  1. I wouldn't hold your breath. the VF-11's were/still are pretty pricey valks and they aren't much bigger than the VF-1. I'm afraid that Yamato has gotten a taste of really high prices (vf-19) and isn't like to go back down....like gas company's Chris
  2. You and me both! Regarding the F/S prototype, I was thinking the same thing about the proportions.......that the wings looked a bit better there (less stubby) It doesn't appear to have canards so I'm assuming it was an F/S Chris
  3. Glad someone else saw it. My kids an I have also watched it several times! I'd love to see more of these specials. Chris
  4. I was just going to ask what color the P was. Definitely not white, maybe really light gray or a cream color perhaps. I seriously doubt the will release the whale blood version before a standard version. Maybe as an exclusive later. I hope, at least, because like you I'll pass if they release another red one first! http://a367.yahoofs.com/hkblog/_veuUfCRGAWrg4Yh5fHHppkdSmv8eCE-_517/blog/ap_20110725013217414.jpg?ib_____Dp8LOlQzM Looks like the F/S type to me.
  5. And the ventral fin too. Chris
  6. Waiting has paid off!! 19P looks sweet, just hope those speaker fins can be removed like we asked graham to pass along to Yamato. Not a big fan of those stupid stubby wings the F/S variants have but I may have to get one of those eventually too!!!! Chris Anyone else liking the look of the black and grey prototype as is Chris
  7. Wow! Look how sleek that fighter mode profile is! So glad I have this on preorder. Last concern is wether the subsequent variants will have the correct back plates. Damn, after seeing these pictures now I'm tempted for the rest of the line. Chris
  8. Anyone else catch the Lego star wars "The Padawan Menace" special that aired tonight a 7pm on cartoon network? It was hilarious and very well done. If you missed it look for a repeat showing you won't be sorry. Chris
  9. The 27 is really fine as is...sculpt-wise, BUT it still uses the old hip lock mechanism. I rarely transform my valks and just leave them in fighter mode. Last week I picked up my 27 and decided to transform it and for the life of me I could not get the crotch to lock into place. Don't know if I was doing something wrong but I could not get the peg to stay in place. Chris
  10. Nice comparison shot!! Really shows the accuracy of the toy! Chris
  11. Ok, I really need to see this movie!!! Unfortunately, I have no clue what/where I need to go and do to view a fan sub. For the life of me, I can not remember how I was able to watch macross frontier fan subs because my old computer went kuput a few years ago and I can't remember what sites and programs I used. Any help? Chris
  12. Question, I thought the purple glass areas above the intakes were for the fold crystals, so why does it need more fold boosters? Also, do you have to prepay for preorders with Tokyo-hunter? Chris
  13. Is Tokyo hunter a good place to shop? I never used them before. Chris
  14. Nice!! Minus the few mistransormation issues in the display........the fighter mode looks pretty nice. Glad I got the preorder in. Chris
  15. @whitestar I had the same problem with my shield but the I noticed that the connection plates weren't extended. There are 2 grey plates that slide out that slow the shield to connect to the fighter. Are yours extended? Chris
  16. If a group buy turns up I'll be in for one. Chris
  17. Got my YF-29 yesterday. Gotta say I Love it!!! One problem with mine though that I haven't seen with anyone else. My front windscreen sticks up in the front instead of sitting flush with the nose. It's like it isn't inserted all the way in, I can see the tab/plug that inserts into the nose, but I can not push it in all the way. I tried to remove the part too but it will not come out. I'm considering cutting the tab so I can remove the front windscreen and then just remove the remaining tab and then glue the windscreen back on so it sits flush, but it still peeves me off. Not sure why I can't get the damn thing out of the plug though, I guess it must be glued in or something. Chris
  18. Not into figures, BUT......seeing the pictures from a while ago plus these new incredible pictures really has me tempted. Really nice!! Chris
  19. Whoa! Cool!! Chris
  20. Just noticed a marking that is missing from the DX. It doesn't have the black triangular markings in front of the intakes. They are on the 1/100 model but not sure if there are on the CG. I know the 25 has them and I think the 27 has them as well. Pretty large markings to leave off imo. Still can't wait for mine to arrive. Chris
  21. Mine arrived as well but I wasn't home to sign for it so I'll have to pick it up tomorrow. Chris
  22. Just got my shipping notification from BBTS. Chris
  23. Waiting till the sale price comes around, but I envy you all that have it now. Chris
  24. Thanks Old Man!! I just placed my order!! Not too bad a price considering when it still came to a little over $200, even after the nice pre-order price, from the japanese vendors after shipping was calculated. Chris
