Sildani Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Got my preparation email! Doing a happy dance! Quote
Lolicon Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Is this the new one? Yes. Old one doesn't come with a clear canopy or all those extra markings. Quote
Sildani Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Looks like the green color is much more consistent across the board. The old one had different shades of green across various parts. Very good. Quote
anubis20 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Yes. Old one doesn't come with a clear canopy or all those extra markings. Cool, they are out in the wild then Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Oh, so they decided to throw in the clear canopy after all (even if non-canon). Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Nice. On the other thread, we have Ube. Here, we have Avocado. Macross promotes healthy foods. Remember that, people! Is this the new one? Who pilots this one? Stick or Ley? Quote
spanner Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Yes looks great! Definitely gonna display mine with clear canopy! Quote
derex3592 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I also got my preparation email. same here! Quote
spanner Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 @no3ljm.. does ube avocado icecream exist!?!? Hehe! Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 @no3ljm.. does ube avocado icecream exist!?!? Hehe! Umm... Ube flavored ice cream exists, and people put avocados in ice cream, so to say that avocado ice cream exists wouldn't be a stretch. Both together, I don't know. I have no idea how I feel about Ube (I've never tasted purple yams and I'm not sure I'm keen on eating things that are naturally purple). I like guacamole, and avocado in my sushi, but I'm not sold on avocado ice cream. Kinda like candied bacon ice cream, I like ice cream and I like candied bacon, but not both at the same time... Quote
wmkjr Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Yup, avocado ice cream does exist. Never tried it yet though. Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Yes! It does exist. @no3ljm.. does ube avocado icecream exist!?!? Hehe! Yes! It's so good when mixed together. Quote
F360 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Well I drink avocado shake when I order Vetnamese noodles , the the ice cream will probably taste similar . Quote
neoexcaliber Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I probably won't see shipping till much later since I cancelled my order and re-ordered just a month ago. Quote
spanner Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Yes! It does exist. Yes! It's so good when mixed together. that looks quite good actually! And just got shipping notice too! Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I got notice that my avocado ice crea- I mean VF-27 shipped too. Man, that ice cream looks good... Quote
spanner Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I got notice that my avocado ice crea- I mean VF-27 shipped too. Man, that ice cream looks good... hehe! I found a place in Sydney that does all kinds of weird and exotic ice creams (including the ube and avocado) but its on the other side of the city so when I have my son next we'll make an adventure of it and go try some! Can't wait! Quote
jenius Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 First ube now avocado... we have some hungry board members. Quote

jenius Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Time for midnight snack!!! Ice Cream!!! Too bad all we have at home is Peanut Butter flavored Ice Cream. Yum! Yum! Peanut butter or cannon fodder? Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Peanut butter or cannon fodder? You're right jenius! Why didn't I think of that?! Hahaha! Ube. Avocado. And Cannon Fodder flavors. Quote
Sildani Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 They'd cost twice as much as comparable ice cream, and people'd complain the packaging disintegrates in the freezer, untouched. 😀 Oh, yeah. Shipped! Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 You're right jenius! Why didn't I think of that?! Hahaha! Ube. Avocado. And Cannon Fodder flavors. Cannon fodder flavor - Explosion of flavor for your taste buds! Quote
Dimis Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Looks like the green color is much more consistent across the board. The old one had different shades of green across various parts. Very good. I have v1 and i honestly think that the uniform green of this new release makes it less interesting to the eye. But i can understand the upside if that makes it more consistent with how it's supposed to be. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 woke up to a shipping notice today! whoo hoo! and I REALLY wish you guys would stop talking about ice cream. My old man teeth don't like super cold things anymore so I had to give that stuff up like 2 years ago.. Quote

But i can understand the upside if that makes it more consistent with how it's supposed to be. Yeah, it's supposed to made of Unobtanium and then painted, so I appreciate the uniformity. I wish this came with the fold booster like the V1 did, or a Grace pilot figure. Oh well. Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Cannon fodder flavor - Explosion of flavor for your taste buds! Love your description, MacrossJunkie. woke up to a shipping notice today! whoo hoo! and I REALLY wish you guys would stop talking about ice cream. My old man teeth don't like super cold things anymore so I had to give that stuff up like 2 years ago.. Don't worry derex. You can just let it melt and when it's not that cold anymore you have your own smoothie to go. Quote
Jasonc Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I'm trying to get the clear canopy thing for this. Was the mass production unit with a clear canopy, or is it just for gits and shiggles? I do like it, just a bit confused as to where it came from. If from the movie, no problem. I just don't remember. Quote

Brera ejects the armored portion of the canopy and the clear part remained. Quote

I thought about it after I posted and thought it might be from the movie, but couldn't remember if that was done in the t.v. show as well. Good to know. Thanks for the clarification. Quote
