    i think gozilla looked best when he was a rubber suit...the most popular showa era one (the one where he fights mothra) is the best. second i think is the completley over the top godzilla 2000 one with giant spikes. this new one...not a fan of the fat neck tiny feet design but i'll see the movie and pretty pumped for it.

    yeah i'm going to pick up the redeco/diaclone magnus colors one supposedly due out in may. If they don't do a G1 toy blue recolor i'll probably pick up the original deco release at some point as well. Stack's proportions while too lean and tall (and absolutely too tall as well) are MUCH MUCH better than MP-22's. I'm still going to get an MP-22 or 2 but I prefer STack's robot mode unless mp-22 changes.

    eh those little figures are viewable inside the cockpit. its pretty awesome ( i have the 1D) and thought it was super cool that they included a minmay. that being said a stand is nice too but i'm using my vf-1 stands for the yf-19 because its stable and large and the vf-1 doesn't needs such a behemoth. as far as reissues...despite having max/mirria already, i want a another set...the VT-1 would be my second wish since i don't have one. also some fast packs both dyrl and tv would be nice.

    seriously? i have a red beta from around a few months after the release date. going by memory, all the joints are tight as good. nice and clicky etc.

    meh i have a feeling this will be SOOO available later one. i'm not worried...thena gain i am seriously reconsidering if i ever like it enough to warrant a purchase.

    fatzilla. i mean great improvement from 98 but why'd they make him look like he has a fat ass neck or goitre

    thanks for the links guys. once again even with international shipping the JP shops are still WAY cheaper than american retailers...and those american retailers actually priced near MSRP (though they quoted that higher too) for once too instead of marking way up.

    i thought they were doing a remake before i clicked. classic movie. haven't seen it in 15-20 years or so though. lol

    lots of interesting discussion in here. i'm finding out that we all (as fans) seem to view macross and its sequels, prequels etc. with different eyes. we interpret things as we want to it seems, which maybe is part of the genius of it. anyway, my preference right now is for this to take off in an all new direction. as macross ages, so do its creators and fans. we've grown up, we've adapted and the same is true of new fans. Adolescent fans or tweens that were sucked into macross through frontier....they are now grown men attending university for the first time maybe. it's been 6 years. anyway as we change, maybe macross will change to, not in a way that makes it wholly different in terms of abandoning common themes but perhaps in the type of story told or the way its told. While I enjoyed frontier, i'm ready for something all new....to be honest i wouldn't mind if they made an all new timeline/alternate reality and rebooted or told a completely unrelated story. give us something recognizable as macross but shock us with originality. i just want great mecha designs and animation, and a good story that is about humanity. I was never in it much for the music but sure....give it some nice tunes.

    if they did a V2, i'd get it...especially if they went for the SDFM version (kurisama did some very nice upgrades btw to convert dyrl to sdfm). give it some more articulation, better balance (it needs heavier legs with the upper body so massive the weight distribution is off), and some nicer detailing. i mean i tin kthe old one still loks pretty good but thye could do better...IF and it sa big if they thought the demand was there to justify the business case. the q-rau is one of my favorite techno organic looking mech designs. i hope it happens but i'm not holding my breath. i mean bandai never even made a dx chogokin for the frontier line Q-Rare (a very similar design) so...

    it looks like they wanted to use mp-10 then gave up at the knees. the thighs are very clearly still MP-10 but anything south of that isn't. also where is the translation from that say sits not mp-10? i hope there its wrong, i want a white prime with armor. then again looking at the trailer...MP 10's lower legs woudln't fit under there. i do truly hope ther ei sa bonus feature not beign shown and left a sa suprise...that there is a whit eprime in there...just lsightly different.
  12. Mechapilot77
    yup but at least it works well with teh YF-19...i'm hesitatnt to put the 19 on a smaller stand.
  13. Mechapilot77
    why should grimlock or Sludge they be any more costly than scoria? i think they are shooting for $200 across the board (by the time the american retailers sell it which I suspect is more like $145 or so in China) which i think is why they are giving us a stand and an extra set of chromed wings for Soar (adding perceived added value/content to justify price). Then again i could see grimlock being a touch more since they could likely get away with it becasue... grimlock.
  14. Mechapilot77
    looking great!
  15. Mechapilot77
    yes!! it'd have to be a bigger scale than 1/60 though, those things were small. also a bioroid (or whatever they are supposed to be called) with a hoverboard to swuare off against too. southern cross was kind of the crappiest show of the 3 but i did like the mecha and they never got the modern premium treatment.

