  1. Great review Veef (I want one even more now - I didn't know that was possible)! How I'd love to do an oil wash, light weathering and matte clear-coat on that baby and zoom it around the room!! I just wished I had gotten my hands on one, now at over $600 is just too expensive to justify. I hope they do a re-issue with the armor at a reasonable price like $400
  2. I think when you pre-order, I saw an option to pre-pay now or pay just before the item is ready.
  3. I would like a 1/60 VF-2SS please.
  4. My bet would be Bandai... part of their EX collection. I would love it to be Hasegawa though, but I think Bandai has got the rights tied up tight.
  5. Wow! That's amazing for a 4 yr old - maybe I should get a snap tight for my 6yr old daughter.
  6. Anyone with english instructions on the controller layout?
  7. I love that design! I wished there was a good FineMolds kit of it. I had the old AMT/Ertl - what a disaster that was.
  8. eh... looks like a guy in a Crysis suit... not very mechanical at all (from a design standpoint).
  9. +1 Come on Hasegawa... but I'm not holding my breath on that.
  10. Well, what's up with giving us an adapter to a stand we can't even purchase or is out of production?!
  11. It's all relative. Some of the kids around the office spend $400 on the weekend bar hoping and going out for fancy dinners! or some of the old timers easily spend that on a game of golf for the day if you work out their greens fees, membership fees and clubs and divide it by the games they play. I don't drink or play golf or go see a hockey game - at least that's how I'm justifying it! ;-) It's only 4 pairs of shoes for my daughter... she can squeeze into her runners for another year
  12. Thanks for the heads up ... just pre-ordered with NY - even though its one of my fabourite valkyrie designs, I probably wouldn't have done it if I hadn't missed out all those Bandai MF valks! I guess Bandai's stupidity is good for Yamato. If HLJ comes out with it, is there any penalties in cancelling with NY? Do I just not pay up within that 2-3 week prior window and let the order lapse? Is there a more definite estimated release date other than December 2012?
  13. +1 come on AmiAmi or HLJ!!! I wonder if its light enough to just paint the tan nose and black stripes on the tail or do I have to spray the whole thing white (just more areas to chip when transforming) that might be the determining factor for a re-paint for me. Since I too missed out on the Frontier valks, I guess this will be slightly easier to stomach!
  14. +1 and Armor packs too...
  15. Looks great! Can't wait to see more. I have the same PE & resin upgrade parts as you - it will be my retirement project someday! You didn't decide to light it did you?
  16. Ah, two scales, don't know what to do... I want it in scale with the previous 1/100 (they are such crisply molded little gems) but 1/72 scale will be in line with the Hasegawa Valkyries.
  17. YES! Is there much difference between the recently released (in the last few years) Bandai 1/100 Cosmo Zero and the Yamato 2199 version of it? I'm no expert in the series, but they do look quite similar.

    DX VF-25G

    Damn! missed it again...
  19. Agreed! I'm now on the RoboCop remake... I guess we're stuck in the Verhoeven 80's here in Toronto!
  20. No I didn't get mad at you for bashing the original - I totally agree - I thought you were referring to this remake. ;-) Yes, as always, the story/script/dialog/acting could have been better. If you see it from my side of the desk, its a wonder these films even ever get made! I just wished that for once, I get onto a film and they actually finished the script or at least have some idea for an ending! I'm not mad, I'm just so sick and tired of everyone going on and on about how it doesn't hold up to this amazing original 22yrs ago - memory just has a great way of coloring the past. I just don't think most of these people have seen the original lately.
