Damn, snapped the head off one of the small pegs holding the wings on when trying to remove the left wing Luckily was able to glue it back on. The armour looks great. For those that were wondering, the thigh armour is secure in figher mode, it's only in battroid mode that it falls off easly. Graham

Just can't get enthused to buy the new Chronicles. As I've stated before, If they were just going to release 30 issues of all new material and name it 'Chronicle Part 2' or something like that, I'd be all over it. But really can't justify the money, space and time involved with collecting the whole thing over again. Graham

That'd have to be an awfully big dungeon to fit in the Quarter Graham

I'm all over this, love the fighter mode and love the game color scheme. Graham

Gonna have to live vicariously through everybody's photos. Finances are lousy at the right now, just can't afford all the Macross goodies coming out at the moment Graham

Damn, I can't even remember which online shop I placed my preorder with and whether I prepaid already or not, it's been so long.........Ha ha ha! I really should keep better track of my preorders. Oh well, no shipping notice or request for payment received yet. Graham

Well, the YF-30 at least still has it's beam gun pod, even if nothing else. But I still think the missile launcher having to pop up in fighter mode and then rotate 90 degrees so the long side is face-on (inducing more drag) in order to fire is pretty silly. Graham Graham

Based on the pics we've seen so far, the YF-30 seems a bit underarmed, especially compared with the YF-29. There does not appear to be any hip/wingroot guns. Although there are two things that could possibly be guns in the battroid's lower torso (see notes on attached pics). And no heavy beam cannon turret, unlike the YF-29. No arm shield, although perhaps the vertical stabilizers (tail fins) are strengthened and act in conjunction with pin point barriers, like on the YF-21/VF-22? And as there is no arm shield, that means no storage for a PPB Knife, unless it is stored elsewhere, such as in the lower leg. It looks like the large missile launcher pod has to be in the deployed position in fighter mode to fire missiles and even with strengthened Over-Technology materials, there is still going to be a speed limit at which it can safely deploy, which means no missiles if going too fast. Also, it would create a lot of drag in the firing position. To be honest, this missile pod seems extremely impractical for fighter mode. Possibly some micro-missile ports on the lower legs (see notes on attached pics), but not sure. If not, that woulkd seem to be another step backwards from the YF-29. Don't get more wrong, I love the look of the YF-30 in all three modes, especially fighter mode, but I'm just not liking that damn missile pod and the way it needs to deploy in fighter mode to fire.

My phone's screen is higher resolotion than my laptop, so it was much easier to read the word "SIEGFRIED" on my phone's screen. Graham
-
Notice on the Gerwalk and Battroid mode pics of the YF-30, it says SIEGFRIED 001 (or maybe 007) on the lower leg. Graham

Nice to see a VF-11 in the game play screen shots and a VF-171EX (although the VF-171EX had already been shown in the trailer). Although the game looks gorgeous, I'm still on the fence about buying it, until I know how hard it will be for people who can't read Japanese to play. With all the quest based missions, I suspect it will be much harder to muddle through, compared to the PSP games, even with GameFAQs guides. Graham

Great pic from Cracked.com. Love the warning label. Graham
-
Sketchley, Is Gamlin still in the military? Is he still a pilot? You mention his title 'Director Gamlin', Director of what? Can you elaborate please? Graham
-
Oh dear I had high hopes for this, as I love the book, but after watching the trailer, it's gone 'from must see at the cinema', to 'torrent eventually, if bored and nothing else to do or watch'. CGI Olympic sprinter zombies just don't float my boat. Fail and pass. Back to The Walking Dead. Nothing more to see here folks. Graham
-
I'm a little concerned why we have the VF-1 and VF-25 shown flying with Super Packs in atmosphere in fighter mode. Also, I really hope we get the full range of VFs, not just the meagre selection shown so far. Really want VF-17D/S, VF-19F/S, VF-22S, VF-11B/C/Full-Armoured and VF-171/171EX as well. Graham

This is probably what episode VII will end up looking like Is it just me, or does George have a "Oh, crap, WTF have I just done" kinda look on his face. Graham

Patience guys. All good things come to he who waits. Graham

Many years ago, Yamato told me that Kawamori-san wouldn't like it if they made a VF-2SS. Whether this still holds true today, I don't know. More recently (at least once a year), I suggest to them tha many overseas Macross fans would love them to make a perfect variable VF-2SS toy with removeable SAP. Their reply is always the same. They don't think the show and designs are popular enough. Graham
-
I've asked Yamato about the final color of the stripes on the VF-17D, but no reply yet. Graham
-
Some quick snaps of the new Armor Packs. Photos taken with my Galaxy S3. The VF-25F, was my spare, which I removed from the box for the first time today and the right shoulder ball joint was already super loose Graham
-
I really hope we do get some new Macross 7 footage and get to see what the characters look like now. It would be great to see what Gamlin, Mylene and Basara are up to now. I wonder what Gamlin is flying these days, still the black VF-22S, or something more modern? Or perhaps he's in comand of a ship by now. Perhaps, we'll see Ozma piloting a YF-29 in his color scheme from the PS3 game. Graham IMO, in all but animation quality, Macross 7 > Macross Frontier. Graham
-
I actually love the sleekness of the VF-19S/F without the canards and love the shape of the wings also. The VF-19S/F are my second all time favorite VF designs behind the VF-17D/S. Graham
-
Hehe, I've no idea what a 'TFC Hercules and a Maketoys Yellow Giant' are. My son is the transformers fan in the family, not me and he only likes Gen 1. But yes, quite a few shops here do sell 3rd party TF toys. Graham
-
Great detective work Renato. Mystery solved. Although why that shop has it is another mystery. I may have to ask them how much thay want for it. Graham
-
Anybody knows what this is? Saw it in a toy shop window today. Seems to be some sort of display item, possibly with light and sound (unsure). It looks like the two halves may swing open. For what purpose, I don't know though. Graham
