  1. Got so pissed off with the froppiness of my CM's Fuke, that I glued it permanetly in bike mode last night. Graham
  2. Yep, OK, thanks. Rewatching the show at the moment, but only on about episode 8 at the moment. Still, its strange that it is not shown in any of the art books. Graham
  3. I just view the full site on my Android, I don't even bother with the mobile version anymore. Graham
  4. I just realized something weird. Both the CM's and Toynami/Aoshima Tread/Beta toys have the opening left and right chest missile launchers. However,these chest missile launchers are not shown in the line art of any of the Mospeada books I have. Were they ever shown in the anime, I forget? Graham
  5. As I've got a Masterpiece Ray on the way, I'd be interested in a set of saddle bags and possibly the bazooka as well. Are these stll going tto be molded in color? Graham
  6. Yeah, I never kept the crotch armour on, in fighter mode on the VF-25 Super and Armoured. Just too difficult getting the plane locked together with it on, so I always removed it and stored it elsewhere. Graham
  7. If you have a VF-17 toy, you can see how they have done it. Hole in the leg to plug the packs into in battroid mode. and a hole in the underside of the wing to plug the packs into in fighter mode. The simplest possible way it could have been done. The hole in the leg has a hinged (or is it sliding, I forget) cover for when the packs are not attached. The cover is accessed through the rear landing gear bay. Graham
  8. Well, I really regret buying the CM's Fuke, it is a Fuke-ing awful toy. I've been reasonably impressed by the CM's Stick and Yellow toys, but the Fuke is just terrible. The joints on the figure are super loose, the arm panels just don't wanna stay connected to the forks in bike mode and one of the forks broke off the frame of the bike while I was trying to get the arm panel to stay on at the correct angle for bike mode. Oh, and the frame seems to be cracked on both sides, where the forks attach. I think I'm just gonna end up super gluing the damn thing permanently in bike mode. Graham
  9. Thanks, just ordered from them, although the shipping was a bit high, but still works out far cheaper than getting one off ebay.Graham
  10. Just read issue 93. Pretty cool. As for the second half of season 2, will wait until it's finished and watch in one go. No interest in watching week by week. Graham
  11. Just picked up a CM's Fuke which I'll keep in bike mode and a second CM's black Stick, which is going to stay in armor mode. That's it for my CM's collecting, although I might pick up the pack of two soldier figures and possibly the unmanned black Legioss as they are pretty cheap here. Got my Masterpiece Ray on the way from the US. And then just need to track down an anime color Megahouse Ray or Stick either new or used for a reasonable price and then that will be it for my Mospeada collection. Graham
  12. There's two ways it could have been done. 1) Hinges permanently attached to the leg packs, which plugged into holes in the leg. 2) Hinges permanently mounted on the leg, which plugged into holes in the packs. Personally, I'm fine with the solution they adopted as it minimizes potential weak points (hinges). And it's not a big deal to unglug the pack from the leg and move it the short distance and plug it into the wing. Graham
  13. Awesome. I watched that pretending it was a VF-19S. Graham
  14. The present solution is far more elegant, simpler and undoubtedly more durable and better looking than having hinges permanently built into the legs of the VF-17. Having a hinge on which you need to attach and detach the packs (when not using them), would be uglier and a potential breakage point. Graham
  15. Yep, same here. That would be a definite buy. Graham
  16. Don't forget the VF-22S was featured in the three PSP games as well (MAF, MUF & MTF). Graham
  17. Because in fighter mode, the leg packs attach to the underside of the wings. Have you not looked at the lineart? Graham
  18. My small, but growing collection of Mospeada toys and Mospeada and Artmic books. Graham
  19. I disagree, Clash of the Bionoids is my favorite dub ever. In fact it's the only dub I will listen to. Graham
  20. Err..........grey? Do I win a prize? But seriously, sold of my 1/48 Angel Birds, so no idea. Graham
  21. Nah, gimme a DX VF-171/VF-171EX before a renewal VF-27. Heck, I'd even prefer a cannon fodder DX VF-25A over a renewal VF-27. A renewal VF-27 is way, way down on my personal list of desired VF toys. Graham
  22. I don't even bother stowing the gunpod internally anymore and I'm actually thinking of gluing the two halves together. Just a note for anybody posting comparison pics or comments for things for Yamato to improve upon. Don't bother posting screenshots/stills from the anime! Yamato will only consider Kawamori's lineart as reference material, not the actual animation due to inconsitancies in the animation. Graham
  23. Just posted a whole bunch of pics from BlackAces (Noel) on the main page. http://www.macrossworld.com/ Graham
  24. Haha, that's funny.But seriously, the 'cup' of the cupcake is about the right size and shape for the visor. Graham
