    Anybody know what the cover of the new issue of Famitsu looks like? I can try to pick it up at lunch today. Just wondering if the writer of that article is getting confused the PS3 game. Graham

    I will be so happy if we are getting a new PSP game. They better bloody well get the VF-19 model right this time though! And have me beloved VF-17's gunpod actually be a gunpod, not a beam weapon (the beam attack should just be the special attack). Hope we get the VF-19EF and ES from Macross The Ride as well. Graham

    Interesting, I wonder what is the reason for keeping the the best technologies on Earth. Is it fear of rebellion by the coloney fleets/planets? Or possibly not wanting the best technology to fall into enemy hands/give a new enemy a true idea of Earth's real defence capabilities, should an all new enemy be encountered by the fleets. Graham

    It's a novelization, that is being serialized in the monthly Dengeki Hobby magazine. Hopefully, it will be more of a photo-novel or novel with lots of pictures, rather than just pure text. The title is somewhat misleading. It is not an actual ride. Graham Interesting, I hadn't heard of that term before. Graham

    Here's two more pages from the latest issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine, which I missed before. These two pages, may give us some idea what the novelization is going to be like. Graham

    It's simple if it's anything about a Macross model kit (which this is), it belongs in the model forum. Graham

    Here's the pics originally posted by Kresphy in the Scoop thread. Thanks to Kresphy. My comments in the first post, refer to the differences, between the folding wing 19 variant shown in this sketch and the Hasegawa model conversion. And the link to the official site: http://hobby.dengeki...ss_r/index.html Graham

    More pages from this month's "Macross The Ride" article from the new issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine (Jan 2011 issue). That concludes all the "Macross The Ride" pages from this month's issue. Enjoy. Graham

    Will scan in the whole Dengeki article tomorrow. And in the magazine, it is written as "VF-19EF Caliburn". In the meantime, here's scans of two of the pages, including some new Kawamori lineart. Graham

    Ah, if the Google translation of the Dengeki 'Macross The Ride" website is correct, that might not actually be a CG pic, but rather a conversion of the Hasegawa 1/72 scale YF-19 model kit, which would explain the discrepancies with Kawamori's sketch. And calling the VF-19E 'Monkey Model', is hardly a complimentary name! How do we go from the original cool sounding 'Excalibur', to fricken 'Monkey model'!???????? Graham

    Noticing some differences between the rough Kawamori VF-19EF/ES(?) sketch, the VF-19EF CG pic and older VF-19 (A/F/F/S/P)variants. Initial comments/thoughts: - The rough Kawamori sketch of the VF-19EF/ES(?) seems to have the extended Leading Edge Root Extensions (LERX) of the VF-19Kai/F/S/P, whereas the CG pic of the VF-19EF seems to show a LERX shaped somewhere between the kinked LERX of the YF-19/VF-19A and the more streamlined extended LERX of the VF-19Kai/F/S/P. The VF-19EF/ES(?) sketch seems to lack the vernier ankle ring of the VF-19Kai/F/S/P, but does seem to be an all new type of lower leg, as it also seems not to be the same as the YF-19/VF-19A either. Canards in both the sketch and CG pic look smaller than the canards on the YF-19/VF-19A/Kai. Nice to see that the wing-root lasers are still present on the CG pic, although I note that on the Kawamori sketch, they seem to be covered with some sort of blanking panel(?). The sketch seems to have some sort of auxiliary intake(?) on the LERX, whereas the CG pic does not. The vertical tails seem quite small and seem to be positioned somewhere between those of the VF-19kai/F/S/P and the YF-19/VF-19A, i.e. from the CG pic they appear to be spaced outboard as per the VF-19kai/F/S/P, but not as far outboard as we are used to seeing for those models. The folding main wing is interesting. A new high-speed mode perhaps? The shoulder nacelles are also interesting an appear likely to contain some type of weapon. Anyway, nice to see a new 19 variant(s). I wonder who will get the toy rights? Even if this is a novelization, if it is anything like the monthly Gundam novelizations in Dengeki Hobby, it will have lots of pretty pictures. Graham

