    I'll wait for the final judgment on the controller until I had the change to try one out. Maybe Valve has something incredible new up their selves. You know the things that look like notebook touchpads could be some new technology that are forming a 3d stick out of thin air like the HMIs in the new Superman movie. All I can say is that I can't aim in shooter games with a controller even if my life depends on it. Maybe this will be a game changer maybe not. I cannot tell from an image.

    The VF-25G has such a nice shade of blue.

    I'm not saying it not possible but unlikely. Probably depending on how well the first one is selling. I love the Skywarp-esque black and purple scheme and would prefer to have this in my collection over another white plane with black and red accents. Especially since I don't have any emotional attachment to the Leon character and just want a cool looking Valkyrie. I say it again: Bandai I would buy the one with the purple accents. In fact I would buy any purple colored Valkyrie.

    The sad part is no announcement of the Tornado Parts for the Renewals.

    I don't know if Bandai will release more variants from the game. Heck we don't even know if this is a web exclusive or not (or do we?). As far as I know Macross 30 didn't sell that much units. Neither Leon nor the YF-30 appeared in the show or the movies. I'm amazed to see Bandai releasing the YF-30 after all, I'm not taking any changes on this one since the stock YF-30 might be all we get. Much like the YF-29 Ozma custom the black/gray and purple YF-30 looks great and I wouldn't mind getting a second one.

    There is a video from MW member Anubis on YT where he describes how to tighten the shoulder joints on the YF-29. A similar technique could achieve the same for the hips. Anubis tried another fix for the VF-25 hips where he put a small piece of rubber between the ball and its cup. I asked him a while ago how this is holding up and it seems to work ok for him. To get to the hip joints of the VF-25 Renewals you have to unscrew the screw on the back of the die-cast intakes. A word of caution some small pieces might drop out so be careful not to lose them.

    Are you still keeping your preorder now that you know you have already this toy?

    I have a top floor flat which has small chambers on each side where the skewness of the roof framework meets the wall. This makes the rooms a bit smaller but the walls higher and I have enough room for the boxes of my small toy collection. I'm curious how many more boxes can fit in there. I guess I'm kinda lucky in that regards.

    The fighter mode is beautiful.

    I'm excited for this release because it will be my first VF-1 V2. I don't know where to display it but I'm excited. Hope they do Max and Kakizaki as well. Need a complete Skull Squadron.

    Also you have to ask the late Yamato because they released the toy with that color scheme. I really dig the Bandai Monster. I wish they would reissue it.
  12. Scyla
    I think Battroid looks only good in certain angles. In the CAD pictures we saw earlier it has very strange proportions when viewed directly from the side. It looks like the letter "H". That said you don't have to display it so you can see it from the side. I certainly won't.

    I transformed my VF-25A. The joints are great. I wish the finish was that good on the YF-29 and VF-25F to G. So a Ozma Custom reissue has the potential to be an awesome toy. I'm a little sad that I already have an VF-25S,
  14. Scyla
    That is not strange. Some people like legs others the chest. There is no right and wrong what is appealing on a wo... *cough* I mean a Valkyrie!

    It can stay attached to the mount in all three modes and transformation. Kawamori showed it in the Lego model transformation. But the Chronos can theoretical equip different weapon bay layouts (i.e. stuff like the beam gun or dare I say a giant speaker pod ). If it is detachable the Bandai might sell different layouts as an add-on set because the YF-30 doesn't has a Super Parts. On the other hand it might be beneficial if it can detach nevertheless. Even if the piece is very lightweight I might be more comfortable to take it off during transformation because the leverage of this piece alone might stress the joints when dangling around in a way that make them break. Which leads us to.... I hope it is not. the weapon bay sits at an angle where any die-cast content might wear the joints down. I hope it is as lightweight as possible. It would be nice if the mount of the weapon bay can be locked into place with a support strut (like the back of the Renewal VF-25s) so that it takes weight away from the joints. In this image it looks like the missile hatches can open to reveal missiles which is pretty cool It also looks like it has all the markings from the game. They where missing in the CAD images. Can someone read the sign in front of the toy? It looks awesome from that angle. The wings don't look that bad but I would really wish that Kawamori made the tail fins to slide up. On the other hand maybe the Battroid-Mode loses all maneuverability if the tail fins have now room to move.

    That is some awesome information. Thanks a lot! I may check out the Exia or the Quan[T] if I like the 00 Raiser (or the Nu Gundam because I like the color scheme, also the Sazabi looks cool, so I might ask questions like whats the difference between a Nu and a High Nu Gundam ). I was just wondering why all the MG kits at hlj look like the same basic Mobile Suite.
  17. Scyla
    I have a short question. Can someone of the Gundam aficionados explain me in short sentences what the deal is with the Gundam 00. There is the Raiser and the Seven Sword, the Exia (Trans-Am/ Repair) and the Quan[T]. They all look similar to me and from the images on the Internet there should be three other colored and different looking Gundams in the team so I assume the blue/white/red Gundams are all the same. I'm trying to build a MG 00 Raiser and was kinda curious what this is and why all MGs from 00 look the same. From the Wikipedia synopsis I cannot figure out this so a few sentences why the different blue Gundams are would be nice. I'm no Gundam fan besides the design of the Mobile Suits so don't hate me for my ignorance.

    I like my black Rodimus even with the broken knee joint.... maybe because of its price tag. On the other hand this mold and the MP-01B where my first Masterpiece TFs and I was fairly disappointed in the quality after handling some of Bandais collector stuff (namely the Renewal VF-25s).
  19. Scyla
    I'm backing them also. Hopefully with all the extra money that comes around they will include Crash, AD Police and the 2040 reboot (I know it is crap and Silia doesn't look hot anymore but I kinda dig Priss). This will be the first anime I bought in a looooooooooong time but BGC was my first love and I'd love to see Double Vision in full hd.

    If you haven't received an invoice yet, you can just send them a mail they probably do not send you a confirmation mail but you should see it when you log in. If you have received an invoice then I assume you should pray to your gods in heaven! This is my latest knowledge so the first assumption might not be correct if they changed their ToS recently.

    What, never seen a pirate Gundam with a crossbow? OT: Still no images? Boo!!!
  22. Scyla
    I think he talks about the breaking shoulder issue of the early V2 releases.
  23. Scyla
    Thanks MJ. I just want to add the stickers that are in the line art. I don't have a VF-1 sticker sheet yet so the kites will do.
  24. Scyla
    I recently ordered the Super Parts for the VF-17 and since my boxes are all deep down in the storage I'd like to ask a question to someone who has the sticker sheet handy or knows this by heart: Doest the sticker sheet has stickers for the gray arrows on the shoulder parts? Here you have a reference picture from the Macross Mecha Manual. It is the one near the slide out guns. Also does someone has some images from the show which show markings on the leg parts? Thanks in advance.
