This is gonna be like the best year ever for an ol' Mospeada fan like myself. I'm more than a little perplexed as to why all these manufacturers are making the toy so SMALL though. I was just playin' with my Gakken 1/35s last night, it's such a better scale... unless you're making a Tread also... I'm also a little concerned that this toy will just be a new take on the Toynami MPC since the MPC was based on the Imai kit and I gotta assume Aoshima would also borrow from that kit since they're currently producing it.

while these toys are a lot of fun, and certainly okay for a child under 14, I definitely wouldn't recommend them for a five year old. A 1/72 version of the 1/100 toy (with hands that slid out and landing gears that didn't need removing) would be schweet.

I broke down and bought one... it will eventually get a full review on my site... probably right around the time it will be sold out everywhere.

She does almost get raped by a woman in the movie though... that was interesting. Other than that there's just a bit of sexual harassment, not really assault (splitting hairs a bit) in the series. There is an episode dedicated to perverts selling pictures of her panties though.

I like it! Here we go: Macross TV White Pieces: King: SDF-1 Queen: Minmay with Mic Bishops: Super Valks Knights: MacII Rooks: ARMDs Pawns: CannonFodders Macross TV Black Pieces: King: Boldoza's Palace Queen: Q-Rau Bishops: Glaug Knights: Male Power Armor Rooks: Vritai's Class of Ship Pawns: Regults

Okay, I still don't have a functional computing environment at my new place but I was able to complete the Series 2 review just the same. Check it! I give you... a simulated barrel roll (um, part of one at least )

It's definitely more episodic than most but the character thing is purely subjective. I'm sure we could find many board members who thought the characters were just wonky in each of the other shows (Chirico wasn't winning any personality contests) and that the other shows had more than their fair share of misplaced humor. I thought the humor worked pretty well in Mospeada... not so much in RT's New Gen though.

I think that's the definition of "anime" right there... or certainly the vast majority of it.

All the image quoting here would give A7 an aneurism.

You can definitely get replacements from Toynami but God only knows how long it will take. The good news is you won't have to mail everything in to get them. Just send in a request and wait.

I'm still looking forward to finding a place where it's cheap! Oh well, I'll probably end up paying full cost here in a bit once I'm all moved in, all my furniture has arrived, and all the toys I don't need handy are safely in storage. Christ, since when is moving such a pain in the butt??? If anyone has suggestions where you found it on the cheap I'd love to know!

That episode was purely fluff and completely predictable. Hot actress with an old dude? Hmm, I wonder if she's using him? Nicorette gum being chewed suddenly on an island? I wonder if that will give him away? The creepy scientist talking about the pheramones (sp?) of a spider for no apparent reason? I wonder if that isn't going to come up later? It was cute fan service to give us all a flash of all those dead characters though but otherwise it didn't mean squat. If that episode were somehow scratched out of a future DVD release you wouldn't be missing anything. That said, I wasn't really bored watching it, and it was a nice twist that they were buried alive. All in all, two useless characters are dead without making any impact whatsoever. Lost is Lost. I'm still watching it but I realize that I'm watching it now as a soap opera rather than as some scifi mystery flick.

You know, it just occurred to me that it'd be pretty cool to have all of the premium valks represented in a unified paint scheme (not necessarily this one. Seems odd that they're excluding the VF-0S in this treatment. Honestly, I think it'd be cooler if they just did Angelbirds versions of the VF-0S and the VF-19A.

I'll get'em both and keep them in fighter mode to display with my AngelBird.

Pure Gold? Only if it also comes with spinners on the landing gears and a pilot that has a grill and a giant diamond-studded necklace.

Man, if they prime Japan for a new series by re-hashing Mac7 it almost certainly means they're going to try to lure in an audience of 10 year-olds which bodes poorly for what the new series will be aimed at. Oh well.

Nothing has been fixed... you'd be getting the old and busted. Shin's will be the first release to incorporate the fixes.

I think there was a merging of an Alpha discussion and a Cyclone discussion there. I interpreted to be that JasonC was apprehensive about the Cyclone since Toynami's attitude with the Alpha seems to be one of "if it ain't broke, why fix it" as evidenced by their Shadow Chronicles repaints that don't seem to reflect any improvements over the previous Alpha incarnations. Yamato has a history of being unavailable to people needing help with broken parts whereas Toynami has a history of easily replacing problematic items (unfortunately, Toynami has a far more prevalent history of releasing toys that will need returning). This is usually pretty clear by the "HOLY CRAP, Yamato actually fixed my toy!" comments in Yamato threads and the "I had to send another MPC back to Toynami" comments in the Toynami threads.

Meh, more smoke and mirrors if you ask me. "We may or may not eventually do something but we haven't ruled anything out. Thank you."

wow, I didn't even see that you could purchase anything from their website. I thought they just directed you to other companies that actually sold their products. Looks like I need to give that site a second look!

Well, I can't say you have a common complaint. Time to find out what's building pressure where and then to maybe grab a file or something.

LOL, that's some fretful reading. Relax, you got a good deal and you're going to be thrilled in all likelihood. Even if you're not thrilled, at that price you'll be able to sell it off to someone, even as parts if you manage to somehow completely destroy it, and recoup most of your money. So, sit back and enjoy the waiting game.

The gun pod hole is too small. If you don't attach the gunpod does everything work fine? EDIT - oh man, did you also see the warnings about the shoulders? Be smart, transform to the toy to battloid ASAP and loosen your shoulders! All this fidgeting with the arms is a good way to break them quick.

It is HG that needs to fear Roger...
