys off!..." but seriously, it's more of a disappointment to get really excited about three new releases and find out this crap they're pulling... i just don't get their logic behind this fan racer and for the 22, not including the stand that came w/ the 21 but providing stand attachment for who knows what display stand...

you guys are soooo addicted! lol your wallets are screaming for some V.A. intervention!

could be for the old launch arm stands...??? would you need tooling (i heard this is expensive) for those stand adapters??? if those are different from the ones packaged w/ the 21, why the hell not just include the same damn stand and ask for the same damn price??? ... people who bought the 21 apparently felt the heftier price tag was justified coz it included a stand much like w/ the SV51s... the people who are going to buy this have already been conditioned when it comes to the price... i just don't get it...

i really liked the height you could get when displaying in f-mode using those stands that came w/ the 21 and SV51... even the 6" flexys doesn't come near the height you could mount them using those stands... oh well...

sucks that it doesn't come w/ a stand... has anybody gotten the new Yamato stands and can it be used w/ the 21? or will this 22 have new attachments for the new stand?

yes it is! so which one did you get... the anime accurate one or the new goofy looking one? i for one prefer the original...

maybe coz it won't come w/ the stand???

pilot fig looks better than the Guld fig... liking the gerwalk pic and side profile b-mode... pics are making me think twice... don't have enough funds...

WTF!!! what's next, they'll tell us to just use the pilot fig we got from our VF-1Ds...

LOL ... i didn't mean they'd give us EVERYTHING that we want... hell, put in a free ticket to Japan + Yamato coupons for every 5 valks you purchase while they're at it...

ohhhh... NICE!

damn that! guess this was the only way to jack up the price... otherwise, just by looking at it, it should only cost 15 bucks... i would really want this if it was like that kids toy that has a string and you peg it on the ceiling and it has a little motor and goes round and round and round...

well i don't think Yamato thinks more about what casual buyers would want than what Macross fans would want...

you forgot the beer! and yeah, ^ pineapple salad too...

cool... and there's a 1/60 1A CF on Yamato's site too http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1335 w/ better colors IMO than the 1J CF... and the 22S is there too http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1351... anybody mention the 1/60 Fan Racer in the "Yamato's next move" thread??? sorry for hijacking your thread ff...

yeah, even if the 11 comes third after the 19 and 21, it still is a pretty HOT valk! in some ways, i actually like it a li'l better than the 21, like in battroid (in the anime)...

yeah, i know that... but he could have easily been logging on using a local internet cafe or starbucks or a friend's account or used a faked-out email account to register on MW etc... how'd they pin the IP or the email account to him??? ... guess we'll never know...

good job finding out the real culprit of your symptoms (ended up it wasn't a trivial or laughing matter) and good luck getting those bastids!

guess he was gunning for his 4000+ post in a year title... 11+/day x 365... but what i want to know is what hard evidence did the mods find out??? was it something high tech like hacking into his new account and getting his personal info... or something stupid like sending a PM saying "shhh, i'm ryno..." ...

it's real alright... almost finished dl'ing (man, is this dl slow or what!...) took a sneak peek, opening looks good...

this real??? bah, i'll dl it anyways... when did the DVD come out? totally forgot about this... thanks for the link man...

just finished watching... Maz History lesson... hope to see more action in the next ep!

yep, that's exactly how i feel watching this... i know Maz was banned here in the PI way back when, but i seem to remember seeing a couple episodes on TV... somehow those few eps ingrained in my mind Maz's Rocket Punch and Aphrodai's titty rockets... memories seem a bit fuzzy though... but yeah, this show for me is SUPER ROBOT AWESOME on so many levels! yeah! Voltes V and Daimos too FTW! BTW, if you're interested in watching the old Maz series... here's the LINK... subs are a bit rough though...

it doesn't really bother me either... but i found out while fiddling w/ the fuselage/neck area while transforming to b-mode, that if you don't push it in all the way, maybe a mm short so the gray neck piece is perfectly horizontal, the hatch for the hip bar closes much tighter and doesn't open when posing the legs... and there's less of the priest collar showing...

wow... so it was really him... poor guy... i kinda guessed it was him after his 2nd day posting... i was guessing he was either sneaking back in using a new or somebody else's connection or he was let back in on the condition that he would remain anonymous or something... aside from the obvious "1979", comment pattern, etc., how'd you (mods) find out for sure it was him??? (just curious... ) apologies if i shouldn't have brought this up, but i was looking for something to post to get me out of my "666" post #, and was wondering why 1979 had been awfully quiet...
