  1. 136 is "Ichi","San", and "Roku" in Japanese, and we also read 6 as "Mu."
    Ichi, san and mu become "Isamu."
    For the other example, Tokyo Sky Tree is 634 meter tall. "Mu", "san","shi" and it is located in the former Musashi District.

    Nice found

  2. Could you illustrate this with a photo or two? No matter what positions or contortions I try, those articulated hands just seem too large to fit in that tiny space within the arm.

    Same result, I tried for about 30min to fold the hands into the slot, but it seems it is mission impossible !

    Any tip would be welcome Duymon ?

  3. According to the tips, I would bet on a VF-0D. And I would love also the VF-0 variants as renewal.

    Thing is that the VF-0 molds are extremly detailled and the models are very well proportionned, main issues are the very low plastic quality and the Fighter mode should be thightened.

    We need the X9 with a Sharon Apple ridding it ;) !

    I am in for the 21 and SV-51 renwals too!

  4. There is a huge diference

    Considering the line art, certainly. But if you consider the Master file, Arcadia's design is accurate.

    I prefer to refer to the Master File which is in general more mechanically correct, than the line art that always contains a little "magic" (I always ask myself how the heck did the wing fold into such small tabs in the battroid mode for exemple)

  5. Yeah I was jumping the gun (no pun intended :D). I have actually handled my pods enough to not fear them, I have never heard of this problem and others started coming out of the woods talking about it. Sometimes I miss reported known problems with toys or sometimes users don't talk about it, so there may have been a chance that this is a problem with the renewals.

    I've never reported that my VF-25S gunpod has the exact same broken piece. This is bad manipulation, but this is due to the non-intuitive way that the gun opens and the crotch can easily break.

    Since then, I never touched the other VF-25 gunpods.

    It would be nice to have a shapeway of this piece !

  6. It would better not, for our's and Arcadia's sakes: the price tag of 250USD was pretty impressive for the DX VF-27, although it came together with the super parts. I can't imagine myself putting 400USD in a single valk + shippong costs, or at least not without a second thought!

  7. Both fighters are gorgeous, the SV51 is huge, and massive fully equipped and can feature a damn pretty nice and aggressive poses thanks to its articulated wings. I also love the YF-21 design: I would defenately go for the YF-21 instead of the Gamlin's 22 but this is personal choice.

    Which one to grab first? I would say the best deal you can find but make sure to not miss one in your collection ;)

  8. The VF-1S ended to 13980 yen on pre-order, not so bad considering the packaging. The YF-19 v2 would be a must-buy item for any macross collector anyway. Should the price not be as high as the VF-4G, Arcadia would sell more 19s than VF-4 because it is more popular thanks to the great OAV, Plus movie and its apparition in Frontier movie.
