    Pictures right up to Gerwalk, but none for Battroid - that is very hurtful of you Duymon

    Fresh!? The franchise was served on a platinum platter to Abrams. All that was needed was to take those core Trek (or Rodenberry) values out and to insert them into a completely new environment/setting. New characters, designs/aesthetics, uniforms, aliens... etc. Heck, we could have even had transforming shuttle crafts and I would have accepted. Why? Because it would have been really new and different --> fresh! Instead we get a semi-detached retro-rehash retelling, with very limited creativity and borrowing from left and right. Nope, that is not fresh. It is fermenting Sci-Fi action that has been repackaged and rebranded as Star Trek. As for longevity and renewed interest in ST universe - I doubt it. The movies are advertised as your typical summer blockbuster, interest and attention spans will last for the duration of the movies and then forgotten until next time. There is very little that would make for kids, teens and/or tweens to further investigate/indulge themselves with Star Trek.

    Sorry no offense, but please tell me that Europe (or Euro Union) is not represented by that ugly Russian looking one... I will be watching this though.

    Bandai, Takara, Aoshima and Kotobukiya would be the ones I trust.

    Pre-ordered from AmiAmi earlier. What can I say it's Macross, it's Hikaru's VF-1S... I'll buy blind

    Start Trek IV was very popular too, part V could of had them at a zoo and saving Pandas or something. Point is, original Trek was very varied in stories, but always with some key moral/ethical point in focus. IV had environmental stuff for exapmple - and yes even II had it - remember "Genesis Project" and the implications that were being discussed. New ST, hmmm... lets see.... don't do time travel? Going crash, boom, bang just puts Star Trek in the same pile of shows with this concept, nothing to alienate it, to put it above other shows...

    Looks like I have to carry the torch for MG... Strike HD Age-2 Double Bullet and another Bandai trumpcard suprise... Crossbone X2 (shot lance!)

    Very exciting stuff, I think Battroid is going to have some great articulation.

    No word on the controversial head, no word on the overpriced fast packs, Yamato's release tactic with the -17D... Jenius you are letting me down here...

    Way to spoil anticipation for episode 6.... Please use spoiler tags, if you are going speak of content, see example above how it is done! Anyway OVA 7 has been announced for Spring 2014, talk about torture!? I was hoping this would be done with by October/November this year.

    Let me sum up the European release: late, expensive and of course some features dropped already.
  12. lechuck
    Not MG, not interested.

    By what!? A neck-less ship without any saucer separation, hardly any mass/volume, and super elongated warp drives sticking out in the nowhere. There is a missing scene in Nemesis were Picard cried and wished he had his Galaxy-class after he rammed the Scimitar his WHOLE starship had to be towed back for repair...

    Please not, I am tired of Battroid mode always being sacrificed in favour of fighter mode.

    I would love to see an updated Computron, to me he always seemed like the most strongest combiner on the side of the Autobots. Besides, Computron being a G1 season 3 character means the alt modes were super fantastic to begin with and that in turn gives third parties some much more leeway.

    Forget the GERWALK, I want to know if the waist line in Battroid allows it swivel!?

    Here is some I would like physical representations of. I am open to who actually makes them, although where possible I want them to be scaled model kits with full cockpit and pilot detailing (like MG or R3 line). - Super Dimension Century Orguss: Orguss, Nekick - Mobile Police Patlabor: Peacemaker, Type Zero (from Wave in 1/48 would be great, and while they are at it also re-release the bloody Patlabor!!!) - Aura Battler Dunbine: Billbine, Sirbine - The Vision of Escaflowne: Escaflowne and Alan Shezar's Guymelef - Panzer World Galiant: Galiant (TV and OVA version) - Code Geass: Lancelot Albion (enough of the stupid action figures, I just want a nice 1/48 or 1/35 scaled kit with details!!!) - Metal Armor Dragonar: Dragonar (non-stylized!), Falguen (1/100 scale with MG frame) - Five Star Stories: Junchoon and the rest (affordable 1/100 scale kits that are articulate) - Super Beast Machine Dancouga: revamped Dancouga and individual bots from "God Bless..." OVA (Bandai SOC) - Linebarrels of Iron: Linebarrel (1/100 scale) - Super Robot Wars: no particular ones, just make them 1/100 again (Kotobukiya you fail me) - Next Senki Ehrgeiz: some Mechs in here that would be nice to have - Genesis Climber Mospeada: once and for all A PROPER TRANSFORMING TOY on par with Bandai/Yamato!!!! - Heavy Metal L-Gaim: L-Gaim Mk. I to match the Mk. II from the R3 line

    I was going to ask the same thing... I could see myself pick up another one if Yamato released one with that animation colouring.

    The base body is workable, but the head and all the acid clear green plastic has to go. Hopefully Takara does this and gives it darker metallic paint trim and then it might turn out great. Anybody noticed those two yellow plastic thingies just under the windscreens, they look like the vents from the Nu Gundam And have you read THIS! Hasbro you have my curiosity, make it a voyager and you'll have my attention...
  20. lechuck
    Yeah, that could very well be. I am not 100% sure anymore.
  21. lechuck
    What about VF-0 and SV-51?
  22. lechuck
    March can't come soon enough!
  23. lechuck
    The Mark II is nice, but I personally prefer the first L-Gaim more.
  24. lechuck
    It is a pity Bandai's R3 line never gave us a nice 1/100 Dragonar. I was so hoping for it.

    On the topic of Hot Rod/Rodimus, what does everyone think of that waist-flap they use for him? I mean it is OK when he is standing straight, but I don't like that when you move the leg forward the whole thing has to open. I wish they had done the waist/leg setup like it is pictured in his manual, below rather than behind.
