Anyway, we are starting to stray off topic again. Let's stick to Frontier. Graham

The VF-9 Cutlass has only been shown in action in the M3 Dreamcast game as a player selectable mecha. I can't recall if it is shown at all in the opening movie of the game or not, which IIRC features mostly the VF-5000B, VF-4 & Variable Glaug. Just do a search on YouTube for Macross M3 and I'm sure you can find the movie. IIRC, the Shoji Kawamori Macross Design Works book features lineart of the VF-9's transformation. Graham

Ah, I may have seen the Baltar trial. Gotta go back and rewatch what I have. Graham

Good question. Its been a while since I last saw any. IIRC, I think the last one I saw was where Starbuck vanished into the cloud chasing what may or may not have been a Raider. Sorry, memory is fuzzy. Am I up to speed? Graham

Based on what we've seen so far, I'm feeling confidently optimistic that it is going to be a great series. Graham

Yay! My Razor DVD arrived from Amazon yesterday. No time to watch it until the weekend though. Graham

Not opening them until Christmas day though, so I have something nice to look forward to. Graham

I won't say it will never happen, but the chance of seeing Regults in 1/60 is probably pretty slim. There is probably a greater chance in the Gnu line. Graham

There's been no news, but anything is possible. Perhaps they will do some for the new series, although I suspect that Bandai has the master toy licence for Frontier locked down for a couple of years at lleast. Graham

Just to reconfirm, the YF-21 will come with 2 x gunpods, the display stand and FAST Packs. I'm pretty sure it also comes with the Fold booster attachments, but NOT the actual fold booster. And no I have not lost interest in Macross, just real life (work & family) has been getting in the way too much recently. I do plan to finish the SV-51 review, probably after Christmas. Although I'm at the stage where I can transform the SV-51 quite quickly, I'm not sure my skill level is up to a video yet. Graham

It sounds like Guld should be afraid, very afraid! Graham

Will be getting my second Nora tomorrow. Definitely the best, most trouble-free toy Yamato have made recently. Graham

Gotta compare the Roy Focker one with my 25th anniversery concert Roy Focker T-shirt. If they are the same (and at first glance they look the same), I will be kinda pissed, as that was suppposed to be a concert exclusive....Grrrrrrr! Now all the plebs will be wearing them. Graham

Waiting for my Razor DVD to get arrive from Amazon, hope it gets here before Christmas. Dying to see it. Graham

Just saw the Helldiver and Brocken in the shops here for HK$95 each (US$12.18), but decided to pass due to serious shortage of money and lack of space. I may break down later and pick up a Helldiver for shits and giggles. Even though I'm not a fan of PVC dog poo toys, I do love Helldivers. Graham

The anime version Dragonar-01 is out here in Hong Kong. Saw it selling for HK$499 (US$63.97). I'd buy it, but money is so tight at the moment, with it being Christmas. Graham

Nora, she's a big lass, but she's tight. Not sure you should be posting about taking a look under her flap. After all there might be children reading this thread. Graham

Should be getting mine later today. Heh, Heh, heh. Graham

I was referring to the use of the phrase "teh cool" in a recent post. Anyway, back on topic, I would say there is a very high probablity that the VF-25 has traditional VF-1 type swing wings in Fighter & Gerwalk modes, but not in Battroid mode. I'm dying to see a pic of the back of the battroid though, as the wings seem to fold differently to any other battroid, i.e. instead of folding flat against the back like on the VF-1, VF-0, VF-17 & VF-5000, they seem to sit at a 90 degree angle to the back. Graham

[Grammar Nazi] General note to all: Can we please not use teen net-slang phrases such as "teh cool", "Teh roxxor" etc, on the Macrossworld forums. [/Grammar Nazi] Certain standards are to be maintained here and repeat offenders will be tarred and feathered before being banished to the Row-Boat-Tech forums! Graham

While it's great that pics of the VF-25 has been published, I'm hoping we get some clear pics of the VF-171 in all three modes soon. Graham

I'm wondering are the bugs (alien life forms) we have seen so far, just the first wave and perhaps later we might see more advanced 'second wave 'humanoid enemies. Graham

Quite happy with the amount of publicity Frontier is getting so far with the preview movies, various websites, magazine articles and the upcoming Shonen Ace manga, which should all help boost popularity of the series. I think Big West has finally woken up to the fact that they do need to promote Macross more. Graham

Yes. Graham

The only other VF shown using a fold booster was the VF-17 and it could only just take the stresses involved. Older VFs were not stressed to be able to use the fold booster. Graham
