  1. Ha, I'm going through exactly the same paces right now. Now that the Macross well is relatively dry I'm trying to go back and get some of the larger VOTOMS toys and finding myself asking the same questions. This might help you out, go to Yamato's website: http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/goods_list.php?gid=60&cid=115 That's the VOTOMs section. You can then scroll and check out the release order. The more recently it came out the more improvements it will have. Based on Yamato's page I have a question, was there a Brutish Dog release that came bundled with the Falyna figure? I apologize if I just murdered her name, it's been a while since i watched the show.
  2. Mac+ has its flaws but is overall very good. Much more coherent than MacrossZero and not as familiar to the Macross universe as Macross II.
  3. I'd be all over a new Jokemachine but I don't think I'd purchase this. It would kind of fall into the keychain/tchochke no man's land for me.
  4. What do you think of the XTS that's coming out next year? I've heard lots of comments both very pro and very con. For my part, I think it's a huge improvement from the current STS.
  5. oh... that looks.... lame. The Space Helicopter in Southern Cross may never have had its rotors deployed in space... but that doesn't stop it from looking like a helicopter in space.
  6. Very interesting video review! Just goes to show you how much things that don't matter to some can completely ruin a toy for others. Who would have thought a little release agent would cause that sort of reaction? I hope he steers clear of Bandai's DX toys.
  7. Collection 4 boxes are 25x15x10CM. The ideal would be to get an unopened box but if you have to open all of them in search of your YF-19s I'm sure we could still work something out.
  8. get lots of boxes, once you have your 19 sell me one of the other boxes!
  9. I've been looking for a box of series 2 for the longest time... they seem hard to come by.
  10. If anyone wants to sell me a Double Nuts or Bird of Prey at a reduced price (or trade for VF-22S toys) let me know. I'm not a huge fan of the toy but would like to revise my YF-19 post on anymoon.com and include at least one of those birds.
  11. In this industry, if there's enough demand a reissue generally happens. These toys selling for twice MSRP make me suspect that we'll probably see a bundle release with Super Parts early next year. Just a guess of course. -
  12. I hit the + icon for Sketchley's comment as I concur completely. Not an original enough sequence of events and poor decisions relating to the characters. On a separate level, the English dub is DREADFUL, Macross Plus is many times better. EDIT - while some of the MACII designs appeal to me more than others, I am bummed there aren't quality toys for many of them.
  13. It's very unlikely anything will change. Have you tried tightening a screw or adding some resistance?
  14. I stuck through Claymore to the end... which was surprising considering how horrid the boy's voice is to my ears. It definitely improved a lot once we got Claire's backstory. I didn't feel satisfied with the ending though although that's par for the course with me and anime. Now to figure out what's next...
  15. Hey, don't talk back to Eugimon. Respect his argument to keep this thread all about the pictures. Take a break and look at all the pictures he's posted in this thread and you'll start to understand why he cares so much about you polluting this thread with your opinions. When you're done looking at all of those, here's another one of the GBP Exclusive in action:
  16. man... I'll probably wait and get this, the VF-25 V2, and the VF-19K sound booster all in one shipment.
  17. What's the release date on those super parts?
  18. Did the LAF land with a thud? I remember some press for it a while ago, mostly along the lines of "what is Toyota thinking?" since it was at the time when they were being sued left and right for stuck accelerators and the global economy appeared destined for a long downward spiral.
  19. Maybe I missed something but it looks like both DYRL and SDF:M probably have the boosters, it's just the doors are always shown closed in DYRL and there's one instance where they're used in the TV show.
  20. A good place to look for display cases is craigslist. Sometimes retail stores go under and sell super sweet display cases for cheap. I've also seen high schools sell trophy cases.
  21. no white vf-1d with the trex double seat? Maybe that's next year's release.
  22. That's actually the Thunder Hammer custom parts. Ha - wow Kicker, you have two Thunder Hammers? A gray and a white? I take it the gray is done to look like the original model and the white is just waiting for some future custom?
  23. Not too long ago I was talking to a friend in Japan and on a whim I asked him if he access to some exclusives I had missed out on. He just so happened to have almost all of them, Gray Q-Rea, Family Mart VF100, and the GBP shooting missiles. So, now I have all of those things I saw one on ebay not too long ago, looks like it's starting to get awfully pricey to come by.
  24. Let me help bring this back on topic
