    Has the live action movie released yet? I'd be interested in seeing it just for the sh!ts and giggles!

    Considering how big a hole that car made in the fence im surprised it didn't actually go all the way through it and plow straight into the crowd! If it did then we would have had a repeat of the 1955 Le Mans disaster all over again! Scary stuff! To be honest there needs to be a back up fence behind the main fence as a precaution to just this sort of thing..

    beautiful shots Gundam! You certainly managed to bring out the best of a VF-171! looks fantastic!

    looks great Derex! very nicely done! I wish I had the courage to do this to one of my Valks! sadly I don't.. im just too scared to try it!

    yep absolutely! collecting is dangerous.. especially for your wallet! or your bank account.. and your sanity!

    yeah the way its displayed on the box art is not possible. If you do look very closely at that area you can see that the tab has been cut or colored over. I'd say they just didn't like how the ugly tab was visible for the box art and corrected it. Also in the main picture on the box the upper fuselage gapping is almost impossibly tight! More image trickery going on there also! Out of all the photos I have seen of this toy and from my own experience with the ones I bought, not matter how much I tried I couldn't get the panel gaps anywhere near as close. I guess they do this for the shop shelf impression value.. if it doesn't look so good on the outside then the buyer ain't gonna want whats on the inside!

    Even though I'd most likely never collect any of the super hero figures but those are mighty impressive! Their facial sculpting is amazing! Looks so accurate! The Batman figure could almost pass as an actual photo of Michael Keaton all suited up!

    I'd say he pulled up, honked the horn once or not at all whilst not getting out of his truck. Then when you didn't show he popped the notice in your mailbox and bailed. I feel your pain as I have had quiet a few troubles with the postal delivery guys. Actually the problems are still ongoing. Even had this old guy who would ditch his run and go home for the day if it started raining or even hint of a possible storm.. I don't know how he got away with that as I did a bit of fill in delivery runs years ago and I had to fulfill the deliveries come rain hail or flood.. I live in a semi rural area which is very quiet and would instruct them or write notes to either leave stuff on the inner side of the fence or drop it at the front door. Some would and others wouldn't. They were just too lazy. The guy who runs our local post office is old and grumpy and even if you had a delivery note he would sometimes turn you away saying he was too busy to get your parcel from out the back or come back the next day. Proved to be a very frustrating situation. Even after multiple complaints from many of the locals to Australia Post about him not much has changed and he's still a jerk.

    That looks superb! In reality im sure they would have expreimented with mixed load outs depending on mission requirements. But yeah this looks pretty legit! Nice work! Either that or you have very feminine looking hands! LOL! joking!

    Loving the color scheme! Hope my 2 ship soon! Sorta looks both a mix of matte and glossy finishes.. Still I think it looks great! Compared to Bandai's latest new molds (19 & 30) the 29's are kinda looking old school already. Hopefully this is the last color variant they release. I don't think we need another. If they do then its them just milking the mold purely for quick cash grabs. Not cool Bandai, not cool. I'd say Bandai cut a few (cost) corners with the stand and that's why a SMS base got packed in with it.. Either that or its a mistake. Any non SMS base from another Frontier valk will do if you have one you're not using. I won't be using the stand anyways.

    Fantastic photos Gundam! Especially loving the hanger scene! Lights really set it off!
  13. spanner
    then im expecting shipping notice from CDJ any day then! fingers crossed!
  14. spanner
    yes indeed they would have to be cheap which goes without saying.. in the order of around $10 each max. And include Misa (Lisa) of course.. And maybe even the Captain! and possibly another variant of Minmay.
  15. spanner
    im happy if Bandai gives a VF-1 a go though.. Awesome fight scene!
  16. spanner
    excellent!
  17. spanner
    Box looks beautiful! Can't wait to get this thing! Easily the best looking of the bunch! So is it still on course for a tomorrow release!? or is it later towards the end of the month.. ?
  18. spanner
    Gundam galore!!! that is a beautiful setup you have there! Impressive stuff! Thanks for sharing your toy collecting world!
  19. spanner
    Bandai needs to have a go at 1/60 Destroids.. I reckon a Cheyenne would be friggin sweet! With freely spinning rotary cannon barrels! Would be hot stuff!
  20. spanner
    geez! stop giving Arcadia ideas towards building a v3! that scares the hell out of me!
  21. spanner
    seeing how handy you are with your 3D printer I thought it would be possible to print up a replacement mechanism for the wing joint.. Of course I don't know how elaborate the part actually is and whether or not its possible to print something like that..

    Advice Needed

    spanner replied to Kyp Durron's topic in Toys

    Both are great Valks and the 25 is a very cool thing especially Ozma's which is in my mind the pick of the Messiah bunch but personally I would be getting the VF-19 Advance. Its a fresh newly designed and technically more advanced toy and even though it will probably cost you a little more than some examples of Ozma which are available out there but in terms of value for money I definitely think the 19 is the better buy! And I found it a far more enjoyable toy to handle and play with compared to a 25..
