  1. Fingers crossed for more valk/mechs variations to be DX'ed
  2. That's a nice price spanner and from eBay of all places congrats..it's still on my hunt list unless bandai plays Santa and fulfills my list heh!
  3. Noticed a F-14 2-kit release in 2014, i wonder if this is a re-release? http://hlj.com/product/HSGSP346/Air Should this be exciting news?I haven't been doing aircraft modelling for decades, but i remember this was a hot item from way back...

    Nice idea. Or even going further do the old high metals have similar joints? Might be cheaper to go down that route heh...

    Am sure everyone here feels your pain. There isn't any residual glue left on the ball socket is there? That would be deja vu.... Hopefully you can loosen up the ball joint on the arm first before repairing, else you will be back to square one on torquing the metal joint. Maybe some sanding on the ball socket + a wash of future on the ball joint would loosen the arm part, whilst maintaining some tightness.. As for the main connection joint on the shoulder, yea that needs to be a metal on metal adhesive...
  6. thanks for the link!...appetizer for the trailer release, not much tho since the leak had the screen obsured in the middle of the showing...
  7. Am glad she didn't carry floppy disks to backup, imagine the stack of boxes.. so passe...tot they at least would be on usb sticks tsk tsk... Channelling a lil apocalyspe now with the tropical look? Wouldnt it be nice to have troopers in camo too. I see your Death Star and raise you a Pokemon.
  8. Additional decals only come w the gerwalk set...

    In the early days of SDFM, I always tot it had to do with the size proportions of the internals of the alien shipwhen originally discovered by humans. Ie you needed something in scale to explore/operate the internals of the ship, which i imagined where driven by average sized zentradi. Hence battroid=zentradi size However that's just a hunch on my part, and am sure there is a much more detailed discussion on size somewhere here. That aside, it would be more for aesthetic reasons, so that its a david (with missiles. gunpod) v goliath (giant feet that can stomp you) situation.

    Yeah that's the default scaling diagram from what i have been reading on this thread. That being said, i do enjoy the smaller VF compared to HMR regult. Point being the VF being the size of an average zentradi, which would fit cramped into a regult. And especially a regult surrounded by multiple little VF's. Makes the zentradi battle pods seem more menancing somehow. Nice prisma pics everyone!
  11. I saw a listing on ebay but looks like they only have gold base color left. It would be nice if i could find a white or silver base at that price. Would you still have the link? On HLJ the 1/72 vf-31 is listed at 670 g but thats the whole box. So yea perhaps a 1/72 would do. Similarly a dx is listed around 800g above for the boxset, so will have to give it a go if i get a turntable...
  12. China brands eh! M gonna try looking for one with a mirror base and use it for the tomytec's to show the details.. Just to add, nice pose arrangement of the valks flying past each other... btw would this turn table work for a DX or would a DX be too heavy?
  13. Standard operating procedure of this thread. Admire saburo's hot photos and put as wallpaper, have argument with wallet and then check mandarake/jungle etc Past that point its not standard anymore
  14. Cool, seems even 2 valks arent that heavy! Now you are making me hunt for a solar turntable...hehe...

    woohooo someone did the scale comparison of the tomy battroid with HMR regult! https://twitter.com/mitchie_01/status/752068129212116992?lang=en Now, if someone would only do a squad v squad or 1 regult...

  17. I thk i see the D02 on display, although a close-up would be nice..
  18. When is the summer wonder festival? Pity it's non scale but let's see what it looks like! Excited to see mospeada getting some love, even though it's from evo... Ah saw a date buried there..24th July...
  19. Even the promo pics don't look so nice eh? Anyway if they are cheap enough, the dragon kits can serve as a practise kit for customisations or spares. Competition is good to keep bandai etc on their toes..who knows maybe one day dragon would b good enough..
  20. hunting for good deals is half the fun heheh..
