  1. Other then being the primary vehicle did everyone complaining about "too much Wolverine" not notice that except for a tiny bit of dialog almost the entire trailer is interaction between Xavier and Magnus? Wolverine might be in it but so far what they've shown is a lot of Magneto/Professor X interaction driving the story, as it should be.
  2. My point is that they so closely resemble each other in fighter form and paint scheme that it's easy to confuse the YF-30 for being a "Frontier Valk."
  3. Nah, I'm not. We have some pretty successful people on this message board. At least, I'm hoping there aren't a lot of people willing to go into debt for them. All I ask for are some fleet photos.
  4. The 11, 17, 19 and 21/22 don't seem to back that statement up as they're all quite different from each other. Plus we know from the design books Kawamori is not above raiding/re-purposing his own designs for later use. I'm still willing to bet Kawamori liked the fighter design for the 24 but it wasn't in keeping with the VF-1 motif so he changed it to the 25 for production of the show. When they needed something new for Macross 30 he dusted off that 24 design, changed a bit of the transformation and that was it. It still looks an awful lot like that fighter mode.
  5. I already said there were some differences in transformation, that doesn't change the fact fighter mode looks a TON like the YF-24 and I have no doubt the YF-30 began life as Kawamori playing around with a different way to make the 24 transform.
  6. Hmm, you might've sold me. I like some of those angles you took. How well do the arms move/pose in Gerwalk?
  7. None that we've seen or know of yet. There weren't any featured in the game, so as far as we know it doesn't. I still wish someone would have taken a shot from lower so we could see if the hard points are still on this thing.
  8. There are blue Fold Crystals that will end up in the chest area in battroid.
  9. I still thing with some minor adjustments the wings from the 30 could have folded against the back.
  10. Waiting for a price drop is why Arcadia is no longer mass-producing these things.
  11. While Kawamori made a great attempt to change the transformation of the YF-30 to be different from the 25 have you compared the lineart from the YF-24 to the YF-30? Other than moving the stabilizers out and back he pretty much re-purposed the YF-24 fighter mode as they look practically identical. The paint scheme so closely aping Alto's doesn't make a case for it not being Frontier either.
  12. I'm very impressed with the number of YF-19's some of you have pre-ordered.
  13. I was looking around online for more photos from this event. It doesn't seem like anybody else knows, or cares, about the Macross stuff on display.
  14. Dull blue? Those scans have a tint to them. The Valk is a dark Charcoal Grey.
  15. Take pics of your squad when they arrive.
  16. Yeah, I was thinking back to the 171 issue too. But then I'd be in for three, I kind of wish I'd gone for three Alto's instead of that broken CF. Hopefully this new, untested, mold will be more reliable.
  17. Well, if they decide to make a 0S or 0A the only thing stopping them from mixing and matching the different parts for the 0B and 0C is sales projections.
  18. Err, didn't they already announce they were going to reissue the Tornado Parts along with a third Alto release next year?
  19. I'm going to be a complete ass, I hope both of your budgets are SCREWED. I want this thing now.
  20. I wonder if they'll make any other variants of the YF-30? Tking has brought up an issue of mine (and a silly issue it is, really.) I like to have three of everything to pose in each mode. I don't know if I should jump at three of these or wait to see.
  21. Surprisingly, I am more anxious for this release then any other they've done before.
  22. Did anybody happen to get a look at the underside of the wings to see if they still have the hard points on it?
  23. Yup, looks like that thing is about ready to go at any time.
  24. So did you miss the part when the Transformers guy came in here and started bashing Macross first?
