Sure, just went through the whole series again recently. I remember the lackeys but not where exactly the suit scene was.

Been watching way more Frontier but gonna get back to 7

lol hmm... which ep was that again?

I'm almost thinking having the canards retract in like the VF-11 tail fins would have been better.

yeah that second shot is definitely a stomping on Tokyo pic.

Good to see some pictures finally. You get some yet, Graham?

The greens never did anything in the show except fly or get blown up, so don't mind that one. Where's the CF VF-25, Bandai?

I didn't intend any general specificity to apply to future development of lasers as limited to chemicals. More just pointing out that AA as envisioned in the original Defender is getting increasingly archaic.

The poster only took a 2 or 3" depression from the way oversized huge box (look at my 2nd or 3rd pic a couple pages back).

Look at which directions "point defense" is going in real life. LAD and Aegis Combat System are using a mixture of CIWS Phalanx rotary cannon and ABM missiles. Next on deck is chemical lasers.

Does the anime show the VF-27 battroid with that tail hanging like that? I would think that the shield shouldn't be UNDER the tail but that it should BE the tail (kinda like Yamato YF-19 and VF-11)....

Everyone seems hell bent on exclusives. Hasbro does it increasingly with Star Wars and their other brands. A bit annoying... Hopefully they'll repack/repaint some of the stuff (I want the LAI Super Fold Booster but don't care for the speaker pods... including the reaction weapons and/or a Galaxy Ghost V-9 would be nice. A Ghost v Ghost set (Luca's versus V-9), could be cool, too if not a Judah System pack of all 3 of Luca's.

Mostly just need to watch the last episode, then since that's when you most of them.

Seems like most all of the DX toys except the Quarter are sold out. Did Bandai under produce or is demand unexpectedly high?

Port tail fin has the 101 correctly, but the starboard is angled down.

The other problem area is going to the fronts of the shoulders (also the lilac, lighter against the maroon/violet base color), which touch each other in fighter mode. I have a small scratch there, now, probably from my transformation. Pretty damned cool, toy, though. I like the heft it has to it. Not sure if the DX VF-25's are the same but much heftier than a Yamato. I think my favorite valkyrie remains the Gamlin VF-22S, but very glad I got this. Great experience from Ami Ami, too.

I see exactly how Graham scratched his. I avoided to do it, but if you're not careful during the transformation that piece will touch to the back of the "sternum", as it were. It will let you push it back until you pull the upper torso up and over it... then it's recessed. Coming out of Battroid will be worth careful attention, too.

SGV towards LA

Just did a quick bunch of shots from my phone. Should give a sense of perspective on the gigantic box and the poster and what not.

White markings look like they're just painted on to me. I don't feel any groove or depression and only a very slight change in texture on any of them.

Well figured out how to do the clip for the gunpod. Is it supposed to be angled slightly down from the nose like that? Anyhoo, one of them shoulders was scaring me that it was going to chip like Eugimon's cause it was crooked and only way I could seemingly straighten it was to push from below, but went in fine. Love how tight it is, though the wingtips/wing engines are kinda bugging... still a great design, though. My hands do feel slightly greasy.

No chips like Eugimon's or anywhere that I could see. A little bit oily... more of a film towards the top side back half. no noticible fingerprints. My first DX. First impression is that it's a bit smaller than I was expecting (smaller than the VF-22S) at least in surface area if not length or width. The right wing engine seems to fold up and/or not lock down as tightly, but I'll inspect it closer tonight when I get home. Heavier than I felt it would be. Feels heavier than the Yamato VF-22S.

Got it. Ami Ami Rocks. I'm definitely going to order from them again.

Looks like a drydock type thing like the Enterprise was in for ST: The Boring Picture or the Enterprise-E at the end of Nemesis... Hmm maybe not, all 3 of them have them... is that planet supposed to be Earth?
