    oooo good topic. tough one. i can say its likely one of these macross wise...v2 1/60 vf-1j grey goggles with the GBP-1S (because vf-1j is my fav valk most days and why not have teh gbp option!), v2 vf-1-d, 1/48 stealth vf-1j, 1/48 roy dyrl with strike packs, yamato sdf-1......yeah SDFM/DYRL is still my jam. lol renewal vf-25s ozma with heavy armor is up there too though....as is 25G super non macross wise...i love optimus and mp-10 is pretty nice. boring answer i know. i sooo had a chance to buy that for not that much money (retial or slightly less) and totally regret not! i do wish arcadia would do that deco on a vf-1. sdfm or dyrl?

    tracks IMO was one of the best G1 carbots and his MP representation looks great. only compliants are undresized overhead weaponry and no toy inspired gun (it was special on the toy...fit over the hand).

    thanks...was waiting on hlj...

    yeah i have a feeling someone on this very board has something very much to do with SpinOut btw. i don't care if Takara is making one....they haven't announced one yet and who knows when they will get around to it. Spinout looks good so i'm gonna get it.

    yeah that hulkbuster looks fricken awesome. not sure about $850 awesome but...if was making tons and tons of dough i'd probably get it. for now lego hulkbuster will have to do lol

    spanner you are giving me some horrible ideas. all of a sudden i feel like i need a "backup" one or two....if the price was lower i think i'd double dip but nah...i barely got myself into getting this. i think i'll be happy enough with one..looks awesome in all 3 modes like that
  7. Mechapilot77
    that is a lot for a valk. can't wait to until the 0S and 0A come out!
  8. Mechapilot77
    totally forgot about this..gah.. if anyone in the US bought one too many and woudln't mind selling to me at his or her cost....PM me please. If that doens't pan out i'll wait unti release and hope for availability. Thanks.
  9. Mechapilot77
    yup, everythign one could expect or want in a toy like that...given the design of the mecha. i'll get flamed for this but i think it lacks inspiration.

    its isamu overload...the isamu color yf-29 was largely believed to be a foil for arcadias yf-19. with bandai's own yf-10 advance isamu coming out...many people are probably not wanting too many isamu's? my guess.
  11. Mechapilot77
    there is no excuse for the color....you can't blame that on "mass market". you also can[t even call this "mass market"...its a niche collectors piece not a $20 voyager class (or evem $80 MP release) TF. it was simply a decision some of us didn't agree with. Bandai valks are like $150 on preorder for a plain jane valk. also you talk as if arcadia won't be a QC mess....fact is we don't know yet for this release and their prior releases QC wise seem to be a little step down from the latter yamato days. u also can't compare retail prices to aftermarket "desperation" prices of 2013. ridiculous comparison. either way, this valk is on the pricey side like all arcadia offerings so far. i woudln't call it oto much but i woudlnt' call it a great rpice either. if teh dollar and yen were what they were 2-3 years ago we'd be screaming at this nearly $400 valk.
  12. Mechapilot77
    hopefully there will be plenty to go around at release. not staying up for this nonsense...even if it is a nice color.
  13. Mechapilot77
    its far from perfect but i want it. 18" of devy. box art coloring is wacked...worse than TFC's hecules. glad the actual toys are color correct. noi'mnodavehingtentenanyonecanseethis
  14. Mechapilot77
    looks nice...not going thru preorder madness for it though. if its available at release at Ny for decent price i'll grb it....otherwise....nope.
  15. Mechapilot77
    damn i slept on the 1/48 x wing and now hlf is out of stock. wonder if gundam planet will carry it for a decent price.
  16. Mechapilot77
    exactly. material cost (plastic resin pellets and powders, fillers etc) is hardly a major driving factor of cost. also with crude oil is WAY back down...plastic prices should follow anyway. its disingenuous at best. if he were a better liar, he'd have blamed rising labor costs...because that is actually real. that being said...still doesn't justify the 2X price. the real driving factor for the selling price is target margins.
  17. Mechapilot77
    eerily realistic. wow. blown away. its nice that 3zero is getting some nice licenses. they are still rasonably priced for 1/6 and not insane like hot toys. lets hope the success doesn't go to their heads.
  18. Mechapilot77
    it looks pretty good but who knows when it will be out if ever. its also IMO modernized take on voltron so purists may balk. i do kinda doubt they can top the unofficial madtoys one as everyon rave about how that feels in hand. the overall sculpting of this does look nice even if i think the details could be finer. considering they want $140 for a reissued potentially fixed tiny alpha fighter i'm scared to think on what they'd ask for this...
  19. Mechapilot77
    Interesting it's Gonna be all ABS plastic. If they've taken a look at their materials and revamped some tooling perhaps the crumbly hands and broken arms will no longer be an issue. Aesthetically there are sill issues with the toy in fighter mode... Still if mpc alphas didn't breeks like they did or held their arms up better I think collectors would love them. I half think the designs were meant to be plastics to begin with (pure speculation). I wish a good 3p company would tackle legioss in like a 1/40 or so scale ...1/55 is just too small IMO. It's a shame the cms version was kind of a mess too.
  20. Mechapilot77
    sounds like a plan. btw..you aren't getting one? or is this another misb one for you? haha
  21. Mechapilot77
    that magnus looks awesome BUT again...another large magnus with no waist joint! gah!! still it looks awesome for a mainline figure. mp magnus is very plain in comparison. it honestly may BE the better toy..we'll see i guess. i'm still butthurt at no white prime plus armor. lol. the leader class seems to be a great interpretation of idw magnus
  22. Mechapilot77
    getting excited for these!! the colors seem to look different depending on lighting conditions. i think if anyone is expecting a very light grey bottom they will be dissapointed. the blue really seems to photo differently based on light temperature. my lighting is either natural or warm though...no CFL bulbs for me so i think it'll look pretty good. i do wish they did a grey ont eh bottom too...although i woudn't want the DYRL grey (which IMO was never grey but more like off white..very light beige almost). regardless of fnal colors i want this bad! makes me want to watch zero again. i think back whenit came out i watched it online somewhere...no idea where to watch it now.
  23. Mechapilot77
    anyone get these? are the new releases really different plastic? that was one of the worst parts about the old releases IMO. the softish plastic adn the joints that want to come apart (which you can put right back together but still).
  24. Mechapilot77
    dammit anyone know how to get this to the states? at that price i want at least two!
  25. Mechapilot77
    i think a bundle would not make sense. being how expensive the vf-0s already will be (assumign its like the 0d)...i can't see a bundle package..at least not right away. i'd be pissed if i spent almost 300 on a valk...then have teh bundle package available for $400 with no option to buy it "a la carte".
