  1. Actually, I have both new re-releases (late July 2010) of the TV Max and Cannon Fodder 1A, and they have the new hip lock mechanism and lack the rainbow coating. I just checked out Hobby Search, and it's a very helpful tool, but the information given isn't necessarily complete. For instance, it shows the Hikaru VF-1J w/ Armor Parts having the rainbow coated canopy, while the one I ordered from AmiAmi in early June is lacking the coating, and has the new hip lock mechanism. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33184&st=0 Speaking of Hobby Search, though, has anyone checked out the price they were offering for the Max and Kakizaki DYRL VF-1A w/ Super and Strike Parts? Even though they're currently sold out, that is STUPID cheap! Too bad I didn't swoop up on that...I'm gonna have to keep an eye on them.
  2. I'm curious as to which 1/60 Yamato's have been released with the new hip lock mechanism and canopy that's lacking the rainbow coating. I'm not particularly a fan of the rainbow coating, and I'd like to avoid getting any of the older versions if possible. As far as I know, these are the 1/60's that have been released with the upgrades: Hikaru VF-1J (w/ or w/o Armor Parts) Max TV VF-1A Kakizaki TV VF-1A Mass Production TV VF-1A Roy TV VF-1S (w/ or w/o Super Parts) Max DYRL VF-1A (w or w/o Super and Strike Parts) Kakizaki DYRL VF-1A (w or w/o Super and Strike Parts) If you know of any that I missed, please post it here.
  3. This is a little off topic, but does anyone know if Yamato plans to re-release the 1/60 Hikaru VF-1A with Super and Strike Parts? What about the Hikaru and Max VF-1S with Super and Strike Parts? I'd like to start up my DYRL collection, but I want the new canopy and hip lock mechanism, and the S&S standalone parts are so hard to come by.
  4. Sweet, keep us posted on that!
  5. Yeah, it'd be nice if they came up with some light and heavy missile pods that could snap in place of the AA cannons. Who knows, though. It was supposed to come with a pilot, and it looks as if they dropped that idea too. Luckily I had the chance to pick up a T-Rex Zentradi soldier from the last WonderFest. Has anyone had a chance to assemble and paint their Zent. Soldier yet?
  6. Thanks for the info and clarification, Tober.

    Latest custom.

    Yay, I finally get to see her in person tomorrow after the UPS guy comes!
  8. It looks like HLJ has stopped taking preorders for the Regult. I hope everyone who wanted it got their orders in.
  9. Please do. I just placed a preorder with HLJ a couple hours ago, but I'd really like to know what they have to say about it being a "complete action toy" with "no assembly required". Did anyone else preorder thru HLJ yet?
  10. It also says that it's a "complete action toy" with "no assembly required"... Really???
  11. I concur.
  12. PM EXO, Kicker.

    Viva la Minmay Guard!!!
  14. Thanks Kicker! It feels great to finally be part of the squad. I must have done something right in the past because I've been one lucky guy. The cool thing is, it's only half the story, but more on that in the future. I can't take any credit though. It all goes to Kurt. He's one amazing customizer, and a heck of a nice guy to boot. That goes double for Anasazi (Devin). His decals are AMAZING!
  15. Not if we've been waiting for a Regult this size since...let's see...FOREVER! I'm kinda glad it's a little large, to be honest. That means it'll look good next to my 1/60's and my 1/48's.
  16. Say it ain't so...
  17. Anybody read Japanese???

  19. hehehe =)
  20. Wow, I'm loving the detail. This is gonna be one sweet Glaug.

    What a thing of beauty...you've outdone yourself once again, Kurt. Bravo!
  22. Yeah, and at least there isn't a terribly large number of markings either. Now if I could just get ahold of Joseph at Tokyo Hunter...
  23. Yeah, I was wondering that myself. I asked a similar question on the last Regult thread just before it got shut down. I never got an answer, unfortunately.
  24. That's what I'm sayin'...
  25. Well, rumors were that it was supposed to come with a Yamato version of the T-Rex Zentradi soldier, but as far as I can tell (and that's not much since I can't read Japanese) it doesn't mention anything about it in the previous link. As far as the scale goes, it looks a little large to be 1/60 scale, but we've been over this before. I was just looking for a confirmation of the scale somewhere on the Yamato site. Either way, I'm hoping to pick one up.
