  1. & Alaska Base??? Have to be fan customs or something.
  2. But Autobots and Decepticons are each supposed to be an individual sentient life forms. I'd find it odd that like 3 Autobots and 2 Decepticons would choose the same form. And yes, I of course make an exception for Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. Valks are just planes that people fly, in essence. Having a ton of those would make sense.
  3. Love my VF-1D. If you go with the VR, watch the back tabs just like with the M&M 1J's. They can get scratched when you go from plane/gerwalk to battroid if you're not careful.
  4. So...basically, you want a Yamato VF-25 instead of Chunky Monkey 2.0? That's what I want, although it'll be a long time before we get it, I suppose.
  5. Pete, I agree with almost everything you say here, but I will disagree with this statement, only for what I saw out of the designers for Transformers Animated. I'm aware the designs were really polarizing (and obviously not nearly as complex as a lot of shows/toys), but that whole activity was really a labor of love for Derrick Wyatt and his guys, which I thought was pretty clear in not only the designs but the enthusiasm they showed for the show and line. A small point, but it was a major one for me, in that it's partially what made me really enjoy TFA, something I hadn't done at all since Beast Wars.
  6. I figured it out, alas too late. Unfortunately there's nothing in the flyer that graphically indicates anything about scratching... Just warning people not to make the same mistake I did...although I guess if everybody else knows Japanese they probably won't.
  7. The scratch on the tab behind the head. Right above the backpack to the right of the left super pod. I edited to add an arrow to point out the scratch.
  8. I heart Overdrive. Already have my Max and Millia.
  9. Thanks! First, the good! No, the bad...
  10. Got mine today. They're beautiful...but there is a problem, imo. The white paint that is used to make the accents on the red and blue parts is REALLY soft. On the tabs that lock the chestplate in place in battroid mode, you have to be really careful when you're transforming from plane/gerwalk mode to battroid. There's a flyer about this in the package, but it's not really clear what they're saying, sadly, and it's in Japanese. My Max was fine, but my Millia has two nice scrapes right down the middle of the two tabs. There are also minor paint flaws on the bottom of the heads below the visors. Now I need to find a compatible white paint to touch that up...
  11. Graham, you're crazy.... Seriously though, thanks for the info.
  12. Thanks! Will do!
  13. Are there major differences between a YF-19 and a VF-19A? I'm just curious. I love the 19 design but would like to wait on a VF version if there's any chance of Yamato making it...are the "Double Nuts" and "BoP" close enough for all intents and purposes? Are they less floppy than the original release?
  14. This. I'd love to see VF-22's, VF-11's, ETC all blank with custom sticker sheets. That would be awesome.
  15. 27 looks AWESOME. I will get one just to display in fighter mode and display on a flexi stand.
  16. VF-11C transformation instructions too...
  17. Cool. Thanks for the tip, will do. I really want to like the show.
  18. Except Basara sings those same songs that annoy me every single episode. I think it just may not be my bag. Is there LESS Basara as the show goes on?
  19. I'm trying Macross 7 right now...I have to admit that I'm having trouble like Basara...
  20. Waiting for new M&M 1J's from Overdrive...
  21. The hip and crotch parts on the Super set on mine pop off VERY easily. The torso would be better served if there was some sort of 'locking' mechanism in battroid mode. I would love to see what Yamato would do with the VF-25 but alas we probably won't. FWIW, without the armor, in all mode, it looks great...really slick.
  22. I don't think Yamato will be making VF-25's anytime soon...like a long time... I actually like my DX 25 quite a bit without the armor I've found.
  23. I'd rather have the 1/60's. They're just about perfect (except shoulders on some) and they fit in nicely with the 1/60's from Frontier, Zero, Plus, and 7...
  24. Order placed with Overdrive for both. They look beautiful can't wait to put them on my shelf. Most likely the last VF-1's I buy unless they do a TV Roy... Now on to the Mac + Valks!
  25. I'd buy a Skull Squad VF-22 in about less than a half a second.
