Angel's Fury Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Well, just as long the new YF-19 comes out looking sleek like an airplane should, and not like an overly constipated goose, I'll be happy. "Like an overly constipated goose", he! he! he! Quote

Chronocidal Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I thought geese were slightly constipated to begin with... why else would they make that sound? That's actually the comment a friend of mine made the first time he saw the Yamato YF-19 though..and there is quite a bit of truth to it. While I have to admit the battroid mode looks pretty good, the legs and arms are so bulky that they eliminate any possibility of a nice clean airframe in aircraft mode. That's mainly why I'm still hoping for a 1/48th version.. at that size, you could make everything much more in proportion, since you wouldn't need to make the hinges so huge. If they find a way to do it for 1/72 I'll still be very happy though, because it means I'll be able to afford it. Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled topic. Quote
bsu legato Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I didn't know MW had a reputation. I guess I know now. LOL! Yeah, that was amusing to see. Now we'll have to compete to see who gets mentioned by name over there. Anyway, thanks for the translations. It looks like some of those fans are as obnoxious, outspoken and opinionated as we are.

ewilen Posted February 25, 2004 Author Posted February 25, 2004 I thought geese were slightly constipated to begin with... why else would they make that sound? There are always a bunch of Canadian geese hanging around the college campus where my wife has her piano lessons. As one who has walked the fields nearby, I can assure you...geese are anything but constipated. Quote

Well, ya gotta remember that there are at least a few English-speaking Japanese fans (such as Q-san) who visit the boards every once in a while, and certainly there's some word of mouth. IINM, quite a few Japanese fan-sites even link to MW. And isn't the whole object of being a fan to be obnoxious, outspoken and opinionated? If we weren't wouldn't we fall to the level of -- gasp -- mere viewer? Edited February 25, 2004 by Pat Payne Quote

Plus, even though Japan's networking infrastructure is booming and they have some of the fastest cheapest services in the world, many of their webpages haven't evolved past text-based forums and most people still believe the internet exists solely on their cellphones. By comparison, MW is a treasure trove of pictures. I have not seen a Japanese Macross webpage anywhere near as comprehensive as this one. Quote
bbarr97 Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Curious as to why everyone wants the M&M to be sold without armour. I am assuming it is because it would be cheaper to buy them but I want to make sure I am not missing something. Am I missing something? Brad Quote

Brad Nah, just 350 dollars for two more 1/48's w/ fast packs is a lot to swallow. 250 would be much easier for many people. If I was rich, it wouldn't be an issue. Hence my sticking with my 1/60 M & M's. More than sufficient. Quote
