  1. I got the same delayed until June notice from CD Japan as well.
  2. I threw out all 4 of my 171 in disgust about 6 months ago (2 x CF & 2 x Alto).

    Sunwards Valkyries

    Now there's a name I've not heard in a long while. Heh, and I think I wrote the text for that flyer, apart from the copyright notice. IIRC, the best friend of Yamato's CEO was going to be put in charge of Sunwards. Graham
  4. Yeah, first movie was fresh and fun. The sequels, I literally can't sit throgh them withough nodding off. Happens everytime I try, i'm soon.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
  5. As we are getting close to the release date, I'm hoping Bandai will release some new publicity photos soon of the final production item. Graham
  6. So excited for this. I think Comander Wolffe may also be with Rex. I think I spotted a clone with one eye there as well. Have to rewatch the trailer again (for the umpeenth time). This trailer for season 2 excited me just as much as new Force Awakens trailer. This is going to be a great year for Star Wars fans. Graham
  7. Possible those tabs sticking out of the top of the battroid's chest plate may be able to retract in and they just forgot to retract them for the photo shoot. Graham
  8. What issue?????
  9. This is a must buy for me, I've wanted a perfect variable toy of the VF-2SS since first watching Macross II in 1992. I don't care that it doesn't look 100% lineart accurate, it looks good enough and close enough to me. Heck my favourite Macross toy is still the 1/65 Bandai VF-17D/S, which is far from anime accurate, but is just so rugged and fun and quick and easy to transform. Anyway, I don't see any other company tackling the VF-2SS. Graham
  10. While I loved the original Tron movie as a kid, I felt Tron Legacy was pretty meh. When I finally got round to watching it on DVD, it took me three evenings to finish it, as the first two evenings watching it it put me to sleep. Not really keen to see a Tron 3. Graham
  11. Gonna give Aldnoah Zero a try also after I finish Knights of Sidonia. Any other recent good (real robot) mecha anime recommedations? No Gundam please. Graham
  12. Watched it with my son, we both thought it was fairly funny. Definitely had its moments, especially in the first half. I wouldn't have paid to see it, but then I didn't.....hahah. Graham
  13. Just finished the first episode of Argevollen, but really didn't enjoy it. I'll probably give it one more episode and then likely give up, unless it improves drastically. This is really mecha anime by the numbers, nothing we haven't seen done far better, many time before elsewhere. And while the mecha designs and animation is OK, the character animation is absoutely atrocious. I'm guessing the animation was farmed out to the lowest bidder. It was really jarring to me how badly the characters were animated and moved. I may be spoilt, because I just watched the gorgeoulsy animated Knights of Sidonia before watching this steaming pile of horse dung. Graham Up to episode 9 on Knights of Sidonia and loving everything about it so far, the story, the animation, the mecha, the characters, the combat. It's so fresh. Graham
  14. I think it was pretty much a given that Kawamori would be doing the mecha designs. I don't know about anybody else, but it never even crossed my mind that there was a possibility that someone else would do the mecha designs. Graham
  15. Haven't watched any new anime since Macross Frontier, there's seriously been nothing that even looked remotely interesting to me. However, I've finally decided to give Knights or Sidonia and Argevollen a try. Graham
  16. Regarding the stormtrooper kit, are all the black bits that should be black actually black? I mean like the eye lenses, mouth vents etc. Or do they need painting? Graham
  17. Hoping for some firm news soon, such as pics of the mecha designs. We've never been let down by the music of Macross, so a singer is a singer is a singer as far as I'm concerned But I wanna see how the VFs look. Graham
  18. KInda disapointed the X-wing kits were not completely pre-coloured. I would have loved a detailed X-wing kit I could have just snapped together that looked good, that didn't require painting. Weren't the old Bandai Star Trek kits completely pre-coloured? Graham
  19. 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
  20. Well, that was pretty painless. Used CD Japan. Graham
  21. 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.
  22. 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
