  1. One thing for certain - the Valkyrie based on her would have an amazing paint scheme.
  2. Krell was an ass, no doubt. Loved watching him work, and his fighting style was marvelous to see. He had to die, of course, but what a character!
  3. As far as the Fragarach barely keeping up with VF-25s, isn't that the idea? The 25 is an update of the clean-sheet YF-24, which incorporated all the latest tech and integrated it cleanly, with no legacy systems or materials to get in the way. The Fragarach and Crusader have the limitation of old materials and an inflexible design. Short of completely rebuilding them with the all new materials, they're already at a disadvantage from a weight and materials standpoint - and if you're going to go that far, you might as well go ahead and build new 24s, 25s, or even 27s for the same trouble. What I'm trying to say: if your bored-out and lightened 19 can barely keep up with a new 25, I'd say you've done very, very well indeed.
  4. Oh, Lord, can't that guy moderate his mouth? I feel that, at least partly, people are already gunning for him, so whatever this is might well be blown out of proportion. That said, he should KNOW people are just waiting for him to slip up, and that should make him cautious. But, then, he is the Orangutan.
  5. Yes. Not much more to say, it's completely legit.
  6. What happens when you fly a bit TOO casual.

    Hi-Metal R

    And weren't these the ones that Kawamori was tweaking at the reveal?
  8. You're not the only one.
  9. I notice they included stickers that say UN Army and UN Air Force instead of the leg tampo. Was that in the anime?
  10. A stand to support a description placard? An extra-hand holder to, uh, hold the extra hands Valkyries come with? Probably resource-intensive: a mount to display Super Parts neatly when not on the Valkyrie?
  11. Perhaps so. An exception would be from Russia With Love, because that was just - JUST - plausible enough that it works as a Cold War thriller on its own merit, and it happens to have the Bond name on it.
  12. Me as well. I have a pre-order up that I'm debating keeping - I have a Maruyama 171 and a Percival on PO. My need for a V2 VF-1 was met by a fairly cheap TV Kakizaki I bought from an MW'er. What I really want are Super parts for it, and Arcadia hasn't said a damn THING about reassuring those, as best I know. Perhaps they don't have the molds for those?
  13. Grabbed one from NY just now. Waiting for Grace's VF-27 next.
  14. I take it you can read some pretty technical Japanese, Seto! Thanks.
  15. Those Zentraedi ships were really big, too. So were their hordes of Glaugs. Thanks very much for this thread guys, it's been fascinating reading. As for the canon-icity of the Master File books, I think Kawamori was asked about them, and all the other materials, and he said something to the effect of: "None of it is canon, and all of it is canon". So I suppose we can take what we want, and leave the rest. Just like your salad bar! Erm. Sorry. Seto: wot's RHA? Pity so much of this is in Japanese and hard to find.
  16. He's not really dead, you know, as long as we remember him. Godspeed.
  17. Pic doesn't show.
  18. Start your engines! Guess what's been made available at NY: http://www.nippon-yasan.com/product.php?id_product=8318 This must be some kinda record, right?
  19. Oh, wow, those contraprops on that Bear were mesmerizing! So greatly curved as well. An old, still amazing aircraft. Also liked the Typhoons quite a bit - quite the mission load.
  20. The Sky Crawlers. Don't forget that one.
  21. I got nothing. That's not a model, not a toy, not even a display piece. That's an achievement. I tip my hat to you.
