  1. Long range optics? Targeting Sensors? Because a humanoid shaped robot needs a head? All of the above? Regardless, the VF-2SS and the VF-2JA are awesome, the VA-1SS is mediocre at best in battroid and horrible in fighter. I'd buy a Metal Siren if the better M2 Valkyries were released first. As for a wish that has a smidgen of a chance to become reality one day, how about the VF-14?
  2. ... and the story just keep getting worse and worse as more information comes to light: Shot down from 30000ft by an AA missile... a sickening act of barbarism that has cost the lives of all 295 people on board.
  3. I'd go for a second Motoko if she's released in her 2nd GIG getup, even though I already own a 1/8-ish Gutto Kuru version.
  4. Figma does it again, the major looks awesome... preordered!
  5. I want one, truly, but will have to give it some thought before committing; I've spent far too much money this year already... and it's barely half over.
  6. I don't think it was random at all. It was an Easter-egg for fans of the original, specifically discussing the Icarus spacecraft nearing Mars orbit. It doesn't mean that it was a direct link to the original franchise (maybe the original movie if it stood alone, but not the sequels -- the depicted history of those negates any relation), but it was a nice little nod to the '68 film. This completely separates the rebooted PotA films from Tim Burton's incoherent mess of a re-imagining attempt; and destroys DuelGundam2099's assertion of a shared timeline.
  7. I can just imagine an AA meeting conducted by the likes of Macross World members: Chug, chug, chug, chug...!
  8. Dandy says -- it's time to go to BooBies...
  9. Looks like a RP job to me...
  10. Not THAT far; besides, don't know about you, but I could use a breather... or at least my wallet could.
  11. I know white would definitely look better, but aren't the landing gears metallic gray in the Anime? -- I may be remembering wrong, however... --
  12. That just sounds so hilariously wrong...
  13. Bleary eyed, half drunk, panel lining of an expensive collectible... you sir are a maverick. looks pretty good, BTW. Quick, somebody help the poor man and pour him another glass...
  14. I'm happy it worked for you just as intended; always glad to be of help.
  15. Terrible affliction OCD; it insidiously deprives sufferers of living space and funds...
  16. Got mine delivered from AmiAmi; I'm still flabbergasted I was able to get one off them. Checked it out and it looks flawless and with no paint bleed or fuzzy edges; although, the wings still exhibit a slight up-turn bend... Bandai...
  17. If I remember correctly, since both items are on the same invoice, you'll have to pay for both at the same time once the first of the two in nearing release, and you'll have to wait until the second item arrives at N-Y before they are shipped together.
  18. I expect it to be just as good as M Night Shyamalan-ma-ding-dong's masterpiece: The Last Airbender... wait...
  19. Aside from the Frontier license, and then only the DX toys for the most part, Bandai has shown very little staying-power and follow-through with anything Macross related. I doubt they'll ever revisit the Hi-Metal line for anything other than a reissue of previously released VFs, and maybe not even that; so I would not expect anything new.
  20. Bodaciously, beautifully, curvy, but those way-too-big-for-her-head eyes have prevented me from pulling the trigger on any version of her... I guess they remind me too much of those creepy Pullip dolls.
  21. This is just my opinion, but the way I look at it: All renewal VF-25s > VF-27 1.5 > VF-27 1.0 > VF-25s 1.0 Saburo does make the revised VF-27 Brera look really sharp... mad photo skilz there.
  22. That's exactly what I mean by cliche; although, I was thinking more along the lines or Elysium and The Day After Tomorrow, among others, for my dismissal of this movie's whole premise, a premise that come across as more of a Scifi movie of the week cheese fest than anything else.
  23. They're also sometimes referred to as plan and elevation views (far more so in architecture than mechanical engineering, however); projection views drawing is another name used. But which ever way you call them, they are all blueprints.
  24. "Global Warming experiment", "the Privileged vs. the Deprived"... can they get any more cliche?...
