Alright who's going to rez them or summon their souls from the realm of the dead so we can torture them into doing the VF-11 (and all the other ones) by promising not to let their souls rest until they finish doing our bidding. Well, this gives me one more reason not to go to Asahiya or Kinokuniya.

Greatest cannon fodder pilot? The Q-rau pilot that scored the hits that killed Roy Focker. She was the greatest cannon fodder pilot the series has ever known!

If anyone knows, Graham would know, but Yamato has him silenced as to what's coming up. As of right now, no VF-0D is planned as far as we know.

One of the other things I love about the VAT-127 scheme is that the nose is one uniform color. I hate when the nose-cone-ish area is different from the rest of the valkyrie, like on the Low Vis v2 (black nose-cone area). Also love that camo, it's not uniform, but very distinctive.

Well with doing a VF-0D from a 0A/S: -resculpted nose to accommodate the lengthened cockpit -new internally lengthened heatshield. -new legs with fins on the front hip, foldable canard wings on the back hip, and vertical stabilizers on the lower legs that can fold to the inner parts of the leg. -new stabilizer-less backpack -new wings with delicate hinge tips. -new head. So it's not as much of a design problem as going from the YF-19/VF-19A to a VF-19F/S/kai/P. I don't know how much it would cost to do these changes. I certainly wouldn't buy one, unless the shoulder issue has been properly fixed and proven over time that it's really been taken care of.

Now that VF-4 is the sexiest VF-4 I've ever seen. In fact it's one of the sexiest valks I've ever seen. Hot damn, I need a VF-4 in that scheme if Yamato makes the VF-4. Hell, I'll learn to repaint things just to have one of those! Nice work Mr March!

Yeah, the legs on the megahouse tachikoma are a bit loose/weak. For the hind legs I have them set at a particular angle so they support the cockpit area and hold it up. If yours has legs that are looser than on my tachikoma I feel for you. I just posed it and left it. Beautiful tachikoma though!

Repaints with all the diecast the 1/60 YF-19 has, and 1/48 VF-1 has. Confirmed by Sumdumgai, Yeah!

The differences between the VF-14 (M7+) and the Fz-109 are like the differences between the various incarnations of the VF-19. Same basic features, very different details, but recognizably the same species of animal, if not the same breed.

Congrats, Scream Man! The Pope Shion is cool because you can swap his head with Surplice Aries Shion and vice versa. You can have Evil Pope Shion, and friendly looking Surplice Shion.

That is correct there were bootlegs released for version 1. Kawaii Anime over by Pasadena City College has a set of bootleg series 1 figures. They are easily spotted as bootlegs, as the bootleg process made the sculpt suck and the paint application is terrible. I don't know how to tell the difference between the boxes as I have not seen the bootleg versions boxed.

Depending on the version, I either loved King or didn't use her. The invincibility she had at the beginning of her one super, where she does a flip-kick then leaps to connect, was awesome. Too bad that got neutered in Capcom vs SNK, that game was so harsh on the SNK side. Rock Howard is awesome too. The best of Terry and Geese in one person.

Just for nostalgia's sake. Will a Joon's count? I figure takatokus do.

Well they don't sell outside of Japan likely due to the whole licensing issue because of Harmony Gold. The rest of the world outside of Japan is not an "official" market that Yamato can sell Macross stuff to.

yeah, POM. Because the pvc blade will become brittle, due to the contact with the ABS handguard. After a while of carrying, the force of pulling the blade from its sheath will cause the sword to break at the handguard, leaving you... "unarmed". Hahahahahahha... ehh... I'm going to go sit in a corner now for that bad joke.

Thanks for the add-ons SaveRobotech! I knew I forgot something. The Minmay glow in the dark secret Minmay figure from the Minmay collection looks a little bit different than the normal version in that set, in that the paint is a bit different. I saw it in person once, and the difference in color isn't really large in the light. She has the same sculpt as the Minmay in DYRL first concert dress in the Minmay collection: Long free hair, "softer" looking skin, hands down, and a softer expression on her face than the series 3 figure. Correct, the Minmay collection has 6 normal figures, and a 7th secret figure. If you're looking for series 3 figures, and you live in the US, check out tmpanime.com (twin moons). Tam had some individual figures still available for sale. It probably won't be worth it if you live out of the US, due to shipping (stupid USPS and no more international cheap shipping), unless you absolutely can't find those figures elsewhere.

Whoa. That's one hell of a collection and display!

Over where I am, the air is all dry and hot from the fires and my eyes are really irritated. Today the sunlight was coming in as a yellow color, due to all the stuff in the air. I live some distance from Malibu and San Diego, but man if you live in this area of So Cal, you're seeing and feeling the effects of all that fire. I can smell stuff burning in the air. Good luck to all of you that's in those areas.

There were two YF-21 prototypes built. YF-21 Prototype n#1- demonstration model with conventional controls and normal canopy. No BCS, no BDS. YF-21 Prototype n#2- the one seen in the anime with all the bells, whistles, and morphy wings.

Series one had: Hikaru DYRL pilot, saluting Minmay DYRL, DYRL song costume reaching out Mao Nome, lifting/holding down her dress Mylene Jenius, with guitar Ishtar, all floaty in the air like Secret: Minmay doll Convention Exclusive: DYRL Minmay final concert dress, clenching hand into fist DYRL greenish DYRL pilot suit Hikaru, no alternate hairpiece Series 2: Roy Focker DYRL pilot Basara Nekki, with guitar Sara Nome, in stupid pose, figure leans too much Minmay at desk with doll Misa Hayase DYRL Secret: Hikaru cut-away cockpit series 3: Isamu Dyson, flying the 19 with hand pose (no helmet) Max Jenius DYRL zentran pilot outfit, non-removeable helmet Flower Girl Shammy, with chair Minmay DYRL, first concert dress Cut-away Roy Focker cockpit Secret: Max Jenius DYRL pilot, removeable helmet, alternate bangs with glasses, rarer than the other secrets Minmay collection: Reissue Minmay DYRL DYRL song dress, reaching out (not sure if touched up at all) reissued alternate color Minmay Doll reissued touched-up Minmay at desk reissued resculpted Minmay DYRL first concert dress Minmay in red dress with red beret Sculpture picture of Minmay and Hikaru Secret: Glow in the dark dress of first DYRL concert Minmay

Awesome. Sonic F**kin Boom!

Yeah, it's going to suck if that's the case. Are there any American made fighting games that are good? No, I don't consider Mortal Kombat to be good. Although fatalities were fun until it got old.

The possible reasons Graham probably can't tell us 99% of everything yet are because: -not everything is finalized -some things may be on the working board but Yamato doesn't want to announce yet in case they scrap it (1/60 Monster). -if we found out the whole list of what's to come 2008, we wouldn't have to chew our fingernails off in anticipation. -people in Japan would complain that us foreigners get first dibs on info before the Japanese customers who are the ones that are officially getting these Macross toys. -the people at Yamato are sadists, and are torturing poor Graham by giving him all this info and keeping the Yamato ninjas constantly around Graham making sure he can't give any of the juicy tidbits away.

Wow, I thought it was a model or something at first!

Now that's interesting news. Very interesting news. Thank you Graham for the info that you can give us. Already knowing that 2008 is going to be a fantastic year is... well... Fantastic! (my bank account hurts already).
