  1. @ Getsuga

    Hehe no thats not me. Went to Manila earlier this month. For Greenhills Shoppesville go for Great Toys, or Wasabi Toys. Great Toys also has a branch in Goldcrest Glorietta 2 in Makati if thats more convenient for you. Last I checked they had 1/60 VF-1 version 2s (bought my VF-1A at Makati and its perfect), YF-19s, and some SV-51s.

  2. Actually, I remember in EP 5 before Sheryl tolds Alto that she's all natural alto was pretty tired after chasing the transport and Sheryl was as almost nothing

    Alto is an oyama, he is not fit for physical exertion.

    FV

    Yep and concerts take alot of energy, that was nothing for Sheryl.

  3. I don't understand the "either/or" mindset. Like you're either die-hard Yamato and hate Bandai, or visa-versa? That's not the case for everyone who is put-off by the look of the DX.

    From the photos we've seen, the DX does not hold the same emphasis on model-like appearance as the Yamato toys do. This is an observation. A fact. This is not an opinion. That is going to be off-putting to people who place a lot of importance on that. Some of us can be more forgiving, assuming the toys live up to other standards we hold important, such as construction and durability. Just like some of us can forgive the more fragile Yamato toys, and their various QC issues if they live up to other standards, and the problems aren't too serious (some of us have never experienced firsthand the horror stories of broken connection tabs, arms breaking off, or even a cracked VF-11 hip, and have only had to deal with one or two instances of messy glue application, or loose joints). Some of us have stopped buying Yamatos, or have stopped buying certain lines due to various problems that made them undesireable to us.

    There's nothing wrong with being discriminating about where you spend your money. Chiding people for having honest criticism of a toy, rather than gleefully throwing their money at everything to come down the pipe, serves no purpose. Neither does trying to tell people who are alright with the look of the DX photos that they shouldn't buy them. The "don't support ugly toys" argument assumes everyone else places as much importance on collector's item looks, when some really would prefer a sturdier toy.

    People need to realize that everyone has different ideas of what is important to them, and so not everyone is going to want the same thing. Sure, if we could get a single Valkyrie that was incredibly accurate and model-like in appearance, while at the same time amazingly sturdy and well put together, then there'd be far fewer complaints. On the other hand, if the DX line turns out to be as fraught with QC problems, floppy joints, and poor construction as the worst Yamato nightmare scenarios then all but those most determined to enjoy whatever Valk toy comes out will be pretty upset.

    Quoted for the truth.

  4. ^^ Personally I would go for canon valks before the special ones. Plus thats a 1/48, he wants a 1/60.

    @Getsuga

    I was in your position a few months back. As the saying goes "nothing beats the original" and lucky for you VF-1 1/60 line just got updated by Yamato. Currently you get to choose between the 1S, 1A, and 1J. You can choose which one to buy first as they are all great. You will probably end up buying most of them anyway. Goodluck.

  5. 11. Bilrer is the founder of SMS, without him there are no SMS, Macross Quarter or VF-25. Also he wanted to harvest the Vajra for the fold quartz, but his main reason is to use the fold quartz to meet Minmay.

    No Quarter = No GAR Bobby Macross Attack/Macross Cannon. :lol:

    Although the VF-25 would still be around as it was developed by LAI. So prolly the NUNS get to test it if SMS was not around.

  6. 1. Implant network consists of many personas, each probably getting a say in decision making.

    2. She wanted to use them not destroy them.

    3. Implant network does its magic, those that arent on board are taken cared of.

    4. From what I saw, there is only 1 mainland which was last spoted hiding in the asteriod field. Battle Galaxy most probably separated to prepare for the finale.

    5. Id be crazy not to go with one of the female leads, but then again not everything is about women. He probably needed to settle things with himself before commiting to other people.

    6. Queen network protocol decyphered by green dog-haired loliblob.

    7. It all started with the science fleet Ranka was in.

    8. Galia IV does not rotate I believe. 1 side always facing Galia I. Its not fit for colonization because of extremes in weather and temperature. But good enough for a military outpost.

    9. Cloud formation?

    10. They had their own agendas and for a moment there, scheming together was easier.

    11. SMS Owner. Also MacrossF version of Macross7 Flower girl.

    12. Because you are automatically forgiven for shooting down Klan-klan costing alot of $$ in repairs. Beats me. Lots of incosistencies there. But it was only on the last ep that he was free from slave mode.

    13. Those were probably legit military who were clueless to Galaxys' plans.
