  1. Everytime I see this thread title, I keep misreading it as 'Everything Pornography' and then I'm always disappointed when I click on it Just the way my mind works, I guess Graham
  2. I preordered. Gotta pay NY now. Graham
  3. I'd have to respectfully disagree wit you there. Personally, I find the Bandai kit's proportions and sculpt looks 'off' in all three modes. Graham
  4. Just pure speculation. I personally doubt it will happen. I don't think sales of the Bandai 1/55 VF-1 Origin of Valk toys and VF-1 Hi-Metal toys were that strong, likely leading to the premature cancellation of both lines. Also, (and this is just speculation on my part), but with all the negative reviews the Bandai 1/72 VF-1 kit has been getting in it's home country, I doubt sales are that great, meaning Bandai may be even more reluctant to attempt a DX VF-1 toy. And, as already mentioned, Arcadia seems to hold the 1/60 scale licence for VF-1 toys, so if Bandai were to make a VF-1 toy, it would have to be in a different scale. What I would be more interested to see from Bandai is a larger scale, e.g. 1/48 ultra-detail DX VF-1. Graham
  5. I would rather Bandai make a 1/60 DX YF-30 Chronos and YF-25 Prophecy (normal and Leon colours) than a 1/60 DX VF-1. I'm perfectly happy with my 1/60 VF-1 Yammies and I'm sure I'll be just as happy with my 1/60 VF-1 Arcadias (given that they are the same thing). Not saying I wouldn't buy 1 or 2 Bandai DX VF-1 if they made it and it had decent proportions (unlike Bandai's 1/72 kit). But a Bandai DX VF-1 is way, way, way down on my wish list of VF's I'd like to see made. As Vifam7 said, the perfect transformation VF-1 toy has been done to death. Hey, here's a thought. Rather then Bandai tackling the VF-1, how about a Bandai 1/60 DX VF-2SS with removable SAP and a VF-2JA, especially as Arcadia are unlikely to touch Macross II. Graham

    Ah, so that's what the glowing field is around Ozma's YF-29 is for sub weapon 3. Still, I prefer the beam turret for the YF-29, it's one of the defining features of the 29 and it seems strange not having it. I love flying around in the 29 and Tornado pack equipped 25 and zapping things with the turret from any angle. Graham

    Finally got the grey YF-29 (level 8-1), awesome plane. Had the Ozma version, but didn't like it as no beam turret. Graham

    MW member Zoroastres has created an excellent English language guide to the game. Please read this thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=38660 (which is located just a few threads below this thread ) Many us us here don't read or speak a word of Japanese, but with the above guide can play the game without problem. Graham
  9. Can you share that YF-19 and VF-0 image. Want to use them on my SIII. Graham

    Just got Ozma's YF-29, but disappointed it doesn't have the beam turret as weapon 3, just some weird golden glow effect I hope Isamu's YF-29 can use the beam turret. Graham
  11. For something like this, please PM Shawn. Graham
  12. Loved the first movie, but hated the Chuck Norris cameo in the second, really dragged the movie down into camp comedy. Hope the 3rd movie is an improvement. Graham
  13. That is mind blowingly stunning. Graham
  14. Great built, although to be honest I'm not a fan of the extra large thrusters on the leg FAST Packs and the side of the Back FAST packs. Graham
  15. Mine arrived from NY yesterday. Got home very late, so no time to add the super parts or transform it, but looks great, love all the extra Tampo printing, really adds to the toy. Hopefully will have time to transform it tonight. Graham
  16. Looks like a modelling book focused on the new Bandai kit. So probably lots of pretty pics plus build-ups. Graham

    Been playing since shortly after the game came out. Did another 5 Hunter 's Guild quests and 1 main quest yesterday. Now on main quest number 7-4. Limited time to play, so it's taking me a while to work through the game. Going through the Hunter's Guild quests as they become available. Should finally be getting the Tornado Pack soon, yay! Graham
  18. Had a super cool dream last night. I was in the Arcadia showroom and they were letting me handle the resin prototype of the v.2 YF-19. I noticed that it came with slots on the lower legs. I asked what these are for and they said they are attachment points for mounting two more gunpods in fighter mode, meaning a total of three gunpods could be carried in fighter mode. I asked will they supply the toy with three gunpods, but they replied, "Nah, only two". So I said "you gotta include three". Oh, and Kawamori was there in the dream too, but he ddn't say anything. Graham
  19. I thought it had been established that for each of the 2 x ventral bays (leg cover panels) on the VF-22, it was a choice between either gunpod or large reaction missile, but not both at the same time. This would neatly explain why Max is shown only using one gunpod in battroid mode during operation Stargazer, as his other weapons bay was holding the single large reaction missile that he fired into the roof of the cave. The micro-missile launchers on the leg bay cover panels are of course standard, irrespective of whether that leg panel is equipped with a gunpod or large reaction missile. Graham
  20. Looks gorgeous. Graham
  21. Gotta say I'm still looking forward to getting this, even though it is only a partial renewal (as suspected). I love the look of it with the Super Parts in fighter mode and I can't wait to swoosh it round doing mock dog fights with Alto's YF-29. And Bandai have fixed the most flawed parts of the original toy, so it does look much better in battroid mode in the photos. Graham
  22. Sadly it's the current state of affairs that unless you want to gamble on a crap shoot that you'll be able to get this at retaill or lower than retail later on after release, you have to be prepared to pay higher than retail with preorders. Graham
  23. Looks great. Can't wait. Graham
  24. To all those complaining about not securing one. All I have to say is: Come on, if you really wanted one of these and you didn't get one by now, you honestly weren't trying very hard. There were so many release windows from NY and others sellers, more so than for any recent Frontier release.. (Really want = willing to pay higher than retail price mark up). Graham
