  1. I've found the QC, design and articualtion on the Char's Counter Attack HCM Pros to be great so far. The RX-93 Nu-Gundam & Sazabi are fantastic toys IMO. I'm staying away from anymore 08th MST HCM Pro toys tho. I was so looking forward to the RX-79G and it turned out to be extremely disappointing. Graham
  2. The only advantage the Raptor has over the Typhoon is stealth. And of course, you can buy far more Typhoons for your buck than Raptors. Graham
  3. I was wondering about that as well. Graham
  4. Have informed Yamato about the incorrect colors on the hands and face. Graham
  5. Got it yeasterday. Paid HK$1,200 (US$154), which is a bit pricy for Hong Kong, but I couldn't be assed to shop around and there's only one place near my work that sells Macross stuff anyway. Sorry, the box is still sitting under my desk at work, I haven't even opened it yet. Graham
  6. Let's hope it's not 25 years before they release Macross F! Sorry, this whole 2009 thing is still really pissing me off. Graham
  7. Will be picking mine up in a few hours. Graham
  8. Some forward, some back. On the VF-1A and VF-0A, I usually point them all the way forward. On the VF-1S and VF-0S, they are pointing up, but angled about 20-30 degrees rearward. On the VF-1J they are pointing straight vertically upwards. Graham
  9. Basically, yes. Graham
  10. I'd love an M7 Max & Millia VF-22. I've been try to persuade Yamato to make these for years now. The current situation with both the M7 license and the VF-X2 license is somewhat unclear at the mopment. My advice hang onto those 1/72 VF-19A, don't sell them yet. Graham
  11. Ha, the local TV stations here in HK only showed up to season 2. Guess I have a lot to catch up on. Is that hot chick, Kristen Kruek (spelling?) still in it? Graham
  12. I heard it's been out for a week already, but haven't had time to go to the shops to confirm. Graham
  13. The list of improvements to the arms has been well documented already. To recap for those of you who were napping: - 1) The ABS in the bicep and shoulder area has been changed to a harder ABS. 2) The PVC parts that were causing chemical weakening of the ABS have been removed from the shoulders and biceps and replaced with SBS rubber (the same type of rubber used in sneaker soles). SBS does not react negatively with ABS. The Roy VF-0S with Ghost combo will be the first VF-0 toy where the whole run will have these improved arms. Graham
  14. Don't have time to go pick mine up until Tuesday Graham
  15. The VF-0S with Ghost Combo is now out in Hong Kong. Graham
  16. Evil Gundam kits, get thee out of the Macross toy forum. Note for the poster, this thread is in completely the wrong place as it is not about Macross toys, heck it's not even about a toy! Graham
  17. I've also been thinking this. Graham
  18. Oh man, the Q-Rau is awesome. I think I actually enjoy playing it more than the YF-19 and YF-21. Definitely recommend thios game to any Macross fan. Graham
  19. No offense to Azrael, but I'm moving this back to the Games section. ACE 3 has a significant enough Macross content that it deserves to be in the Macross Games section IMO. And while not every post about ACE 3 will mention Macross, many will. I don't want the topic getting lost in the huge sprawling mess that is the Other Anime section. Anyway, it's not like the Games section is flooded with new Macross games. Heck at the moment we're lucky enough to have a game with as much Macross content as ACE 3. Graham
  20. Anybody know what the mission objective is in 14A? Graham
  21. What effect does the Limiter have when you purchase it? Got both the YF-19FP and YF-21FP now. Currently on mission 14 or 15 on route A. My YF-19 is maxed out. Currently working on improving the YF-21. Great game. Graham
  22. The backpack on the Takara 1/18 RSC does attach super tight, you just need to push it down really hard to get it to lock onto the back hooks on the Scopedog. At first I thought the backpack only attached by gravity, but then I studied the official pics and noticed that it should sit slightly lower then the top of the scopedog's back. You need to push it so hard that you think the hooks might break, but they don't and the pack locks on ultra-super tight. Regarding the arm cannon, I glued the barrel and magazine on mine. As for the missiles coming out easily, the Yamato 1/12 has the same problem. Graham
  23. In the VF-1J pre-release publicity pics and also on the box photos, the shoulder ball joints are dark grey, which IMO was better as it made them less noticable. On the production VF-1J the shoulder ball joits are white, which I think makes them stand out far too much. Graham
  24. For the YF-19, anybody figured out if the chaff actually does anything? Also, does putting the arm shield up into guard position actually reduce or block damage at all? Graham
