    somebody might want to watch outside Graham's home... he might decide to have his v.1 DX VF-25s in "trash bin mode"

    kinda felt this would come out sooner rather that later... transformed my VF-25F last night back to fighter and i'm planning to keep my 2 v.1 DXs in this mode forever... while fighter mode does have its own issues, it is the most solid between the 2 modes of the v.1 DX VF-25. I'm gonna have to lift my Bandai boycott coz of my love for the VF-25 design... now i can finally complete my SMS skull squadron even of i have to re-buy the F and the S. good thing i cut my losses when i did, i was sooo tempted to get that Tornado VF-25G a few months ago in Tokyo... but still, F U Bandai!

    sorry to hear about your YF-19... kinda like what happened to this YF-19 the plastic on the YF-19 is definitely iffy, but i think what eventually made it crack might be an over-tightened screw... afaik, there were 2 guys who had that happen back then... i checked my YF-19 when i read their posts and saw that mine was showing a white line, exactly where theirs cracked ,where the plastic was clearly stressed... i loosened the screw that connects the two halves of the neck part and the white stress line disappeared. i didn't bother tightening that screw at all after that. on yours, the (hidden) screw that keeps the 2 halves of the lerx part together might have been over-tightened. after seeing your post i promptly disassembled that part from the hip and loosened those screws. guess you'll just have to display your YF-19 in battroid so that crack isn't visible...

    spent the whole show waiting for stuff to be said or to happen that didn't... kinda wishing the"magical" part would've played out the way it did in my head when I read it ... and that actress playing Mirri Maz Duur was really crappy at saying her lines. ...back to the books now...

    guess the wait will be a little bit longer for us D lovers...

    MP10 at Tokyo Toy Show - http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/masterpiece-convoy-20-video-from-international-tokyo-toy-show-172545/ looks light based on the vids...

    godammit Maxfactory! when will Figma Archer come out?!?! i still can't believe Robocop and a handful of those KRs came out first in the meantime, i'll have to do with just his arm (sorry for the crappy pic) a la Nine Lives Blade Works

    yeah, but it seems to me that non-transformable small scale Macross VFs are just doomed to fail, doesn't matter who makes them. even some of the limited edition ones, after initial release, i've seen selling for cheap... and i think the toy companies have noticed this the past couple of years and it makes me sad coz i might never own the RD Armored VF-25S or any other VF (that I can't afford to buy/have in 1/60 scale) in action figure form.

    after reading the so-called "caveman love advice" (for the umpteenth time in a toy thread no less!), I was surprised he was able to even spell the word hypocrite correctly. guess when you hear it so many times you just have to look it up!

    this is the second time i've heard The 5th Element mentioned here in the past couple of days... makes me want to watch it again... Leeloo never fails to get a "rise" out of me as for this movie, based on the reviews, i think i'll wait to watch it for free.
  12. m0n5t3r
    it's pretty clear that there's no "pilot" in HIS head...
  13. m0n5t3r
    never really liked it either... don't like green... but one could say it looks great next to the rotf devastator toy i'm still waiting for an Ultra Magnus encore to display with my city commander+classics UM. can't seem to find a reasonably priced re-issue that's not used/loose.
  14. m0n5t3r
    yeah, i wouldn't mind getting a GN-U M&M VF-22S set... i just can't seem to convince myself to get the 1/60s even at 60% off i just don't have enough display space for them and I still can't get over the battroid proportions of the 1/60 YF-21/VF-22 mold. EDIT - i wonder if Yamato ever toyed with the idea of packaging their 1/60 VFs with their GN-U counterpart... just add, say, ~1500-2000JPY... you'd have a big scale, PT valk and a smaller poseable battroid figure to display together.

    just saw this from TD... clearer pics of MP10 - http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-157146-1-1.html ...10th thread, 10 transformations, 10 times the fun, 10th Masterpiece... still Optimus Prime.
  16. m0n5t3r
    i heard he used to sell military ordnance and Yamato was looking for something to blow Bandai up...
  17. m0n5t3r
    this is definitely an instance where too much of a good thing makes the toy look bad.
  18. m0n5t3r
    haha... straight to the point. even better - "Graham, I think Yamato should reissue this."

    here's the "pelvic-thrust" discussion from the old VF-27 thread - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=32802&view=findpost&p=859678 on the DX 25 and 27 you'd have to split the part of the forward fuselage behind the crotch to get it to angle out... this also enables the waist joint. the problem was, the waist joint is so loose to even bother with making the crotch angle out... and you'd have to "cheat" like what Renato did. i was just wondering if they're cheating in that pic too...
  20. m0n5t3r
    i wonder what's behind the left thigh in the 3rd pic that's keeping the crotch sticking out and the underside of the front fuselage angled like that.

    just watched the latest ep. shocked and sad when I got to this part in the book... still made me sad watching it happen on the show i was hoping they'd finish Danaerys' part in the episode ... but that's for next week's episode... can't wait! exactly how i feel.
  22. m0n5t3r
    forgot about that... the May 2010 safe release should be the one with clear canopy and new crotch then.
  23. m0n5t3r
    which VF-1J? the one with the grey-lined visor. any v.2 VF-1?... every release after the VF-1D except for the VT-1 and the VF-1J w/ armor parts that doesn't have the grey visor.
  24. m0n5t3r
    i love the new Super O... too bad about the shoulder hinges though. probably why it didn't sell out as fast as the Elint. speaking of the VF-1D... i'm still wishing Yamato would reissue this with the updated crotch. I would gladly buy another one.
  25. m0n5t3r
    that's exactly what i've been thinking. but you'll never know with Yamato... i got my M&M 1Js 6 mos. after the initial release. it had been sold out in HK but I was lucky enough that there was a limited resupply when I went there last year. i was actually gunning for a pair with damaged boxes selling for HK$750 each, but it was already sold by the time i got there. although i'm glad that i got ones with mint boxes coz they look good side by side -
