    I have one question. Why does the gray plastic looks always terrible on HasTaks Transformers? MP-11 and MP-08 from Takara have this terrible swirly plastic and the one on this Hasbro Grimlock looks terribly cheap and translucent. It could be the lighting but is it difficult to cast a good locking gray toy?

    You should have commissioned a custom Karaoke Ninja paint job.

    So after skimming through all the images I have to say the only TF4 toy that does anything for me is this metallic Grimlock. The Jetfire toy looks pretty cool I wonder if they release a black repaint in Japan as they did with the Classics Jetfire toy. I'm still curious about the back of the bot. Am I the only one that thinks that Prime/Convoy has to have a faceplate?

    Thank you for the clarification.

    Oh it was much better experience than watching the dubed Macross 2 OVA. I just love the VF-2 Valkyries even if they where not designed by Kawamori and I like the female squad around Sylvie Gena. I've listened to the latest Macross Speaker Podcast a while ago but didn't you guys mentioned that Kawamori himself said that Macross 2 is now official "canon"? Does this fact and the release of this Blu-Ray box set indicate that Macross 2 will become more recognized in Japan... ..ultimately leading to Arcadia releasing a VF-2SS Valkyire II SAP? The SAP System would offer so much play value.

    Hm never seen Clash of the Bionoids but DYRL was ok. Please don't kill me.

    Hm the bottom of the plane looks cleaner than I would've expected. I'm interested in knowing if the back of the robot-mode is made out of aircraft kibble. Oh I'm looking through the images over at TFW and I don't like anything I've seen until now. I will look through the rest of the images maybe I find something interesting. The toys on the images Twoducks posted look ok but all the TF4 stuff I've seen looks terrible. At least to me. [edit:] The Construct Bot Grimlock looks kinda cool. Or what ever this is. It says Roughtneck Dino

    From what I've seen of the other designs that passed the first stage I think that the Valkyrie would offer the most play value (I'm not biased at all! ).

    I've only seen Macross 2 with the terrible English dub. Do you think I will enjoy Macross 2 more with no subtitles at all and a Japanese voice track given that I don't understand any Japanese?

    Arcadia should make toys for this show. I would buy a pose able Bill Willcox with shiny die-cast armor in a heart beat.

    The most Renewal Valkyries I see on ebay are above or around the $250 mark and it really is only the VF-25F that are being sold for a lower price. Keep in mind that Altos ride is the only one where Bandai released a reissues so there are much more units around. Mandarake has some of the VF-25F for MSRB. So my guess it that the people try to sell off additional units that they got during the Renewal craze. I think most of them could be scalpers that couldn't get rid of their stock. Maybe the market is finally cooling down to a more normal level. However with the preorder madness of the YF-29 Ozma Custom in mind I guess it will take a while until the we get to normal preorder periods with the Renewal stuff. In general I think the market was extremely overheated and is not going back to normal but a wise man once said to never discuss economics over the Internet so I leave it at that and dust off my Renewal collection.

    The leg parts that fold into half and store on the wings look great. Maybe HasTak should take notes next time they design a airborne Transformer.

    If I remember correctly in jenius' review there the right leg pack was not pegged in properly. [edit:] You can see the slots on the wings on this image: This is from Veefs review of the VF-17S over at collectiondx (http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2011/vf17s_diamond_force_color)

    Since this thread is already delicious off topic I want to add that Lego has to reissue the huge Millenium Falcon Set that is in scale with the mini figs. The prices on e-bay and the amazon market place are just too damn high *insert meme here*.

    There is a slot in the wing that can mount a peg in the Fast Pack. On mine it pegs in well and it helps to keep the legs attached to the backpack because it applies pressure to the peg. The legs are secure enough so I can swoosh around with it.

    I thought Bandai would only announce new items at their own events like the Tamashii Nations stuff or the Gunpla Expo.
  17. Scyla
    Maybe because no one cares for Macross Zero. Or because it's easier to design a Valkyrie to look screen accurate when it is based on a existing 3D-Model. No one knows! *du dudu du dudu*

    You could check a few video review for the VF-19 line from guys here on the board like jenius (http://www.anymoon.com) or veef (http://www.collectiondx.com). I think you will have an pretty good idea what to expect from the new YF-19 after you saw those. The hips seem to be pretty different on the YF-19 but the rest seems kinda similar.

    Does Benny has a cracked helmet in the Spaceship set?
  20. Scyla
    Looks like a VF-25 to me. I assume the 5k Yen item is the weapon set for the Messiahs.
  21. Scyla
    Wait they used actual bricks?
  22. Scyla
    I envy you! Maybe for the next Wonder Festival Arcadia will offer a VF-1 costume to go with the Gunpod. You know something like this:
  23. Scyla
    So now that the CAD is out can we tell that there will be a easy conversion into a VF-0S/A? Personally I would be more interested in the reissues from Arcadia instead of the VF-0. No news about a VF-1S Max or VF-1A Kakizaki or the Super/Strike-Packs?

    I like to have a collection that tells a complete story. My M7 collection is missing a VF-11C and Milias VF-1J with the black highlights. Then I have a complete collection. My Macross Frontier colleciton is missing the YF-30. And so on and so on. SDF:M and DYRL are easy because the only have one Valkyrie.

    Everytime I see images of a robot that transforms into an aircraft that doesn't show the underside of the plane I get highly suspicious. The robot mode shows nothing from the top and/or the front of the plane so I have to assume that it will look like the TFC not Silverbolt. So do they call this Skyfire or Jetfire? I guess I wait for the Fans Toys images.I would love to have a Masterpiece Skyfire as he looked in the cartoon.
