    Ok now I don't feel like such a heel for not getting the first one but I'm still gonna wait for the Super/FAST packs.

    Yamato 1/60 VF-X

    DARKWIND replied to Graham's topic in Toys

    I didn't say it was canon. All I did was give him a scene where it was done which would make someone who didn't know the truth think otherwise. I know they are not "lasers" and have known for quite some time.

    Yamato 1/60 VF-X

    DARKWIND replied to Graham's topic in Toys

    Max and Millia's wedding ep. (Virgin Road), he uses them to disable the battle pods when she says she doesn't want to kill any more. After that just about the rest of the fight scene for the ep., every shot is using them too.

    Ditto. If they don't want to improve it then let someone else take a shot at it. But I really want to see the DX battroid mode first before I pass judgmen on this. Cause we all know the model will be more accurate but the toy could have glaring flaws all throughout. If looks solid then I'll buy in, but if it looks like a cheap eyecatcher then all best are off. . . And I too would've rather seen the VF-171 in any form before this, its just not fair to the other designs to be sorta scrapped like this.

    I'm with you on both points bro . . . I don't buy these to look at resale value it may be sorta lucritive but its not my cup of tea. Its the thrill of the hunt and display on a shelf that keeps me going. Like a lot of us here have damn sweet displays, and at anytime we like we can pull a toy down and relive a scene or make our own. Its about that feeling we had as kids when we first got a cool toy we wanted. For some the "Whooshing" around, others just seting them up in the display is a rush. Just seeing a tangible piece of our childhood/imagination sitting there is almost as cool as seeing/piloting it in real life. And also I'm a mostly no stickers kind of guy. Unless it is a typically shown feature in the show or really necessary for display (color/identifier/designator). I don't like the way they curl up and or fade over time on display.

    Not to drag on but. . . One of my wife's friends recently came over and kinda put me on the spot about my colection too. I just told her its my thing and (jokingly) "better this than another woman. . " She didn't take it too well at first. . . But after she heard about the cost of time and money that went into it she eased up and saw it for the stress reliever it really is. Again its your/our hobby, if some people don't want you to enjoy it then just keep them seperate. We are all grown enough to enjoy/pay for these items, we've worked long and hard to have them. So display them with pride and joy.

    On the "Father Approval" note, my dad passed a long time ago. But, I think he would've given me the big thumbs up! Hell, he started my hobbying mind set with models, electric trains, Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars even M.A.S.K. I think he and I would be still hitting the toy stores with my son looking for the bigger better deal. I believe he felt the need for a hobby was crucial to helping a person grow. His big deal was fishing and fixing cars. Me? I went but didn't get it the way he did. I think he saw that and kinda changed his plan to a smaller scale and it worked (but I still love classic muscle cars). Nowadays I look at my son and see him and his RPG's and poke/baku/yugi/digimon world and laugh. I may not be a fan of them but its what's got his eye and far be it from me to preach otherwise. And in the future I visit him and he has a mancave on par with mine I will be proud then I'll hand him the still sealed reissue Japanese Ultra Magnus I bought him when he was 18mos old. All I can say to you, is don't let it get you down. You built that collection for your pleasure not his. (Much respect) Back on topic. . . I gotta redo the lights in my main case the bulbs are just too hot.

    Seeing as I'm a "19 nut" its my first choice. Second the VF-11B (bayonnete pod). Third the protect armor 11C (ma' deuce pod).
  11. DARKWIND
    Same here, though to me it looks more like a trimmed down air/space brawler/intercepter. Less graceful than its predecesors but it has that still the talons to kick ass in a fight. Kinda like an Eagle to a Hunting Falcon. Or in a twisted sort like the F-18A/B to the F-18E/F its purpose was changed but it still holds the essence. Dare I say it but I hope they make a toy of it.

    I've gotta see the battroid first before I make a final call. But it could be promising. . . Anybody got a link to it in action or is this film not out yet?
  13. DARKWIND
    Yessir damn hot pics, should do a gallery I on this site. That is if you haven't done one already. . . .
  14. DARKWIND
    I concurr sir, it would be both cannon and different from the norm. And once you see it on your shelf, it just makes the whole series look complete.
  15. DARKWIND
    Nice work!!! DAMN nice work!!!!
  16. DARKWIND
    You make really good point. . . That line of thought led me to buy both his TV 1A and his DYRL 1S. All for the fact those were the birds fought hardest in and took on Millia in. I just knew the pairing would look nice in my case, and it does.
  17. DARKWIND
    Yeah I remember you mentioning that before, but ill still hold out hope for it to hit the shelves one day. And yes I will probably pay full price for it too. . .
  18. DARKWIND
    It sucks but gotta wait till I get back home before I buy anything. Hopefully Ill be ther next week. I have got to finish the Vermillion squad got Max and Hikaru need Roy and Kakizaki. I've got Skull squad in 1/48s so I'm good there. But the pressure is on with this sale so tempted to snach up other items but need to focus. Curse you HLJ for hitting below the belt. . . . . But noone ever said Macross was a controlable force of hobby power. . . . . . . AARRRGHHHHH!!!! :lol:

    I'll PM you check you messages. . .

    I knda felt it was a good deal but needed some MW input/concensus. I thought if I bounced it off my fellow members here I'd get a general idea if I were looking at solid deal. Also I'm getting it from a good source, he's been one of my best suppliers from HK for a while.
  21. DARKWIND
    Ok sorta off topic. . . What do you guys think $127.99 (paid for & shipping) for a 1/60 Roy TV VF-1S? Take the plunge or no deal?
  22. DARKWIND
  23. DARKWIND
    You are the man who can be in their ear about it. . . "Come on I know you guys can do a better job than this, and you know it will sell. . . It IS Macross after all. . . " :lol: But I wonder if they have any of the MacF toys laying around to look at and think about a redesign.
  24. DARKWIND
    I'm with you, I hope those Regults do sell well for the same reason. And as far as the 19 is concerned I want both the blue (Ageis) and green (Gilliam) versions from VFX-2. Just use the new body from the Kai with the needed tweaks to make it a 19A. Also do the 11 scheme from the game and Millia's red too. With the current mold it will be so sweet!!
  25. DARKWIND
    You sir are reading my mind. . . . With the build/customize your own VF-11 approach it seems more reasonable too. Just keep the cost down on both ends $50 to $100 seems ok. . .
