  1. Guess who just got a sound booster sample today? Just about to open it now Graham
  2. Just sent out hinges to a couple of members who had previously paid for the postage but have been waiting for a year.......sorry guys. Here's how many hinges are remaining: - Bright White Hinges = 19pcs (9.5 pairs). Off-White Hinges = 31pcs (15.5 pairs). Cream Hinges = 69pcs (34.5 pairs). After these are gone, I cannot get any more, so don't ask. Graham
  3. Been checking through my records from 2010 when I sent out the hinges and here is the list of members that my records show I sent hinges to already: BlueMax GGemini firmpulse cal Dancougar hutch Vegas regult David Hingtgen sidearmsalpha m0n5t3r rsvictor1976 Javabean bryanlky bouncing boy77 Valkyrie Hunter D annubis20 Silvestri General Chaos niVL@Boy SpaceCowboy Crazy Canuck II Valk-1S bitterp Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 ChristopherB Valkyrie23 Sturmvogel Macross73 mass driver DyNo jenius max928 Jepoyako UN Spacy jonwayne optimuspint takatoys charger69 MACROSSF nightmareB4macross bigkid24 BoBe-Patt diablo Razerwire Chronocidal meh_cd len_d69 mickyg VF-19 Ignacio Ocamica jodokast Atheonyirh fifbeat hirohawa crasis sreyes mattomaton Rafael Togami AKA Blaster fenrir72 southpaw Vi-RS brenttoyou Danguard Ace DatterBoy Cyclone Trooper ff95gj anotheran CF18 JasonC jonwayne fifbeat mattomaton Rafael Togami AKA Blaster Vi-RS brenttoyou anotheran JasonC Loop Be warned, the number of remaining hinges is extremely limited, especially the off-white ones for the DYRL VF-1A/S. I will count them tonight and post the total of how many are remaining. Graham
  4. Heard from Yamato that for the VF-19S, the tab inside the gerwalk mode hip joint that a few people managed to break will be strengthened. Also, steps will be taken to make the ankle ball joint more resistant to loosening. Although I have to say that I haven't encountered this problem on both my Fire Valks. In fact they have both been completely problem-free. Graham
  5. I'll admit I haven't been following this thread and I apologize that I haven't looked at the PMs people sent me about shoulders either. If somebody can just let me know whom I should post the remaining hinges to, I can get them packed up and posted out within a day or two. Want to stop people spamming my PM inbox with mails about hinges Graham
  6. Maybe not 'come with', but there's a very good chance we will see it Graham The reason that Yamato are not doing FAST packs for the VF-19S/F, is not because of the leg missile bays. The reason I have been told is twofold: 1) Getting the shoulder mechanism to work for the FAST Packs is seen as being quite difficult. 2) Due to the way the wing looks tighly to the leg, you would only be able to get half a FAST pack on the leg anyway. Graham
  7. LOL! Graham
  8. Looks cool, but I never really liked Mustangs. Would much rather see a new Battle of Britain movie be made. Graham
  9. Currentlly reading book 5 as an ebook on my phone. My first ever ebook paid purchase! Enjoying it so far. Graham
  10. That's an old CAD, already discussed with Yamato about 1.t5 to 2 months ago and the second port has already been removed. Don't worry. Graham
  11. I've been looking for it for weeks now, believe me, but I can't find it anywhere, not even on ebay. Graham
  12. Here's some photos of my NERF gun collection, minus my Barricade, which I completely forgot about (guess that shows how I feel about the Barricade) The 35rd drum, yellow Raider stock (on my Alpha Trooper)and 18rd straight mag and 2nd 18rd drum were purchased from ebay. My favorite is the Alpha Trooper. Graham
  13. To be honest, I didn't really notice much 3D effect with Transformers 3 either. Sure there was some extra visual depth, but I didn't notice any stuff flying out of the screen. Not that I care, as I hate 3D in cinemas and wish it would hurry up and die. Graham
  14. Only if the present or next administration changes it's stance on NASA and space exploration. The way things are going it's all in the hands of the private sector now. Personally, I've given up of seeing a man on the moon again in my lifetime, let alone on Mars. Graham
  15. Zero interest in seeing an origins story again, but I'll probably end up seeing it as my 7 year old has just gotten into Spiderman, so he'll probably want to see it when it's released. Graham
  16. Still holding out hopes for a full PSV game later. Don't really want to buy a PS3 unless I really have to Graham
  17. Some paint chipping on the red paint on both shoulder blocks after 3 transformations, can see the bare diecast now Wish the wings locked into the legs a bit more securely in fighter mode. Otherwise, apart from the damn shoulder armor, which falls off multiple times every time I transform to fighter mode, I'm reasonably happy with the toy. Graham
  18. Only took mine out of the box for the first time last night, as I've been in Greece and UK on vacation since the day after the toy was released and just came back. So far after one evening of handling it, the joints are still tight Probably will leave it in fighter mode and won't buy multiples. Graham
  19. Not saying it's a bad toy, it's actually quite good and a big improvement on the V1 VF-25. I do find it a but fiddly and frustrating to transform back to fighter mode though. However, the fit, finish and ease of transformation of the VF-19 impressed me far more than the YF-29. Graham
  20. Finally got to handle mine last night after coming back from holiday. After all the hype and photos, I was expecting some sort of uber-toy, but actually ended up being a bit disappointed by it. Pros: 1) Transformation from fighter to Gerwalk and battroid modes easy. Transformation back to fighter mode frustrating though. 2) Looks good in fighter and gerwalk modes, but a bit busy-looking in battroid mode for my taste. 3) Locks together reasonably well in fighter mode, but not as securely as Yamato's VF-19. 4) Good 'A-stance' in gerwalk mode. 5) Good level of surface detail. Cons: 1) No lock on the front and rear landing gears. 2) No molded-in detail in the landing gear bays. 3) Maybe just the color, but the plastic seems more toy-like and cheaper, compared to Yamato's VF-19. 4) Transformation back to fighter mode was extremely frustrating. The fecking shoulder armor kept popping off when I tried to get the arms back into place and was extremely difficult to get back in place. Maybe it's because I'm tired and jet-lagged, but there were a couple of times last night, where I nearly ended up throwing the toy at the wall in frustration. When a toy is that frustrating it ceases to be fun. 5) Leg missile bay covers kept coming off when I opened them. Maybe I'll like it more when I play with it when not so tired. Graham
  21. That's what she said last night Graham
  22. Trust, me as I have a whole buncha pics of the prototype, it is the S first. Graham
  23. Do the YF-29's wings lock in position at the hinges in battroid mode, or do the flop around like the V1 VF-25? Graham
  24. I think I may have to send the remaining shoulders to someone else to distribute. Work and personal life had been crazy busy the last year. Anybody want to take on the responsibility, let me know. Graham, currently on vacation in Corfu.
