  1. It can still break the forum format and everybody hates horizontal scrollbars.
  2. You aren't going to make a lot of friends posting two 1200x800 pixel images in a row. Bad netiquette.
  3. It's not like you have a lot of options. The model will fall apart if you play with it too much and the 1/100 might be too small and has similar visual deficiencies as the DX. Monopolies are a bitch. That the VF-25S is still available and in stock at HLJ might be an indicator though that it's not as good as could be. Also, most who have bought the DX seem to have a love/hate relationship with it. And in contrast to Yamato it includes both QC and design issues. The amount of broken shoulder screws approaches the 1/60 VF-1 broken shoulder hinges. [edit]Right on Ghostkiller[/edit]
  4. Yeah, the extremely powerful vectored thrust wreaks havok with YSflight's lift calculation but if you are gentle with the joystick and hold the Gs below 30-35 you can do nice turns without losing too much speed. However YSflight might even be too lenient. I doubt the wings on a VF-25F can generate enough lift to sustain 40g in corners.
  5. The armored VF-25 has just been released. That guy must be working nonstop. And don't even think of trying to fly it in fighter. The complete lack of any lifting surfaces makes for lousy maneuvering. It's a bit like spacefighting only that there still is gravity. Pure engine power FTW.
  6. See the benefit of the web exclusives in that you get the super packs before everyone else. If the super packs get a combo pack rerelease maybe 3 months after the movie would you still bitch around? I mean for the target group, the japanese, it's just a forced preorder part. They don't market to non-japanese so your plight in getting them for double the mrsp from some random guy on the internet is not their concern. Besides web shop exclusive really is only limited in the widest definition of the word. I mean I order everything online, does that make everything exclusive?
  7. If you are not in the USA, remember to click on the US locator on the top right frame.
  8. God I hated that guy. I wish he would have died when his plane was blown up for the umpteenth time. It's one of the many things I hated about M7.
  9. The password is listed under every download. It's: macrosshare.blogspot.com
  10. Well, it could have been Eden that staged a coup to overthrow the corrupt government. Would make great cameo opportunities for both pilots and fighters.
  11. They should do an OVA about the fall of the old UN Spacy administration. Sort of a political thriller with large-scale fleet engagements. Would do great in the current funny series, serious OVA ... series.
  12. I guess the toys fell off the truck right after release date or how does he just sell a brand new item at 50% off list price. The toys themselves might be legit, but are his ways of acquiring them legit as well?
  13. Overdrive needs to get their system back in order. I made three different orders and I had to reconfirm two of them because their server was on the fritz. Seems like most of the time they just get the paypal notification and then have no idea what the money was for. Meh, you just have to pay the 19% VAT and then maybe 1% or so as import tax. But as overdrive always seem to underdeclare their packets I got them scots free. I think only products over 30€ or so have to pay VAT and Yamato always declare their toys as 25$ or 35$. At least they did with the 3 I ordered.
  14. I wonder if they will release the VF-11 in VFX-2 colors like the GN-U. The destroids certainly got their share of alternate color schemes right after launch. On the other hand they would have released a VF-19A first. Ah well, I already have the VF-11 on preorder even though I prefer the VFX colors.
  15. In addition to my previous post. That new depiction of Raramia is miles better than anything we have ever seen of her before, and there are some significant stylistic changes done to her face. It might indeed be an example of the new character designs for the movie.
  16. Could be that there will be more focus on pixey squadron if Klan is indeed going to be a major character in the movie.
  17. Ok my mystake it's a tsu. They both just look the same. However the spelling of Focker/Fokker changes sometimes. In Dyrl when Misa sends the emergency message to Focker in the shuttle at 37 minutes it has a long o and at 57 minutes in the tent it's more of a short o. Furthermore I also heard it with a short o in several SDF episodes. Noticeably the preview lady always pronounces it with a short o. Maybe it's just a dialect issue. Maybe I just get mixed up in all the various English pronounciations of o and whether it's classified as a short o or long o. Anyway it's a short o in German. I am trying to find a video where you can hear the correct pronounciation of Fokker (the aircraft company) but unfortunately most of the videos on youtube are in english and spell it wrong. [edit]Found one: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo7IWcfK9Sg&...feature=related at 6:20 minutes in. The quick cuts in that documentary are giving me a seizure, jeez.[/edit] Btw, he is spelled Focker on his VF-0 in MacZero.
  18. Are you sure that フォッカー is spelled with a long O? The way I see it the correct romanization is Fokka. The shi-modifier causes the o to be short. Just spell it like Fock-ka.
  19. The revolver looks trigun'ish. That longer neck definitely cures some of the dwarfism in the DX, but it looks slightly too small for the body and the long neck aggravates it.
  20. Roy Fokker was american. Australia would have been a prime candidate but their grand cannon was already sabotaged by the anti-un so I don't know where else they could have sheltered. I don't think normal bomb shelters are sufficiently armored to survive an orbital bombardment of such a scale. Damn it, there should be some official background on post-space war 1 Earth. Do we even know if there are other cities than Macross city on earth? Some small settlements sure but large cities?
  21. Well how many brits and americans survived space war 1? There certainly were only a miniscule amount on the SDF-1 and most of Earths survivors were sheltered in the Grand Cannons in Brazil, Africa and Alaska. Alaska was completely destroyed so Earths post-war population is likely made up mostly of Brazilians, Africans and Asians. I don't expect a lot of diversity in the all-english Macross 11.
