I don't consider it elitist. I also have to pace myself but I don't collect much else.
-
To be fair they've stopped writing the Cap as this ridiculous caricature of American jingoism. He hasn't been written that way in years...but you can sorta make that argument about Ultimates Cap I guess...

As a person who also has ancestry in a 3rd world communist country but has lived in the US since he was but a wee little tyke, I find this fascinating. Let the guy flog his comic.

Where are people getting "elite" from? Probably not the right term in this case. I sure as shi_t wouldn't be collecting a bunch of Valks as a status symbol of my place in society if I was elitist. Most of us likely don't make any more money than you guys anyway. Just like you, we know where to budget our money and what we have to give up in order to pursue our hobby. Some people prefer to buy ten cheaper Transformers every month and that's fine. Others prefer to skip all of those and get one Masterpiece every four or five months. How is that elitist? Just give me a quality piece every so often and I'm happy. Yamato or Bandai. I happen to prefer Yamato because they built something with me in regards to MACROSS over the better part of a decade where Bandai has not.

It's some FNG, I believe...
-
...oops, wrong thread.
-
Sorry, Bandai did dogshit with the other Macross licenses. They did SOMETHING with the Frontier license though.

19p in my private warehouse! I regret nothing! Was gonna buy one anyway.
-
Damn you guys! Making me all paranoid... I just ordered a 19P too

What are your favorite VFs/YFs/VBs/RVFs?

Whatever...I'll take it! Shenanigans or not -

Oh, man! I didn't even notice that. I'm happy the VF-2SS even ranks cause I love that thing too. -
I like the way you think! I'm on the verge of preordering whatever this is as well

VF-1S Focker is numba 1! I knew Macross fans had some taste -
I don't collect many figures of characters but I would go whole hog on Misa figures
-
Relax, man! I think exactly one guy said that he might cancel and he mistakenly thought it was a full on JRPG. There's a few of us who aren't exactly excited about the JRPG aspects of the game (whatever extent it may be). No need for the diatribe...it's ok! Never heard "pussified" used in that context before but there's a first for everything
-
It's a nice sentiment and all. Wish I could stick to these types of ideals sometimes...but I think we all fuc*ked up sending a message to the powers-that-be by buying them anyway. I don't think there's gonna be any landfills of unbought edited DYRL Blurays out there. That's my jaded take on it anyway.
-
If they ever release an unedited version on Bluray, I'll probably end up double dipping like a sucker anyway...my Macross addiction is a problem
-
Yeah. That's a really good price and Yesasia is legit. If you wanna save some money I don't see a better deal right now.
-
Hahahah! Oh, man
-
I'm not excited about RPG anything because I've grown to despise most JRPGs in general plus I can't really read much Japanese. However, I'll deal because it is Macross and I get to fly around Valks in 720p or 1080p...whichever resolution it is.
-
That's my guess too. They probably send one of their employees out buying up stock from the local toy and hobby shops for these things and then mark them up from whatever price they paid for em.
-
Man, so many mixed experiences with these stands. I'd rather play it safe and not ruin a $200+ toy though
-
Instant ramen or real ramen? I love both too
-
Yes, it might
-
I'm being facetious for the most part (still looking forward to this game because...MACROSS) but less cooler...YES! REALLY!
