  1. That was hardly a love triangle and definitely not brilliant. Though amusing.
  2. But the 19P is actually a Hero Valk with significant screen time. And it's not ugly and red.
  3. Good deal, that thing is a hell of a lot of fun to pose.
  4. Farscape is one of my favorite shows ever though, IMO you SHOULD NOT watch the final made for TV movie finale. If you ask me the final scene of the regular series is how things should have stayed.Al Also, they have the most brilliant love triangle ever conceived.
  5. It's a good green color though.
  6. I've already got two that don't seem likely. I'd rather not add a third.
  7. How likely is it at this point Nippon Yasan can even fill them?

    WTF iShop2go!!

    If it makes you guys feel any better I've pre-ordered several Yamato Valks through them and they've always delivered. The problem is Bandai's limited runs. ishop2go shouldn't be taking as many pre-orders as they are but it's not like they don't come through on other things. It's all centered around this Bandai, low-production run bullshit.
  9. I would greatly appreciate if you could help out with that Chrono. My bed time is 9 pm mountain and I pretty much miss all of the pre-order stuff. The 29 I'm not concerned with but the 171 is totally up in the air now.
  10. Hmm, interesting. I love my blue valks but that particular color isn't doing it for me like I thought it would. I might be broken.
  11. Oh, I see. I think the M3 version is horrible looking personally.
  12. The Gerwalk on that thing would look a lot cooler then the VF-4's. Though it's Battroid is impossibly chunky for a fighter that slim.
  13. You mean the enemy variety?
  14. Really? The 4 showed up in the Manga? I don't remember reading about that.
  15. Yeah, I don't understand the problem with the landing gear color. They're all pretty much the same colors internally.
  16. Bad Sci-Fi movies? Wing Commander. We went and saw it for a friend's birthday when I was in high school. His Mom paid for us all. I felt like I should have paid her back when we left the theater. I remember it was so dumb there was a part where the capitol ships were hunting each other and they set low to the ground, shut off all the power and were shushing each other and trying to keep quiet to avoid the sonar from the other ship.

    WTF iShop2go!!

    I get the feeling I'm going to get boned on my 171 pre-order now. The other stuff I've ordered from them has turned out okay though.
  18. I guess since the VF-4 was never prominent and all of the enemy Mechs in Mac 7 already look like the SR-71 I never put two-and-two together either.
  19. I'm wondering if I'll get either of my orders. I could only grab them at iShop2Go and BBTS... neither are having great track records with this Bandai BS. Really, I think the biggest problem with all of this is that Bandai doesn't care and monetarily doesn't have to care. Yamato are dealing in the classics, they know there's a world wide audience and that their bottom line depends on as many fans as possible getting their hands on it. Bandai is huge. They have huge divisions. They have huge properties outside of Japan that bring them money. Macross is relatively niche in Japan, and cannot be exported. They can make enough to satisfy the Japanese and not care. So for this, the other renewals and the 29 they probably don't even pay attention to the people outside Japan because legally and monetarily it makes no sense for them to.
  20. Considering the forearms are smaller then the 17 and tapered at the end I'd assume this was the only possibly way to make the thing transform. The 17 had a plate you had to pop off in order to make the hands pop up but these forearms don't leave any room for hands. It was pretty much a necessity because the design was nearly impossible to implement.
  21. Look at that bottom pic of them swapping out the hands. Somebody told me that I was wrong and the arms opened up so the hands could be folded out. I feel vindicated because I never saw the "hinges" they talked about.
  22. That's a lot more then a repaint. If it even has a Battroid mode it won't have arms and barely shoulders.
  23. These were posted awhile back. Pretty big difference.
  24. In addition, it also holds much better when the Fast Packs are attached. The old Crotch system would tend to sag. The new one holds much better.
