  1. Nice pic.... So the only "VF" variants that Yamato did not get to were the VF-9 and VF-14???......they even gave us a VB just to prove how hard-core they were!!! Dang...we were so close.....
  2. heheh....top of the dryer is always my photo studio!!! It is huge...I think only a Yamato SDF-1 in attacker mode might stand taller.....I actually have the SDF-1 on display....maybe I can snap a pic with the two later....
  3. Should have toned down the size of the bridge and kept it more like the SD SDF-1 TV's bridge.....maybe the designer was distracted by the recent Bandai 1/72's bulbous noggin...
  4. maybe the new style helmets belong to the "New Republic" forces...with the old imperial forces stuck with the older designs? Or maybe just new environment helmets not seen before? But after 30 years...I would expect some kind of design change for either side....and toy sales!
  5. Lots of actors in Mad Max films get hired to portray other characters across all Mad max films.....kinda lends itself with that whole concept of different people "retelling" the same stories....characters getting mixed-up or placed into different events where they may have existed or not based on who is telling the story.....kinda cool actually looking forward to this Mad Max movie....
  6. Potential new Stormtrooper helmet? http://www.starwars7news.com/2014/08/are-these-the-new-star-wars-episode-7-stormtroopers.html So, if true, does that mean the Empire did not "fall" or is there some civil war going on for the past 30 years?
  7. Very few showed up for sale on YJA....I'm guessing the resellers opted for the YF-19 T-REX parts.....the mini-SDF-1 may turn into a Macross collecting legend....unless Arcadia makes more or does a general release.... http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w105699980 http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u67802521 http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d155278740 http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d155278740 http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m123423018
  8. Why?.....you think it'll be worth more if you don't?
  9. Perhaps the fear or realization of pinkish bright white TV VF-1Js will encourage even greater prices on 30th VF-1Js?
  10. Sheesh....you guys all need to get a hold of some manly pants!
  11. http://variety.com/2014/biz/news/significant-star-wars-presence-planned-for-disney-theme-parks-1201276296/ Best quote from the article.... When asked if Disney was looking to broker new licensing deals with other franchise owners for attractions the way it did with James Cameron’s “Avatar,” Iger dismissed the notion, citing properties owned by Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm, “We don’t have to license from third parties,” he said. “We own them all.” An all-Star Wars devoted section at the Disney Parks would mean a mandatory pilgrimage for many fans for generations to come.........arguably the best franchise purchase ever.
  12. Depending on the card used to pre-pay...you may be able to dispute the charge, some cards have longer dispute periods. I think paypal gives only 45 days to dispute. Nice way to try and guarantee sales of your product.....customer either goes with the new higher price or he/she loses everything.
  13. You know deep down inside your collection is incomplete without issue 81!!!
  14. At $500 it'd be a tough sell....at that point people may as well hunt down a Yamato version....
  15. looking at these two pics: The T-Rex version looks like it was inspired by the Tenjin illustration more so than the actual CGI model seen on film.... The T-Rex set looks like the super packs were specifically redesigned to "fit" the YF-19....the set seen on Isamu's YF-19 on film...looks like Isamu threatened his poor ground crew to "slap on" a set of VF-25 SP and make them work or else!!! Kurisama, maybe go for the "film" look to distinguish your version? Dunno.....either way you do it would be greatly appreciated by many a MWer I'm sure!!! I'll look through my books and see if I can find anything that may help you out....
