  1. They appear elsewhere but I thought their color schemes wouldn't really jive with this particular photo. Plus, I sold them ages ago (no regrets there) and they'd have to be digitally inserted (as I did elsewhere)
  2. Why isn't this a turn based strategy game on a computer? Seems like it'd be pretty easy to accomplish. It kind of reminds me of the Sega CD game Dark Wizard.
  3. Even if it's a V1 it will be an impressive display piece... it'll just take a little more patience. EDIT - Does anyone have a pictorial guide how to tell the difference between the various versions? I have some limited editions and I'd like to figure out which versions they were.
  4. Your guess is as good as anyone's.
  5. I think there's a whole thread dedicated to these little boogers. I also have a pretty expansive page up on anymoon.
  6. There's a scratch build 1/24 scale VF-1 that had a build-up on this site. Tracking it down and getting in touch with that member might be a great start.
  7. Sorry, I looked around, it looks like it has indeed sold out at most places. He who hesitates.... pays secondary market premiums. Seeing as we haven't gotten a VF-25S renewal re-release I'd say the odds are very much against a reissue this year. So my guess is we'll see Super Michael and Luca parts Tamashii exclusives announced soon for concurrent release after the RVF hits. I think we'll also hear about Alto Tornado parts before the end of the year. Then next year we'll see a Michael reissue at some point and then Tamashii exclusive Michael VF-25G Tornado Parts. Hopefully I'm wrong and Bandai decides to go the gift set route sooner!
  8. No, it's still widely available. EDIT - maybe not... but if it's not any more it sold out recently.
  9. Does the toy have a made in Taiwan stamp also our just the box? I assume it does since you mentioned the brighter paint.
  10. This is totally how Yamato should have made Valkyries!

    Japan bound toys

    I'm pretty sure this rumor stems from the 80s when toys were made at numerous factories and shipped to different regions. Toys sold in Japan came from the Japanese factory which usually had the highest quality control. Gakken of Japan vs Gakken of Singapore is a good example.
  12. A last ditch effort be takatoku to reduce costs? Not an official Macross merchandise either huh? Seems like that could have gotten them in trouble.
  13. I absolutely think Arcadia will make Macross products, but I think they're going to run into lots of licensing issues as they've shown Bandai that there's a market for DX toys and they're not going to be able to outbid Bandai.
  14. Sempai is a good example of a word that just doesn't translate well. There's no English title that comes to mind that gets thrown around with any frequency and conveys a similar relationship. What I miss about translations are the wording jokes that get destroyed. A lot of Japanese anime has puns or word plays that get lost. Hmmmm, this reminds me of discussions that used to happen around Working Designs imports of Japanese RPGs and the translation work they would do (Back in the Sega CD days if I'm not mistaken).
  15. The crotch should be thrusting forward
  16. I've spent $500ish on several Macross toys 1) Bandai VT-1 2) Bandai VE-1 3) Takatoku 1/3000 SDF-1 All were in great shape and wonderful purchases. I also spent about $500 for my Yamato 1/12 TC with Odon Parts giftset.
  17. I think you have the waist mistransformed, it's not jutting forward enough.
  18. I have a transformation guide too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UgZEcj2aEIo
  19. Gift set ftw!!!!!
  20. I think it's a great toy in battroid mode. It requires a stand in cruiser mode but I don't 'woosh' around my SDF-1 toy either.
  21. Sometimes I doodle transforming fighter planes while I'm riding on trains... does that count?
  22. Bandai, make a new Joke Machine! I guess the fact we never saw any more releases from this line: Makes that unlikely.
  23. When do we get Super Parts for the Focker version?
