    I just hope we don't have to jump through so many hoops when/if the cannon fodder VF-171 is released Graham

    Absolutely beautiful! Wish we had toys that looked like that. The greenie has always been the best looking of the bunch IMO. Unlike, Macross, I can never remember the official model numbers of the mecha in Mospeada, so I just call the Legioss's red, blue and greenie Graham

    No, but when the pilot turns evil, he uses the Gundam's finger to twirl the mustache............really! (No, just kidding). Graham

    I've ordered from Anime-Export before, they are safe and reliable. The site probably timed out cus of all the people (like myself), hitting F5 all morning..........LOL! Graham

    Yep, I just snagged one on Anime-Export. Graham

    Sigh.....not Bandai la! Now you are deliberately gonna confuse people who don't know better and probably the next few pages are gonna be filled with silly questions n comments while the confusion you have sown is cleared up Graham

    Great new pics of the VF-171EX Alto version. Although it's difficult to tell for certain, it looks like only one hard point on the wing, whereas it should have three. But being as the view of the wing is partially blocked by the battroid's body, I may be wrong. Anyway, I'll be glad for even one hardpoint, although at least two would be better. Let's hope Bandai gets the connection nice and tight first try, as it took Yamato several years to get nice tight hardpoints on their toys. Remember the SV-51, where the missiles ffall of if you glance at them wrong. And on the new pics, you can see the rear landing gear door position is confirmed. If they do produce the Armoured Pack, there is a twin-thruster sitting right on top of where the rear landing gear bay is. Wonder how they are gonna handle that? Perhaps with Armoured Packs fitted, the VF-171EX is only supposed to launch in gerwalk or battroid mode, or from a launch arm, so no need for the landing gear? Graham

    Actually, to be fair to Bandai, they did release a heck of a lot of the renewal version VF-25F Alto and for months after release, many shops here in Hong Kong had multiples still sitting on shelves. It's only recently that stock has started to dry up a bit, but they can still be found. The VF-25S renewal version was obviously released in smaller quantities, but can still be found, although at a much inflated price. The YF-29 is another story altogether though and Bandai's first release was pitifully small. I have a feeling the VF-171EX is going to be a big seller for Bandai and popular with fans, so let's hope they release sufficient quantities this time round. Graham

    It's actually pretty hideous IMO. I far prefer the designs from the orginal movie. And I bet it can't turn for crap. Graham

    I've always thought carrying a few large screwdrivers would be a good close in latest ditch anti-zombie weapon. Graham

    Wings are the same shape between the S And D.

    Never seen any Yamato, so put me in the 'don't care' category. Graham

    Firstly it's gotta be someting reliable. If it don't go bang everytime I pull the trigger, it's of no use. Secondly, its gotta have sufficient power to do enough damage to the zombie's brain to put them down with one shot. I have my doubts that a .22LR would always do enough damage to put down a zombie reliably even with a headshot. Thirdly, it should be high capacity. If I'm swarmed by zombies I wanna have enough ammo in the gun, so that I don't have to worry about reloading often. Fouthly, it should preferably be something which can be silenced. For a handgun, I'd go with a high capacity 9mm, probably a Glock 17 or Glock 19 as I shot Glocks for years in IPSC and they are reliable, accurate and extremely durable. It would be fitted with night sights (meprolights or trijicons) and mount a light/laser combo, probably an Insight M6. 9mm ammo is pretty common as well. For a long gun, probably some sort of shorty M4 with an Aimpoint or Eotech. I love the HK 417, but really any of the xzillions of brands of M4 clones would serve. While I love shotguns and large calibre revolvers, they are just too low capacity and too slow to reload. Graham

    Yes, the metal rear landing gear is supposed to be glued to the inside of the plastic rear landing gear bay door, but seems like CM's uses insufficient glue. I already had one come off, so I just super glued it back on. Graham

    I wonder if the gunpod be able to attach externally on the underside of the fighter, as this is how it is mounted on the VF-171, unlike the internal storage of the VF-17. I have confidence in Bandai that the finished version will have lots of Tampo printing. The total number of variants that Bandai could make are: VF-171EX Alto version. VF-171EX standard version (no red stripes). RVF-171EX VF-171 cannon fodder. RVF-171 (Note, all the above versions were released by Bandai in the 1/250 scale Macross Fighter Collection). For possible accessory packs there are: The EX version weapon packs (Arm missile Pod and large arm-mounted beam gun). Alto's additional Ex version armour parts (chest and leg armour) (this should be packaged and sold with the EX version weapon packs). Twin Fold boosters shown being used by the RVF-171. I do think wing-mounted missiles should be standard for the VF-171/VF-171EX as during the anime, they were pretty musch shown carrying missiles all the time. Graham

    Damn, away from the forums for a couple of days and this happens. Definitely getting 3 of these (more of the CF version if they release it).

    Just finished watching Gundam Unicorn OVA # 1-4. Now rewatching Macross 7, for is it the 7th or 8th time (It's my all time favourite anime TV series). On episode # 5 at the moment. Also rewatching Mospeada, currently on episode # 14. Will have to get to Black Lagoon and finish watching it soon also. Still got 4 or 5 eps to go and then onto the OVA. Graham

    Yep, it's a fantastic toy. Graham
  22. Graham
    Sylar, slice his skull open..............LOL!
  23. Graham
    Yeah agreed. From what I recall (and please correct me if I'm wrong), Bandai usually don't have too much of a presence at Wonder Fest. Graham

    I gotta say, whoever was in charge of marketing this film did a lousy job, or perhaps they just had no marketing budget. Graham

    While I don't want to see a remake, I'd also be up for a side story OVA set during Space War One. Graham
