    which are you more attached to? i say get the vf-1d, wait for a vt-1 reissue. the vf-1d 30th anny set is as good as that vf-1d will get. a vt-1 if reissued will have better shoulders. then you'd have to paint the shapeways parts to match...this isn't a white or offwhite valk so the shapeways ones won't even sort of look right without matching paint.

    Wasn't the Vf-1 $155-160ish or was that the prorder discount? i don't remember, think i paid ~$180 shipped shipped. Guess i had mixed preorder pricing up with MSRP. Also, those were build to order. If this is a general release I assume it will be slightly cheaper than it would be if it were a build to order. So yo're 250 drops to say 225 (as a guess) for non build to order? Add in a preorder discount and its within shouting distance of $200 before shipping?

    true but he is too obviously a roy derivative character IMO. they were like lets take everybody's favorite guy and let him not die and make him more macho and "complex". i wish he was more different.

    i hope you're right but the VF-0 is a much bigger valk than a vf-1...how much did arcadia want for thos again? $160ish msrp. $200 or less seems reasonable but we'll see.

    looks good. the yf-29 is truly bandai's vf-1 now. lol. with all these repaints coming out almost makes me wish i hadn't sold my alto scheme one so i could have "completeness"....but then again that scheme was truly meh. every one since then has been better by far. does that say its coming out in may? so soon after spluring for the yf-19....don't know if i'll get it.

    is it an actual takara release? or a hasbro asia issue of the takara release? i have a feeling if you see it at bbts and tfs but not say hlj, amiami, or other jp based etailers than it is a hasbro asia release (much like the recent mp-11 reissue was a hasbro asia release of the takara version as well as the recent hasbro asia takara version mp-10 reissue that included a stand (not in box but separate). i could be wrong but that is my guess

    i dunno. see, i'm the opposite. if they put ou ta $300 g1 styled trypticon of the same quality as genesis i'd get it. the WFC design, not so much. a trex shouldn't have huge arms. lol. i dunno loved the old dumb version of him. anyway, for people like you i hope they do put it out as omega needs a sparring buddy.

    Yeah i'm in the "that is TOTALLY a VF-0D" camp. not a question in my mind. If they do a 0D, can a 0S (and 0A) with some shared parts and engineering be far behind? i'm in for the blue 0D and the CF repaint (which DOES totally look better IMO)! lucky we have until 2015 to save up though. a little disappointed it is so far out but happy i have time to save for them. Does this mean we either the market will only bear 1 major new mold a year or that arcadia doens't have the resources to make more than 1 major new mold (hopefully we'll get a retooled 0S from this 0D the same year) a year? personally i thought they'd go full on mac plus renewals (The YF-21 and VF-11B are still so good though) but this is welcome news.

    i have a sv-51 nora. i'd say the vf-0 is quite a bit less floppy than the nora.

    As amazing and awesome as the planet x genesis is, i just don't like the WFC/FOC aesthetic enough to pay 3P prices. i hope for their sake the game has tons of rabid fans because the two items they released so far are totally on point. just amazing. i just wished they worked on stuff i like. lol.
  12. Mechapilot77
    btw good observation about the sticker sheet genius! M&M cant be far off. DAmmit i should have sold my set at the height of the craziness! lol. I'm definitely getting another set if they are released.
  13. Mechapilot77
    i would say if you are a fan of the design...get it....and yes get a "safer" release without the exploding shoulders issue. No telling when or if Arcadia will revisit Zero. Are there lots of Zero fans in Japan? IMO the VF-0 is among the best fighter designs in the macross universe and i love the look of the battroid too. Keep in mind though with the the toy this is a PRE VF-1 V2 yamato toy. Its a "second generation" effort i'd say. not up to the standards of a v2 VF-1, but I'd say the build quality (minus the known issues) is somewhere close to a 1/48 . That said I own both a "fragile" one and a "safe" one, both are still whole. that being said the toy COULD use an update. I'd accept a V1 VF-0 into my collection in a heartbeat.

    sweet. guess i'll be looking for a package in the mail next week or so. space crabby here we come!
  15. Mechapilot77
    that may be the most ignorant thing you've ever said. every sentence is fraught with fail

    had no idea 6 can be read as mu...clever indeed. i knew 1-3 for some reason and i knew roku from initial D (hachi roku ). bit of triviea...the roku streaming device is the 6th company the guy who started it created.

    awesome, the other day when i said iwas off to amazon...thats exactly what i bought. lol. got it yesterday, will experiment a tiny bit this weekend. finally going to see a benefit (aside form cost) of having a detolf over one of those more expensive and awesome shelves....tthose metal rods are gonna get used! the only other time i used its is when i tied a small figure's hand to it to make it look like he was hanging from a railing and shooting down at a much bigger figure (revoltech prime vs. tfc hercules if you're curious). oh and yeah i totally am taking the shelves off to do this. tons easier i'd think.
  18. Mechapilot77
    yup i think a simplied interior/hollow interior version would sell well since they could hit a price point people could accept. they do need to give the thing better, stiffer joints though. that would be the uiltimate insult if a simpliied hollowed out one couldn't hold poses well!
  19. Mechapilot77
    yeah if this was a traditional kit or even a finished toy it would have been LESS than the limited production HDP kit. But even at less than $400 they figured they couldn't get enough sales to make production tooling worth it so they went low production, high price is my guess. i woud love for them to reevaluate the business case for a full production kit/toy or toy/kit of the regult. the design could be based on this one with some necessary changes for higher production more toy friendly kit. to make it cheaper they can reduce the size maybe....even if they reduced the scale to 1/65 or 1/72 it'd look "big enough" next to a 1/60 valk. ideally 1/60 would be nice though.
  20. Mechapilot77
    simply stunning!!!!
  21. Mechapilot77
    always wondered if that would work....guess i don't need to wonder anymore. off to amazon i go for some fishing line....
  22. Mechapilot77
    agree except for the 3 separate releases. just release the missile racks etc. as add ons sort of like a set of fast packs. maybe a second release in DYRL colors.
  23. Mechapilot77
    wheeljack looks glorious!!! it's perfect almost the flaps around his fists are supposed to be on the bottom and no the side but i guess its shown both ways? either way its awesome. however, if ever there were a need for a light up gimmick its him but since its carbot size and pricepoint we won't get it. any third party ppl listening? get on this pronto!!! i don't need his lunchbox even if do remember that episode so i preordered 2 at AE... i figure if i really want it later i can pick one up off ebay like every other amazon special pack in.
  24. Mechapilot77
    sooooo awesome! i'm filled with both appreciation and regret (for not having bought the sucker when it came out).
  25. Mechapilot77
    am i the only one that doesn't like the "macross the 1st hikaru" paint scheme? that minmay guard hoax (it was a custom) needs Fast packs but pretty nice otherwise.
