mmm... 4 grapes? 4 girlfriends? 4 billion $? Plz, try to specify just a little bit, since my guessing abilities are... how may I say... inexistent. Thanks, BTW. Manu

Hi all!! It's been a long time since the first version of these stats, and well, all I have now is almost the double of users and a lot of numbers. Well, what I can say is that there are not many surprises, and you'll see them in a couple of days. I would like you to ask for a final input: I have post in my webspace (chek My Webpage) the current stats. I'll wait until next saturday or so to correct them or to add new users if you don't find yourself in them. They are listed alphabetically. As always, feel free to make any suggestions you may have. Thanks for your input. PS: I'm very depressed... I have to ask my boss for a salary increase... OMG... So many yammies, so little money...

Well, this is my only one by now... (he has already found his FAST Packs...)

Damn you guys! You're seriusly making me put hands at work!! If I have time, I'll do a complete search in the next days. Yep, as someone stated before, someone has to make the dirty work... Excel will do it for me PS: it's true, trueblueeyes hasn't respond to my marriage proposal . Maybe I wasn't romantic enough (damn, we spanish use to be so, don't we?), or maybe I wasn't serious enough, or maybe she is already married with a intelligent guy, smarter and faster than we are.

I would go even further! I would say this is one of the photo album for the Meltran Q-Rau propaganda!!! (Put a slogan under your Q-Rau and all meltrans will buy it for sure! )

Hi, all! First of all, thanks Graham for the pics and info. And well, in second place, I would like to say: -- The VF-0 does not look bad at all -- But it's too expensive for the look&feel it has... Don't you guys think that this 1/100 is TOO similar to a 500yen banpresto? Yeah, it has the Yamato brand and all that... but under my opinion it doesn't worth 4K yen, nor 4.4K yen. Not even under severe ethilic effects. It's the first Yammie I'm not even thinking on purchase (and I like the VF-0 a lot, believe me!). Too Crappy. I do expect Yamato to make a damn good yf-19. That's my only wish right now. Manu

I would like to make a suggestion: to build a demilitarized zone, you know, a first-level barrier based on transformers. And then, the more expensive the toys are, the higher the shelves must be. That way, you may minimize their curiosity. <_< My display cabinet has 4 shelves (yep, a glass-based IKEA's), and I keep the lower two full of tf's, and my yamatos and MPC prime are on the higher. My daughter is only 14 months old, but I have seen her looking my collection with THAT kind of expression (yes, 1st step. You guys MUST know what I'm talking about). But her curiosity goes more for the TF group. Might be the more colours they have, I don't know. Definately, all I can tell is to have PATIENCE. And teach them NOT to even touch our treasssure! (for all tf fans, hey, I'm too, but yamatos are cooler!). manu

Hey, I love your custom er... CF's display floor (first pics). It's very 'fluid' and 'mechanical'... Is it from Yamato? (j/k)

Well, as I supposed, no news at all. By the way, Anubis, feel included in my 'people 2 kill' list. Thanks all!

Hi all, first of all, merry christmas everyone. And second, as the title stated, I would like to know if someone knows about any single new on this question. I use to read everything G-man posts, but his lips are sealed ( ) now, and no news at all (no news from magazines, web...). Damn, even google doesn't say anything at all!!! All I know is yamato's newsletter says that the 2004 releases are only Q-rau and monster. Can anybody pleeeeease throw some light over my perpetual darkness?? Any help is deeply appreciated. Even if it's a lie, it will help. I'll kill you as soon as i notice it, but it will help. Thanks everyone!

The same happened to me the very first time I tried to install the missiles on -exactly- the same point (same wing, same piece pop-off). As sithlord stated, glue it again. No problem since then, and I use to play with my 1/48 as much as I can... (yep, since I don't have any macross enemy, starscream is always a victim in my dogfights... ). No mercy!!! Decep**** will be defeated!!! (yamato, please, release the q-rau! My mental health is under serius risk!!)

Mock battles here, mock battles there... bah! <_< C'mon, guys, you have to recognize that what we REALLY like, what really turns us on (...) is to make Isamu and Guld fight!!! I'm pretty sure that every 1/72's owner does... (I do ) mcpaz

This leads to a question: if I have a 1/60 valk without FP... will I be able to install the GBP over my old VF-1A Hikaru v1.0? Which 1/60 version is needed? does it only fit on the VF-1J's? Thanks in advance, Manuel

Hi all!! I forgot to update my stats... hehehe... 1/72=4 1/60=4 1/48=1!!!!!! Wohooooo!!!! I finally got mine!! I'm soooooo happy.... You can check here...Link