    Macross The Ride needs it's own discussion thread. Graham

    While episode 10 helped to movie the overall story forward a bit, it wasn't particulaly kid friendly for the young'uns. Too much talk of politics to keep my 6 year old's interest for long. It was good to see Commander Fox again, but one has to wonder what sort of army has a Commander doing checkpoint duty. Surely that would be a job for a normal trooper, not a Commander!? Graham

    Sadly, I have given up all hope of ever seeing a DX 1/60 scale VF-171/VF-171EX from Bandai. Hopefully Yamato is able to get the Frontier licence sometime in the next 3-5 years. Graham

    Getting close to the 300 hour mark! Graham

    I've always liked the 7-barreled 40mm folding gunpod that the VF-17D/S uses. Graham

    Haven't been following this thread closely and have not bought the comic. So, apart from a slight redesign of the head on the VF-1D and VF-1J, are there any other changes? Also, has the VF-1S and VF-1A head been shown yet? If yes, any changes? Graham

    I try to only handle my VF-25 toys on the areas that have no markings. Graham

    From Yamato, we will of course see the 1/60 VF-19 Fire Valk and likely also the Sound Booster, VF-19S and possibly the VF-19F and VF-19P as well (depending on how well the first two VF-19 sell). Then we have the next 1/60 VF-** coming after that. But yes, the 1/60 VF-1 line is pretty much finished. Of course, there will be the occasional reissue and perhaps even the a few new limited edition paint schemes now and then. Before all that there is of course the 1/3000 DYRL SDF-1 and possibly a TV version as well, even if it is only a recolored DYRL version with TV arms (although this is still not confirmed, just a possibility). Yamato are also considering other Macross items, but I can't say anything yet. However, expect something of a slowdown of new products, compared with the past several years. Unfortunately, it looks like the Phalanx is dead. A Minmay Guard paint scheme while nice, is unlikely, as Hasegawa/Model graphix own the rights to that. For Bandai, they so far seem to have shown a reluctance to do recolors, except for the main characters. Note, no cannon-fodder VF-25A yet, no movie version Macross Quarter either, so I doubt we will see a Klan VF-25. We also seem to be at the start of a slowdown from Bandai. While I have no contact with bandai and no inside information, I strongly suspect the Robot spirit VF-25S Armoured is cancelled, along with the propsed 1/100 VF-25 fighter model kit. I'm also beginning to doubt if we will see the Hi-Metal YF-21, YF-19 & VF-19F. Graham

    In the anime, it was only Alto's VF-171EX that had the armour pack (extra armor on the chest, lower legs and hips). None of the other VF-171EX had this. This is why the Bandai series 4 VF-171EX (standard) and VF-171EX (Sheryl art version), do not have the armor pack. All the VF-171EX have the missile pack on the left arm, except for Luca's RVF-171EX.

    Still in two minds about this show. I'm a huge fan of the comic, have been for years. To be honest, I'm not too keen about the way the show is deviating quite a bit from the comic. Graham Only 2 shows left!!!!!!??????? I thought it was like a 13 ep season or something? Graham
  23. Graham
    Stories (plural). There is 33 years (so far) of mostly excellent source material to draw upon. Graham

    I hated the Versace designed spandex uniform in the first movie. The new uniform does look closer to the original Ezquerra designed concept. At least it looks like black leather,which is what it is supposed to be. This new movie Lawgiver does look reasonably close to the current MK11. Can't wait to see the Lawmaster. Hope it's closer to the comic version than the overgrown Vespa scooter in the Stallone movie. Graham

    Sorry, I'm not offering a toy search service at the moment, Just no time to get involved in that. Try PMing HK members Valk009 or Neova, I think they have done that sort of thing in the past, but not sure if they are still active though. Anyway, I think I pretty much cleared out all the 171s from the shop where I bought them. Graham
