  1. Did those names apply to the chunky monkeys also? The first valkyrie toy I ever got was a takatoku VF-1S with no paks, and the comic store owner called it a Focker Special. Kids these days lol...
  2. What does the blue text mean?
  3. Loved Zero. That is all...
  4. Yeah everything was right about that movie. Not much of a Sharon Stone fan but she played the role of the murdering seductress well without going overboard with it; I can only imagine the cringe worthy performances other women may have done. One would almost think she's somewhat like that character in real life since she played it so naturally, lol. Also, scenes like when Michael Douglas shoves Jeanne Tripplehorn against a wall and rips her clothes off was done well, without being overly passionate or violent and elicited the right amount of excitement from the audience. Again a well done movie. Shame about trashing the Mustang and the Lotus; I loved those cars then, and now...
  5. Good job on that warp-in clip, but you can't help but say that a bunch of relics like those ships would get obliterated by the new era romulan ships. And, if you're going to put in antique vessels, where's the galaxy class? Unless I just didn't see it...
  6. I was just going to post or message you about your DX. Looks like you have the same concerns as I do about the design. The cons you mentioned actually bother me-the Yamato '48 was a brick solid fighter and that's why I loved it so much. Another thing you mentioned is having to coat parts with whatever; it's annoying to me that a piece costing me this much requires any sort of modification at all. I got into RC cars, drones and whatnot after I got frustrated with self destructing yamato variable fighters, and you can spend hundreds, thousands of dollars like you will on these valkyries, but the difference is those RC vehicles are 100% good to go out of the box and will take a beating on top of it. And they can actually fly and move around and stuff!
  7. Dont have one, looks like I wont be getting one now. I have some Hasegawa fighter mode models of the SV-51 I might as well just build up because it seems this particular variable fighter is questionable as a toy. Oh well...
  8. Kevin Lam is his name. I remember when he started to step away from his internet business when his daughter was born. Hell I bet she's in college now lol. Great guy by the way; I remember when my Yamato '21 FP didnt come with instructions or a decal sheet and he sacrificed ones out of his own collection for me and sent them out the next day. Now that was service...
  9. Christmas in july! I hope you'll post up pictures and your impressions on it as well...
  10. Thanks for the links. Yeah I remember passing on all of the TV valkyries. Probably should've bought them anyway. Oh well...
  11. My original Takatoku VF 1S and Joke Machine are as solid as the day I bought them. May the toy gods bless those things and the people that made them. As for the newer toys, do I have any recourse for my '0S? Does someone make extra hands or do I have to wait for someone that's scrapping theirs or send my '0S to physical rehabilitation?
  12. Ok, so buy an Arcadia version? The Yamato being a froppy mess doesn't surprise me...
  13. *SIGH* one of the variable fighters I never got around to buying when I stopped collecting years ago was the SV51. I'm looking into them now, but what are the issues other than the legs do I need to look out for?
  14. I hate it when that happens. Anytime the big shippers hand it off to USPS, something usually goes wrong...
  15. Anticipation is worse than death itself...
  16. How much did these guys retail for? I bought all of mine from BBTS but it was so long ago...
  17. Nice. I remember when they were reissued back in the day. Why I passed on the M & M is beyond me...
  18. I did the same thing the other day with my yamato '0S and the hands literally crumbled into pieces. Have any of you guys ever experienced this? I transformed the thing like, twice the entire time I've owned it and otherwise it sat in a box. I mean WTF man...
  19. I seem to remember reading something about '55 customization back in the day; that was during the dark, pre-yamato days, if I'm correct...
  20. There are pages and pages of these sort of situations with NY; theres even a dedicated thread about this right? I have to ask why anyone here is giving them any business?
  21. If it has to be, zero dollars. I remember buying about four sets of fast packs for the original '48s and never using them. I'm all about that naked fighter mode...
  22. Wow. ^^^^That's pretty impressive stuff right there...
  23. That looks hot man...
