Here's the scan of the line-art pic of the FAST packs. The book seems to mention that they are for the VF-1. Perhaps somebody can translate. Also, IIRC the FAST packs shown on the VF-19 in the opening movie of VF-X seem to have thrust vectoring flaps. Graham

Keep this on topic please. This topic is supposed to be about cool Valk poses and this is the MACROSS toy forum. If it becomes a Transformer topic, it will be locked. Graham

Still waiting for news of a grey GFF Z-Plus, no news yet at all I've sort of gone off the blue and red GFF Z-Plus color schemes, too candy-cane-ish. When (or if) a grey one is released, the blue and red will be retired from my display cabinet. And about which is better, the GFF or MG, I'd say go with the GFF. More option parts so you can make more modes, and the MG has a very badly designed hip joint clasp. Graham

What's this about phases, turns and times? I don't have a manual. Graham

Erm....(raises hand), damn it I know, but not sure if I'm allowed to tell or not. This is frustrating sometimes. Graham

Lonely Soldier Boy, I keep meaning to ask you, is your avatar supposed to be an elephant wearing powered armor? Graham

I just checked and my review of the Bandai 1/55 VF-1J Hikaru re-issue was published on Macrossworld on December 30th 2001. Graham

Nope, Yamato don't talk to me much (or at all?) any more. Graham

Unfortunately, Noel was not able to get to Japan in time for TAF 2004 Graham

Damn, been searching the internet high and low and it seems like nobody took any toy pics at TAF 2004 Graham

Heh, if Microsoft pays me $149.99 to take an X-Box, I might just consider it. The only way I would ever consider buying one is if there was a Japanese Macross game made for the system, that was not available for the PS2. As all the games I like (Macross., Ace Combat series & Armored Core Series are on the PS2, I think I'll stick with my PS2). Graham , who bought his SS, PS, DC & PS2 purely for the purpose of playing Macross games

As this is not a pure Macross topic, i.e. it discusses many other types of toys it belongs in the 'Other Anime & Sci Fi' forum. Graham

Wrong forum. This forum is for discussing Macross toys only! Your topic is bing moved to the 'Other Anime & Sci Fi' forum. Graham

I remember those days Shin! And I sure remember when Graham was flammed and told his chunky monkey review was biased!! Looking back on things now, if I had to do it again, I'd probably write that review differently Graham

LOL......that is funny Graham

I think we're gonna have to create a special forum just for you and Agent One. Graham

Bah, Gaiking was always my least favorite super robot. I want a Combattler V remake....best Super Robot show ever IMO! V. V. V. Victory Graham

Yeah...Jack Black as King Kong! Tenacious-Kong....LOL Graham

MSV stands for Mobile Suit Variation. Graham

I saw the Hikaru VF-1J Super at Animate, but not at Kanto. Graham

Just came back from Mong Kok and no Max VF-1J yet at either Kanto Hobby or Animate Graham

I'll see if I can get down to Kanto Hobby and Animate in Mong Kok during my lunch break to see if Max is out yet. Graham

This book has line art of those FAST packs showing them in both open and closed configuration. The front part hinges open to reveal the missiles, much like the shoulder armor of the GBP-1S armor. I'll see if I can remember to scan the pic when I get home tonight. Graham

Ouch.......................that's pretty yucky box art compared to the original. Thanks for the pic tho. Graham

I've heard rumors of an Academy VF-2SS for a long time, but I've never actually seen one. Can you post photos of the box and the kit? Graham
