    I'm curious why Kicker and Mommar got so vastly different answers from amiami.... For the ones who have the bird in hand. Does the plastic feel similar to the plastic of the old Yamato Valkries or the new Arcadia VF-1? I can understand why it would feel different than the VF-19 because the Excalibur has a different finish. I think someone on the board explained that matte and glossy plastic are the same the only difference is the finish of the molds they're cast in.

    Give as a release date already. Including information abound web exclusive weapon packs so we can switch out the missile pod against something more reminiscent of a BFG and conformal missiles for the hard points the toy has.

    The green VF-27 Beta was a web exclusive release of the V1 VF-27 without modified hips. IIRC it came with the Frontier fold dildo and a sticker sheet as an extra.

    Good work. jenius on the board is the guy behind anymoon.com and Scorched Earth Toys if you want to add him to the Video of the YF-29. He also did a transformation video for the Yamato SDF-1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdvWN71h7LU) and the Quarter from Macross Frontier (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxjGLJWDF4Y) that are very good. Also if you are locking for transformation and dress-up videos of the V1 VF-25 toys peaugh did them way back when. If your try to offer some kind of Valkyrie Transformation Database I guess you have to have them (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4URnUSCMfQQ) I personally prefer different reviews for the same toy done by different people. It gives me a good idea what to expect when I buy stuff. So I think it is a good idea to include several sources for each Valkyrie if someone has information on the transformation that another reviewer missed. But this is your thread so keep up the good work.

    I'm playing Secret of Evermore on my SNES at the moment. I had a hard time getting into the gameplay at first and I think I died several times on my way to Fireeyes village. However in the end I managed to (barely) kill the Raptors and receive my free Moos Vest. Stopped after the first boss and now it is time to do some swamp huntin'.

    I would buy a fusia colored VF-25 with yellow ribbons. Might even sell my VF-25S for it.

    Well that sucks. They should offered you at least a full refund if you send it back to them so you could order another unit. HLJ had them in stock the last time I checked their website. I hope you two get it sorted out somehow. I will have to send HLJ an email that they check my YF-19 when they ship it. I'm sure even if you glue it together the seam line will be visible no matter what. Kickers YF-19 looks even worse. I cannot imagine what happened that would tear the tip of the wing completely off.

    Some of the older CollectionDX transformation videos where done by JoshB (mainly the Macross Plus reviews) and Atom (the older VF-1 reviews and the SV-51 Nora one). I don't know if you want to add this information into the links.

    Excellent. I have to check it out. Is this a regular episode or are you only discussion the announcement of a new Macross tv-series? Regardless I really enjoy your podcast. Keep up the good work!
  10. Scyla
    For sure.

    So the chest just sits on the wing roots like the old YF-19? No tabs on the inside of the wing roots to lock the torso in place like on Yamatos VF-19? Really?

    It depends on the way they implement the clown hands. My Arcadia VF-1 fix-posed hands hold the gun-pod with a death grip to a point where I fear breakage when inserting or removing the gun-pod from them. Scream man that Gerwalk-Mode pose looks fine. Is it possible that you post an image of the side view of this pose? I would be interested how far forward you can bring the lower legs. Ideally would be a side by side comparison with the old 1/60 YF-19 from Yamato.

    I'm not to keen onthe idea of a reboot because then it is highly unlikely that Kawamori will design new Valkyries for it. A Macross the First style reboot would probably lead to the usage of VF-1 Valkyries by the U.N.Spacy. I know the mecha part of Macross F is probably the most uninteresting feature of Frontier for the most fans but it is the selling point for me. I would love to see a new generation of Variable Fighters for the new show.

    I wholeheartedly agree with the opening bags part. The perforated bags is pure nostalgia. Since I built three new Lego sets after a 15 year hiatus I also don't like the numbering of the begs and dividing them into sub assemblies. If there will be any new ToR sets this year (Ebon Hawk Ebon Hawk) I will probably just open all the bags and mix them together for more fun.

    Would you say it is possible to swoosh around with the YF-19 without having the wings dislodging form their position in normal flight mode (i.e. not the high speed mode)? It is disappointing to hear that they don't lock into place or at least have a firm resting position especially since I had no need for the high speed mode to begin with. I always thought it would be a nice feature if they could implement it properly. Your description sounds to me that they halfassed it. If so that is really a bummer. Oh well I have the VF-19S to swoosh around with but the glossy paint job and the bright colors make me look really childish when flying it through the room. With the YF-19 I would look like an Air Force pilot planning strategic maneuvers.

    In my experience NY can take quite a while until they ship your order. They are similar to HLJ. Sometimes they're fast sometimes they're not. Plus I don't think that they proceed orders during the weekend. [edit: ] Oh yeah, my copy is payed and sits in my PW where it will be for some times so I'm looking forward to see reviews and transformation guides soon.

    I would like a series that is based around the adventures of the retired crew of the Monster from M7. As a mid season highlight they could upgrade to a Koenig Monster and visit hot springs all on different planets. That would be awesome. If I can't have that I would go for a AKB48 inspired show (like AKB0048). Something like idol singers and Valkyrie pilots team up Candidate for Goddess style to fight.... hm what should they fight? I know each other in a crazy race to determine who is the best singer/pilot in the known Universe. That could lead to cameos of other famous pilot/musicians like Ray and Veffidas. All this should be rendered in a cute art style and be called SMF:Macross (SMF stands for Super Moe Fortress) What would not be so great is a series about a badass female fighter pilot that is involved into crazy dog-fights in space and on the surface of a planet with a rock soundtrack and transforming capital ships that punch each other. That would be kinda boring.

    Saw a review of the fist Warbot-Ron arm and I have to say I'm bored by seeing the same leg transformation/elbow joint over and over again. The standard extend the legs and use the hips as elbow just looks terrible with all the gabs. Hopefully the Feral Rex arms turn out to be better with their elbow joint. The colors are nice though. I dig the brown and violet mix especially the light piped eyes.

    Why are there burly army guys in this trailer? I know nothing Michael Bay does will make my like this movie. But Humvees? Really? *sigh*

    Haha . As I said all the figures with non human heads look good (see also Garrus Vakraian). But I guess I'm beating a dead horse here.
  21. Scyla
    I guess he looks good because you you can't see his face.

    The Scoria review makes in look really cool. The leg transformation is great. However I still don't understand, why the made the toy that huge. Are Fanstoys planning to to an interpretation on Grimlock to be in scale with Scoria? For me this is hard to believe. I think that would cross a line for HasTak given how popular MP-08 is. Personally I would've preferred if Scoria was in scale with MP Grimlock and came with a new hand, sword and blaster for MP-08 instead of the plateau shoes. Maybe I have the budget someday for this one.

    But he does not transform. Not that I'm considering buying it but it looks a bit to busy with all the panel lines. I received the zombie version of TFP FE Cliffjumper and I love it. The shoulders are terrible stiff and I wish the retailer had the regular version in stock but it is one great Transformer.

    Damn you Bandai. Not only do you make previous versions obsolete but also the same toy because you not able to produce a toy without any flaws the first time around! *shakes fist in anger*
  25. Scyla
    Don't play with my emotions Bandai. Where is the announcement for the YF-30?!?!?!?!?!?
