  1. Yamato would have five sales from me if they made those four other schemes.
  2. I hate decaling the glossy valks.
  3. Also because most of us didn't want the other VF-19's in gloss either but because of Basara we were stuck with it on all of the variants.
  4. I don't understand, what did you tweak on the leg? I still have my Max 1J MPC that I leave in the armored up, tank-like Gerwalk just because.
  5. Man, I had my finger on the button for another one when Yamato reissued these and I hesitated. The next day they were all gone. A second one to pose in fighter would have been good to have (plus I could redo the decals that I effed up on my first one.)
  6. I agree, I've wanted both of those as well. But with Arcadia's stance of not doing many repaints I wonder how many, if any, repaints of the YF-19 they would even attempt? The VF-1, there was at least a few repaints that could work. But outside of SDFM and Frontier there's a distinct lack of run-away popular characters from the animations that would allow for repaints. We think the game paint schemes are cool... we might be the only ones. I don't think anybody wants this gloss.
  7. Shipping was $28 via EMS from Nippon-Yasan. Done with the speculating on box size and fretting about shipping now? Good. Move on.
  8. Good point. I'm still not sure they're willing to take that risk though.
  9. I think the double nuts and the orange one sold pretty slow. I know they were released and I eyed them for months, maybe even a year, before I finally decided to pull the trigger on a double nuts. On the other hand, after people got hold of them and posted pictures it seemed like others became more interested in the schemes and started seeking them out. Maybe some different variants would sell better? Maybe the VFX version would sell better? Maybe the Double Nuts didn't sell as well because it didn't look like the Prototype Version and was instead a relatively lazy repaint?
  10. We've had this discussion going in another thread about Arcadia limiting their repaints because they lost money as Yamato but... what are the odds they'll attempt a repaint or two of the YF-19? Is just Isamu's enough? Seems like a waste of a mold for just that one scheme.
  11. I think it's amusing that Arcadia has become gun shy about releasing too many paint scheme variants when Yamato pretty much set the standard for every variant under the sun. Meanwhile Bandai is releasing a 25CF after releasing a 171CF. It's bizarro world. Also all of Bandai's CF's are exploding...
  12. Smart, now I can keep Tenjin's art and throw away that damn box.
  13. This looks great. I see no indication Gerwalk has been fixed, however.
  14. If I buy it I'm opening it.
  15. Quoting davidwhangchoi who translated, "Mr. K on his twitter said all future releases will have raised prices to keep their business afloat."
  16. I wish I had grabbed myself one of those Regults. I was intimidated by the model aspect of it at the time.
  17. Yamato hasn't had shoulder problems in years. Obviously they had to increase the price to not lose money, there's nothing they can do about that, but they're including Waterslide decals and a stand, two things many people have wanted them to do to compensate for the issue. It's unfortunate, as when I started collecting I'm not sure I would have jumped at that price like I did for my $120 1A with Fast Packs, on the other hand it's not a charity. If they weren't selling at a profit then that as they say is that.
  18. I haven't heard of anyone with an alto having issues.
  19. Have you tried to transform it?
  20. So what are these things? For keychains or something?
  21. Hmm, I should have bought myself a Milia 22S when I had the chance. I was never sure I liked the color but this pic really shows off the nice contrasts between her 1J and 22S and Max's 1J with his 22S. Oh well.
  22. I am this close to grabbing a second 17S and attempting my own Milia custom right now. It wouldn't be as close to cannon as your red is but I'd likely attempt a red that's more akin to her 1J though. Of course if I did that I'd have to go back and find another 17D so I could make a teal custom as well...
  23. I don't own the game or a Playstation 3 so all I have to go on is that screen shot.
  24. Hmm, I like that red but I don't. Do I dare buy another 17S and attempt my own? I'd like to see it in other modes personally but I don't want to you damage the paint if you don't want to.
