    I like the boxart....I'll pick one up on discount at a US retailer if it goes below the jpy msrp....

    Not only is it fugly....it's also pre-yellowed....so you can immediately fast forward to your eventual dissapointment...

    Apologies accepted, Captain Raikkonen...

    Is there something new about these? The KC LV's have been out since December last year....a LV VF-1J...or at least a freebie "head" unit....might be interesting...
  5. jvmacross
    Probably not....but the sculptor may have been inspired by a Super VF-1 shown in the MtF manga...
  6. jvmacross
    I would like to see one done using Yamatos....a proper MtF custom...

    Just went through the new Disney lighting lane multi/single pass process for WDW and I was very impressed....I had a bad feeling that Disney was going to mess up on its first day of roll-out...but it actually went very smoothly.... Not only was I able to get everything I needed...but I also was able to get everything I wanted....initial ride picks for each park and park hops are all setup with the times I needed to coincide with my lunch and dinner reservations.... I had already mentally prepared myself to get up each day of my visit to pick all my rides using Genie+ and then had a feeling of dread when they announced that Genie+ would get lauched today just a few days before our trip is to start...luckily I already knew what parks and rides I was going to go for...so getting all that done ahead of my trip was an unexpected bonus!... With that said....Still need to snag our virtual queues for the few rides that are still available....not going for those free virtual queues, under the current pay to play system, is like leaving 100's of dollars on the table....at least that is how I see it....luckily they are fairly easy to snag...at least they were the last few times we have been at WDW....

    FIrst requirement.....FAILED Second requirement.......FAILED (mostly), clearly it will take a second season to 'clean' this up...but with the last second 'reveal' the hole just got dug deeper.... Final requirement...........PASSED (sort of)...too bad that a show sold to everyone as a 'Sith' series took 8 episode out of 8 total in the series to finally reveal what I can only assume was Darth Plagueis...or at minimum the actual Sith pulling the strings..... I feel that if they had just wiped the entire cast clean by the end of the series' Season 1, it could have then started a good ALL SITH Season 2 or it could have just ended somewhat reasonably.....eliminating the Witch Mountain ladies was a good start....but now that our little green friend is involved, it just makes things even more muddled.....so many new plot holes with just that last second reveal....and worst of all, if there is no Season 2....now the line about no Sith seen for a millenium is at best just another 'certain point of view' remark....maybe Disney will take one from the George Lucas playbook and retcon the line.....'There hasn't been a confirmed encounter with the Sith for a Millenium'...LOL

    Well, for a brief few seconds, I had hope this would have went in the right direction to keep the series as one self-contained story...but NOPE...

    I can see many companies failing with this approach....you can't just dismiss the competition, especially if they have a better product....perhaps your company is at the top of their niche so maybe you are looking down at the competition most of the time, but I am sure someone in your company still is 'looking' nonetheless to avoid getting surprised and outdone.... As for the direct successor, I was referring to the 1/60 Yamato VF-1 not the 1/48 Yamato VF-1 (which is technically further back in the 'DX' chain of VF-1 evolution)....and yes, the Bandai DX is better at the moment, but not by as much as one would expect after 10+ years of the Yamato V2's introduction)...again, irrelevant of scale
  13. jvmacross
    From Bandai's point of view....I guess...they only want to consider their own merch when making such a proclamation...still, would that mean they consider their own HCM as a step backwards? LOL... But in terms of the entirety of "DX" VF-1's produced as a category...I'd say the current Bandai DX is a direct successor to the Yamato VF-1....and it's not even that giant of a leap forward IMO....

    Cinemark popcorn bucket...
  15. jvmacross
    So now that we know Bandai has no issues with releasing DX VF-1's w/SSP combo sets...will we see the M&M VF-1J's before we get the VE-1? And which one will be retail vs Tamashii Web?

    I would have grabbed a backpak if it had the SDF-1 graphic like the t-shirt....instead grabbed the SDF-1 baseball cap... https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scode=GOODS-04507532&page=rt_02&_gl=1*vrrcrd*_ga*NjE0OTUwNzE5LjE3MTc0MjAwNDU.*_ga_80SCWMLC86*MTcyMTEwMDA0Ni41LjEuMTcyMTEwMDE2Ni4wLjAuMA..

    Everything is more or less very easy to get these days....this one to me does not feel as special as the original 1/55 VT-1...actually nothing since the Yamato VF-1 V1 actually feels like anything special for me....it's probably a combination of nostalgia and the difficulty in acquiring the original 1/55 outside of Japan during the mid 80's....back then there was no internet or instant payments via Paypal....we had mail order catalogs and paid via checks and money orders and somehow it worked! That's how it was and we liked it....we loved it!
  18. jvmacross
    understood, but the end results cannot be different....for example...if a specific character dies....how can he/she be both dead and alive....I guess what I am trying to say is that in the end, based on what has been written, their clearly is a side that 'wins'...regardless of what happens before 'they' get to sit on the Iron Throne
  19. jvmacross
    Isn't the entire story and how it all plays out already determined? It's not like GoT where the ending was not really following a book...or am I missing something?
  20. jvmacross
    I like the SDF-1 image and t-shirt color....
  21. jvmacross
    Who is the vendor you bought your YF-21 from?
  22. jvmacross
    That's what I was thinking too...seems red hulk is bigger and stronger just based on the poster...anyways, looks good to me so far
  23. jvmacross
    And just to make sure no one forgets...everything....unlimately leads to the sequel trilogy.... Even the post-Skywalker Saga by default will just technically be a new 'Skywalker' Saga thanks to one Rey Skywalker.... Star Wars needs to time skip a thousand or more generations back or forward....
  24. jvmacross
    It's probably the "English" label....guessing other non-Japanese markets may have similar stickers in different languages....the other stickers are the same across both Japanese and international releases...unless Bandai takes it to another level and produces different colored "Macross" license stickers to denote which market the item is designated to be sold in... Still...it is just the box....there is nothing to stop someone from buying an international version and swapping into it their damaged Japanese purchased version....then claiming the international item arrived damaged....so far there is no evidence that there are differences between the actual toys....at least not that I am aware of...
  25. jvmacross
    Is Red Hulk bigger/stronger than the Hulk we have seen in the MCU so far? I have no background knowledge of any of these characters...so just hoping for a fun spectacle....
