  1. Hope we get V2 Tornado/Armoured/Super Packs as a 3 in 1 retail set, not a web exclusive. Actually I could live without the Super Pack, never really liked the design, but love the Tornado and Armoured Pack. Graham
  2. Just managed to buy it in Sino Center Animate for HK$1,680. They had at least one more remaining. No poster, but I don't care about that anyway. But flying in a few hours for a 3 week vacation, so no time to play with it until I return. Graham .
  3. Looks great in that review, except for the angled front landing gear I hope that's just the reviewer's mistake. Graham
  4. crap, crap and double crap ;( YF-29 just arrived at Oriental 188 Centre, but each toy shop only getting 2pcs and all already reserved for preorder customers. No time to go to Mong Kok to hunt tonight. Graham
  5. Not in 188 Center, Wanchai this lunchtime Graham
  6. They are aiming for end of the year, but it will still likely end up being in Q1 2012. No reaction missile bays confirmed. I was told that if they had sacrificed the rear landing gear, they may have been able to fit the bays, but there is just not enough room in 1/60 scale to fit everything. Graham
  7. S, thought I'd mentioned earlier in the thread. Graham
  8. I've also had the 18rd drum hang a couple of times in the same way. No biggie, it works will enough most of the time and to be honest, I'm surprised that for a toy drum magazine firing soft foam darts, it works as well as it does! Anyway, it's good for practicing stoppage drills. Graham
  9. No intention to sticker mine either. Like the out of the box anime look too much. Graham
  10. That's a shame. Was going to look for one, to put under my Recon, but will pass now. Graham Will probably pass on these. Already in trouble with my wife for getting 6 NERF guns this month and don't want to be bothered with another ammo type. Also not too keen on the look or color scheme. Graham
  11. Anybody want to hack or steal my phone, then u can see full CADs as well as rapid prototype pics......LOL. Graham
  12. Can the Break Barrel IX-2 attach to the Recon's bottom rail without modification, or does it need some modification done first? Graham
  13. The Recon really should have had an ambidextrous side-mounted cocking handle as standard, it would have made it a much better NERF blaster. Graham
  14. Just to clarify, the VF-17's forearm beam guns have barrels in both the wrist and elbow, just the elbow ones extend out, where the wrist ones don't. The wrist/elbow beam gun feature was something General Galaxy decided to reuse for they follow up VF, the YF-21/VF-22. Graham
  15. Ordered a yellow Raider stock, one more 18rd drum, a 35rd drum and a Stampede 18rd mag from ebay for my Alpha Trooper. Graham Thanks for the holster tip, will check it out. Also been thinking about getting a dump pouch. Just bought the NERF bandoleer. Thinking about getting a Raider as well, but like the Alpha Trooper for it's compact-ish size. Can't find the NERF double barreled shotgun in HK. Graham
  16. Surprised nobody is making some dedicated Kydex belt holsters for the Maverick. Graham
  17. Gave my Barricade another try last night in the house and it worked fine. It's weird, when I first got it, my son and I tested it indoors and it worked fine, but when we took it outdoors to have a NERF fight around our village, it started jamming after only a couple of shots. Yet last night it worked fine again. I've noticed you definitely can't fire too rapidly and need to have a second or half second pause between shots and also it needs a good firm trigger pull, something my just 7 year old son can't always manage yet. Need to do some more testing before I feel confident with it though. Still think the manually operated guns like the Maverick and Alpha Trooper are better than the noisy battery powered Barricade though. Planning to get a CS-35 Raider soon, for the 35rd drum. Just ordered an 18rd Stampede magazine off ebay as well Would like to get a few more of the 18rd Alpha Trooper drums. Anybody know a source of holsters for Mavericks? Graham
  18. Bought that pack of 2 x 6rd magazines that comes with the grey adapter that lets you clip 2 mags together end to end, but it seems really unsecure in that the slightest bump will knock a magazine out of the grey adapter clip. Do you guys usually glue the mags into the adapter clip? Graham
  19. Just recently started getting into NERF with my nearly 7 year old son. Bought the following guns in the past 3 weeks: 1 x Alpha Trooper CS-18 = Fantastic gun, highly recommended. Love the balance of size, weight and capacity and the slam fire feature. 1 x Barricade RV-10 = Very noisy and jams frequently. Really regret buing this. It worked ok for about 30 shots but now jams all the time. 2 x Maverick REV-6 = Great sidearms. Got one yellow and one transluscent green. My favorite so far. 1 x Recon CS-6 = So-so IMO. good as a pistol, but the stock feels flimsy and doesn't hold a spare mag securely, the rail being on the cocking handle is a really stupid location as it interferes with the rear sight. If I'd had a chance to try this first I probably would not have bought it. The Alpha Trooper is far superior IMO. So far my feeling is to stay away from the battery powered guns. Graham
  20. The Fire Valk has been on sale in HK since 19th May. Most shops are selling it for around HK$1,600+. And yes, shops in HK are open on a Sunday. Graham
  21. No, yellow = yellow, not gold. Graham
  22. Cool, first time to show the turret in use in fighter mode. Really shows how the features of the Tornado Pack were integrated into the YF-29. Graham
  23. Yes, the chest guns were used numerous times in battroid mode in the series, but if u blink u miss it. The yellow markings on Millia's and Brando's VF-17S are different. Graham
  24. Stay on topic guys, next non YF-29 post gets a spanking. Graham
