    So just more poor aping of the past?
  2. Mommar
    Thanks. It was the addition of the Real Grade that started to confuse me I guess. Since it's a new grade with the same scale as HG.

    I've been interested in Gundam stuff for awhile but I'm confused about what sizes all of these RG's, HG's, MG's etc... are. I have some old Gundam Wing kits that were 1/144 High Grade, I think, and my brother preferred Master Grade which was 1/100. I have no idea where any of these different models and rankings fall in with one another now.

    That whole wing prop up black thing for Gerwalk mode makes no sense either. I mean, yeah, it needs support. Like I said before, Kawamori didn't take physics into account at all. But why the giant, crazy black contraption? A small, thin, metal rod painted white that fits between the two boosters connected to the wing roots, spaced ever so slightly wider then the actual wing joints would mean the entirety of the weight would be supported by the very strong metal rod and would eliminate all of that other stupid. Plus Gerwalk would still be poseable then.

    I'm a bit concerned putting these on now. If they're that heavy they're likely to stress/break the wing joints.
  6. Mommar
    So part of this is Kawamori's fault for completely ignoring physics when it comes to all of these weird add-ons, but really, Bandai, you already made a V1 25 with these same parts. Between now and then you couldn't come up with a better solution? It's not like these parts are new and were sprung on you after designing the V2 25.

    When are the G parts scheduled to be shipped? End of next month?

    I don't know, I don't think Graham as ever admitted to having contacts at Arcadia.

    Oh, straight from Sketchley's Macross Chronicle translations. Tried-and-true VF-1. "SW-XAII Schneegans* The SW-XAII is an air defence fighter aircraft developed based on a remodelled latter period VF-1 model originating in the "SWX", just like the SW-XAI. As its development was delayed more than the XAI, its engines and avionics are stronger ones than those in the XAI." http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRgoods/05ValkyriesAppearInPubAndGam.php

    I like the Metal Siren's Gerwalk and Battroid modes okay. Fighter mode is awful. And the stinger is just stupid looking. If Arcadia made the Mac 7 Plus version of the VF-14 I'd buy at least four of them. If they made the video game versions I wouldn't buy a single one. That's one of Kawamori's worst official designs in my book. However, I would buy the Varuta iterations. I still badly want a 1/3000 SDFM SDF-1. I saw Exo posted some pics of one of the smaller capitol ships made by some other vendor and I'd love a whole set of something like that too. Hell, make them Micro Machine sized or something like that. They don't transform anyway.

    YF-21 WIP

    Mommar replied to 3D-Brainx's topic in Fan Works

    This is pretty much the best YF-21 model ever.
  13. Mommar
    Given Bandai's YF-30 push I'm not expecting anything "new." I suppose there could be some other new Valks but I am expecting the YF-30 to feature, I can't imagine Bandai committing to a valk that was only in a video game.
  14. Mommar
    Personally I want that Red and Black scheme. Battroid mode looks like a modern Milia VF-1J.
  15. Mommar
    yeah, look at their track record for the YF-29 already. Alto scheme, Roy Scheme, Isamu Scheme, Ozma Scheme. Basically all they are missing is a Basara Scheme. I'd bet an Ozma style scheme is eminent.
  16. Mommar
    Yeti has a point, if there's the slightest inclination you might want to use the packs you pretty much have to buy them at release or else you're SOL after that.
  17. Mommar
    Based on the stand alone this seems like a pretty half-assed release.
  18. Mommar
    Totally makes sense why Arcadia would be releasing the Fire Valk in September now, doesn't it?
  19. Mommar
    Ooooooo, somebody did the maf!
  20. Mommar
    Looks like they figured out if the arm pieces are all diecast with plastic attached to the outside they won't randomly disintegrate like the old version.
  21. Mommar
    Actually, looking at the pics from the movie and the T-Rex parts it pretty clear they aren't like the movie. They're like the Tenjin cover. The reason YF-29 thinks they look stubby is specifically because that slit on the side doesn't come forward as far on the T-Rex parts (or the Tenjin cover art) as in the movie.
  22. Mommar
    Actually, only Bandai produces Frontier toys. They're in 1/60 scale so they roughly match the Yamato/Arcadia valks. Avoid all of the Version 1's as they're terrible. I think Jenius has a portion of his website that lists the differences between the V1's and Renewals and now to identify them. Typically the box should have a lot of white on them. Not terribly useful. lol Anyway, I own all of the 25 Variants released to date. If you're an Alto fan they have the renewal for sale at Nippon-Yasan right now: http://www.nippon-yasan.com/macross/4884-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25f-messiah-valkyrie-saotome-alto-custom-renewal-version-reissue.html Honestly, I think the two best Valks are the Cannon Fodder 25A and the YF-25 Prophecy. They're beautiful in all three modes, but I know many people like to buy vehicles based on the character piloting it. It's too bad the G is so hard to find as that's my third pick. Unfortunately all of the Super/Armor parts have been Tamashii Webshop exclusives and they don't re-release those so you're stuck buying on the secondary market and you'll pay through the nose too. It turns out the Alto Tornado Parts will be released starting this Saturday so you might be able to grab one of those after release if somebody cancels a pre-order. But you'll have to jump immediately. You'll definitely hear what I think about the 30, for sure. Even though I'm set to be disappointed I'll try to be as fair as I can. I've actually been planning to try a few different fixes for the floppiness issue that may arise in Battroid as well.

    Didn't read the article? Tony Stark.
  24. Mommar
    Looks pretty damn good to me.

    I'm thinking what everybody else is, if you want Arcadia to see it reply to Mr K's twitter photo with that pic. Let me ask you, how similar in color were you thinking it should be in relation to the images in the Master File book (I know, not cannon.) Because after flipping through it the blue looks more like the blue they have on the 0C on pages 14 and 15 of the Master File book. In the photo David posted, I know it's dark, but it appears to be a bit of a desaturated blue-grey.
