Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Everybody who has any taste knows that it is in fact Gundams that are extremely fugly and Battroids that are cool looking. Graham Fugly is nothing compared to some of the Transformers out there.... Quote
recon Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Anybody who thinks Gundams are cool looking and Battroids fuggly needs their eyesight checking and/or some serious time in therapy. Everybody who has any taste knows that it is in fact Gundams that are extremely fugly and Battroids that are cool looking. Graham I would have to disagree with you graham, be it G1 TF, gundams, chogokins or macross, they are unique and beautiful in their own way. But my personal favs are macross and G1 TF cos they can exist in multiple forms vehicular or robot, even though yamato does have the edge in terms design and looks. speaking of which any news of the VF-0A being released locally? Cant wait to get this and maybe a 2nd ver VF-0S when it gets released again Cheers Quote
do not disturb Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 VF-0A is scheduled for September 25th, which means today! I forget what the Kakizaki release date is. Graham is it out yet? anyone have it in hand? got some pics? got a review? Quote
kensei Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 We heard zip so far. Even the HK suppliers are styaing quiet. Quote
do not disturb Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 oh wellz, i'm still waiting on the 0S(3.0 release) and the AB(paid for) anyway, once i get those 2 and the 0A, all i'm waiting on is the 19. hopefully they'll all be out sooner than later. Quote
Scream Man Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Classics mirage Kensei...u mean the new one? I wasnt sold until the recent pis that surfaced that make him look cool. Ive never gotten into gundams, I just couldnt see the appeal. The only show Ive seen is Gundam Wing, which someone told me later was the worst of the bunch, so thats probably not a big help for me. Apparently gundam Seed is pretty cool. Quote
Sebastian Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 The 08th ms team would be a good choice if you wanna check a cool gundam show. At least you wont have all those teenagers with super powers who can drive giant robotos because of some stupid reason. I just cant stand all the tenns crap on Seed and most of the Gundam animes, really annoying. And yes, some gundams are cool looking mechas IMO, but just a few. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I'm currently voting that the VF-0A isn't out yet. HLJ etc still list it for pre-order, none for auction in Japan, no pics at any of the Asian toy sites. Quote
jenius Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Somebody has them up on eBay as a preorder for October release. I hope the 0S 2nd Edition (or third... but I still think there's only been 1 release so far) accompanies it. I'd like to get both at once Quote
Save Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Just came back from lunch. VF-0A and VF-1A Kakizaki are out on the sales floor they were not out yesterday during my lunch stroll. Quote
wolfx Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Just came back from lunch. VF-0A and VF-1A Kakizaki are out on the sales floor they were not out yesterday during my lunch stroll. Awesome!! Can't wait for the pics. But crap...i'm so broke this end of year. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) VF-0A and VF-1A Kakizaki are out on the sales floor they were not out yesterday during my lunch stroll. So buy it and let us know what its like already sheesh. Edited September 28, 2006 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
Graham Posted September 28, 2006 Author Posted September 28, 2006 It's definitely out in Japan, as box pics are now showing up on Yahoo Japan auctions. Graham Quote
vanpang Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Oh man this is nuts, just bought the AB and now I have to fork out the money for the OA ?!!! Quote
Nani?! Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Looks like yamato tampoed the un spacy markings and the macross kite on one wing. THIS is what I'd like to see... tampoed essentials. I'm hoping they didnt forget to tampo the triangle "danger intake" on the side. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Ohh yeah the intake markings would be awesome if they were tampo'd. Quote
Scream Man Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 im happy tthey didnt tampo the nose and wing numbers. means i can make them different Quote
do not disturb Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 oh yeah! hopefully i'll be hearing the good word soon. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Woohoo, I can't wait for pics and reviews Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Yeah, NOW there's pics at Yahoo Japan, like 3 hours after I posted there weren't any... Quote
Scream Man Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Im sure its the flash, but the plane looks a VERY pale grey there doesnt it? Quote
Deimos Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) this sat , VF-0As making a landing on our shores ... Edited September 29, 2006 by Deimos Quote
ghostryder Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) That's a much better shot showing the nicer gray scheme we saw on the convention pics. Me like, and me can't wait for mine to land . Edited September 29, 2006 by ghostryder Quote

Fly4victory Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Wow! Those are great pictures Thanks. Can any see the helmet markings on the pilot? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Which begs the question--does anyone actually HAVE one? They're all in box for sale---seems nobody actually owns one to open up and take pics of yet. C'mon people, set it free! Quote
Fatalist Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Damnit, i want one. someone get one for me. Quote
1 VF-1 2NV Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Someone at SG has it. http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1121/macrossfr8.jpg Quote
ghostryder Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) Ah shoot, did Yamato use the wrong gray for the wing stripe? Isn't it supposed to match the gray on the heatshield/tails, and not that really dark gray used for the cockpit frame/top of nose ? Oh well, looks good either way. Edited September 29, 2006 by ghostryder Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Looks like a last minute change, both the early pics and the pics with the Ghost show a GREY wing stripe, not black. Now it seems to match the black leg armor stripes. Still, they at least did the more important IMHO "subtle" grey differences for the flaps, rather than the high-contrast of the early pics. The best though was the one with the Ghost. Even lower contrast, and the dark grey was less intense. THAT was the most low-vis valk we'll ever see. Quote
mister_e Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Ah shoot, did Yamato use the wrong gray for the wing stripe? Isn't it supposed to match the gray on the heatshield/tails, and not that really dark gray used for the cockpit frame/top of nose ? Oh well, looks good either way. Maybe just the lighting. If you look at the wing with the macross kite on it, near where the wing meets the body of the plane, it looks like the same gray as the heatshield to me :shrug: Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 ohh, so the intake markings are not tampo'd? or? Quote
