Granted if Graham doesn't ask, then they're not going to say anything to him.

Guess we would be getting the Gundam movies all over again then. Something for the Attention Deficit Disorder-crowd to watch. Then we would hear complaints that 25 episodes is too long.

I've always consider the beam gun adapter to be like a rifle-grenade attachment. The VF-17's gunpod fires bullets in it's normal mode. Ejecting the magazine gives the beam-gun attachment something to attach to as well as attaches the FCS to something. It also clears the breach of any bullets so you can't really shoot the gatling gun side. The beam gun attachment has the e-cap and barrel assembly which you slap over the gunpod and then you shoot. Much like a M1 Garand rifle grenade attachment where you added a rifle grenade attachment, inserted a blank round in the the rifle's breach, loaded the grenade in the barrel attachment and then fired.

They may only release the Alto VF-25F and that would be it. Don't expect a wide range of 1/48s. At most only 2 versions. Add-ons may not even come. They sell more 1/100 or 1/72 model kits (basically the smaller and mid-range kits) than they do the large ones. This is why we have hundreds of 1/100 NG/MG and 1/144 HG Gunpla kits.

Alto-ver will include the sniper rifle. That's about it from the looks of it. Both will have reaction missiles.

Don't forget the press-on nails...Jeebus...keeps those fingers away from me.

They may do a Super parts add-on ala Aile Strike Gundam. But that may be dependent on how well the kit sells. Keep in mind these guys and not just the PGs: http://dalong.net/review/seed/s60_1/s60_1_p.htm http://dalong.net/review/seed/s60_2/s60_2_p.htm http://dalong.net/review/seed/s60_3/s60_3_p.htm http://dalong.net/review/seed/s60_4/s60_4_p.htm http://dalong.net/review/seed/le1/le1_p.htm http://dalong.net/review/00/0601/0601_p.htm

Chances are that the B&W lineart was a Bandai work based on Kawamori's drawings and probably the CG models. I haven't seen them being reproduced anywhere outside the hobby magazines. The look of it reminds me of BEE-Craft and Katoki's drawings for various Gunpla as well as the Gundam 00 model sketches for the 1/100 models.

You sure about that? The body language is saying join up but the face is telling me to run and hide cuz they won't pay me enough to take this crap.

Looks like Alto definitely. Maybe Ozma. Large-scale models get a lower number of releases than smaller models. We may not even see Super parts for these guys.

They've had the prototype for a while now.

At that price range, you'll be looking at a Nvidia 9400 GT-based or Nvidia 9500 GT-based card. On the ATi front, you'll be looking at Radeon 3450, 3650, 3850, 4550, 4650, or a 4670.

Visual Studio? I think that's a bit of too much overkill over Dreamweaver. Its strong suit is for programming in C/C++, Visual Basic, Java, Python, C#, SQL, etc.. It can do all that including web coding in HTML/XHTML, XML-based stuff, JavaScript, CSS and more. Visual Studio is an all-in-one programming suite. Dreamweaver is a more web-centric development tool.

Don't worry, they're setting themselves up to be let down later. If it's not a PG-style kit, we can say "we told you".

At least it's just HP and not an industry-wide recall like the one from a couple of years back.

Deep Discount DVD has it the collection DVD set at the cheapest for $27.19, free shipping.

I won't be so quick to call it a PG unit since it's still a prototype. And Bandai does make large, non-PG models like this one: http://dalong.net/review/seed/le1/le1_p.htm

It depends on Customs and the US postal service in the area and when they get the mail from the airplane. Customs is usually fairly quick about processing parcels. Once you see the "Inbound of of Customs", that usually means it's cleared Customs. After that, you are at the mercy of the US Postal service.

I'm splitting the talk from the 1/72 thread. Drool about it in here.

Normally when we see the grey resin, that's a indicator that it's a prototype.

Glad I waited on Exia. Now I can waste my money on MG Exia.

Ya never know. They may bring out a VF-171 later.

IIRC, early texts describe the SP-55X as "conventional ammunition". It was only later that they gave this "conventional ammunition" a designation, namely "SP-55X". And those text (one of the early issues of the Chronicle) describes the sniper rifle as a gun that uses gunpowder/propellant and electromagnetic rails to accelerate the round/bullet/projectile. So it sounded more like a hybrid weapon than a "true" rail gun. Later texts haven't bothered to repeat the wording. Now the Chronicle's VF-25G article may clear it up but until then: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=737188 Edit: Correction, they have repeated it in the 1/72 kit manual. It describes the SP-55X using gunpowder/propellant and then gets a boost from the rails. And everything I've seen calls it a "SSL-9B Dragunov Anti-Armor Sniper Rifle", not "SSL-9B Dragunov Electromagnetic Rail Anti-Armor Sniper Rifle".

About time. Are we done yet? Which ship? So we get to know about the motorcycles and cars; lovely. In that order. Lovely. No seriously, are we done yet cuz I'm gonna start b*tching about this like the VF-1? Good god that's a lot of people. Time for M+. Listen to my song!

The shirt-thing is a automatic -10 in geek-cred, IMO.
