Going down to 1/72 scale may result in increased fragility, if the same level of articulation/feature/detail/gimmicks etc were to be kept. Yamato chose 1/60 as the best compromise between size/durabilty/cost/features. Graham

Nope, no info in either of the December hobby mags. Of course if you want pics, you could just hack my hard drive. Graham

The SPEC Dragonar is just out. Going to pick mine up tonight. Graham

Good meeting. Found out lots of very interesting new stuff. Unfortunately as usually, I can't talk about 99% of it yet. However, I will say 2008 is going to be a fantastic, if extremely expensive year, from the sheer range of stuff planned. I'll try to address the individual questions posted in the first 9 pages of this thread later, as far as I'm able. Graham

I've heard that Macross Frontier should airing Q2 2008 and we should start seeing some info by this December. Graham

Anybody want to sell me a VF-1S open left hand? Graham

Haro was also in V-Gundam, not sure what other shows have featured it. Graham

On my Roy VF-1S, the Revoltech left elbow joint has a visible gap betwee the side of the elbow ball and the main part. Tried pushing it in, but it dosen't help. Graham

Minor spoiler Warning. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I love this spoiler from Gunota about episode # 4. Hah, There's these super advanced Gundams attacking so what do we do, roll out our most advanced weapons? Nope, let's enlist a to counter them. All I can say, is that the Gundams can't really be such a big threat. Graham

As the title says, I'm meeting with Yamato on Sunday 21st October. If you have any questions or comments you would like me to pass on, please list them in this thread. Graham

It's languishing unwritten at the moment. Been awfully busy and to be honest, I can't seem to get myself in the mood. Graham

Damn, my VF-1S Roy Revoltech came with 2 x right open hands (no left) and an extremely loose left elbow joint. Otherwise, all is good. Graham

Just picked up the Roy VF-1S Strike Valk, but won't be able to open it tonight until I get home. Graham

That Helldiver will be mine, oh yes it will! Graham

No VF-4 planned. No Ghost X9 planned. YF-21 should be Q1 2008. Graham

The RCM Nu was a great toy IMO, so I fully expect the Hi Nu to be just as good. Good.

Oh, god, this topics degenerated into talking about Gundam's balls. Considering locking until we get some proper news. Graham

Referring to the thread title. Should Yamato make them? Heck yes. Will Yamato make them? Sorry, no. Graham

I think I'm the only one with this opinion, but I've always thought the CG vehicles, especially the cars in the GITS TV series stuck out like a sore thumb. Really bad CG IMO. Graham

I think Valks actually look pretty good in CG. I'd be happy with a Macross Zero standard of animation for Macross Frontier mecha. It's funny how the opposite seems true for Gundam, that CG Mobile Suits just don't seem to look good. Graham

I would say "stay on topic guys", but's it's not like we have a lot to discuss is it? ...................Drums fingers impatiently on table while waiting for 2009...................... Graham

Haven't watched it yet, but the mecha designs are a huge turn off for me. Graham

As the poll mentions series, I'm presuming this should be restricted to TV series, not movie trilogies or OVAs right? And also to be fair, this poll should really be divided between the following categories IMO: - 1) Western live action TV Sci Fi series (e.g. Trek, BSG, Babylon 5 etc) 2) Japanese Anime TV Sci Fi series (e.g. Macross, Gundam etc) 3) Western cartoon TV Sci Fi Series (e.g. Err.....help me out here guys). 4) Japanese live action TV Sci Fi series (e.g. those crappy Sentai shows and err......?). Graham

Err..how about instead........NO LIVE ACTION ANIME............................EVER!!!!!! Graham

No plan to buy it. Haven't seen it. May rent it later to watch with my son. Like most Michael Bay movies, I'll probably fall asleep half way through it.....LOL! Any hot girls in it? Isn't there some chick with a wierd name? Shia La Beouf or something like that? To be honest I know very little about this movie. Graham
