Just over 10 hours till pre-orders open for this one! everyone getting ready for the madness!?!?

hehe! cool! Transformers do make good target practice for Valkyrie's! let him shoot some more while he's at it! LOL!

sometimes the armor parts do come up for sale here for reasonable prices.. but you gotta be quick! There are still other parts sets available for cheaper, such as the supers & tornado parts. Possible alternatives.. im more than sure you wont regret getting a renewal!

who did you buy it through?

there she is!! yep agreed! I would rather spend the money on this than a SDF-1.. not that I don't like the SDF-1, they are very nice, the 1/3000 especially but its just they are asking stupid for them..

yeah you are right that the 25 aren't as clean but it helps give it a more spec / purpose built look I suppose! for me the cleanest one of all is still the VF-1. Even if you only bought one 25, say a 25A or even just Alto as they both go quite cheap these days.. An over sweep for the main wings would have been a great idea! help tuck them away a little more but they aren't so bad how they look I reckon.. But I wonder if there is room for a small modification to allow them to over sweep a little? And when you look at say the YF-30, its wings hang out the back like angel wings! which is probably the look they were going for or made no attempt at stowing them away.. But I rather like how they stick out! I love the 19 also! probably my next favorite after the VF-1. I do prefer the head unit of the F over the S but my pic of the 19 bunch is the P! The longer wings of the Kai & P variants plus the design of the wing roots are nicer, but in truth I love them all pretty much the same! You can get Armor parts for both Alto and Ozma VF-25. They are just often crazy expensive! I have Ozma's armor parts which look awesome but I don't think I'll ever get them for Alto's 25 seeing its my least favorite of the 25 bunch so I don't want to spend money on parts for it. Yeah she is very awesome! Eyeballed her for a long time and now im glad I finally added her to my collection! The Canaan series was quite good too! maybe you should check it out! I might buy an Alphard to go with Canaan also.. Same here, I cant resist a pretty anime girl! Especially yielding a deadly weapon! but some of my other girls don't have weapons and they are still lovely! Im picking up a Asada Shino (Sinon) figure from Sword Art Online2 and she looks totally bad ass too!

I think it is the Yamato prototype wmkjr mentioned below.. yeah im pretty sure that was it! I know a 1/72 scale version wouldn't be that much smaller but surely building a 1/60 would be reasonable to do!? there would be plenty of guys willing to spend the money on one!

I thought at one stage someone was going to release a 1/60 Monster? Or was that a different scale..?

Great pics and poses guys! I think this is gonna be a super busy thread!

ah sweet! looking forward to seeing that one!

with my Android phone using Chrome, I have to go into the browser options to select "request desktop site" as it would seem there is no visible option to do so on the website directly.. personally I think the mobile site is better for the phone but certain post options such as adding attachments are not available and you have to flick back to the full site. But then the full site doesn't behave so well on the phone. I would blame the shonky Android software before blaming the website for that.

I have noticed with NY that sometimes they are on it and other times they are quite slow.. its a little irritating. Plamoya is the worst though for timing.. I have a feeling I won't be seeing my Zero-D's this week..

@ UN Spacy nice review of the VF-4!

I love these flightpose stands! affordable and very effective! not as flexible as a Yeti stand which I would love to try but now all my stands are FP so it makes it hard to want to try something else.. maybe one day!

great work on this review! now you'll have to update it to include Ozma's 29! hehe!

That's awesome! I wonder if it will work on FSX or if there is an FSX version of it?

thats very cool! I wouldn't mind giving it a go but pity I never got into X-Plane.. Too much invested in FSX sadly..

wow! a deep & dark era of computer gaming I happily avoided.. even back then when it was all in its infancy I thought it was all pretty terrible stuff.. I walked away and made a return in the early to mid 90's and found not a lot had changed.. still kinda cool though to see it all again!

@DWN013 a cool sequence of events! That J looks quite interesting with the GBP boosters fitted! @jvmacross that looks.. weird and interesting at the same time!? hehe! might have to try a GBP gerwalk with my set just for the sheer curiosity of it!

They look really great! The Zentradi ships are somewhat random and oddball in their designs eh.. no few seem to be similar to each other. Like the ship builders thought they'd just wing it as they went along! just had a look through your Flickr gallery and I must say its full of pure awesome! Very impressive!

hehe! same here! very impressive stuff eh!

ahhh sweet! for sure yeah count me in on that! =) I was hoping of getting one of each of the dancing/singing Ranka & Sheryl..

ok so correct me if im wrong.. but these fine young ladies will not go retail? prize only yes? can't say im too happy about that if it is indeed the case..

agreed.. it would be crazy stupid for Arcadia to simply re-release it. Especially after Bandai will release a 19 of their own and considering some of the negative feedback Arcadia got with theirs even after it was "re-engineered" compared to the older Yamato efforts. Personally I love the thing but I would like to see some new & interesting color variations. I suppose a "new" Ravens paint would be nice but not a Bird Of Prey or Double Nuts. Those two were kinda lame and boring.. Even if they made it a VF-19 as apposed to a YF.. I don't think there is much of a difference between the final prototype and initial production version anyways? They could easily do and get away with this! I would sure as hell buy one!

ah yes indeed!