    gerwalk mode is cool. it does look a bit forced on some valks though, just to have one. vf-1 gerwalk is classic. by extension the vf-0 also looks cool because its mostly the same basic shape the sv-51 has an awesome gerwalk mode (if only the otoy werne't so floppy) the vf-25 and the vf-11 have good ones too. the other valks....i don't care about gerwalk as much.

    gojira means gorilla whale...gorilla has ears. that being said he does resemble a reptile primarily even if the inspiration was two mammals.
  18. Mechapilot77
    vague post but, consider me...interested. very. can you tell us about how long we're gonna be waiting for into? haha
  19. Mechapilot77
    so i've been pushing for clear stands and voted that way, but it occurs to me that the o-rings will be highly visible unless you use an almost translucent rubber. very few "stock" standard o-rings come in that colors though. anyway, just something to keep in mind. also i have a feeling skullmilita is right on the tooling cost. make sure you get multiple qoutes.

    zero is an awkward juxaposition of some somewhat realistic mecha dogfights and some hocus pocus fantasy magic stuff....the latter shows up quite prominently in the story. most people wanted it to continue on and be sort of a more "grown up" mecha series. also it didn't help tha tthere are only 4 episodes and it took a LONG time between each episode before we saw the next. that being said i still like zero a lot.
  21. Mechapilot77
    so the tightness is controlled by compressive force of the oring by screwing the bolt into the nut? good idea and if the o-rings are a standard size an economical one as well. i like these stands quite a bit. i would however prefer a clear arms though.
  22. Mechapilot77
    can't see a game only valk being that high in demand though i've been known to be wrong....not preordering. i'll wait until it drops in price like the VF-25A did. then again i'm not super into this one...if i was i guess i'd preorder
  23. Mechapilot77
    that actually looks pretty good. makes sense if rockets can mount on the front too. very G1. side mount was popular later on. i wonder if he can pull some decent poses off. the alt mode truck is a little garish with the chrome bars over the grill but its a solid alt mode. its a shame that using this design, the size that accommodates mp cars in the trailer makes him so dam tall. would love to see this in some actin poses.

    i had a jetfire when i was 8 or so i think....perfectly appropriate age. although i think you could go a couple years younger.
  25. Mechapilot77
    hmm, while what you say makes sense i'm not sure i'm convinced. the counterpoint - we only ever really got one "real" superion. While i liked superion as a kid (and i assume he is the most popular autobot combiner being the first), the TFC version was just a little too off for me to like enough to actually get. Warbo's bruticus, so far as clearing that bar but barely. It is a little bit of FOMO (fear of missing out), but with the large minimum order qty's i'm not sure that its a valid concern. the market might quite l flooded with them after release. also whiles its the first REAL bruticus, i do think companies are wary of character fatigue. I mean There have been at least two different upgrade sets to th hastak's FOC bruticus which makes him acceptable to a certain portion of that potential market. Either way, i hope you are right, becuase i think warbo is good....but not THAT good (just like my nearly $600 hercules sitting on the shelf that in today's world...i would have never bought....and warbo's clearly looks better than herc). IMO it can always get MORE G1 inspired. Personally, i think the size is kind of ok...but woudln't gurt to got a bit smaller (like herc or rex sized) to more neatly fit into a "chug" display or larger to go into a more MP centric one. BTW The other menasor....is warbo's, no? i also can't wait to see what a new group will do with defensor.
