  1. I'd guess it will be out by the end of this year. I don't think it will take Bandai another 12 months to get it out of the door. Still undecided if I will buy this. If it is transformable and if all the red and black markings are actually correctly colored plastic parts and not stickers or decals, I will buy it, if not, then not. I still think there is a possibility (about 15% chance), that Bandai will go the Hasegawa route and make this a highly detailed non-transforming fighter mode only kit, which would be great for WM Cheng and all the other traditionalist model kit guys.

  2. Back when I was a kid in school in the 80s', we used to have F-111s and EF-111s fly over our school every day. Can't remember which US airbase in the UK they were flying from, but I used to think it was very cool. Graham
  3. IIRC, didn't Michael Ironside's character use twin Ingram SMGs? Graham
  4. Haven't seen TS yet, will see it this coming Friday. I presume it shows the start of the war between humans and Skynet, so the humans would likely still have more land/air/sea vehicles and men available in the early stages of the war, than in the later stages, as shown in T1 & T2. Graham
  5. Heh, are you complaining about the size of the box? If yes, you will be the only person ever in the history of Macrossworld to complain beacuse Yamato actually made a box smaller! Graham

    1/60 SV-51

    Nora and the cannon fodder have less floppy wings than the Ivanov. Graham
  7. Saw that on the news on TV 2-3 nights ago. Interesting, but far from conclusive.
  8. Just to take issue with the title of the thread, but most of those VF100s listed in the poll are not actually confirmed yet. The only confirmed releases are VF-25F, VF-25S, VF-25G, VF-19Kai & Armored VF-25F. Even Bandai has said that the multitude of VFs shown on early publicity posters is a wish list, not a certainty.
  9. Ozma's my favorite male character in Frontier. I'd love a movie about him. Graham
  10. I'm guessing it's only a few more days until the VF-25G is released. Graham
  11. Yes, given that the crotch is a seperate removable peice, used only for battroid mode, there is absolutely no reason why the leg position could not be changed. Graham
  12. I think the tradional model builders would disagree with you. Graham
  13. The new hobby mags come out in a day or two, so hopefully they will have some new pics. The Shizuoka Hobby Show seemed to be priomarily a show case for the Bandai's new Frontier model kits. I'm sure they will show off the Frontier toys at the Tokyo Toy Show in mid-July. Graham
  14. Heh, I thought that trailer looked pretty good actually. Graham
  15. Technically, it would be a v3.0 Yamato YF-19. Or you could say a v2.0 1/60 YF-19. Anyway, it could possible happen in some form, but if it does, don't expect it too soon. My biggest gripe with the present 1/60 YF-19 is the loose joints. The gullet doesn't bother me too much. Of course, if it does get redone, I would like to see some chest locking, opening leg weapon bays, more secure leg FAST Pack attachment and a smaller gullet. Graham
  16. Still no news of when of if this movie is going to be shown in this part of the world. We got all previous Trek movies here, so surprised there's been no news of this one. Graham
  17. Season 2 just started showing here last night. First episode was OK. Didn't really like the Scottish boss lady terminator (can't remember her name). Graham
  18. I freely admit it. When I first saw the Unicorn in closed mode, I was like wow, a decent looking Gundam and they've actually had the courage to break away from the V-fin and tradtional Gundam type face.................................but no, then I discover that the head opens and .........yawn......same ol' Gundam face and V-fin. Graham
  19. Thanks Renato. Your interpretation is exactly what I've always thought. The anmation does clearly show it as a standard gunpod most of the tim, acceopt when the adaptor is fitted. I'd forgotten about the games. I agree it is odd (and always greatly disappointed me when playing), that the VF-17's gun was a beam weapon. Graham
  20. Hmmm.............interesting question. The answer is not as much as I used to. These days, I probably rewatch Macross 7 in it's entirety once every 2 to 3 years. Same goes for Plus, Zero and II. SDF TV series, probably once every 4 to 5 years. DYRL, usually once a year. When Frontier was airing, I watched each episode at least 6 times, some as many as 12 times! Now, I occasionally watch an episode or two now and again, but no plans to watch the whole series all the way through for at least a couple of years, as I've watched each episode so often. Need to let it fade in my mind a bit first. Graham
  21. No............remaking it as an action movie.....Grrrrrr. Graham
  22. The Unicorn Gundam is actually one of the few Mobile Suits that I actually like the design of, but only in it's closed mode. I really don't like the open AKA 'diseased running sores' look. Graham
  23. I have the Joyride Studios Colonial Viper and Cylon Raider toys, which people have said are based on old model kits, but I'm not sure. OK, toys. size is similar to the old Starwars Action Fleet toys, but quality is not quite as good. The Vipers wings are constantly falling off and so are the tripple thrusters. Also, the two toys are not really in scale with each other. Graham
  24. I'm cautiously optimistic about a Robert Rodriguez Predator movie. Just have to wait and see. But a Cliffhanger remake!!!! WTF are they thinking? Graham
  25. Heh, I've gotta see that movie, the Youtube clip is hilarious. Graham
