Are the SV-51 machine guns still uber-powerful in MUF? Graham

LOL......BoB is is that you?

Good. It was was too overpowered IMO. Although I must admit it's saved my bacon more times that I'd care to admit. Mmmm...........bacon! Graham

Hopefully, we'll get the cannon fodder green VF-27 DX toy AKA 'Grace version'. However, I'm not holding my breath, as we are still waiting for the cannon fodder tan VF-25A DX. Graham

McG IMO is only a slight step up from Uwe Boll IMO. Graham

Don't think the problem is so much the wildly escalating budgets. The problem IMO is more that T3 and Salvation had mediocre scripts, piss poor directors and could have had better actors cast in some cases. With better writting and a better director, I doubt the franchise would be in the poor shape is is today. As for Sarah Connor Chronicles, I echo the sentiment that the show should have been more about John and Cameron and less about Sarah. Graham

Actually, I quite liked Predator 2. Not as good as the original of course, but still a respectible film in it's own right. So for me, there's: - Only 2 Alien movies. Only 1 Highlander movie. Only 2 Predator movies. Only 2 Mad Max movies. Only 1 Robocop movie. Only 1 Matrix movie. Oh, and while not genre movies, there's: - Only 1 Lethal Weapon movie. Only 1 Die Hard movie. Any sequals to the above are just figments of someone's feveed imagination and don't actually exist. Graham

I think the distance between the toys in the photo, is enough to account for the apparent size discrepancy. Also, the VF-27 is leaning backwards, makin it look shorter/smaller that it is, plus the legs may not be locked in the correct position. Just from the overall construction and design, it looks very much like the it comes from the DX design team. Graham

Just like in the anime. Graham

Yep, this is the one. Not sure why you thought it was the VF-19Kai. That would involve a completely new sculpt over the YF-19. The two share nothing in common, except possibly hands and biceps. Graham

Definitely looks like a DX to me. Graham

Ever since first watching Macross 7 back in 1994, I've wanted a VF-11C toy. I was so upset with Bandai when they didn't follow through and produced the planed VF-11C Micro-Macross toys, that were advertised on the pack of the Micro-Macross packaging. Graham

Episode 7 of Macross 7 'Summer Accident' is another great VF-11C episode. Gamlin commandeers a VF-11C twowards the end of this episode and proceeds to kick Varauta ass. Graham

Mine is already pink, thank you very much! Graham

Possibly, I've raised the issue with Yamato, as well as a radome for the VF-11C, a VF-11D. All under consideration. Buy more and they will make more. Graham

Here's a list of the physical differences between the VF-11B and VF-11C. 1) Different, more streamlined design of gunpod, with no bayonet. 2) Different shape thrusters on the back FAST Packs . More squarish shape thusters on the VF-11C, rather than the bell-shape thrusters on the VF-11B. 3) Different style and colour flight suit and helmet for the pilot. 4) Only two micro-missile ports per back FAST Pack on the VF-11C, compared to four micro-missile ports per FAST pack on the VF-11B. I really love the color scheme of the Macross 7 VF-11C Super, as to me it really evokes the look of a more modern DYRL Valk. Graham

I get one sample (singular). Multiples I need to buy myself. Graham

We'll see. That was actually one of the things I raised in my dinner with Yamato last night. Personally, I find the VF-X2 VF-11 scheme boring, but I understand that some folks want it. Graham

From the Scoopda thread, Yamato announces their 1/60 scale VF-11C from Macross 7. http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1502 I've always prefered the Macross 7 VF-11C color scheme over the Macross Plus VF-11B. This bird looks absolutely stunning IMO. I will definitely be getting at least 3 and finances be damned! Graham

Anybody know if some of the mistakes with the VF models in MAF have been corrected in MUF? Specifically, mistakes I spotted in MAF were: - 1) VF-25 fighter mode, hands incorrectly visible from the rear. They should not be visible, as they are tucked into the shield. 2) VF-171EX had the canopy from the VF-171, which is incorrect. Canopy should be different. 3) VF-11C with Super Packs, tail fins in up poistion, instead of down. Graham

OK, started the Freeplay VS missions this morning, but I'm not getting any rank showing up after finishing a mission. Any idea why this is? I'm guessing it's something to do with the settings. I'm not dying at all, and I'm wiping the floor with the 3 computer enemies even when they are set on the hardest seeting. However, I am using my tuned mechs? Is that why? Do I need to use untuned, stock mecha to get ranking? Graham

Ha, no, I haven't even touched Freeplay yet. Do you earn tune points in Freeplay? Graham

Yeehaa! Just got SS on the first attempt following Keith's advice. I'm now 100% on all eras, all missions and EX missions with S or SS. Unlocked Geperi-what's-her-face. Graham

Only one last mission left to complete, the Macross Plus Ex mission 'Song of the Devil'. Having trouble defeating the SDF-1. Even Guld's vaunted special ramming attack seems useless. Any advice appreciated. Graham

Had a marathon epic day yesterday. Unlocked the stat limiter, the VF-27 & Battle Frontier and got 'S' or 'SS' on all remaing missions except one. Graham
