    Went with that one too, will pay it closer to release, or whenever I start to see the exchange rate going sour.
  2. Chronocidal
    Is this one supposed to have a release time on the various sites? Price is pretty high, but considering the Legioss was released when the exchange rate was very different, this isn't even that much more than what I remember paying then.
  3. Chronocidal
    Ok, not familiar with those bots, but what sort of product line were they released in? Something DX level, or more like a cheap and nearly disposable transformer? My real concern is that the MAXL is buried in at least four layers of niche fandom, and the fact that no one has even tried to make one in the past is very telling. I just don't think the fandom exists to make it pay off, and Bandai is nothing of not incredibly risk averse with Macross releases.
  4. Chronocidal
    I frankly do not trust anyone to even try and make the MAXL. I don't think anyone has ever been able to justify the investment for a design that funky, no matter how long it's gone without an actual transforming toy of any type.

    I'm okay with subtle tampo, but I also really don't want them splattering the logos all over any of them. The hard part is going to be balancing the details with the cartoony aesthetic Macross 7 ran with. The VF-19s never looked like real aircraft in the show, so I'm not sure realistic aircraft markings will look that great on them. I have seen good looking squadron markings and other sorts of insignias done well on the Emerald Force valks. I also have very little faith that Bandai would ever use something so sensible as just putting the modex numbers in logical places. Maybe they'll go with the Master File as a pattern? That wouldn't be too bad, but I still find the Emerald Force logo an eyesore just from how much it clashes with the colors of the actual planes. I'd really rather they just used a realistic tail code.

    I love these short scenes so much. They don't even need words, and still say so much.
  7. Chronocidal
    Ugh... the metallic is the worst part though.
  8. Chronocidal
    Well crap, looks like I'll have to figure out how to make the shops I bought mine from hold them to ship until next year.. Going to be out of contact while I help some family move.

    This is feeling like one of those cases where it feels like they should just leave it unpainted to keep the costs down, but maybe the costs are already high enough that they're just painting it to make it feel more worth the money? I don't know. The colors are really just obnoxious, and I have no idea why they would make them glitter. And frankly, isn't the entire point of this figure so you can put it inside the Regult? Why paint it at all, when one of the primary functions is just going to scrape it all off?

    Wow, Bandai. That's not even "New Hat" level. That's an alternate glossy feather for the hat.
  11. Chronocidal
    What are those, anyway? They.. kind of look like foil-wrapped chocolates like the bunnies you see around Easter.
  12. Chronocidal
    Oh good freaking grief.. yeah, I would absolutely believe they'll base popularity of transforming toys on those.. whatever they are.
  13. Chronocidal
    The folding/collapsing inner leg mechanism on the YF-19 is as overly complex as it is ingenious, but it comes with a couple of annoying detriments. Primarily.. I miss being able to extend the feet in fighter mode. I like displaying fighters standing on the feet vertically, it's just a nice way to save space. Otherwise though, I think that mechanism also contributes a little to how.. sloppy the arm alignment feels. It doesn't seem to line up well, and the arms don't feel solidly attached to anything in fighter mode. They just kind of float with the shield, and it means the gunpod is also sloppy.
  14. Chronocidal
    I just don't even want them to try it, I'm sick of having to screw with the crappy mechanisms they come up with to make the wings stay in place. I would crack up if they included VF-1 fast pack mounts for it though.
  15. Chronocidal
    Yeah, it definitely looks like they just blasted it with spotlights for that picture. Really not helping sell it.
