Is that the full game? I read somewhere they were going to release it as episodes

It's the first part of the new Remake story, covering the Midgar portion of the original game, lengthened and extended to a full release and story arch. It's not a 1:1 Remake of the original game and story, there will be more parts but there's no word on how many and when.

I'm getting a Rhino Alien from my LCS if and when Diamond sends out the shipping out.  Have you opened up the package yet @sh9000?

I only opened the flap cover and the Rhino Alien looks great in person.

It covers the Midgar portion of the original game. But it's greatly expanded and is a full length 40-50 hour game on its own. I'm at 40-something hours in and it's one of the best games I've played in awhile.

After I finish it, I'll play it again on classic mode, which recreates the pseudo-real time turn-based combat of the original game.

I just finished my first playthrough at 39 hours to do and collect everything, I dabbled with classic mode but it's kind of lame, it's locked to easy difficulty which is way too easy.

Hi Gang, been away for a while.  Do you guys know if a Bandai DX Chogokin VF-1S Fokker is planned for release?

 

Bandai's next release is Kakizaki's DYRL VF-1A, if they're building that one then a Roy VF-1S is just a matter of time. B))

Looks like Marvel Legends Red Hulk is more rare in my area than sanitizer.  Got 2 and left the rest.

Got this already!

Transformers-Newage-Skywarp-DSC08115.jpg.67457bca106316e7604863525d2e0958.jpg 

I didn't realize it was going to be so tiny but the engineering is fantastic! It looks a lot better than any MP Seeker I've sen so far and the articulation is pretty damn good. Very nice but again, I thought I was getting a Generations sized figure so while I am very impressed and glad to experience it, I will not be investing in anymore of these.

Maybe.

Their Jazz and metallic toy Megatron look pretty good too...

It’s the box art from 80’s transformers toys. Indeed it is Jetfire

Got my 3rd party Sazabi earlier this week. It's closer to a customized MG w/ metal joints than a Metal Build.

It looks awesome. Can't wait to get my own.

Warning, as it's a Sazabi the articulation isn't super good, and it's pretty light (like at best 1/2 the weight of the Kshatriya), but damn if it doesn't look good.

Also those metal joints are freaking TIGHT, try to loosen them up before assembly, lest you crack some plastic on accident.

Yep, I think we’ve discussed this here before but Jetfire was a reuse of the Takatoku 1/55 VF-1 mold to create a Transformer. Unfortunately for Hasbro, it was the Transformer that put all other Transformers to shame and basically put the nail in the coffin for Tramsformers as far as I was concerned. Many years later and it’s come full circle for me as Arcadia and Bandai Valks again put MP Transformers to shame. This little guy I just got is pretty impressive though and reminds me of the playability of the HMR line.

For many years I stared at this super cool artwork, and I wished for a Valkyrie.

It is  so cool we can enjoy Valkyries these days.

Indeed! Jetfire was my only “nice” TF and is the reason I collect Macross now. (Though like most Americans, Robotech is why I watched Macross.)

I got Jetfire around 2001. It took me about 17 years to get it, and then I got the chunkey monkey re-releases from Bandai.  Same here, it was a guy at work during the 90's who introduced me to Macross, and explained the Robotech connection to me.  It has been a long journey, but i am glad companies decided to revisit Macross, and realized how many passionate fans there were out there.

This (when I finally get one, still waiting for the postage situation to improve before I make full payment) will very much be a display only. I am find with the fixed post (like the post you have) and just keep it at that.

I can't imagine how much time and money I will need to put in to get a display piece like this if my only options is to buy the MG kit and add all the extra resin conversion.
