Still don't have my Super Stealth yet, but got to handle one for a short time the other day and it definitely looks better in person than in online photos. The Superstealth box is ridiculously huge. Graham

Just wondering has anybody picked up the Takara 1/18 scale Scopedog toy that was released late last month and if so, how does it compare with the Yamato 1/12 scale version? Although I haven't handled the Takara version yet and it sold out pretty quickly at shops here in Hong Kong, from what I can tell it has the advantages over Yamato of having a cheaper price point, comes with a Chirico Cuvie microman pilot figure and has a weathered paint job.

Just curious, anybody know where the chaff and flare launchers are located on the F-22, or even if it has chaff and flare launchers? If it has them, I'm presuming that like its offensive weapons, they must be hidden behind doors when not in use to preserve stealth. Graham

Not interested personally. There's already plenty of manufacturers such as Armour, Corgi & Dragon making detailed real-world plane replicas. Graham

You have to play through 50 missions before you even get to use the VF-1?!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I'll pass. Graham

I find it pretty durable. Some joints may be loose, but that has nothing to do with durability. Graham

Wow, missed it when I was writing my review, but I just noticed over the weekend that the instument panel is also Tampo printed on. I love this toy. Graham

Heh, love the 'Golf Club Storage' marking on that F/A-18. Graham

Yes, a Corgi EF2000! I love the Typhoon and being British, it's the plane I fly the most in the Ace Combat games. Will definitely be picking one up. Graham

I've never tried messing around with the forum software before, so I'm going to leave this one to Shawn to fix. I've already emailed him and if he hasn't fixed it in a day or two, I'll chase him with a phone call. Graham

It was a joke. Look up the euphemism for "bush." 398800[/snapback] I have one onething to say 'Brazillion'. Graham

OK, when you talk about Kawamori 'doing' people, you mean doing as in acting their roles, or doing as in the 'Debby Does Dallas' meaning? Graham

Here's a recent pic of me with my son, who will by 2 years old in June. Graham

Heh, just read this on another forum about the canopy on an F/A-22 jamming shut and having to be cut open with a chainsaw. See: here. Graham

+1 for Yoko Kanno. Graham

If a new Macross TV series, OVA or movie is ever made, I'd like to see Kawamori responsible for the mecha designs of course, but not for the story, unless he's willing to drop all mystical and tree-hugging elements. And it would be great to have Mikimoto back on character design duties as well. Graham

The 4 slits on the VF-0S's backback are a completely different size and shape compared to those on the 1/48, so the 1/48 FAST Packs will not fit. Not to mention that they would be completely out of scale anyway. Graham

Technically, it is possible. But a VF-0D would require a lot of new tooling, which would be very expensive. Graham

To set the record straight, as far as I'm concerned AgentONE is permanently banned. He is no longer welcome on Macrossworld. If Macross Nexus wants him, they are welcome to him. He has been given plenty of chances over the years, but each time he comes back, he just seems to get more disruptive and insulting, with little in the way of positive contributions via his posts. Basically, he has made it impossible for people on this forum to hold an intelligent discussion on Macross 7 with it turning into a 'Macross 7 is gay' or 'I hate Macross 7' fest. Also, despite the many updates to the main site this year, AgentONE is overly critical to the point of being insulting. While constructive criticism is welcome AgentOne has crossed the line with his constant personal attacks. The straw that finally broke the camel's back was his comments in this thread. I actually like AgentONE and think he would be a great guy to go out partying with, but he's just stepped over the line of what is acceptable behavior on these forums one time too many. The current 999 day suspension was just a temporary measure and will be changed to a permanent ban once I have a couple of minutes to log into the admin control panel. Graham

Great, can't wait to see the toys. Graham

Fanastic looking work Cap't. Graham

Ha, that means more for me then. You are missing out on a great toy you know! I wouldn't call slightly loose knee and elbow swivel joints a disaster. Graham

Even with slightly loose knee swivel joints, I find it no problem to pose the toy in GERWALK mode. Graham

I have no idea what a MUNNY is. Damn pop culture and youth of today, always coming out with these new terms. Graham

I think I should lock this thread and then use all the info everyone has posted to blackmail you all. Graham
