To answer some of the questions above. No, the 1/48 FAST Packs cannot fit in the holes in the 1/60 VF-0S backpack. The holes are too small and have slightly rounded corners as well. Don't worry about the swing bar on the VF-0S, it's plenty strong enough. While it's not revolutionary, it's certainly evolutionary in that Yamato have thought of ways to improve nearly every part over the 1/48. Graham

That's about the Hasegawa 1/72 battroid kit out in March, which comes with both an 'S' and an 'A' type heads. Graham

New pics of the Yamato 1/60 VF-0S from the April 2006 issues of Dengeki Hobby magazine & Hobby Japan magazine have been added to the Yamato VF-0S pre-production page. (click on link and scroll down to the magazine pics). These magazine pics have also been archived in the MW Magazine Section. Graham

Thank you for just making me spray my coffee all over my monitor. Funnisest thing I've read in a while. But I think your sentence is missing 3 letters: - Graham

Yeah I have that set as well and it's very good. Graham

Fan-made Robotech RPG game stats have nothing to do with Macross. Please do not quote them on this site as a source of reference when discussing Macross mecha. Just put the 20 micro-missiles in the pod and be happy FYI, the 1/48 toy was designed with a lot of input from Mr. Kawamori and he had final approval on nearly everything, so it's pretty safe to say that 20 missiles per pod is correct for the VF-1 in Macross. As for Robotech........who cares!? This is a Macross site, not a Robotech site. Graham

Will get this added to the MW custom toy gallery today. Graham

Will add this to the MW custom toy gallery today. Graham

2 sets of the standard set and 2 sets of the leg art set for me please. Graham

GBP is pretty much problem free. The chest problem will be fixed by the second release. Still waiting to find out the color change (if any) of the 2nd release. Sorry. Graham

Just saw the news about the upcoming 1/18 scale A Song Of Ice & Fire figures from Testors. They look pretty nice. Graham

Heh, I've got fanart 'pic of the week' shown on the main page. Guess I'll have to change that to 'month'. Graham

Haven't we done this before? 1) Guld in flight suit (M+) 2) Shin in flight suit (M0) 3) Mylene in bikini (M7) 4) Max in Captain's uniform (M7) 5) Minmay in shower (DYRL) 6) Chase: Cutaway YF-19 cockpit (M+) Graham

It's not just the bad grammar and incorrectly named chracters that are the problem with the various Taiwan and HK bootleg DVDs, it's also that they really mess up the translation of what is said about the AFOS and protoculture. Graham

What about beer? Graham

IIRC, there are only three new Tenjin Macross box arts not in the book: - SV-51 w/Boosters. VF-0A/S with Ghost. VF-0S Battroid. That's not enough for a new book yet. Or am I forgetting some? Graham

Should have some definite info by Friday. Graham

I'd go for fansubs. All the boots I've seen have terrible subs. Graham

Added a Winter WonderFest 2006 page, which has larger versions of the pics SaveRobotech took. Graham

The Tuna is taking a well deserved vacation. Read this thread for details. Graham

I notice the VF-0S can keep it's gunpod in fighter mode when attached to the stand, unlike the 1/48 VF-1 toys. Graham

I've been told that the pilots will be colored differently. Graham

Eh? That conflicts with my info which is from a pretty reliable source, which says they are the Low Vis 2 & Stealth color schemes. Graham

I've seen better photos of the Stealth and Low-Vis 2 (AKA camo Valk) and they look much nicer. The Camo Valk looks great in fighter mode IMO. Yes, the Camo Valk paint scheme was inspired by Vietnam War era jets. Graham
