Don't let anybody tell you the VF-19A is fragile. It's not. As Lonewolf stated, it's one of the sturdiest Macross toys Yamato made. The only problems you will have with the toy as already mentioned is paint chipping on the diecast metal parts and of course the hideously ugly sculpt in fighter mode . Don't believe the 'it's so complex it takes ages to transform' crowd either. While the instructions are not the clearest in the world, it really shouldn't take you more than 5-10 minutes maximum for a first try. With practice you should be able to transform it in under 2 minutes. Back when the YF-19 came out, I was able to transform it in 1 minute (I have it on video). Graham

One word, 'space'! Not all of us have a second house or own private warehouse just for storing our toys And not all of us live in huge American size mansions either. Remember, the primary market for the Yamato Macross toys was Japan and houses in Japan (and also here in HK) tend to be much smaller. Living in a small house makes it that much more difficult to have large toys. There is also the issue of what I call 'handiness' for want of a better word. There comes a point where a toy is so large that it becomes unweildy to play with. The 1/48 VF-1 is approaching this point IMO. Personally, I find something about the size of a 1/55 is just right for palying with, not too big and not too small. Graham

Unfortunately, in none of the artbooks are those chest tubes labled. The only piece of lineart that has any writing next to them is in the Hasegawa YF-19 instructions. Graham

In my book, if the base mecha was a toy, I'd call it a toy, no matter how many model parts you stuck on it. Graham

Referring to the title of this thread, do you guys realize how insanely huge a 1/48 VF-0 would be! This has been mentioned numerous times in the past, but the VF-0 simpy dwarfs the VF-1. Those of you who have both the Hasegawa VF-1 & VF-0 kits will know what I mean. 1/48 woud be just too big IMO. Basically, a 1/60 VF-0 would already be about the same size as a 1/48 VF-1. Personally, I'd be more than happy with a 1/72 or 1/60 scale version, just not the craptastic 1/100. Graham

Damn, I get the sound but only a white screen Graham

The problem is the Hasegawa kit is not accurate to the lineart in this area. In Kawamori's line art, the front of the tubes are completely covered in fighter mode. This was mentioned earlier in this thread. So while the chest tubes may well still be guns, they could only be used in battroid mode, not Fighter or Gerwalk mode. Also, as has been mentioned, the YF-19 has the wing root lasers for use in Fighter mode. Graham

Nah, maybe it's that drink that Aries gives to the villagers in Macross Zero. What was it called, Appale Genki? Graham

Um... considering where we are the moment, that comes as a shock does it LMAO Hmm......anal anime fans on an anime forum.....who would a thunk it? Graham

Previously discussed in this thread. I've had mine on preorder since January. One thing I note though, clicking on the link in the first post shows the cover has been changed from what we were first shown back in January. Here's the old cover picture from January. Compared to the new cover pic. Think I prefer the new cover, looks tidier. Graham

While I'd love to meet Mari, the chance of me travelling all the way from HK to the US just to do so is pretty slim in my present financial state. Anyway, I'd probably just go all rabid fanboy on her and ask her to recreate the DYRL shower scene . Graham

Is that VF-0S custom made using a Toynami Super Poseable? If yes, then I'll move this topic to the toy forums, as it is a toy not a model and so should not really be in the model forums. Or are you customising one of the old resin VF-1 Wonder Fest kits that Toynami based the Super Poseable sculpt on? That would make it a model kit, in which case it can stay in the model forums.

With the popularity of Macross in Japan sinking faster than the Titanic, I think it's going to be a long time (if ever) before we see another Macross sequel. Graham (the MW prophet of doom)

Nah, it's all about mind games. If you really want to freak out those Japanese kids and give them a real inferiority complex for life about the size of their dicks, go down to the deli (assuming they have delis in Japan?) and buy the biggest salami you can find. Of course make sure it's one of those ones sealed in plastic, so there is no smell, then stuff it down your pants (perhaps tape it onto the front of your underwear to stop it moving around), so that when the kids do make a grab for your dick, all they are getting is a handful of gigantic salami. If you want to be really evil about it, you could then tell them that you are even on the small size for gaijin and most are even bigger.......Ha Ha Ha Graham

Looks great. Graham

But didn't you notice, it was the boys trying to grab his dick, not the girls. Anyway, I'm surprised Michael Jackson never went to teach English in Japan, I'm sure he would have loved a job where young boys try to grab his dick all day . Graham
-
Nah, I'm pretty sure it's an unpainted 1/144 model kit, not the MMM GQ. Firstly the swords and shoulders are unpainted. Secondly, the plastic looks model quality, not the high quality ABS of the toy, this is especially noticible on the shoulders. Lastly, big seam lines, which shows it as a quickly snapped together model. Graham

The Official Aim for the Top! Gunbuster Thread
Graham replied to Noriko Takaya's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Oh I never follow the consensus and always try things for myself anyway. I'm planning to give the sequel a try no matter what other people say. I was just curious were people criticising the sequel because they thought it was genuinly bad or just beacuse it didn't live up to the original? Graham -
Rather than this new movie, I'd rather Mann directed a movie or TV miniseries starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas back again as Crocket and Tubbs, showing what they are doing now nearly 2 decades after the events in the final episode of season 5. Graham

Hmm......not liking this pic too much: - http://www.colinfarrellfansite.com/gallery...miamivice34.jpg Everybody knows that Crocket would wear a T-shirt under his suit jacket, not a shirt . Graham

Please stay on topic. This is not a Yukikaze thread. There are plenty of older Yukikaze threads that can be dug up to post this info. Graham

There are pics of Farrell as Sonny already? Graham
