  1. Looking, playing with, zooming around etc, etc. It's purty! Graham
  2. Don't worry, I have lots of pics of the Yamato stuff at their booth including: - 1) SV-51 w/weapons. 2) VF-0A Shin w/Ghost Booster. 3) Ghost. 4) Motoslave. 5) YF-19 w/Fold Booster (the LEDs are really cool). 6) 1/24 RC Turbo Custom Scopedog. 7) 1/12 Red Shoulder Custom w/full weapons. Of course I'm allowed to take as many pics as I want. It's gonna take me a few days to get them all together on a page. Graham
  3. Guys, the new issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine has lineart of the Kissdum mecha. Links to the scans are below (warning, they are big). Kissdum Mecha Page 1 Kissdum Mecha Page 2 The plane is not transformable. However, the cockpit module is ejectable and transforms into a mecha that IMO looks a bit like a Glaug. The cockpit module can also attache to diferent host craft, shown on page two, one of which looks like a submarine and the other perhaps a VTOL or a hovercraft. Graham

    1/100 WF YF-21

    Unfortunately, MWer SaveRobotech and myself had no chance to get one of these. The queue when we got to Tokyo Big Sight was about 2 miles long and by the time we got in to WonderFest, frozen to the bone as it's fuc#ing freezing in Tokyo at the moment, they had already all sold out. I did get lots of pics of the display samples though, which I'll post as soon as I'm back in HK. Not very impresed with the sculpt myself, especially the side on fighter view. Graham

  7. Please discuss the CM's Legioss & Tread in the correct thread in the other anime forum. In Macross news, Yamato confirmed that the Ivanov SV-51 will come with the overwing boosters used in episode 5. Pics of the boosters and lots of pics of the SV-51 will be posted ï½ï½“ sï½ï½ï½Žã€€as I get bï½ï½ƒï½‹ã€€ï½”ï½ã€€ï¼¨ï½ï½Žï½‡ã€€ï¼«ï½ï½Žï½‡ï¼Ž ï¼§ï½’ï½ï½ˆï½ï½ã€€
  8. I have lots of pics which I'll post as soon as I get back to HK. The sculpt and detail of the CM's Legioss & Tread blow the Toynami versions out of the water. The CM's Legioss & Tread will be released together as a set. No word onï½ï½’ice yet, ï½ï½’ cï½ï½Œï½ï½’ variations as the sculpts were unpainted. And yes, the Legioss is roughly the same size as the Toynami version. Graham
  9. Man, getting around in this country is confusing! Graham,ï½™ï½ï½•ï½’roving reporter in Japan
  10. This is now out in HK. Haven't had a chance to see it yet, but Noel called me to say he'd seen it. I'm in the market for a high-end Patlabor toy, but online pics I've seen so far are not wowing me as much as I'd hoped as the white plastic looks really cheap in the photos. Have to see it in person before I decide. Graham
  11. Seems like I'm the only one that prefers the color of the SPEC Eva01 to the SoC Eva01. Definitely think the SPEC captures the anime look more, whereas the SoC paint just looks too metalic IMO and the Eva01 that I remember from the anime definitely was not metalic purple! Graham
  12. Off to the airport in a few hours to catch the plane to Tokyo. Still trying to decide if I should bother taking my laptop with me. It's extra weight and I won't be staying in my hotel room much except to sleep. Still, it's gonna be strange to have no internet access for 3 days if I don't take it. Originally I planned to take it so I could immediately start uploading photos from WonderFest on Sunday evening, but I've now got dinner plans Sunday and then Monday morning I'll be at Yamato's offices, so I won't really have time to work on the computer before my Monday afternoon flight anyway. Graham
  13. It's perhaps not the wisest thing to admit to watching and liking Narutard on a public forum. It will come back to haunt you later in life. Graham
  14. Quick question In robot mode where is the muzzle of the barrel located? Graham
  15. Hah, they sound a real hoot. Graham
  16. I actually don't like the look of a black YF-19. I'd much rather have a white & blue or white & orange Super Nova version than a black one. Graham

    Battle Damaged Toys

    Do VF-0A/S with broken shoulders count as battle damage? Graham
  18. IIRC, some of the VF-0A parked in the Asuka hanger or on the flight deck can be seen with either Skulls or Rabbits on the tails. Graham
  19. Edited topic title to avoid confusion. Graham
  20. Ditto. I've had problems with Kaiyodo and Maxfactory toys. Heck, I've even had problems with quite a few Bandai toys over the years, including breakage prone parts, missing parts and bad paint applications. Yamato is far from the only company with toys with the occasional problems. Heck, software developers are far worse than toy companies about releasing products before they are ready and properly tested. More often than not new software is bug-ridden right out of the box and requires multiple patches before they work. Graham
  21. Vista? Yeah, I'll probably try that in about 5 years or so. Heck, I only just ugraded from Win98 to XP a year and a half ago......LOL! I'm definitely not one to jump on new things computer related. My motto. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Graham
  22. Yamato is not hiding information. The gunpod flaw was not known until I got probably one of the very first production toys, opened it and immediatly pointed it out to Yamato. By that time it was too late and the toys were already on their way to the various wholesalers. With the bundle set, Yamato was also not hiding anything either. The descision to release a bundle set was only made recently, i.e. about a month ago. Originaly it was not planned, but as soon as Yamato decided to do it, I got the news and announced it in my newsletter of Jan-14-2007. Graham
