  1. yes that is true either way im sure sets will pop up on the 2nd hand market pretty much like everything else..
  2. And the fact its not due out till the end of August so im in no hurry. Unless the pre-order allotment fills out before hand. Although I think the VF-31 Super Parts are still available so I guess that won't be an issue..
  3. oh and the Lildrakens are very cool! I love how they have their own undercarriage! so cute! I'll definitely be ordering a set but after I have made payment for the 262..
  4. well ain't dat purdy! me will have!
  5. sorry guys another non Macross purchase arrived today.. AUTOart Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo. Absolutely gorgeous! Has to be seen up close to be truly appreciated! My jaw is still dragging around the place!
  6. I actually remember watching this coverage back in the day! 1989 to be exact.. good to see this youtube channel posted this up! Be sure to check out their channel as they have have a load of great stuff to watch!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    most likely yes.. but it wasn't quite as heavy as what he has painted on this 31.

    I'd love a Isamu custom! This is cool but I think they went a little overboard with the blue canopy coloring.. kinda one extreme to another from the cloudy gold to this dark blue. Definitely doesn't work and kinda ruins the whole look.
  9. LOL! I saw the very same situation occur right in front of me just after xmas! A young male (provisional) driver who clearly thought he was god's gift to the road attempted the very same maneuver only to be spotted by a (high visibility) highway patrol car and immediately pulled over not far down the road! it was hilarious!

    hehe! nahh my son is extremely good with toys and wouldn't ever mess around with my Valks! In fact everyone I know who has seen my collection knows to look with their eyes and not with their hands! LOL!
  12. oh so its a composite (plastic) model! given the size of the in real life it would make the model pretty bloody heavy if made in the traditional die-cast so its no wonder they went with the plastic. Cheaper too, though not that those savings in manufacturing will trickle down to the buyer at all.. Not that its a problem as im fine with the plastic but as long as its made to the same or better quality. But this one is still on the sidelines for me as im not a big fan of it, or Mercs / AMG in general.
  13. Nice! so what is that AMG six wheeler like? I have ummed and ahhed about one of these things for a while but im still rather conflicted about it. It looks like a cool model to have but im not the greatest fan of the actual car. I do like to pickup odd ball or different cars and this would be that.
  14. I also have models of all the other Enterprise ships but have no plans of getting this one.. I love them all but my all time fav is the Constitution refit ships 1701 & 1701-A.
  15. nice one! well done! cool but im not so sure about the futuristic design vision they chose for this ship.. looks a bit to radical for my liking. I remember reading somewhere that the saucer section would have most likely eventually been designed out of future ships but this ship proves the complete opposite!
  16. RIP John Surtees. John passed away today at the age of 83 and certainly before his time. A true motor racing legend and the only man to win both the Formula One and World Motorcycle championships.
  17. Indeed it is. I absolutely love it! I would like a P1 but I think I'll wait for Autoart to release their P1 GTR which I much prefer. Unless I stumble across a P1 at a cheap price.. Thanks Noel!
  18. I'd love to get one but I already have a list of cars on my wishlist (including a non-Bond version of the GT2000) which I have to work through before I would get one.. meanwhile.. this arrived today!

    yikes! I think you guys would hear the explosion of me blowing up in extreme rage and furious anger if some kid played and broke one of my Valks! LOL!
  20. what's Robotech!? yes yes im kidding! that joke is old I know.. but anyways yeah I'd probably buy this! purely for the pictorial content of course.
