  1. I think the Urban GBP definitely looks best on a VF-1S. That's how I'm gonna display mine. Graham
  2. Hah, still haven't taken mine out of the box yet! Serious lack of interest in the VF-1 these days. Graham
  3. The Griffon is definitely coming, it's not just a rumor. CMs already have an ad for it in the new hobby mags. No photos yet, just some lineart IIRC. Graham
  4. Just finished watching the OVA 'Roots of Ambition' and it was awesome. Fantastic animation, with some great AT action. Currently half way through 'The Defrost' OVA. Votoms is now my second favorite mecha anime franchise behind Macross. I can't belive I delayed watching it for so many years. I don't see what the fuss is about the TV series ending, semed fine to me. For those who have seen it, is Merowlink wih watching? Graham
  5. 4th week!!! You are joking! Graham
  6. Heh, my son dropped my blue Alpha MPC from a height of about 2 feet onto a wood floor. The right toe broke off. Tried to glue it back on, but the type of plastic used doesn't seem to stick with super glue. Graham
  7. No, it's a complete TV series from the mid 80s. It's a Gundam clone, but I actually prefer it to 99% of most Gundam. Graham
  8. That pic is from the recent Tokyo Animation Fair. Mwer SaveRobotech and maybe some other members already posted a bunch of pics a few weeks ago of the girl and the scratch built model of the cockpit mecha, but still nice to see another pic. Graham
  9. Getting back on topic, I'm liking the fighter mode of the CM's Legioss less and less each time I look at it. The nose is far too long and skinny (Mosquito nose syndrome ), the angle at the rear of the cockpit is far too abrupt and I have a nasty feeling that the photo showing the Legioss and Tread connected is how the toy will actually look. I love the battroid mode though and will buy at least one set. Graham
  10. The pics are from the latest issue of Hobby Japan magazine. Nobody is sure yet if they are from a new anime or not. Hopefully, sombody can translate the text soon. Graham
  11. All good news about the JSF. Never liked the thing anyway. Hopefully the Royal Navy will end up with navalised Typhoons. Be funny if the USN also ended up with them as well.......LOL! Graham
  12. As shown in the new Hobby mags, looks like the next SPEC is going to be Metal Armor Dragonar together with XC-00 Cabarrier-0. Definitely getting that one, as I love Dragonar and have wanted a decent toy of it since the 80s'. Graham
  13. Actually, I'd say 'most durable' award goes to the 1/65 VF-17D/S toys. Despite having no metal parts besides screws and a few springs it is nigh indestructible Graham
  14. While I can accept the Legioss 2007 fighter mode, I'm not digging the battroid mode at all. I've never liked mecha with skinny tapering legs. The Dread2 looks awesome though. It's shaping up to be a very good year for 'real robot' mecha anime with a new Macross series, a new Votoms series, Kissdum (too early to judge if it's good or bad) and hopefully a new Mospeada anime. Heh, I wonder if they are allowed to discuss this over on RT.com? Graham
  15. I'm not too happy with the look of the CM's Legioss in fighter mode, but all other modes and the Tread look good. It's great it's gonna come with the little Cyclone. Graham
  16. For a 5 year old, I'd go for the Bandai reissues. I gave my son my VF-1J Hikaru reissue when he was 2 years and 9 months old and 2 months later it's still in one piece. Graham
  17. The photo on page one of this thread makes the VF-1J look like he's disco dancing. Graham
  18. Watched it, enjoyed it, not going to nitpick too much except to say I'm unclear why a German robot would be attacking Pearl Harbour. Graham
  19. I'll put in a second recommendation for the Armored Core and Ace Combat series. Graham
  20. I don't want to ask Yamato Japan, cus they'd probably just send me a whole new Garland rather than send me the replacement parts (like what they did when the 1st one broke) and I don't want 3 of the suckers. I'm not a huge Garland fan. I just want my 2 broken ones fixed. Besides, I want to test out how well Yamato's replacement parts supply works. Graham
  21. Harry looks like he's off to a Paintball game. Graham
  22. It's a week since I emailed Garner about replacement parts for my two broken toys, but no reply yet. Graham
  23. A small pic of the upcoming 1/18 Microman Vanilla & Red Shoulder Custom Weapon set. I'll try to do a better scan when I get home. Graham
  24. First non-Gundam HCM-Pro toy from Bandai. The purple Eva. Not much interest to me as I've never really been into Eva, but at least it's good to see the line branching out from Gundam. Graham
  25. Hmmmm........possible new Mospeada anime? (not Shadow Chronicles) Legioss & Tread 2007 designs to go with the updated Invid pics posted earlier. Graham
