I don't know why, but this seems like a good place to point out how cool Firefly was (especially on DVD with the other episodes and slightly altered dialogue). Serenity was a wonderful way of tying that story up also. Asian TV doesn't do the long drawn out series huh? No Simpsons in Asia? Well, on the one hand that saves you from the ridiculous "jump the shark" moments but some shows do go out gracefully over here too.

This thing will retail in Japan and the surrounding areas for $120 is my guess. Put a $20 mark up on it and ship it to the US and I'm thinking $170 should be the max price. For those considering going to Neova, I think it took 4 days for his package to make it to me... I call that fast. I don't know his asking price at the moment, nor do I know how quick he gets things from Yamato, but if shipping time alone counts then I could vouch for him.

At the risk of harshing the love-fest, those last episodes also have some really REALLY lame moments to them also. I know my memory is a bit tainted by the animation in some parts also though. That episode with Minmay in the fork prison and the zents smoking giant cigars and eating giant drumsticks definitely comes to mind.

I thought the old Yammy arms couldn't handle the gun but the new ones could?

There's gotta be like a pinned thread we could direct this guy to right? Talk bad about MOSPEADA man, c'mon, do it. I dare you... <heads into other room to sharpen knife> Those whose franchises include Macross7 should not throw stones.

So how do I get cabinets like those? Are they from one of the custom vendors online, are they something you did on your own, or are they something you can buy somewhere?

You need Marlboro Milds, I believe they're blue so you wouldn't even have to switch brands.

Hey man, you can't put that collection down, there's more there than meets the eye. Your place must be huge... I like my toys in jet mode but man... it's amazing how quick you run out of space when you do that. Gradually all my toys are being posed in battloid

I noticed this too... it's quite a bummer. I handled my AB at the same time as a Stealth and an LVII and didn't notice any differences in the plastic quality. I did notice that the AB is as bleached a white as they come though. In some of my pictures it was difficult to tell where the AB ended and where the white background began.

Woohoo, thanks for the plug I really intended to way more comparisons on the site but I just haven't gotten there yet (I have almost no free time at all these days). I think the reviews that are there ought to give you a good idea of the strengths and weaknesses of them all. There's no variety in the MPC releases but Yamato improved the 1/60 line as they went, that's why there's lots of reviews for those. The 1/48s... well, they're in a world of their own.

Is that the same trick that Yamato used for the 1/60 Elint and Ostrich?

I don't know about making the gun pods parts, and I don't like the idea of making the guns part of the fast pack only either. It seemed silly that the 1/72 didn't have gun and it'll seem sillier with the 1/60. I think, in the grand scheme of things, being a pretty large bird, Yamato can definitely figure out a way to facilitate the guns. I'm not so much worried about the space though so much as I'm worried about big glaring holes in battloid mode. I think it'll take some creative engineering but I have faith.

I love my Angelbirds VF-1. I thought I wasn't going to like it at all but man, it's great. It looks really nice in the GBP-1 as well. I'll be postin' a pic or two here once I get the review all done for my site. Sadly, mine did come with a very loose airbrake... but it's no biggy

Thanks! VF-1A Angelbirds, GBP VII and updated 1/48 reviews are comin' up... gonna be lots more pictures

So I finally got around to reviewing the Strike/Super VF-1J Stealth at my site. I advise you CHECK IT OUT

I like it! Now I'm trying to imagine what kind of future would be best for all the characters. What the hell becomes of a sumo wrestler after they retire??

Seriously, I almost wish I had written my original text to be that cool! You want more rice gruels?? NIiiice

Eugimon is so going to kick your a$s for your insolence. How dare you come into this thread and act like Yamato isn't perfect and your should service each member of that company for blessing us with what they've given so far. How dare you sir! Oh really Oliver, you want more porridge??? Haha, I'm just teasin' Eugimon. It's been too long since he last yelled at me. I'm honestly sure Yamato has much better sources than fanboys like us on what they're doing right and wrong but I think if we're all pointing the same things out then there's a good chance the people who really do have input are noticing similar things.

pics have been way too big lately. It's nice so you can see all the detail sometimes though.

Yeah, looks like a VF-1D with a radome and the arm antennae from an Elint...

It's a lot like therapy for us. We don't nitpick at our jobs. We don't nitpick our women. BUT OUR TOYS BETTER BE DAMN WELL NEAR PERFECT OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY! EDIT - does anyone else find all the "cod piece" discussion hilarious? Seriously, when was the last time so many men gathered to discuss a cod piece?

Shared this with a buddy, we both thought it was great and hope they do another.

The lineart does look like it's slouching a bit. Pushing the torso forward on the toy and bringing the shoulders up (like we now know they can) seems like it'd bring the toy almost dead on with that lineart (cod piece excluded)
