Battlestar Galactica Discussion IV with Blood And Chrome
Graham replied to 505thAirborne's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I have the feeling that the only reason this movie project was given the green light was because of the runaway success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This is post 1977 all over again....hahaha. No doubt in the next few years, we'll see a who bunch of space opera movies, hoping to rake in some of the Star Wars dollars. -
I'm really curious how the radome folds up on the VF-31E and if Bandai will be able to implement it in the DX toy, or whether they will make it a parts-former and give us an open radome and a seperate part for the folded up radome. Also I really want to get a closer look at the FAST packs we glimpsed in the preview episode. I wonder if on the VF-31A, the opening storage in the backs on the legs hold micro-missiles instead of the boomerang drones. I hope so.
-
These look awesome. I'll skip the VF-1, as I'm all burnt out on classic Macross at the moment, but I'll definitely be up for the VF-31.
-
Hey, the VA-3 is awesome.
-
I'm definitely gonna be picking up 3 of these (1 each of Delta 01, 02 & 03). And also a VF-31A if Bandai make it. I'm definitely looking forward to these more than the Sv-262. My current plan is to only buy one Sv-262.
-
I'm still hoping that the left side of the charger pod is an offensive gunpod and not actually part of the charger system.
-
The boomerang drones are stored in the back of the Valk's lower legs, not in the charger pod
-
Completely agree, it's gorgeous. Graham Hope somebody can translate all that text ASAP.
-
Hey, it's winter now!
-
I'll definitely buy one each of 01, 02 and 03. 02 = best overall colour scheme + cool marking on the back, plus awesome kick ass combat pilot, only downside is the head design is not that great, but I'll keep it in fighter mode anyway, so who cares. 01 = cool marking on the back + best looking head, but so-so color scheme, cool pilot. 03 = Radome.......yay!

I'm with WM Cheng on this, Bandai VF-19 Advance all the way. The Arcadia really looks too unfinished in terms of lack of Tampo printing and lack of molded in detail and panel lines. I also totally agree the Arcadia's nose is too droopy. Too me, the Bandai just looks so much better and accurate to the line art, especially the side view fighter mode. Plus the Arcadia has too many annoying problems that don't make it a fun toy, such as the loose ankles and loose high speed mode wing hinge.

Bandai Macross Δ Mecha Collection Small Scale Plastic Model Kits
Graham replied to IXTL's topic in Model kits
Hmm..........I'm gonna wait to see if these are snap-fix and molded in the correct colors before ordering. I'm crap at painting and model building in general, so if these require paint and glue, I'm out. But at this price point, my expectations are not high. -
I've never needed to use the brace on my 30
-
No.
-
Pass on big Walkure figures for me, not into idol figures at all. But if Bandai released each VF-31 with an in-scale standing mini-figure of the pilot and the associated Walkure singer, I'd be up for that.
-
I have to be really bored or there's absolutely nothing else on TV to watch this show. I did try honestly, but they lost me at how they portrayed Deathlok in season 1. Graham

I've never had a problem with HLJ's packing, but then again, I'm not a person that cares about pristine, mint condition toy boxes, so I've never really paid much attention to HLJ's packing. I typically discard toy boxes, so I don't really care if they the toy box is received with minor scratches, scuffs, dents, tears etc as long as they are not too serious and the toy inside is fine. My main dislike with HLJ is how painfully slow they are to actually get your order out of the door once your order is in stock and paid for. I'm an impatient person, so that when something I want is available, I want it yesterday, Hence I'll generally pay for the fastest shipping method (finances allowing). If you pay for EMS/UPS/FedEx/DHL etc, rather than SAL, this should be a hint to the seller that you want to receive the goods ASAP. This is typically what we call "a clue". However, even after receiving payment HLJ typically takes their own sweet time to get the order out of the door. With most companies the'll typically ship within 1 - 2 days of receiving your payment (if goods are in stock). With HLJ they seem to take much longer to actually get the goods packed and out of the door.

As long as the Evolution Sylvie VF-2SS locks together tightly in at least one mode I'll be happy (first preference fighter mode, second preference battroid mode). To be honest, I don't have terribly high expectations for this toy, despite the high price point. I'm not a Gerwalk lover, so don't care about that mode and rarely display my toys in Gerwalk (although I understand it's in-universe usefulness from a tactical/practical standpoint). However, if the toy is a froppy mess in all modes, then I'll be cancelling my pre-order for the SAP version. I really hope the SAP version can lock together tightly in fighter mode, as that's how I'll display/play it. Graham
-
Still waiting for the news on the Hi-Metal VF-2SS with SAP. Honestly, I'm just so burnt out on anything that's SDFM TV or DYRL related.
-
For me, it was the actress that played Kyoko that was incredibly hot.

Don't know why so many of you are panicking about landing gear. All we've seen so far are likely early stage, non-transforming, non-articulated sculpts, rushed out on a 3D printer or maybe hand sculpted. I'm certain the finished toys will have functioning landing gear. This is just so much of a non-issue in my opinion, it's not even worth worrying about. Graham
-
I'm sure they will have landing gear. All we have seen so far, is obviously just an early version unfinished sculpt.
-
Yeah, but those pics could just be with the stickers applied.
-
Only way I'm buying this re-issue is if it has the following changes: 1) Get rid of the high speed mode. 2) Tighten or redesign the ankle joints. 3) Add the gunpod vents. 4) Add some more Tampo printed markings (doesn't have to be as many as Bandai, but at least more than now.
-
Still yet to see the first one..........LOL!
