some pics of the metallic version at the recent toy show http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/2008/10/hm0030.html (scroll down)

some more pics of the Beagle's... not sure if its been posted before... but IMO, if that is really the end product we're getting, then it's very disappointing. the thing looks plasticky, esp the figure itself - look at that chest.... good thing is it is perfect transformation, no need to remove parts. http://postchan.exblog.jp/9827665/

i read from Toysdaily that the Shinobu's version might be limited to 1000 pcs. but i dont see this in several other websites...

damn... that Mint pillion figure is tempting me to get Houquet/Fuke... 2 figures of Mint comes with CMS Fuke, one is a standing pose, the other is a pillion rider/"tandem" pose that can be used with CMS Rey. I didn't get CMS Yellow coz it didnt have chest missiles. i hope MH comes out with their Houquet and Shinobu versions soon. complete with Mint of coz... BTW, these CMS figures are on sale in November.

have to agree that's a nice review. just want to mention that my dark legioss didn't have that tight metal hinge problem. (however, my blue legioss has an extremely tight left shoulder metal joint....) and his pics the off-white coloring of the chest intake was not that obvious. mine is... T_T

oh yeah, there's no Sheryl's Aimo too? i thought i heard that somewhere.... can't remember

OST 2 is awesome. my fav now is #6 Anata no oto, and #10 Sheryl's Fairy is not bad too. Love that Medley, but still think the part with Interstellar Flight is kinda weird and abit off. and pity i thought we get a longer Ranshe's version of Aimo. Aimo OC sounds kinda scary. nice in a different way.

yes its 2 different tones. the chest "white" is in fact yellowish yucks! that lower part of the claw is not poseable duuh. was interesting to see the intake details again, didn't notice them in the pics before. hmmm is it confirmed Toynami's version comes with an additional head or is the toynami ver head gonna replace the japanese version? i've always been hearing that it is a replacement not an addition.

I was right: - in Ep 1, red Vajra was trying to capture Ranka not kill her - purple stone fold quartz are special, those various accessories with purple stones - Emotion is the important factor - Luca was captured instead of being killed because Vajra collects fold quartz - WTF-1 is not SDF-1 - male agent is Grace in disguise - Final ep fight between Battle Frontier and Battle Galaxy! - Alto doesn't chose to resolve the triangle I was wrong: - Vajra are Protoculture's guards - at end of ep 18, "human faces" in that gray colored brain-like thing might be Ranshe and others (btw they never show this again?!! what the hell is this anyway?!...) - etc etc... can't remember right now

hmmm... that last scene - did the vajra leave this galaxy? or was that just an explanation of the vajra mating song Aimo?

hmm didn't u guys say the same thing? BTW, to be real picky.... the original SDF-1's Daedalus Attack was done with the right punch, while the Quarter did a "Macross Attack" with the left arm (would've been a "Prometheus Attack" ). Battle Frontier was using its right punch though... Anyway, can anyone tell me why Alto bailed out of his VF-171EX and flew it straight at Brera? because he was resigned to the fact that the vf-171ex is no match for vf-27 and he wanted brera to think he was dead (which makes Alto seem like a coward)? or was it for the lame reason of a cliff-hanger for ep 24? when u look at how he got out and then "came back to life" just to say he has evidence - the whole thing is really.... weird. what was he trying to do? and what kind of evidence he has on Leon? OMG!! u solved the mystery. So they WERE playing pinochle!!

totally agree with you on this. Alto loves one thing for sure - flying, in a real sky. HEY!!! Seriously!! I was thinking of Alto x Ai-kun pairing joke.. lol... while Ranka x Sheryl after they both dumped Alto. Alto never chose anyone. Period. anyone who argues otherwise is really in denial. In fact, since Alto probably didn't really seriously consider either of them in a romantic way, they ain't even contenders to begin with Alto being gay would solve the 'shipping wars. And we'll have a good ending for Bobby too - one he deserves so well! Bobby FTW!!

it never crossed my mind that SK was trying to avoid SDFM at all. as for the removal of Macross kits and other editing, didn't H.Crap boast about the expensive machine they used to remove the extra moon in Southern Cross? They can use it again .... IF they can get the license. (FAT CHANCE)

aaah thanks for the pics klam1020! noticed Galaxy's emblem says "Since 2336" ??!?! what's that mean?! Alto's 171EX has more armor and thrusters on those legs and the chest. Still can't tell much differences between Luca's ghosts and the common NUNS version, other than the color differences and the marking on it saying SMS instread of NUNS

thanks for pointing the differences in the lyrics!! and i totally agree with you - Music is indeed the universal language!! and Frontier music is absolutely fantastic! Kudos to the Goddess of Music Yoko Kanno!! m(_ _)m

the only way to solve this without Sheryl x Ranka fan wars is for the movie to skip several years and start with Alto being married or in a relationship with some other person - a completely new character. BTW Ranka was kissing Sheryl's boobs at the end of the ep 25, so there u go, its a Ranka x Sheryl ending.

Thanks for the list of Ghosts pics!! so there's a purple colored variant to the V9? and i vaguely remembered reading a magazine article which mentioned that Luca's ghosts are different from the "normal" ghosts from NUNS, but i couldn't really tell the different from the small picture. also noticed that the Galaxy's V9 placed its eye camera back onto the front tip of the ghost just like the Macross Plus' X9 version.

can anyone tell me about the various Ghost units? esp their differences... thanx

I hope for a continuation. maybe a few months or years from the last ep. And Alto is now in a relation with some other guy/girl just to piss off the fans and end the 'shipping wars. that would be so funny...
