Graham's Sig

[kensei]

Yeah..that's amphibious.....

Mac0 Octo?

That's what I mean by amphibious. We can' use it for the VF-X2 underwater mission.

No destroids liao.

Hey the VF-0D went underwater for a couple of minutes, so there you go

Hmm.. veweee eeentawesting.

[eugimon]

I'm going to be the party pooper... if it's the VF-0D, I'm not even going to bother reading about it until I hear graham say they fixed the shoulder issuer.

[kensei]

That issue can really be fixed by making the shoulder thicker. It might even tighten the shoulders up!

That and using a plastic that won't go brittle in a month.

It's not really the shoulder that's causing the problem. It's the shoulder ball-joint with the large parting line. I don't know if it was intended to be this way, but I can, without a doubt, say this is the actual piece at fault. If the parting line was flush with the ball joint, you would only have to increase the size of the rubber cap located in the shoulder. It would make a tight and uniform fit. The way it works now is, the parting line causes the circular cavity in the arm to expand and attempt to accomodate by stretching...then viola, you either get stress marks or broken shoulders.

It's a quote from D.R. & Quinch. Nothing to do with Yamato or Macross this time, sorry.

And if you haven't read D.R. & Quinch, you should.

Graham

Did everyone just miss Graham's post about his sig? Maybe we want new Yamato/Macross news so bad that even when Graham tells us he's not hinting at anything, we don't believe him

[kensei]

I've always been a firm believer that Graham loves to screw us up psychologically.

[HoveringCheesecake]

Exactly. Seems like Graham is just screwing with us as usual. *shakes fist*

[Dante74]

If that were true, who would Geoffrey be? a Yamato intern?

I believe Graham this time. I really think the sig is just for fun.

So Graham, can you tell us what your sig meant yet?

I, for one, am still very curious.

[Macross73]

yeah and exp1anation of 60 what was hYdden there For 2 dang 1ong

would be nice

[Lonewolf]

Well to revive this topic, what do you think his new sig means :

Catch a falling Starfighter

Put it in the pocket of your jeans

You can use it as a cigarette lighter

Or as an opener for a can of beans

[Busted VF1A]

Graham has lost his mind?

... or is practicing bad Haiku

[Dobber]

Why it's the VF-11 of course!!! Think about it, it catches the YF-21, it has the big ass booster (cigarette lighter), and it has a Bayonette for the can opener!!! Oh God I hope it is the VF-11, I want one sooooo bad!!!

I like Dobber's answer better

I like Dobber's answer better

They're just actually lyrics. You'll find them at the very bottom of the page...http://www.starfarer.net/captlock.html

Care to explain the "pocket" line?

[Dobber]

Possibly because a 1/60 VF-11 will be pretty small compaired to the other 1/60's except the VF-1....just a shot in the dark

Chris

[rotorhead]

i thought yamato would pimp out the vf-1 one more time and make a macross leatherman tool, complete with corkscrew and toenail clippers. oh, and of course with a lighter and a canopener. man, i can't wait for the low-vis version of that!

[HoveringCheesecake]

Hmmm, if it is a VF-11 I will be very pleased. It's the only Plus VF that I want. I would, however, like to see an Enigma VF-1 before the 1/48s are done.

[Scream Man]

This is like High School poetry; reading things into lines that just happened to rhyme

i hated High school poetry...

[Lonewolf]

Well I guess time will tell.

I like Dobber's interpretation though.

Chris

Indeed.

[Sumdumgai]

A VF-11 would kick so much ass! Need a VF-11!

Now I'm all excited over what could be nothing...

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

If true, hopefully the booster looks more like the anime this time. The boxy 1/72 FP really spoiled the thin look of the fighter mode imo.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

the 11 before the 21? What is this madness?

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Possibly because a 1/60 VF-11 will be pretty small compaired to the other 1/60's except the VF-1....just a shot in the dark

Chris

Thanks, Dobber. The SV-51 sig was easy, but I was lost this time

I hoped for the 21 first, but that's okay. If Yamato is doing the 11, the 21 can't be too far behind

Sincerelly, I think it mean a key-chain valkyrie. Pocket of jeans.... Lighter or can opener....

Or maybe a valk the size of a lighter or a can opener which could fit in your pocket?

I'm a crazy?

In support of the VF-11 theory (and as my first official post as a member of Macrossworld!), I interpret it this way:

In Macross Plus, the VF-11 did catch a falling YF-21 (as stated above).

The jean pocket thing I'm lost on - perhaps he just threw it in to rhyme, or maybe it's a general statement that it will be a toy? I think "jeans" rhymes with "beans" is about as deep as the line goes, just my gut talking.

But the last two lines make sense this way:

Cigarette lighter/can opener? It was the only model to feature a bayonet on its gun pod (as stated above), but also recall that gun pods have been used to light giant cigarettes for Zentraedi.

Either way, I'm happy to be here and hopefully I can bring something positive to the community.

Is that a VF-11 booster in your jeans, or are you just happy to see me?

First, welcome aboard Dio. Second, I like your theory in support of the Vf-11. That sounds like something Graham would think of.

[do not disturb]

VF-11B?

looks like my mom will have to wait for her operation.

[Valkyrie addict]

oh rats!! VF-11?? I've just pre-order the club-M recast on hobbyfan, but, hell yeah, I want vf-11 pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee with fast packs on 1st release please, and a smaller box since it's a smaller fighter

[Dante74]

Although I'd love a VF-11, I expect Graham to drop in any minute now and go 'WTF?! Guys, it's just a song that I like! shees!'
