Looking at the pictures the arms are too close together on top of the fighter to accommodate the Tread. Plus looks like the arms rotate down also. Even if the size/scale is the same as the MPC Alpha don't think the CM Tread will link up in fighter. I will still get one for the Soldier Legioss with Tread version to go with the Stick Ride Armor. The old Gakken Legioss and Ride Armor can say hello to storage.

I have talked to HLJ's owner and the move to the new building kind of derailed operations. Now that they are "settled" I hope that things return to normal. I would hate to think that they have expanded to the point of failure since Valk-Exchange closed I have been dealing with HLJ for all my Macross goodies. I would love to see the paint job on Yamato's Nora since building the Hasegawa was a ?itch with all those decals. For those that already own it Yamato must have done great job. All I have read is that it is better than DD.

Yes!!!!!!!! Shame on me.... stuck waiting for HLJ to get it in stock.

Who has used what to convert DVD's to PSP??? I have read alot about PSP Video 9 and some DVD rippers with mixed reviews and just as varied results. I want to get the PSP for "traveling" but only if I can put movies on the memory card and I know that copy protected DVDs will one problem of many.... at least a problem with my copy of Macross Plus Movie Edition. Thanks for the pointers.

Rather late to the party but must agree that a multi-format release would be a benefit. As I understand BlueRay is region format free. So I can play the Japanese BlueRay DVD's on the PS3...??!! Japanese PS3 Games will work on American PS3 systems. Hope that games are quick to follow the release of the series. If Bandai does not release the new VF or releases poor quality toys Yamato will still retain its current market share and can increase its share by releasing the obscure aircraft. VF-4, VF-3000, and the VF-5000 until they can get the rights from Bandai. I would hope that Hasegawa could make 1/72 models of the VF-25 and VF-171 to satisfy the modeler "scale slaves". But the only bad part of Bandai getting the license is that Graham will have to build a new network for intelligence on new toy releases. I doubt that Bandai will give up any information to anyone linked to Yamato.

I wonder if the production numbers were reduced since HLJ has gone from "to be released" to "out of stock" with no shipping notice on my pre-order. I hope the line continues...I would hate to think that the toynami's will out number the Revoltech.

I think the CF is being called a limited release to create an artificial increase in demand.

Looks great but I thought the armor/pads were dark OD green on the show?

You might be able to find an old Arii 1/100 VF-1.

Looking up from U-tube and the old 1/72 doesn't look the same. What a sad day! since I have to wait for the new YF-21 to be released.

WOW!!!!!!!! That is a mean looking aircraft. Great Job.

Anyone in Korea could get these made. The best flightsuit patches come from Korea. I have had some made in the Middle East but they do not compare.

IAF is going to get the SV-51!!! Found this picture using google but the paint codes do not match the graphic. I think the paints codes are for the green and tan F-16/F-4. Equally glad that the release date is so far off that I can save up for it. Edit: Added JPEG image israeltop1.bmp

Thanks that is good?? news. Only good in that I thought I was failing in my searching techniques. Sad that Max and Miria were the only VF-1J's made then.

While the plastics are cheaper have to disagree that they are better. I prefer the little die-cast aircraft. I have all but Hikaru's VF-1J and have displayed them with the new plactic 1/144, two Bandai VF-11 and VF-17 and a very old Imai. Would not mind seeing a 1/144 VF-0 and SV-51.

Those are great little aircraft but the VF-19A wings need to be more forward. Have each one of them.

I had Gundam Dynasty Warrior on my Trash360 and it was the first game I bought for my PS3. It is a great game but have only played Amuro and Char. You are outside the Gundam like "Battlecry" but have to control of the camera. Like to play with the Japanese audio. Just ordered Armoured Core 4 since Crossfire seems to be a waste. Wonder if we will see Gundam: Year One War for PS3 or will that be Xbox only?

Is Gundam Crossfire as bad as the reviews on Amazon and IGN????

Two heads makes the visor look like it moves up and down. Look at the color difference and the position of the slider on the center front of the helmet.

Thanks for being the test pilot. I have seen those little "bits" that click into the PS2 to make the Japanese games work but guess those do not exist for the PS3.

Here is the challange. Someone with a PS3 purchased in the US please try Macross VF2. It is the only Japanese PS game that I have and with my 360 in the trash thinking about jumping over to a playstation. If PS3 can play Japanese Macross games I will be at BestBuy before the sunsets. Thanks!!!!!!

Yeah that is the one. I copied your idea a while back but was a little off on the position of the Type 0. After watching the movies I do not know if I would feel comfortable in such a formation.

The Zero is cool to have for the big riot shield. I like having 1 and 2 stacked behind the 0 like an entry team.

Here is Nora's SV-51 from http://www.macross.co.jp/zero/

Not upset but worth a warning to the general population. You can play with the waist and chest joint to minimize the error. A slight twist and it is minimal. Just hope that mine is as you say a mass production error. Yet in the end, I just folded the chest forward. When taking it apart I did discover that the feet joints are the dark gray color that were shown on the shoulders of the proto-type. You would end up with white ball joints on the feet but then you get your dark shoulders. Also on the revoltech website, they have Revoltech pliers??? so I guess you can buy new joints and swap them out. On the fast packs the super cannon can be removed but the "normal" front is not included.... can always take one from the VF-1J. Since your patlabor is minus weapons have you considered having it torn apart by the zero patlabor like at the end of the movie.
