  1. My son and I are quite getting into the 'Avengers, Earth's Mightiest Heroes' cartoon. Just finished season 1 and starting on the currently airing season 2. Nice to see a US cartoon that actually has a multiple plot threads running throught the series, not just stand-alone 'bad guy of the week' episodes. Graham

    SCOOP thread!

    It's "Jon Snow", not "John Snow". Graham
  3. Got to buy at least 3 of the VF-19F, it is the most sexy VF ever IMO. Graham
  4. As I've mentioned many times, I would have been a lot happier with the YF-29 toy, if the lower legs locked more securely in fighter mode and the shoulder armour didn't pop of at least twenty times during each transformation. But as for the mecha design, I do find it far too busy and spiky and don't really like Alto's paint scheme. In my opinion, the VF-25 is a far nicer looking VF and toy. Graham
  5. Prefer the VF-25F toy and anime design over the YF-29 toy and anime design. Graham
  6. Kawamori should stick purely to mecha design and leave the directing to others. This applies to Macross too. Graham
  7. I thought from the thread title this topic would be about model kits photoshopped into pictures of real world events. Yeah, like Valks or Zakus photoshopped into pics of fighting in Afganistan or something like that. Graham
  8. No, it's even more impressive. Absolutely stunning. The most beautiful VF ever. I'm in love. Graham
  9. Damn, that's good. Thought they were CG pics from the show at first. Graham
  10. Never into the whole Super Sentai/Power Rangers thing and even my son was only briefly into Power Rangers for a short period, but this show sounds like fun and I may give it a try, especially as there seems to be an English subbed version (from the screen shots above). Graham
  11. Of course Flashback 2012. Graham Spare elbow, knee, shoulder and hip joints......just in case! Graham
  12. Standing Minmay figure. Graham
  13. Hopefully, it's not limited to Japan only. Graham
  14. Yes, that may well be, but it's still considered a treasonable offence in the UK to pronounce the language of the ancient enemy correctly! Remember Agincourt!......Mwahaha
  15. Which is why all my Bandai's get displayed in fighter mode Graham
  16. Received my Alto Super Parts from Tokyo Hunter (Save), yesterday. Here’s my initial musings: I’ve only put them on in fighter mode so far, as that’s the mode I prefer for most of my VFs. I think they look great. Paint application is first class and the tampo printing is really well done. If a few parts are painted the wrong colour, I didn’t notice and don’t really care to be honest. If it was a VF with a simpler colour scheme like the VF-17 or VF-19, any mistakes would stand out, but on the VF-25F as there’s so many coloured areas, it’s not really noticeable (at least to me). I love that all the thrusters are on ball joints and can be individually moved, even the smaller maneuvering thrusters, that’s a great touch. Several people have complained that the hip armour falls off easily. Well, I don’t know about Battroid or Gerwalk mode, as I haven’t tried those modes yet, but certainly in Fighter mode, the hip armour attaches very securely and you can actually hear it click into place. I was actually very impressed by how easily and securely all the armour attaches in Fighter mode. The only minor difficulty I had was attaching the wing packs as it took me a while to figure out how to slide them on correctly. My only minor complaint is that the missile hatches have a tendency to pop off when you try to open them, unless you are very careful. All in all, great job Bandai! Get’s a 9/10 from me. Graham
  17. There's only a few reported cases of the VF-19 joint popping apart and this only seems to happen when the ankle joint is deliberately forced past it’s range of motion limit. Graham
  18. Had to look up what a 'shawarma' is. Never heard that name before. Here we just call them kebabs or donner kebabs. Graham
  19. I thought there was only something shown mid-credits, not at the end of the credits? Here in Hong Kong, we had the mid-credit sequence. Graham
  20. Damn, hate freemium games, always need to sepnd so much real cash to buy upgrades, if you actually want to progress in the game. Would rather just pay a one-off fee and be done. Graham Well, the official website does show an image of the VF-25F, so I guess there will be Frontier content. I hope it's not just only available in Japan though. And I hope they leave out that academy type crap they jammed into MTF. I just wanna fly around in VFs and blow crap up, not go through so crappy school simulator. Graham
  21. Haha.......I read that as 'Tuna Gundam".........LOL! Graham
  22. Does it come with a cloaking device? Graham
  23. You are on the best one already Graham
  24. If a full Macross game is released, whether it be on the PS3, Vita or whatever Sony's next-gen console will be called, I truely hope they stay away from DLC. Even though I don't play console games at the moment and stopped several years ago, I'd pick up a new console to be able to play a full Macross game. However, the very concept of DLC fils me with horror. Graham
