Happy Happy Happy Joy Joy Joy Just found out about this via bigbadtoystore email. I wonder what the pilot will be like and will it have TV version hands or DYRL only as initial picture.

What are you doing Dave!?

Its not too bad if you dont understand Japanese. The hardest part is "finding" the item you want to buy. Once you found that the rest is pretty straightforward. The actual account and ordering bits can be displayed in english. I've ordered a few CDs and books already and had them delivered to the UK without trouble. Hope to pick up this book and a few other things as well sometime soon! Cheers,

Don't think the final will be the dirty look. This seems to be a "security" measure to make selling the protos more difficult or some such thing. There are some Cybertron protos on TFormers with the same black spray paint on them.

Another Transformers CG demo. This time of Optimus Prime? Optimus CG Video

For UK Trans Fans Argos has Alternators Windcharger (Honda S2000) listed in their catalogue for 19.99 GBP. Argos Alterator Windcharger

For Lego Star Wars fans... From Bricks To Bothans has some box pictures and build pictures of the RotS ARC-170 (7259) Lego set. Also, for any UK Lego Star Wars fans out there, the latest Argos catalogue has the ARC-170 and the updated TIE with light up Vader listed. Avail Feb I beleive. UPDATED: The TIE is appearing as unavailable on the website and the catalogue in store had the new ROTS Jedi Fighter listed instead of the TIE with light-up Vader.

hehe am sure I voted for the garage door but guess voted for glass opening door. even the wife voted down my garage door idea. still think it might work have to think about it... all the best

Using XE.com to convert 3,150 JPY at the time of this message it works out to about 30.75 USD plus you will have shipping ontop of that.

Love it too. I am in awe at the many talents out there. keep up the good work. Now if only Yamato would make some of these customs like the CF into a real 1:48 release.

The coat looks great!!! just need those boots / leggings. Well Max probably turned them into leggings by sticking his big Valk foot into them! EDIT: del pic as didnt see prev one posted before doh!.

Not sure about HLJ but Amazon Japan has it for pre-order? Searched by ISBN: Amazon Japan Preorder Might order a copy for myself...

Ah but atleast the episode paves the way for a possible limited edition gold qrau toy

Well, played a bit with my monster last night... (ya ya I know ) The instructions were indeed a bit of a let down but I managed to get the thing into Gerwalk mode afterall. In the end the change from shuttle to gerwalk was rather easy once you get passed the instructions. I noticed that out of the box the hole at the tip of the arm gun barrels which lock at the front of shuttle mode already had a stress line on them!!! I don't think it is that bad though cause looking at it the clip is a hook clip and not a peg as I first thought and I think it would still clip into the inner square hole even if the outer circle edge got cut. Also the trick of pulling the legs down a bit to lock the side tabs in shuttle mode works ok and in fact maybe that is correct afterall? I dont think if the clip was the other way around that the "gap" between the legs and body would be any different cause the gap is due to just the overal under body sticking out. I reckon if the clip was the other way around you probably have to push the legs up rather than down so be about the same. Overall, I'm loving my monster though the Fiance wasn't too impressed with it!!! (luckily she likes the Valks and even liked SDF Macross when showed it to her )

Mine just arrived at work so I had to take my monster out and play with it a bit!!! It is definately big and feels "heavy" too compared to a VF-1. Impressive!! Most Impressive!! however that backwards clip thing is there on the wings and when I took it out of the box both leg / wing bits fell down in a kinda shuttle gerwalk mode... plus my box had a bash in the corner but the toy wasn't harmed by it. The shuttle clip thing kinda bugs me but will keep this thing in Battloid mode / Gerwalk most of the time anyway.... Shall have some fun tonight playing with my monster at home, but I should be careful not to over do it...

Didnt envision the garage door concept in sections like a normal garage door rather say a solid piece of glass / plastic that would lift up and then slide into the top. Hard to describe I guess. Kinda lika having a lcd screen hide away in a car stereo. Attached picture. First shot, door is closed. Second shot door is opened. 3rd shot door is opened but pushed back into cabinet. A wacky idea!? might be neat though if could design it.

You can find some pictures of the box set here: http://www.tfclub.com/tffans/rom/200412060001.shtml and some menu screens here: http://www.tfclub.com/tffans/rom/200412070006.shtml Can't find the link with the screen grabs but saw it around there somewhere... EDIT: Found some various screen cap links http://www.tfclub.com/tffans/rom/200409070001.shtml http://www.tfclub.com/tffans/rom/200404210001.shtml This is a chinese fan site so the text is in chinese but all the pictures are on the one page. I bought Season 3/4 box set a while ago (same company and probably the same DVDs as shipped in the wooden box set) and the video looked and sounded fine to me. I did note some minor transfer glitches here and there like a frame missing or blanking very a split second but nothing major. The packaging is basic for the DVDs just a plastic container box with the DVDs in a CD sleeve jacket thing. No fancy DVD cases or anything. The price was good for me, just 10 GBP as opposed to about 25-30 GBP. Overall, I'm satisfied with the ones I have bought just wish I saw that box set earlier.

"my pet monster, a monster as a friend, hes big and blue and scary..." blue? green? I laughed out of my chair reading about everyone's monster!!!!

Was looking at Yamato's website today (Japan) and came across the following pop up URL: Yamato Mobile Promo which talks about accessing their site on your mobile? The intersesting thing however is the silouhetted VF-1S picture which looks like a 1/48 but I'm not sure what it refers to as can't read Japanese. Is there anyone here who can read it and understand what it's about? Is it another re-issue, or a TV version or some other special valk or just a general thing. maybe a note about the already released 3rd reissue. Thanks,

Oh wait, something moved on the shelf, oh no, Hikaru tries to take a peek under Minmay's skirt. (I think Roy might approve though)
