Lots of us ordered the VF-25A when it started selling about 2 weeks ago Scored 3 myself Can't wait to get them Graham

The Hong Kong skyline scenes were pretty authentic, but I agree the street scenes were not at all accurate. For some reason Hollywood has this idea that modern day Hong Kong streets resemble a stylised 1930s Shanghai, but with lots of neon And don't get me started on how Macau was portrayed in Skyfall ;( Graham

Wish they would have corrected the VF-17S face color error. Graham

In the specs for both the YF-29 and Tornado Pack, it mentions the turret can only be turned at subsonic speed. At supersonic, it has to be locked in the forward firing position. Graham
-
So far there have been no official specs for the YF-30. So we don't know in what ways (if any) is the two engined YF-30 with its unaerodynamic box missile launcher superior to the 4 engined YF-29 with its beam turret, multiple inbuilt micro-missile launchers and swiveling engine pods. Graham

Saw it today with wife and son. We all really enjoyed it. Great summer movie with excellent set designs. Son now wants a Gypsy Danger toy, I want Striker Eureka. Wondering why when the Kaiju used its EMP weapon why the power on Hong Kong Island wasn't affected also. Graham

I like the YF-29 because it's the current state-of-the art VF in the Macross universe and the design has really grown on me. And I like both the 30th anniversary version and the Isamu. The 30th because it's kind of a Roy Focker color scheme and looks good and the Isamu version because it's freaking Isamu Dyson colors and he flies it (and its playable) in the recent Macross 30 PS3 game.

If hi speed mode compromises other aspects of the transformation, if prefer swappable hi speed wing parts. Graham

D9 is one of my all-time favorite recent movies. So looking forward to this. Never heard of Children of Men, have to look it up. Graham
-
Just got notice from CD Japan that my other 25F has shipped. Graham
-
Got my payment request from NY today for the 25F. Graham
-
Maybe swapable wings. One set standard wings and one set in high speed mode. No need for any complicated folding mechanism and no need to put slots in the leg of the toy. Graham
-
Bandai made such a huge improvement on the renewal version. Now if only they could solve the problem of the self loosening hips and shoulders and add hard points on the wings, it would be the perfect VF toy. (Oh, and produce enough so that scalpers don't drive up the price) Graham

I think the color scheme looks much better in fighter mode. Graham

I posted the screen shot of the quest description in my post above. It's a hunters guild quest that's available at Urthr when you are on main mission 7-2. The prize is the YF-19 II blue prints. As mentioned, no circle on the map to show where to go and I've triple checked the item is not in my inventory. Basically I want to know whether the quest description screen shot I posted gives a location name? I spent an hour trying to match up location names on the map with the characters in the description, but no luck. Graham
-
Thankfully, no problems so far (touch wood) with my two VF-171 CF. But I doubt I will transform them again, they'll stay 1 in fighter mode and 1 in battroid mode. Graham
-
Acadia definitely needs a separate site or page for their Macross stuff. Their current home page is definitely NSFW. I don't even dare open it at home when the wife and son are around. Heck, I won't even open it on my phone's browser when there's other people nearby. Graham

I've always thought that would be an easy custom build, just use a watermelon Graham

Can anybody help me with this Hunter's Guild quest from Urthr (Madis Glacier). See attached pic of quest description. I've no idea where to go to find the stolen vase. I've tried following Dio's advice, to look for the cave name in the quest description, but I just can't find any Kanji or Katakana that look like any location on the map. I've double checked and the item is not already in my inventory. And there is no green circle on the map showing where to go. I'm stumped and it doesn't help that I've just come back from vacation, so haven't played for 2 weeks, so I'm a bit rusty. Graham

It's yellow trim, not gold. Graham
-
This is going to look so awesome next too the Isamu YF-29. Graham
-
Yes, it was in the Macross 30 game and yes, it was flown by Isamu. It was also apparently in the hybrid pack game that came with the second FrontIer movie. Graham
-
Yes, yes, yes!!! 3 will be mine. Can the YF-30 be far off. Graham
-
Saw 3 or 4 in model shops in the Mong Kok district here in HK a couple of weeks ago. Seems not difficult to find. Beautiful box art. Graham

Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann
Graham replied to Vi-RS's topic in Model kits
Kudos to Bandai for making this kit, even though several of the design choices seem questionable to me. In there end, the more choice of Macross merchandise we have the better for us fans. We should all be happy. Traditional model builders have Hasegawas/Wave, toy fans have Yamatos/Bandai/Arcadia and those who like snap fix transforming kits have this new Bandai kit. I will say it's not for me though. Although I used to buy the old Imai/Arai/Bandai Macross kits back in the 80s and 90s, the only reason I did so was because the Takatoku and Bandai VF-1 toys were not available where I was back then or were too expensive at the time, whereas the kits were easy to buy and relatively cheap. However, being that I'm a toy guy, more than a model guy and I always end up beaking transforming kits after a few transformations, I'll stick with my Yammies, Bandais and hopefully soon to come Arcadias. But for those of you who do like snap fix kits good for you, you now have another choice. Now can't we all get on please. Graham
