yeah (though, IMO they should've learned their lesson by now)... but what i really would like to know is if Yamato is planning to do a re-tooled mold for the front fuselage/nose section part for the 1-seaters (and the 1D 2-seater) or will it really be "too much of a bother"??????? ahem, ahem, Gr-ahem, Gr-ahem, ahem....

can somebody translate this (curious 'bout what it means): ◆オプションパーツ VF-1S、VF-1Aには付属していなかったTV版ポージングハンド（丸手）。左右各2種類のポージングハンドを差替えることにより、劇中のあのキメポーズが思いのまま。 got it from Yamato's site for the CF 1A. THANKS!

just checked Yamato's website and the VT-1 has that same statement w/ the improved crotch attachment... makes sense since they have the same front fuselage/nose section... but looking at the CF-1A, i doesn't say that it will have this improvement... maybe the G-man can shed some light on this?

seems like Yamato is taking a page out of Bandai's book w/ these incremental improvements a la DX... first the shoulder hinge, now this... while i'm all for these improvements, it still kinda sucks for my other v.2 valks... they really shoulda done these from the start... blah, blah, blah, blah, *%#$%^*&, blah, blah...

now that is just effin' annoying! so, they're basically saying that starting w/ the Elint, these will be the 1/60 ver.2.5 VF-1s... if they're really going to change the crotch attachment for all valks after the Elint, i might just have to pass on the other v.2 VF-1s i'm planning to get and just wait for the v.2.5s... oh, well.... (looking for exasperated smiley... )

nah... but i do remember one guy who customized his 1S to make it look like the TV ver. IIRC he painted the head arrows, triangles on the shoulders, modded the antennae, changed the color of the pilot seat to some green color etc etc... too lazy to look for that thread...

again... WOW!!!

not an expert... i just slapped on the FPs and put in the Hikaru pilot fig... i really like it better this way... 1S has been like this since i got the 1J w/ FPs. some pics i posted before:

LOL :lol: ... nah, he had it coming... love this pic, BTW... nice group shot. might do one myself once i get the valks and the cam and make it into a wallpaper or sumthin'...

retcon??? maybe you mean recon?

VE-1 is on Yamato's website... and DAMN!!! it's even more expensive than the VT-1 @ 16,800 Yen w/c is around US$ 177... (VT-1 - 15,800 Yen) http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1388

lol... one of the reasons why Kakizaki couldn't be an ace pilot and got killed... doesn't even know how to hold his gunpod properly - "where's that damn trigger..." oops... dead...

just saw this while surfing (not sure if this should go here) ... action figure??? http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-96302-1-1.html

saw this when looking for pics of the DX EX-Gear.... http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/images/etc0094/019.jpg

you're right! so, what ???... they missed tampoing that for the Max 1A... damn, making me think twice about getting the Max TV 1A now...

you should go watch them all! ... better start w/ Zero coz its just an OVA w/ just 5 eps... then Frontier - 25 eps. better take it slow w/ Mac7. As for me, i want to see the VF-4 done...

COOL!... can't wait to get mine!

yes! i have the mess! but seriously, i hope for the sake of everybody pre-ordering these repaints that Yamato is indeed deserving of your trust...

for me my 1S skull squad would only consist of Roy, Hik and Max 1S's... sorry, but i don't think Kaki deserves to get a 1S... he definitely deserved to get his steak... but a 1S, no... ... and did i already mention, i hate the green stripe.

based on the Yen price, proly US$160-ish

LOL, all that after you just said that you trust Yamato and pre-ordered the BoP... LOL :lol:

exactly what i was thinking... no offense but... that De Niro quote made me remember when someone said that people who try to convince themselves that "beauty is only skin deep" are probably butt-ugly... LOL but seriously... i had to give up some luxury items that i bought when i was single (and trying to impress ) to buy these toys, w/c i consider to be luxury items as well. having two kids now, i pretty much save up most of what's left after the bills and what not for my kids' futures... i finally paid up my debt for having a house built last year so i'm pretty secure in the fact that whatever happens, we have a place to call our own... like others have said, needs and responsibilities do have to come first but when you have a little extra to spare, i don't see anything wrong with spending it on toys, nice clothes, vacations or whatever indulgence that will make you shallowly happy temporarily... all these things serve as a form of "entertainment" w/c i believe people also need (constantly) or else they'll go crazy and insane...

TV ver only... hate the green...

woohoo! thanks for the confirmation... i was nervous it would be delayed too...

EDIT - nevermind...
