  1. I let my son watch Aliens the other week, which he really enjoyed, so I decided to pick up the PS3 game 'Aliens Colonial Marines' on Saturday for us to play together. Had to search more than a dozen game shops before I found a second-hand copy as it was sold out everywhere. Gotta say, playing the campaign on split screen co-op mode, we are both really enjoying it so far. The sound is great, the story is pretty good so far, the game is very atmospheric and the graphics aren't too bad. I've been a fan of Aliens since first watching it as a teen back in 86 and I honestly don't get what's with all the complaints about this game. Sure it could be a bit more polished, but we're having a blast so far. Graham
  2. I actually liked the color of the Gunpod on the painted resin prototype. Graham
  3. Pretty sure they came out in 95, I owned both the Plus and 7 versions. Let me check my old hobby mags from that period and see if they show a release date. Graham
  4. I guess they are using the cover art from TIAS Macross Plus as a color reference for the gunpod. Graham
  5. Personally, I think it looks great. Graham
  6. Pre-ordered 2 from NY. Graham
  7. Never had any problems with NY packing, suitably sized strong boxes, with enough padding. Graham
  8. Got my set from NY yesterday. Sheesh, the Reaction missiles and MDEs are huge! But on examining one of my VF-171 that has never been transformed and just kept on the shelf in fighter mode, I discovered a newly formed crack in one if the black triangle pieces Graham
  9. Not gonna canal any of my preorders. I think the VF-25A is a beautiful Valk. I won't be getting any Super Packs for it though, I think it looks much better bare. Graham
  10. Wish the game had split screen mode, so could play together with my son at the same time. Graham
  11. Yes, it's still obviously the resin prototype, not a test shot, so expected to be gappy. Graham
  12. Beautiful. Graham
  13. The original Macross Chronicle shows the Ghost X-9 to be about the same length as a VF-1. The Frontier era AIF-7S are shown to be significantly smaller in Macross Chronicle when compared to the VF-1. I've always felt the X-9 was a bigger craft that the Frontier era Ghosts Graham
  14. Beautiful box art, shame about the kit. Graham
  15. Topic moved, as not Macross related.
  16. As much as I love the original movie, the trailer for the new movie looked pretty damn good. Will definitely see it at the cinema. Graham
  17. Anybody got a good pic of the grey markings on the intakes, so I can inform Arcadia? Checked Macross Mecha Manual, but they got it wrong Graham

    VF-1J 1/55 Scale

    I disagree, Bandai 1/65 VF-17 will survive fast transformations just fine as well. Just as strong, if not stronger than the 1/55 VF-1. Graham I disagree, Bandai 1/65 VF-17 will survive fast transformations just fine as well. Just as strong, if not stronger than the 1/55 VF-1. Graham
  19. Got mine yesterday, no time to open the box yet. Probably wait until the weekend. Graham

    Macross 30

    Still on first play through. At 100 hours and on level 8-5. This game has been really fun and great value for money. Can't wait for my second play through.Going to try ultimate difficulty. Still deciding which character to use next time round. Can anybody tell me what is the sub weapon 3 for Isamu's YF-29? Graham
  21. Wrong forum, this is a model kit, not a toy. Moving. Graham

    Macross 30

    When I get to Ultimate difficulty, I'll let you know. Still on my first play through, on level 8.2 (I think). Graham
  24. Strongly disagree. IMO, the Typhoon (single seat version only) is the best looking of all modern fighters. The only thing that surpasses it for prettiness was the YF-23. I think Rafale is ugly, but then I'm biased as it's produced by the ancient enemy. I will concede that the two seat Typhoon won't win any beauty contests. Graham
  25. Yeah, DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs & Books can all be ordered from Amazon JP. Graham
