  1. ScarJo was obviously chosen for the following reasons: 1) She's a star at the moment, thus a hot property. 2) She's experienced playing a similar secret agent/action character (Black Widow in the Marvel movies). 3) She's got big tits, same as Major Kusanagi. Nuff said! Graham
  2. Well, that was pretty painless. Used CD Japan. Graham
  3. Saw these in person on Saturday when I visited the Toy Soul exhibition in Hong Kong. They are pretty nice. I also picked up some of the same manufacturers Acid Rain toys, which are amazing.
  4. So looking forward to having toys of the new X-wing designs to zoom around the house. I really hope we get the rumored spin-off X-wing movie, as long as it's not based on those awful (IMO) EU books. Want to see more dog fights. Graham
  5. Need a VF-2SS with SAP. Such a gorgeous design. That's about the last VF that I really want. Graham
  6. Just came across these cheap Korean Knock-off SD Valk model kits in the toy section of the Yata department store in Hong Kong. First time to see these. Graham
  7. Finally got round to seeing this with the wife and son a few weeks ago. We all really enjoyed it. I'll probably rewatch it again fairly soon. Graham
  8. Stormtroopers can be any race or colour, although the Empire generally prefered Human males. Stormtroopers are generally NOT Clone Troopers. By the time of episode VII, all the original Clone Troopers would have died out, as they had accelerated aging and aged twice as fast as normal humans. Also, it's been stated that no new Clone Troopers were bred after the end of the Clone Wars. Heck, by the time of episode IV, it's doubtful if there were any Clone Troopers in active service due to their accelerated aging. Any Stormtroopers seen in episodes IV, V, VI and likely VII have either been recruited (or possibly conscripted) from the civilian populace and trained at an Imperial Academy. The recent episode of Star Wars Rebels "Breaking Ranks', further confims that Stormtroopers are recruited from the civilian population. And yes, since April this year, Disney has basically disowned the Expanded Universe, which is a good thing in my opinion, as while some of it was good, most was pretty dire. Only the current 6 movies (+ VII when it comes out) + the Clone Wars animated series is now considered canon.
  9. No interest in buying a Bandai VF-1, but I'd love a VF-2SS with SAP. Graham
  10. I'm quite excited by this, as the 19 (in all its variations) is my second favourite VF after the 17. Will definitely get at least one and if the fighter mode is good, two. Strangely, even though I like Macross Zero and like the VF-0 design, I'm not at all excited by Arcadia's upcoming VF-0D.
  11. I wonder if there will be any crossovers with Arrow, which I'm quite enjoying. Grahamn
  12. Broke the rear attachment point on the gunpod, when trying to attach it in fighter mode last night. I guess I used too much force when trying to push it into the hole in the missile container. Also one thing that really bugs me it's that in fighter mode with the missile container deployed, there is no way to attach the gunpod
  13. Oh, my wife and son know all about missile spamming in Macross. I've been in this hobby since 82 and my wife has been suffering since 91.......hehehe. Just they both thought the weapons pod looked weird compared with all my other Valks. Just transformed from Battroid back to Fighter without resorting to the instructions, easier than expected.
  14. Mine arrived yesterday. Bigger than I expected in Fighter mode. No problem transforming to Gerwalk mode. Transforming to Battroid, was fairly difficult and a bit frustrating, as I personally found the instruction manual a bit unclear about what to do. On a difficulty level, I felt transforming this was similar to the Yamato SV-51. Not looking forward to transforming it back to fighter mode, although I'll have to as that's the mode I like best. Didn't need the braces for either Gerwalk or Battroid mode, nice and tight so far. My wife and son both asked what the missile pod was and thought it looked silly
  15. Shipping notice from CDJ.
  16. Doubt I'll transform mine more than once. This is one bird that's gonna stay in fighter mode.
  17. Yay, bit the bullet and ordered 1pc from CD Japan.
  18. Why are people posting about the Ozma in the YF-30 thread. Stay on topic please guys.
  19. No, wasn't me. I was busying working.........LOL
  20. Thanks for the recommendations guys. Graham
  21. Damn, NY cancelled my order. Meant to pay last night, but forgot. Was going to pay this morning but was 30 minutes past their 8am cut off time, and received an order cancellation email from them. Emailed them back saying I wanted to pay, but they said too late. CD Japan seems out of stock now. Anybody know any other source? I'm just looking for one pc. Graham
  22. Still not received mine from NY, despite paying several weeks ago. No shipping notice received yet either Still not received mine from NY, despite paying several weeks ago.
