I for one welcome the fact that these figures aren't instantly sold out. Makes collecting so much less of a hassle. Ended up switching from cdjapan to HLJ for that sweet FedEx shipping (at very reasonable pricing too).

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
Archer replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Just went ahead and paid the mild scalper price for an F91 on eBay. Didnt want to lose this like I did the MB Strike Freedom. Did let go of my MB 00 on HLJ to balance things out, so maybe one of you guys will see it pop up. -
I imagine the shield and micro launcher bits are color matched, so we'll probably get CF colored ones down the line?

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX

Has Gundam (unless we're counting UC) ever had a season 3 proper? I suppose seed destiny could count, but wasn't that because seed was insanely (and still is) popular in Japan? I wonder if IBO has reached that level of popularity... -
+1 Everytime I transform a valk for the first time, I always feel like I'm gonna break something. Can't even describe the terror that was pulling open the cannon on the dx vf-31. I imagine this will be even more stressful.

Got a PO in for the SV-262 at CDJapan. Thanks to whoever canceled and thanks to late night studying for keeping me up!
-
Anywhere left to grab one besides eBay? These videos aren't good for my wallet....

Wow, what a unique transformation.

I think they'll use convenient plot device (mobile armors) to quickly thin Rustal's forces. -
Yeah, I can imagine. Not to de-rail the thread further, but the complexity of these ride armors puts most valks to shame. I wouldn't be surprised if the R/D and manufacturing costs didn't leave room for much profit. I'm somewhat surprised that the Toynami deal didn't bolster their profits though...

Don't encourage people while I'll on the prowl for one

How might one purchase a VF-0D from yahoo auctions? I'm desperately trying to hunt one down right now, and don't mind paying a premium.

It is good info though. I haven't yet used the system in handheld mode, so I was not aware the screen was plastic (!). It prompted me to grab some glass screen protectors. Even if Nintendo did a plastic screen on purpose so it doesn't shatter with drops, it's strange that they couldn't put some soft material for the rails instead of hard plastic. Alternatively, they could have designed a much more secure fit than the wobbly dock fit we have now. I actually don't find it that bad. In fact, I kind of enjoy for the sole purpose that it makes me switch up my play style. It is just one opinion, but I absolutely feel this game is deserving of that 98. It's been a long time since a game this fun has come around for me. Even witcher 3 wasn't this enjoyable.

I haven't got my set yet, but I was wondering if the VF-0's hips can handle the weight of the RA when the hips are extended. Can one of you guys speak to this? In the collectionDX review, the whole chest appeared a bit wobbly after Veef extended the hips. However, to achieve some of those mean looking poses in Dengeki Hobby, you definitely need hip extension. Just don't want to wear the hips down prematurely from the weight.
-
Went ahead an ordered some tempered glass screen protectors. I absolutely loathe using screen protectors, but I loathe scratches on the screen even more. A little disappointed that Nintendo went with plastic instead of glass (didn't even need to be Gorilla glass either).
-
I think they might have needed to make the shoulder armor that wide to keep it proportional with the chest piece (which itself is rather bulky). ymmv, but I like this interpretation. I feel that the "slimmer" models out there can do so because they can afford a slim battroid profile since they don't transform.

It was definitely the mobile suit arm, which got pile-driver'd off by Mika. I think it was the left arm, which is why you may have overlooked it. -
Had a weekend off to play Zelda. Wasted a lot of that time just trying out various recipes for cooking The game is an absolute blast to play. Unfortunately, my switch's b button is rather unresponsive (need to hard press it before it registers a click, which means that in games like Zelda, i'll be running and randomly stop midway through the stamina bar falling; in menus, it takes 2 or 3 taps to get the button to actually register and back out of a sub-menu). Unfortunately, right now, seems Nintendo requires you to ship the whole unit back for them to "repair" it, even if it's just the joycon. Who knows how long that will take. Ended up purchasing an extra right joycon and eating the cost Atleast I have that blue/grey combo I wanted now
-
Picked up the reactive armor on amiami, as well as a VF-0S on Jungle (lucky find too, at a really good price of 32k yen). This is a dream piece for me, considering M0 is my introduction (and favorite) to the Macross series. I was disappointed Yamato never made a RA, but I'm glad Arcadia took up the job (bulky proportions aside).
-
What would the going rate be on a CLAT edition of the 1/24 Yamato patlabor? I can currently get one for around $350. Is this a fair price (considering these patlabors are rather rare)? The other option would be an Ingram Unit 1 (Alphonse) with scratched head and loose waist joint for a significantly higher $450.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002

Anywhere left to get in on the F91 Metal Build pre-order? I don't even mind paying somewhat up-marked rates if it means securing one before this goes the way of the metal build strike freedom. -
Yep, thanks for the warning. I did notice a sharp edge that rubs against the shoulders when you originally rotate them. No paint chipping on mine, but I'm gonna be careful when approaching future transformations.
-
Thanks, I just transformed for the first time. Seriously impressed with how rock solid and good looking it is though, as if straight out of the show. Incredible when you think about the quality of the first DX vf-25. Just wish we could get more weapon packs as shown in the magazine along with the super parts set. It's just a single rotating peg right?
-
Anyone have slight issues with the shoulder double hinge being a wee bit tight?

Wow, the 0 raiser options pack is impossible to find <$300. Not sure if I want to get the 00 without the raiser :/
