Lolicon

I went to HLJ and added to cart and checked out at my leisure. This is what online shopping is supposed to be like, Bandai you Fockers.

Preordered one. Woohoo!

Yes! I regret not getting this the first time around.

Wow wow wow! When it comes to looks, Arcadia's YF-19 is so much better than Bandai's.

Anyone hear from wherever you bought from? Still nothing from AE for me and HLJ still on order stop (hoping to maybe get a second copy).

Oh that's just not good...

Ha thanks! It's just my old HMR VF-4 from way back. Nicely engineered but was a little light on details out of the box.

Hikaru's rides

VF-25G reissue coming soon!

Despite the QC issues with the WWM VF-25, the matte finish looked great, so I can't wait to get the SMS squadron. Hopefully Bandai ironed out the QC issues from the WWM release. Don't AX us, Bandai!

I agree it was enjoyable. While I've actually enjoyed this season so far (a trait sorely lacking in previous seasons), I wouldn't put it on the same level as DS9 or the best of TNG. Then again those shows have 20+ years at their backs, so expecting any series to immediately reach the same level as them is asking a bit much. And yeah, there's the nostalgia factor. It can easily detract if they go overboard, but I'm willing to cut a little slack if this is going to be the TNG cast's swan song. I'd prefer this over Nemesis being the last we see of this crew. Still, four more episodes is plenty of time for them to completely f*** it up.

I'm sure there will be a few units available upon release. Just gotta be quick to snatch one before they're sold out for good. (Still wish I had purchased a second PF 0D.)

Yeah it's been on order stop status for like 2 years now.

Absolutely not.

It never does. With the 25F release next month, I think this time around I'll keep the the clean anime look, seeing as how I've already finished the SMS squadron.

In the case of the 25G, it's simply accurate to the show. There is no evidence to suggest this was a screw-up rather than an intentional design choice, as it appears like this consistently throughout the anime. Whereas the 25F is missing it's red and black paint on the head in the first episode, though one could simply say that that was Gilliam's 25F and Alto's is a different color variant. You don't have to like it, but in this instance there really is no one to blame except maybe Kawamori for the choice of colors.

I'm pleased to see the VF-25s being reissued with improvements, but for me it means more landing gears that need to be painted... That's how it appears in the anime.

Thanks! And no way am I going to re-repaint the landing gear!

Wow! I guess they get dust storms in the south Pacific too.

Mine arrived a few days ago but haven't had a chance to set it up yet. I'll do a side by side with Yeti a little later today or tomorrow.

I won't do that to mine because Ranka > Minmay Also I'll just wait for the Arcadia version.

Is that yours?

Oh snap that's a VF100? At first I thought it was the DX before I read your post. Sweet shots!

Oh wow I didn't realize that just an Angel Birds with the blue removed. Nicely done!