Hi, Dimebug! First of all, welcome to MW forums. Well, as you, I was a happy hlj customer, but if you are looking for alternative sources, I personally recommend you to check TMP Anime and Valkyrie-Exchange. Either Tamim (TMP) or Kevin (V-E) are very polite, efficient and kind persons to deal with. For any further question, please do not hesitate to write down a line. I'll be glad to answer. Kind regards, Manu

boquepassa!! bienvenido al forum de MW, colega! A lo mejor sí sería interesante averiguar cuántos españoles (hispanohablantes, mejor) hay por el foro. Seguro que somos más de media docena... pero efectivamente, el idioma oficial aquí es el inglés. De cualquier forma, aprovecha para mejorar tu inglés... siempre ayuda. A mí al menos me ayuda un montón. Un saludo -- Wasssup! welcome to MW forums, man! Maybe it would be interesting to find out how many spanish-speakers friends we got around the forums. I'm sure we are more than half a dozen... but it's true, official language here is english. Anyway, you can improve your english skills... it always helps. At last, it helps me a lot. Regards, Manu

Gorgeous!! I must say I like very much her... ahem... gameboy (?). Yep, it's located in her... err... well on her right bo... ahem... on her chest.

Well, in fact the only 19 I have is the VF. I identified it was a YF by looking on its knee-joints, and the version was guessed due to the tailfins, which rotate outwards (the other versions rotate inside-the-legs direction).

Don't be worried, you'll be surprised anyway, for sure!!! the most complicated transformation process for a transformer ever!!! Be-yo-u-ti-ful!

Simply amazing. Some kind of perfect transformation... I love it. It's simply fantastic!!! Mooommyy!!! My be-loved wiiiiifeeee!!! Do you know who has been a veeeeeery good guy this year?? Ideas for christmas... mcpaz

That's a lot of hardware being pointed at your face. Is it just me, or does that look like a big nut sack behind him? Mmmmmm weeeell.... I also thought that minmay was smaller than the vf-1... bu-bu-but... well, back there, you can see a pair of... err... gloves... (!?) manu

The YF-21FP *IS* an improvement over the earlier YF-21, even if it's only in the leg folding area and in the addition of the FP, of course!. Well, I agree, but not 100%. <_< I have both versions of yf-21, and I have to say (it's a personal opinion, of course) that I deeply love my older version, much more than the newer. In fact, it's so damn hard (in terms of physical force) to transform it to another thing than fighter that I have decided to leave it in that mode forever. And the hip joints are so loose... I can't pose it without a lot of effort (and I know that the feet are redesigned, and all that). So, the 'disagree percent' go to the part related to the effectiveness of the improvemens. I mean, yes, the have really improved the original yf design, but, did it worth the cost? 1.- Yes, no 'leg gap' in fighter mode - > HARD to transform (not good improvement). 2.- Hip redesign - > Loose joints, you can't pose your robot (not good improvement). 3.- Front landing gear - > the old one was better (by my criteria) 4.- Color: well, I like more, much more, the old one. More variations, like feet redesign (VERY good!!), shoulders, FP addition... are eclipsed mainly by the 3 things stated above. Of course, Uxi, redesign and improvements are there. But at what price? I still think it's not worthy. Please don't get me wrong, I still like it very much (after all, it's the 2nd best yf-21 in the market, isn't it?). Regards, Manu

Hehe... cool. A yamato yf-19 v1.0!!! mcpaz

I concure to that Graham! Anyway, I think Yamato wants to spend most of their effort in perfecting this toy, due to the fact that their previous releases were a bust. well, I'm sorry, but I do not agree with you, fury. I have a vf-19 and a very close friend of mine has a yf-19 (v2). Well, I know that we can't compare the quality of a 1/48 or even a 1/60 vf-1 with our yf-vf/19 . We have to think that the 19 was yamato's first attempt in doing a macross-line product. And, even though it was NOT perfect, and was not absent of QC issues, there wasn't anything in the market that could be compared with it. In fact, it received the 'toy of the year' award. BTW, Yamato made a public... how can I say... declaration of the type: "we're sorry; yes, the damn tab B is a QC issue, we'll correct it" and they did. And then came versions 1.2 and 2 of the yf, and finally, the vf version. How many companies (not only toy companies, but software, food...) do you know that did something like this? With just a few exceptions, every one of them tries to justify themselves, not to make public 'we made a mistake'. Yep, I like yamato. But I'm not a 'yamato fan' or whatever. I just like the way they focus and solution their problems. And, no one should ever question their innovative energy. And no one should ever forget that there is no perfect toy. In fact, in every new version, they are improving and improving (well, yf-21FP aka purple eater is the exception). mcpaz

Nope... I think that "fang yang" is much cooler and funnier.
