  1. While it appears they've left a spot to attach the packs to I'm not aware of Bandai ever mentioning that they exist.
  2. December was last I ever heard.
  3. I just might wind up with two of these, one for Jet and another for Battroid.
  4. If it makes you feel any better I still feel like the nose is too needle-like in fighter mode. However, that seems to only be the case from certain specific angles.
  5. Those are likely not the colors.
  6. You must have missed the entire original discussion we had about the VF-4. It had zero underside slant in the first CAD images. Now it does actually have one. Yamato doesn't base their designs on other stylistic interpretations. They base them on the Line art proper. As such, the nose is a little too needle-like right now for many people.
  7. This is very interesting. I'd love to see more Gerwalk angles as the rare instances we've ever seen this thing you really never get to see Gerwalk. Are you planning to use this as a model in a game? It appears to be slightly lower poly. At the very least the textures are a little lower res.
  8. I don't know, if I can keep Yamato afloat by buying up all of these VF-1 variants I'm hoping they'll squeeze as many lesser known Valks in between these releases as is possible.
  9. What do you mean by stylized?
  10. Actually, he chose to de-emphasize the Valks. Which is at least mildly different.
  11. It's cool and I'd get one but now that other VF-1's, at the same price, are getting side covers why not release all of them with them? I could see if they only produce them during certain times they may only have a giant pile of TV colored white versions to pack in so specialized schemes like the Cavalier could possibly be skipped (though that sucks) but there's no justification if they're already stamping white one's out for the 1S Roy and 1J Hikaru why they shouldn't toss a pair in with this one as well.
  12. Or at least ask for copies of the pictures other people take so they can reveal them with better focus.
  13. I just wanted to know who I could get a copy of the death certificate from...
  14. It could stand to be less blurry.
  15. For the most part he was brutish, clumsy, over confident and could barely keep his head above water. In both movies he had small moments, because he has some of what Bond becomes which is why M took a chance on him, but he's absolutely green and doesn't have his footing in either films yet.
  16. I've only accidentally double-dipped once, and that's because I couldn't return a broken 1S TV Roy I purchased for a friend so I had to buy a third and since I already had the Valk around I relatively fixed it so now I've got two Roys. I'm not rebuying something unless it's broken... oh wait, I own three 11C's. They got me!
  17. You say right in your review that Bond Films are fantasy. I took that to mean like the original Connery Films oward. How does Casino Royale, which was conceived to be more like the books then the old campy films, fit into that paradigm while Quantum doesn't? Also: "But it's not Bond. Bond is the opposite. He's cool. In control. Knows where he's been, what he's doing, and where he's going." Daniel Craig was not cool, in control or had a clue where he was going in Casino Royale, it was his very first mission, and this movie picks up right after that so why would any of that have changed in the twenty minute gap between the credit roll of Casino and the opening of Quantum?
  18. Well, it highlights why it wasn't a Sean Connery Bond Film. If you wanted that, you didn't like this one. I expected it to be like a Daniel Craig Bond film and I got that in spades.
  19. This happens in a lot of engineering fields more often then you might think. There's always improvements/refinements to be made. Things that couldn't work because of time/budget/etc... but sound great can easily be sold as features for newer models. That doesn't mean the previous idea was bad, and indeed it could still have been an excellent idea and execution, but that doesn't mean new insight/more time won't yield better results in the future.
  20. Everyone keeps telling me Quantum wasn't good but nobody can articulate to me why it wasn't. I had no problem with it.
  21. I'm no mechanical engineer. None of my ideas for Fast Packs for the 19 have panned out either. I'm interested to see how this 11 mod works out.
  22. Wow, how thick is it? Like I said, I had a similar idea for the VF-19 but the edges on the wings are so thin that they would be damaged if something clipped on to the edges. I'm assuming you're using the ridge farther in on the 11. Not something easily done on the 19. I was considering something connecting more towards the root but that's not super stable the farther out you go on the wings.
  23. I'm betting somewhere around 26,900 or $340 US. The S alone was roughly $300, I'm willing to bet the extra packs will add somewhere between $20 to $40 to the price.
  24. Interesting post by MyClone. Some people only want different/variant colors or non-mainline colors. I guess we're the freaks of the world man!
