  1. I kinda wish I had known Yamato was postponing the other releases otherwise I might have ordered an Ozma. However, I'm not interested in the armor. I really don't care for the Fast pack or Amored look on the Fronteir Valks.
  2. Speaking of releases. Does this mean that super packs for the 17 will be held until later this year as well?
  3. I don't recall Graham saying this. He said it wasn't because of something Bandai was releasing.
  4. So can you give us a hint what it is? We have to wait almost a whole year for the 17D and 19F? It's not because of the VF4? Is this hold up Mac7 related still?
  5. I've been considering taking up 3D modelling to recreate something just like that.
  6. No, it's the cannons next to the cockpit/in the chest. Put a dab of glue and they stick just fine. It's just an oddity they come off. I'm sure they're all held on by friction and a few of us are unlucky enough the plastic pieces are a little bit too large. It's a minor gripe detail, but surprising given the attention to all of the other engineering on these things.
  7. Well, no, I'm not starving and covered in flies.... however when anyone, anywhere pays for something they'd like some guarantee of craftsmanship.
  8. It's minor. Much easier to fix. But I am going to point out at a premium price I expect premium results and things like little loose cannon bits are sloppy.
  9. It's one of those things, when you're spending several hundred dollars on a toy every little thing helps. Something as simple as those cannons falling off seems pretty sloppy. Though it sounds like it's only happened to two of us so far.
  10. My cannons are loose just like this too. Not bad for $300 huh?
  11. The less gimmicks the cheaper it will be. And here's a thought... it's a VF-4 toy ACTUALLY being made. That's pretty much the ENTIRE gimmick.
  12. They sound like a bag of chips being manipulated.
  13. Here's a pic I took of my 17 and 19 back to back. My display really needs some lighting.
  14. The man's got a point. If you're going to go obscure, go all out with it. On the other hand they really are just the VF-25 FAST packs.
  15. That Valk really seems to lend itself well to a lot of different special paint schemes.
  16. I still don't understand the loose shield comments on this thing. I have three 11C's and none of them have loose shields. I must have traded in some luck on these things in exchange for crappy 19S ankles or something.
  17. That is a pretty awesome scheme. But it won't happen, not from Yamato anyway. You could probably rather easily (provided you have painting skills) make yours look like that though.
  18. I was about to say, none of this has anything to do with the VF-17, which is awesome looking in Battroid by-the-way.
  19. I don't understand how that happened? They slide back into the arm. Any transformation you do requires you slide them back into the arm.
  20. Who are you referring to exactly?
  21. I wish they'd do this with all of the fighters. Though with wings that slim I'm not sure where they would find the room for them.
  22. Oh, one other issue. Not like it's a hard one to fix but something that seems pretty easy to get right. The two gun barrels that are mounted next to the Cockpit in F/G and in the chest in Battroid just flat out fell off. They just barely hold on. Dabbing a bit of glue fixes this easy but... it's kind of an easy thing to get right and there's no reason why a $300 toy wouldn't have them attached tight to begin with.
  23. If you pop them out you do get more lateral movement. With them set in you get pretty much none. So often times for wider stances they will be popped out. However, it comes at the cost of being less stable. It's not going to cause the toy to fall over but it's a real pain when you're trying to adjust the leg and instead the hip just shifts forward and back a little. Actually, that was the exact same problem you could have with the VF1 prior to fixing the crotch lock.
