  1. I had to stop and think for a moment which end is the front
  2. Every time I see the title, I keep thinking it's 'Furry Road' and keep expecting to see Mel Gibson in a teddy bear costume
  3. I hope Arcadia eventually release production versions of these, just like Yamato eventually included production versions of the T-Rex VF-1 option parts with the VF-1 toys.
  4. I actually really like the bright white colour of the Arcadia DYRL Valks, I'd definitely buy Max's 1A/S and Kakizaki's 1A if Arcadia released them in bright white. To be honest, I was never really happy with the grayish off-white that Yamato used for the DYRL Valks. I also like the new Acadia display stand, I think the storage compartment is a great idea for storing all the option parts.
  5. Saw it today with wife and son. Things I liked best were all the SAI custom pistols and carbines and Hound and his one liners and guns.
  6. Black NUNS piece disintegrated on the right shoulder of one of my CF yesterday, which had been standing on display in Battroid mode since I bought it. Only transformed one time, then never transformed the finicky thing again. Black triangle piece cracked and fell off my other CF which was on display in fighter mode months ago.
  7. This is the very first VF toy in the past 20 years that I decided to skip.
  8. Am looking into possibility to get replacement wings for the two of you with broken wings. Small chance, but stay tuned.
  9. I want the Batmobile from the movie. Yesterday, I just bought the set with the orange Akira style bike and the cool looking SWAT car for my son. It was the only one of the movie sets that had been sold out since release, but stores here finally restocked Graham
  10. IIRC, the YF-30 does not carry any external missiles. All the missiles are in the weapon container in the back and in internal weapons bays in the lower legs. Graham
  11. Didn't the original Bandai model kit of the Prophecy have an extra sensor on the side of the gunpod? Seems to be missing from the toy.
  12. Finally! In for one of each. Graham
  13. Holy crap! This is a must buy. Gotta have two, one for fighter and one for battroid. Gorgeous. Graham
  14. Seeing the remake tonight, excited. Graham
  15. How can the words "Chie" and "hate" exist in the same sentence??? Does not compute ><
  16. As Kawamori's VF-4 Lightning design pre-dates the Eurofighter Typhoon by many years, it's more likely that Kawamori got the inspiration for the VF-4's semi-recessed missiles from the F-4 Phantom, which IIRC was the first fighter to feature carriage of semi-recessed missiles. Graham
  17. I think the Tornado Pack and YF-29 were more obviously inspired by the Bell XF-109 (which unfortunately never made it past the mock-up stage), rather than the Osprey. Graham
  18. Just curious, what is the meaning of "RM"? Revised Material? Graham
  19. I've always prefered the DYRL version. May get this.
  20. An extremely poorly equipped patrol, the soldiers have no web gear (apart from belts), no magazine pouches, no canteens, no packs, no spare ammo etc......Arghhhhhh! And anachronisms abound - was that a Picatinney rail I spotted on one of the Thomson SMGs......LOL! Also, one of the soldiers appears to be carrying an AK (without a magazine) or possibly an SKS Couldn't be bothered to look too closely. Gave up watching after I spotted those. Graham
  21. Looking forward to this. As much as I love the original movie, I do like what I see in the trailers so far for the new version. Graham
