  1. My feeling about the blue and white fighter is that it's definitely of the YF-30 pedigree but it appears to have a hull redesign/upgrade in a similar fashion to the 19's upgrade to the F/S/P/etc. variants. Similar but streamlined.
  2. I still don't get why everybody wants Bandai to make an SDF-1, while I enjoy the stuff they've made none of their valks are made with great looking plastic. Everything about the color and quality isn't as good, even if the engineering is more complicated (and their ankles actually work.)

    Doesn't look like they changed much of anything based on all of these pictures. Fighter and Gerwalk still look bad IMO. Good thing it'll be wearing armor in Battroid anyway. Though given the info about how they've cheated with some of the attachment points it doesn't sound like it will be as fun to pose as the vanilla VF-1's are.
  4. Is there a release date for this posted anyplace? Or have pre-orders gone up somewhere yet?

    I'm wondering why it jas taken HLJ five days and no word about shipping although they've happily taken my money. Also, what the price of the Regults will be. The color on my Max 1J looks really good.
  6. Regardless how many there are the Asuka deck display is a brilliant idea.

    We already know the relative size. The Toynami Regults were roughly 1/100 scale.
  8. I think I've asked Kicker what he does for work before, and I don't remember the answer, but I'd like to know if there are any openings available?
  9. Maybe instead of a sliding panel just use a swappable panel with pins in it or something? That would simplify moving parts. Or would that compromise in another way? It's funny, the idea you have here for the swappable HMM's was actually the only solution I could come up with when I asked you what it was you were trying to do.
  10. Except for me, I own three of them.
  11. I'm greedy, I want it all.
  12. I agree, someone else complained it was "jumping the shark" to use all of that referential material but I thought it was done really well.
  13. I've only seen the episode from last night but so far it seems decent.
  14. It proves nothing.
  15. What sorts of moving panels are coming up? I think everybody would vote for rubber wheels but whatever makes life easier for you (unless you're a perfectionist) is probably the smartest idea. You've done more than any of us here anyway. What do you mean by make mini-HMMs? Where would you put them? Aren't they all internal payload anyway?
  16. You probably should put those others into the group as well, because they're aren't niche. No, TRU doesn't sell Macross, because it's a niche product sold at niche stores. The collectors market is niche by definition, that makes the store niche as well. Niche fandom, market, item and store. Guess what, some of the Yamato/Arcadia/Bandai Macross toys are also listed on Amazon right now, does that suddenly make them mainstream because they're on the BIGGEST website on the planet? No, and everybody knows who Amazon are.
  17. Thank you. Great information for people to consider. I've mentioned several times that 3P can sell Transformers toys to a world wide market. I just didn't explain the concept of spreading costs around like you have here. There are so many more fans of that property out there that it's easy to spread costs around on larger runs. BBTS is niche dude, even if they sell some widely circulated things like Marvel Legends and Transformers. The store itself isn't know to the greater majority. Toys R Us, everybody knows Toys R Us. BigBadToyStore... only a small minority, even if it is a majority of collectors, still makes it niche.
  18. Dude, you're an absolute bad-ass!
  19. I humbly submit
  20. The Dx valks aren't really in scale. All of the 25's are a bit too small as well. Regardless, this design here is awesome and spot on.
  21. Custom GBP for 1A Max?

    Very cool, now the regult is something I've really been waiting for. I hope those knee joints hold up, looks like an interesting mechanism there.
