  1. Was that pic taken by a traffic camera?
  2. Yeah, I've seen it for HKD 880 (USD 113) in a toy shop near my work recently, which is crazy for such a small toy. I'm sure it's a nice toy and all and I've no idea what the MSRP is supposed to be, but for the size, I wouldn't pay more than HKD 350 (USD 45) for something this size. Probably why I've never gotten into the Hi-Metal R series, I think they are way overpriced for what you get.
  3. I'll probably eventually get the Delta Discs but maybe just up to the series halfway point (discs 1 - 5?) + maybe the final disc and skip the filler second half of the show. But yeah, if Frontier TV series was released on Blu-ray with English subs, I'd be all over that.
  4. Love the level of detail in this game. Was flying my VF-31A in a mission and decided to use the right stick to pan the camera around the fighter mode. Was looking at the underside of the plane and switched to the Beamgun pod and the barrel shroud opens up and slides forward to clear the groin piece, just like it does in fighter mode in the anime (if like me you slow mo the action scenes in the anime you'll have noticed this)
  5. From what I understand, if you are using a memory card in a PSTV, it's just swapping the memory card to switch between accounts, but I'm not 100% sure. I just use the internal memory on my PSTV, I didn't even bother getting a memory card for mine. But I'm not planning to play any other games on it anyway. So I guess for me, as I use internal memory, I may need to reformat, if I ever wanted to change accounts.
  6. Here in Hong Kong, Netflix just got all the Star Trek shows and many of the Star Trek movies a few months ago. Dunno about Netflix in other countries.
  7. It's just the Macross 35th anniversary logo, that's all. Don't read too much into it. Just because there is a VF-25 in the logo, it doesn't`mean the coming 2018 TV series will be based on Frontier. The Logo has VFs from all eras.............VF-1, YF-19, VF-19, VF-25, VF-31 and is just meant to show representative VFs from the past 35 years of Macross.
  8. Gonna wait for the reviews. Not gonna be a first watcher on this one.
  9. Just ordered Keith's Sv-262 fighter mode.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Because as nice as the pics are, Masterfiles, is still basically unofficial fanfic.
  11. I concur. Keep the YF-30.
  12. I really liked Ikenae Borderline and one or two other Walkure songs, but overall I thought the music in Delta was no where near as good as Frontier and I didn't like the songs enough to want to buy any Walkure albums. As well as so many awesome songs, Frontier also had great BGM as well (Private Army, Tally Ho, The Target etc), something Delta sorely lacked. About the only song in Frontier that I got sick of was Aimo, the rest of the songs I loved. I bought every Frontier CD released.
  13. I've got faith in Ryan Gosling. Ridley Scott..........not so much any more.....LOL
  14. It must have been a sparse year for good new albums. But yeah, in the overall grand scheme of things, it's probably good a Macross album won, even if it's the weakest Macross album I can think of since the pretty dire Mac Zero OST.
  15. He will be missed. So many memorable roles.
  16. Yeah, I'd love to see the VF-25 in the Gimix line in plain, Super and Armored.
  17. In that above fighter mode pic, it looks like the rear landing gear wheels are not even touching the ground and it's actually resting on the rear landing gear door tips.
  18. It's awesome on the PSTV.
  19. Actually, can say two video games now. As well as the PS3 Macross 30 game, it's also featured in the PS Vita game Macross Delta Scramble.
  20. Still on the fence about this, I didn't buy any of the Arcadia VF-0 toys, so I don't really feel a need to be a completist and buy the Arcadia Sv-51, especially as I still have my Yamato versions on display. Haven't touched them in years though, so no idea how froppy they may have become. I do remember the missiles drop off the wings if you even look at them the wrong way though.
  21. I really love the VF-2SS design, especially with SAP, so I so wanted these toys to be good. But after being extremely frustrated and disappointed by the standalone Sylvie VF-2SS, there was no way I was going to spend money on the SAP versions. I just hope the Bandai HMR doesn't turn out to be vaporwear.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    It's a wireless charger for the multi-drones. It was never shown in use in the TV series, but was shown in the preview version of episode one, which aired several months before the TV series. That episode is available on the Blu-ray and DVD. In the preview episodes, the multi-drones protect Walkure from a micro-missile strike using their pin-point barriers and then fall to the ground as their power is drained. One of Delta Platoon is then shown using the wireless charger to almost instantly recharge the drones. Unfortunately, they cut that scene in the final release version of episode 1. And yes, there are several scenes in the TV series where some of the characters detached the beam gunpod and used it handheld. Hayate, Messer and maybe Mirage all did IIRC.
  23. No, no, no Gamlin and Mylene are the true stars of the show.

    Macross figures

    Me too and I'm usually not a fan of character figures.
