		<title>Yamato 1/60(V2.1) VE-1 ElintSeeker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Review: I&#8217;ve lost the beeps, the sweeps, and the creeps!


Packaging &#38; Extras: (4.5/5)
The packaging is a bit large but the super parts for the Elintseeker are pretty cumbersome so the box size seems sensible (nothing at all like the outrageous packaging of the V1 toy). This is another Yamato toy that seemingly comes packaged with [...]]]></description>

Review(updated): Where brilliant meets brittle

 

Packaging and Extras: (5/5)
Without a doubt Yamato did a fantastic job on both the package and the goods provided.  The missiles (both reaction and regular) take after the 1/48 in design but are more detailed and attach much more snuggly.  Similarly, the gun appears to be a shrunken 1/48 gun but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
Observations &#38; Critique: Remember that episode where Quamzin breaks Hikaru&#8217;s VF-1J&#8217;s arm off?


What most people are going to be curious about here is whether or not this toy comes with a strike cannon. It does not, as it should not, but that doesn&#8217;t mean it wouldn&#8217;t be nice if it did. Beyond that you get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Observations &#38; Critique: Picking up idols is easy with giant hands

 
This is my first 1/60 2.0 that didn&#8217;t come with fast packs of some variety and I was surprised to find the box is a bit larger than I expected, even larger than the original 1/60 packaging (not the version 1 VT-1, VE-1 packaging though, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yamato 1/60 (V2.1) Low Vis VF-1S Focker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Observations &#38; Critique: Nothin&#8217; says Low Visibility like bright yellow accents


Yamato has gotten much better with the size of their packaging over the years. While some may feel the package decorating is questionable it&#8217;s certainly tolerable (and I prefer under-stated to gaudy). The lack of a flip-top lid is only mildly regrettable. If you&#8217;re let [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yamato 1/60 (V2.1) VT-1 SuperOstrich</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Review: Misa, we need to start repopulating the Earth!


Packaging &#38; Extras: (4.5/5)
The packaging is small, well decorated, features a collector&#8217;s style flip-top lid, and the toy comes with everything you would expect a VT-1 to come with. Well, maybe not&#8230; maybe you&#8217;re that guy who is wondering where the training gun is that Hikaru tried [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yamato GNU YF-19 Upgrade Parts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Observations &#38; Critique: The last of the Mac+ Upgrades


I&#8217;ve mentioned before that all the upgrade parts come in the same box differentiated by a sticker. There are no upgrade parts made specifically for the VF-19A or VF-11B VF-X repaints. The YF-19 upgrade parts include leg shells, and abdomen, shoulders, and the various super parts. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yamato V2 1/60 Hikaru VF-1J with GBP Gift-set</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 

Review: Bulky, intimidating, and&#8230; fragile


Packaging &#38; Extras (4/5)
I think someone over at Yamato miscalculated when designing the trays.  My first impression upon picking the box up was &#8220;It seems swollen, like it&#8217;s ready to burst.&#8221;  I pulled the toys out and I&#8217;ve put them back in their box a few times now and sure enough, [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMs Brave Gohkin 1/18 Riding Figure Set</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Review: GI Joe!


Packaging &#38; Extras: (2/5)
Wow&#8230; this sure does give of an aura of &#8220;lame.&#8221; It costs roughly $30-$40 to pick up these toys and all you get is a box with two GI-Joe style figures with even fewer accessories than a GI Joe would come with. You get the two figures and six sets [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bandai DX Macross Quarter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Review: Less than 10% the cost of Yamato&#8217;s transforming capital ship toy


Packaging &#38; Extras (4.5/5)
The box is impressively large (see picture for dimensions) but it does come packed with goodness. There were two things that kept this packaging from a perfect score. First, there&#8217;s no collector&#8217;s style flip-top lid. Truth-be-told, I&#8217;m not really holding that [...]]]></description>
