  1. I know some of us have been thinking this is bad. I'm wondering, this idea must have been floating around the office for at least a little while. Mr. K already mentioned his wish list for Valks to keep making. Maybe it was just hyperbole, or really just a wish list, but you would think that if they weren't going to have the Macross license anymore he might have just declined to comment on what else he'd like to make.
  2. Actually, I disagree that the 30th Anniversary Fokker (or any of them) are definitive precisely because the canopies aren't tinted. I love the way my older V2's look with the tinted canopies and I don't have a single one with cracking going on. The newer V2's without the tinted canopies look more toy-like and less cool IMO.
  3. Why is that a bad thing. Yamato responded to them that they're attempting to make parts but they need time to produce them. Seems like a decent response overall.
  4. Honestly my least favorite part of the 171 is that the those little chest covers that fold up in Gerwalk/Fighter will launch off of the thing whenever I transform it back into said Gerwalk/Fighter modes. I've watched multiple transformation video's and everything. The tolerance is too tight for me to handle. I just pop them off before transforming now and keep them in a plastic bag when not in Battroid.
  5. It helps when opening the landing gear bay actually.
  6. So the wings fall off... pop the pins first man. Pretty easy to overcome. The arms needing adjusting is slightly tricky but after a few transformations you get the feel.
  7. That might be fun. I'd like to try it in 3D though (as I seem to be the only person to fully use it all the time.)
  8. There is in the PC version. I imagine the 360 version would be the same as well.
  9. I don't understand, what's the main problem(s) you have with transforming it?
  10. Don't forget they also have the updated crotch locking mechanism as well.
  11. Yeah, you're right. Lack of sleep. My other points still hold up though.
  12. Yes, but technically the D survived that battle. It was in Generations that it actually was destroyed. Don't forget the original Enterprise (from Enterprise) survived too. That's 4 to three. The A was technically a refitted decommissioned USS York, and all through ST6 they kept putting off contacting Starfleet by claiming there were things wrong with the ship preventing communication or warp speed that actually weren't true. Really the A worked fine, other than a few smoldering holes in the saucer section by the end, and it was all of the lies and misbehavior (and the fact Starfleet was upgrading the fleet and the Constitution Classes were OLD) that finally got it canned. Yes, in 5 it was buggy (and it's not as bad as movie as people claim.) Other than a big hole in the side of the lower hull the B was able to keep flying, not really that bad in the grand scheme of things. While the E got trashed she kept flying. That's all that counts. If you want to talk about all of the times an Enterprise wasn't shot up in the movies though, there's Star Trek The Motion Picture and Star Trek V. If you've got the budget (and STV had the lowest of any Star Trek Movie) why not show a couple of lumbering vehicles slugging it out?
  13. Over the course of Ten Star Trek movies they've only destroyed two Enterprise, 1071 and D. Granted, the last time they blew one up was way back in Generations so they're due.
  14. Sorry Man, I haven't had time to take pictures of toys recently.
  15. I like my Brutish Battroid look. Though I'm lucky enough to have two so I keep on in Fighter and one in Battroid. I wish I had a third so I could complete the three modes. Here's hoping for a variant or two.
  16. Tough call, there's so many variants in so many scales. It would be hard to recommend because people often think of Hikaru in so many different lights. I personally think of him as flying the 1J. But that's because I love SDFM so much and really don't care for DYRL at all. He was in his 1J the longest and the 1S was Roy's as far as I'm concerned. Others disagree. I suppose it's a good thing nobody can agree, that means there's some change/progression in the stories so none of us have to settle on just one. Probably there's somebody around who says get the 1D because that's Hikaru's first taste flying a Valkyrie and is his true representation as well.

    Macross 30

    I really want to try this game out but I really don't want to buy a Sony product.
  18. What happens when you collect them all? Do we win the lottery or something?
  19. In my personal opinion, no. I own a 17S a 17D and two VF-4's. The VF-4's are far better engineered and rare to boot.
  20. I usually keep one of those really short, thin flat screwdrivers around that I can fit into tight spaces to pry those hatches up as close to their bases as possible so I'm not putting pressure on an edge that's too far out. You still have to be careful though.
  21. Oh, did you try to open the cockpit after transforming back to Fighter mode? If I want to do something with the pilot in fighter mode I always completely lift up and then flip the chest plate first for fear of breaking the cockpit. I guess I don't understand what part of the landing gear cover broke. Do you mean that front part? It's super tight and I never try opening it unless I've already opened the two side hatches first.
  22. Wow, that guy is decal-ed up! Even the sliding plate on the back of the calf!.
  23. Thanks for the video Graham. Personally I'm happy no kites were tampo'd as I don't like the few official markings and much prefer my own low-vis versions instead. At first I thought I wouldn't like a Milia 17S but depending on the shade of red I could be convinced. I do love the screen grabs of the "teal" version. I'd grab a dual seater Sound Force version if they made one too.
