    hmm well i have Figuarts Vader and he is short...like BS stormtrooper height. kylo being as tall as figuarts vader....sounds lik ea good thing though. i don't think Ren is the towering giant vader is supposed to be. Ren is probably abou the height of a trooper so that'd work for me. i have a few FO troopers but havent' deboxed them yet. i do mix figuarts and BS troopers from the OT. gives soem variation. works well enough for me. i am using mafex vader right now which has a godo seze.

    kids logic....an hk brand so i guess they HAD to use robotech. anything outside japan is HG's territory....or if its not legally they will claim it is and sue you. can't say it doens't; look good but can't say i want a 1/6 static fig hikaru either. give me an SH figuarts SDFM macross cast bandai! cmon already. or maybe figma....so long as jp brand for distribution in jp we can avoid giving HG money.

    it is inconsistent because of a few things 1. different designers, out of the mentioned figures in your post there are at least 3 lead designers 2. budget...budget (or rather margine requirement and targeted sales price) is inconsistent from release to release. 3. ramped up production...they are pushing more out and paying less attention. i also think hasbro asia has WAY more sway in the MP line than before..like a lot more. 4. lack of visionary management

    imagining having a glaug, some regults, AND valks and destroids in the same scale for the first time ever in toy form is REALLY exciting me. haha. yeah that NY payment thing is a bummer but i get that these are exclussives the shops have to put special orders in for so i'm okay so long as they can deliver.

    yup ever since i saw his red eyes i remembered how they handled that character in smallville....granted different people behind the scenes but when i think red eyes, law enforcement officer, dc universe, african american....i think that guy
  9. Mechapilot77
    yeah lag packs will cover it most of the time but it'd still better if it were there.
  10. Mechapilot77
    did you glue that in place? no way my might blocks could hold like that.

    seems they are aware of the leg/hip issue as those are the right parts laid out there to be showing. hopefully whatever fix they put in place works. honestly....i think all they need to do is fix the ball half size and/or shape. its a VERY simple part. you could hard tool that (on a separate mold of course and at a cost of a few thousand bucks in china) in less than 2 weeks time. lets hope they did retool that and ALSO that we dont' get any old versions mixed in the build. if they have any quality systems at all that would be a very amateiur mistake to make.

    post release ona hero valk vf-1s hikaru....i'd sign up to be notified by NY. sometimes they get previously out of stock stuff back in. has happened many times with previusly hard to get bandai items. although when they get them in stock..some other retialers do too sometimes so when you get noitfied...check all the usual suspects.
  13. Mechapilot77
    skywarp's new droids? yes that was botha TF and SW reference on a macross site's robotech merch thread. lol
  14. Mechapilot77
    i understand that sentiment but...the fix looks easy so i'm not going to sweat that issue too much.
  15. Mechapilot77
    wonder if the vf-0A will go on sale. i know about the issues but if the price is right...then again part of me wants to just focus on sdfm and dyrl...as far as macross.
  16. Mechapilot77
    webbed/ribbed/hollow forearm and thighs...cant stand it. cover that crap up hastak. i'd rather you include one less accessory and use that money for another few pieces that would give us the traidtional "clamshell" type limb vs. open/webbed limbs. that kind of design killed leader jetfire for me. i can't believe it it even made its way over to mp wheeljack (granted it was very limitd in use thank god). please stop wtih that nonsense. k thnx

    its like reading a TFW board discussion here these days here. "QC" has nothing to do with plastic type or quality. that is something that is a design consideration. an engineering print will call out explicitly the type, grade, etc of plastic. any change to a specification on the print would require an engeinering change notice. the only exception is if one thing is specified on the print and another thing is actually used in real life and nobody checked to make sure there was conformance. the vf-0 issue seems to be a bad design as well. they've simply designed something that is too hard to actually make work over a statistically significant population. reading about their "yields" has me doubt their design prowess more than the factory's competence. as far as the VF-4, if nothing in the design/tooling has changed, i doubt we will suddenly see big vf-0 like problems.

    hlj shipping will likely be at least $10 cheaper for same EMS so the difference is ~$20. i'm more comfortable with hlj but have used NY a lot for bandai stuff without issue...but i idn't have issues with the toys
  19. Mechapilot77
    Hmm what is a V1 VF-25S with heavy armor box set complte worth? it was displayed. box probably has some wear or damage but the toy is fine. i know its not a renewal but its still a nice piece. What do people think thats worth around these parts?
  20. Mechapilot77
    i am selfishly (hoping) thinking the response to that (optimus primal) announcement is below their expectations and they have decided to cancel that and focus on real transformers from g1. lol
  21. Mechapilot77
    well its not a bandai product....
  22. Mechapilot77
    the iniformation of a SAP bundle....who still would want the stand alone if the SAP can be purchased separately? hmm...perhaps the SAP only comes with a different valk? i guess this is good news for those still wanting this. hope it gets better....
  23. Mechapilot77
    don't see the point of the bape partnerships....this one and the previous green one...IMO...way to wear down a great mold for no reason. YOTH prime is a more attaractive deco even than these...granted this one isn't nearly as bad as the green one.
  24. Mechapilot77
    yup i found that to be odd on my matchbox sdf-1 as a kid even.
  25. Mechapilot77
    looks good. i'm in for a at least one. i mean TV SDF-1 doesn't seem like anyone else is gonna make those. yamato's was a dyrl and bandai's giant one is too
