Yeah read all those posts as well as many youtube videos and it didn't help. Considering how easy it looks in some of those videos I'm wondering if it's a particular defect with my copy.

The heat shield is the worse thing about this valk. I've never been able to close it properly. I can get the lower piece to lock but can't get the top piece to lock with the bottom. Also half of the tab that locks the neck into fighter mode broke so the front nose/cockpit area is barely holding in fighter mode. I expect it to break eventually. Anyone know any fixes?

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
Sandman replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That was awesome! -
Oh Yeah!!! Love this sentai. I actually typeset most of the show's fan sub. Brings back some great memories.
-
Damn how do i keep missing these.
-
It seems just like the vf-19advanced Nippon-Yassen hasn't put any of these up at a marked price. It looks like it's going to be hard to pick this up. I wonder if N-Y has given up on sourcing extras from other retailers?
-
Damn missed this. I never seen a preorder night take place on Friday(Thurs Night). I hope i can get one somehow.
-
Change the way the Vf-11's heat shield works. Haven't ever been able to to close it.

I'm curious to hear this story.

Wow! Hell has officially frozen over. Initially I was super exited when i saw the first post. But now after having some time to digest this news and look more closely at the pictures, I have to say I'm a little disappointed. Like others have said it doesn't look as good as a toy that costs that much. I'll probably still buy one though.

I'd like to see an Orguss 02.

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread

It's going to be a long time before we see this show. -
Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread

What's it say other than the date. -
I agree with david as well. I'll also add that it's kind of annoying to see the thread bumped only to see someone posting a link to a sales listing (unless it's bandai preorder night). Not singling out anyone in particular as the frequency of these kinds of post have increased in the last few months.

Anymoon is the best toy review site I've ever seen. Great job Jenius if I haven't mentioned it before. Your site was valuable when I first got back into collecting back in 2008. Off topic, anyone know a site similar to any moon but dealing with Gundam toys instead?

Wow how did i miss this news. $140 for that piece of garbage mold. I never owned one that didn't break. And seriously? Can they not fix the gap in the arms? The first time i tried to transform it i couldn't figure out how to get the arms to peg in. I was trying to collapse the waist in farther thinking it was super stiff. I'm tempted to get a blue alpha since i was never able to get one to match the blue beta i got. But not for that price. Toynami should have released these back when the betas came out. Would've made more sense. I can somewhat accept a vf-1 v2 doubling in price but not this piece of crap. Still waiting for that shadow beta and Marcus alpha.

Live Action Space Battleship Yamato
Sandman replied to capt.actionjackson's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I saw this in a store in Vancouver when i was on vacation. It was $30, a bit more than i'm willing to usually pay. But i said what the hey and bought it just for the convenience of buying it in a store and supporting these kinds of releases. It's exactly like Dynaman says, both dub and sub. Dub was decent. Special feature are forgettable but at least there's something. I think i'm one of the few people you enjoyed this for what it was even though it wasn't perfect. 2199 is way better. -
I think the CF head looks better in fighter mode as it doesn't have those pointless horns pretruding from the top of the fighter. Though the horned head looks better in battroid mode.
-
There's no different designation between the Grace model and the CF?
-
So with this release Bandai has a release date for everything announced at their fair earlier in the year (yf-29b, vf-19a etc). The rest of year should be reissues I guess?
-
What are the vf-27 designations again? I'm completely drawing a blank. There's vf-27b and what else?
-
I had this mental image in head as well but I think my mind is playing tricks with me and they were really the ghosts. Awesome that interchangeable heads are included. I think fighter mode will look a lot better with the cf head. Bummer about the super parts though. The super parts were the best thing about the renewal vf-27. Though even with the swappable heads I'm still going to need to buy two of these so I can display both versions at the same time. I'm a sucker that way. That brings up a good point. What color would the super parts be if they had included them?
-
I doubt that's the last of Cisco. Most likely time will be changed and the charade with Wells will continue for a bit more as well as the Iris Barry story.

Awesome Tron discussion. There needs to be more of it. My hope for Tron 3 is that there is more of Tron. I hate what they did to him in legacy. I was also like to see more disc throwing in the battle scenes. I was disappointed that they never threw the discs in real non game combat. They used them like saws instead. Finally I hope that rumour about Tron 3 taking place mostly in the real word is false. That's not what I want in a Tron movie.

Are metal builds hard to get? Is there a decent selection? I'm thinking of trying one out.
