If they weren't shown, or if nobody took pics, I'll see if I can at least get permission to describe them Graham

Last Friday I was told that Yamato would have the Stealth and Low Vis 2 on display at Wonder Fest as well as the recolor Macross stands and the VF-0S. I don't know if something changed between Friday and Sunday though. SaveRobotech was supposed to be going and taking pics. He hasn't posted in this thread yet. Hopefully he got some pics. but just hasn't had time to post them yet though. Graham

Yamato were supposed to show the Low Vis 2 & Stealth at Wonder Fest. Graham

BTW, the title Low Vis 2 is somewhat misleading. Graham

I'm pretty sure it's only on Sunday 19th Feb. Graham

I've just created a simple page for the Garland toy, where I plan to post all news and photos. While I know it's not Macross, a lot of us here including the long-lost Shawn are Megazone 23 fans. Graham

Also remember that Macross Plus is set, what 32 years(?) ahead of Macross Zero and the YF-21 & YF-19 are far more advanced designs and probabably stronger and tougher than the VF-0 and likely to have a far higher maximum safe speed at which they can transform as well. Graham

I seriously doubt we'll see any 1/60 VF-0 variants at this Wonder Fest. I mean the VF-0S is not even out yet. I would think Yamato would want to promote the VF-0S a bit more first and wait for it to be released before pushing any new variants. Graham

It is actually mentioned in the anime that the VF-0 is going too fast to transform at the point. I can't remember if it's something Shin says or whether it flashes up as a warning on the HUD though. Have to watch that scene again. I would imagine that all VFs have a maximum safe speed for transforming in atmospheric flight, no matter how tough they are. Graham

Thanks, that'll do it's clearer than the scan on Starshipmodler. Graham

Could somebody please do me a larger scan, say 1200 pixels wide at 300dpi of this page of the Hasegawa YF-19 instruction sheet please. If you can help out, PM me and I'll give you an email address to send the pic to. Thanks, Graham

Make sure to take plenty of pics. Graham

What's wrong with the current VF-0S pic? I think it's great. Graham

I'm hoping to have more info and have clearance to release that info by tomorrow. Stay tuned. Graham

Zin Panic's info is wrong. There is no added internal detail. Graham

The other difference is that the Mini-Mods are all only about 3 feet tall. That's why we call them Mini-Mods, see. Graham

Anybody know a good photo editing software that you can set to resize and save multiple pics automatically, without having to resize and save them one by one manually? Going through 300 pics and resizing them one by one is a PITA. Graham

Deleted. Graham

Wow tons of pics there....groan, which means loads of editing. So let me get this straight, the custom ones are: - JM VT-1 JM VF-1D JM VF-1S Strike Hikaru JM VF-1J Hikaru Super? Any others? Sorry, I'm not very knowledgable about JMs, as SD stuff is not my thing, so I'm not sure which are the customs and which are the stock factory toys. Graham

Let's have no personal attacks please. Members are welcome to disagree with each other, but should do it politely when posting on the MW forums. The next person and I don't care who it is, who makes a personal attack or resorts to name calling gets an automatic 2 week ban. Graham

As these 1/100 toys come with DYRL type UUM-7 micro-missile pods, that would seem to imply that a DYRL Strike cannon could be coming later. Graham

Of course Toynami are going to make sure that the samples displayed at NY Toy Fair look good. Let's hope the final production versions look as nice and are durable, stable have nice tight joints, don't crumble in your hands.... etc. But don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Graham

I wouldn't be too quick to proclaim this a 'quality' toy before any of us have had any actual hands-on experience with the final production version. While It looks nice in the photos and I wish Toynami all the best, their track record is less than stellar. Graham

That Hasbro MKII and Galactica look sweet. Definitely gettting multiples so I can make a Viper squadron. Any idea of the release date and price? On the other hand, that SD Art-Asylum MKVII and lego-type figure looks like crap IMO. Never liked cutsie super-deformed stuff. Graham

Around 800 x 150 would be fine. Graham
