    Gah, yesterday my HLJ warehouse hit 60 and they shipped it. So of course, today, after weeks of waiting, the last little 300Y item comes in stock. I really don't want to ship it by itself, but there's nothing coming out in the next 60 days AFAIK. (If Bandai would hurry up with a VF-31A, then I'd be fine...)
  2. David Hingtgen
    They're not even capitalizing on the fact that they can TRANSFORM. Might as well just have F-22's flying around...

    Maybe Figurarts will finally release the Rain figure they showed all those years ago. I mean yeah, it took a long time before Master Asia came out, but c'mon, it's been an even longer gap since then, and not even a hint at Rain coming.

    Still no subs? Doesn't sound like I'm missing much. 20 eps in, I was *much* more invested into Frontier's story and characters. (and valks, and battles, and songs...)
  5. David Hingtgen
    Maybe by then they'll actually show battroid-mode combat in the show.
  6. David Hingtgen
    Executor? Not in that timeframe.

    That's my most-desired combo of all. -31A wings, but more color than the grey -31. (Needn't be nearly as stripey/gaudy as Delta squadron, but just "normal" valk schemes, like Roy/Alto/Isamu etc)
  8. David Hingtgen
    That just even further proves my point. If Wing as a whole is not that popular to start with---then why make a little-known (did it even exist at all before the kit?) variant of Heavy Arms first, as a mainline release, then wait literally years to make the minor changes needed to make the most-wanted/popular version and make it a limited release? It'd be like making a never-before-seen variant of the VF-19P first, then 4 years later doing Basara's.
  9. David Hingtgen
    I hate it, but I'm not surprised: The most popular version of Heavy Arms, as seen in EW, is the limited P-Bandai release. While YEARS ago we got the "never seen anywhere" orange version of that mold. Yeesh. Either give us red+orange TV version, or navy/teal EW. Not some hypothetical hybrid. Same rant for Sandrock. Give me TV or EW. Not "inbetween" ones we never saw.

    TFW's gotten worse, MW is the same or slightly better. IMHO. I don't peek into TFW's Macross thread very often.

    I posted a longer version of this in the DX -31 thread a few days ago, but I think it will. I know *I* have less interest in the -31 toys due to limited use of battroid and sparse use of super packs. Frontier enticed us early on with awesome battles highlighting mode-switching and the plot-based equipping of super and armor packs, and later tornado. Delta has given us just one forgettable use of the sound booster.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Yup. I wish they were all exclusives. You have a weeks-long ordering timeframe instead of 4 secs, and you have like a 99% chance of getting what you put in your cart.

    That pic shows the equally rare 4 AIM-9's option as well. This as close as a Tomcat gets to a dogfight config.
  14. David Hingtgen
    Mirage. No, wait, get Messer, that'll make it easier for me to get Mirage. Yeah, that's it. Nobody buy Mirage, she's not a good pilot.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Looked around, couldn't find it again. Will post if I do.
  16. David Hingtgen
    I found the drawings on the official site, and laying them on top of each other, the -31A does have slightly larger canards. But the shape is the same, so it's hard to tell. And without HFH confirming it, it could easily be written off as an artist's error etc.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Wow, that's really thinking it through. Props to Kawamori for that.
  18. David Hingtgen
    I saw someone build a VF-31J kit with the wings flipped around so they sweep back. Looks awesome, vaguely like the VF-4's wings.

    Well I'm spending this morning waiting for my car at the tire shop so I can't stream/watch anything until later today. Could I have like a 5-word spoiler-free "categorization" of the episode? As in, is it mainly a: 1. Mecha/battle ep. 2. Other plot-advancing/politics ep. 3. Characters/triangle ep.

    Ok, I think it's high time I actually start to SELL my stuff, vs simply have it sit in the closet NOT helping me pay my bills. That said: I do think ebay is the best option, to gain the biggest "audience". I've of course bought from ebay many times, but never sold. Is there a "guide" out there that'd be especially helpful for selling stuff like retro games/consoles/CD's? Like I've heard ebay seems to be fond of assigning "default" shipping weights to stuff, but if I'm selling a $100 PSX game, I'm not just going to ship it in a bubble mailer and hope the jewel case doesn't crack, so their "suggested" shipping weight/cost won't be acceptable.I'll be boxing most anything. (and on that note---anywhere to get cheap small boxes for that situation? Or is just shipping everyting via priority and using those boxes the best bet?) Also, is shipping via Paypal worth it, to help "prove" I shipped stuff? I think I'd need to buy a scale, to accurately weigh things to be able to print labels, in that case.

    I've seen that mentioned before. I've gotta admit--I don't "get it". And googling brings up nothing. I can see "terra" and "aegis"----"Earth shield"?
  22. David Hingtgen
    The scarcity of add-ons in the show has me a bit worried/disappointed "One-time use" isn't enough to make me want to buy them. As opposed to Frontier's Super Pack, which Alto used more often than not. And though he only used the Armor Pack twice----they were epic awesome scenes. And Ozma made the Armor Pack a must-buy the first time we saw it. Frontier made all the "extra bits" for the valks cool and desirable. Delta hasn't done that at all. We've seen one set of parts used once to minimal effect.
  23. David Hingtgen
    The legs and weapon pod don't seem to peg together in fighter mode, that's worrying. Arms are identical to the VF-25-----already look loose, will be very floppy after a bit. Weapon pod seems to be pure friction, nothing pegged or locked into the open/raised mode. I think it may be even worse than the arms after time----a big floppy pile of parts never really holding in position. Honestly, seems like they've learned nothing over the past few years and have made zero improvements. Every issue the -25 has or develops, the -31 looks to be prone to get as well.
  24. David Hingtgen
    A Trypticon that size would be so much cooler.
  25. David Hingtgen
    I guess it'll be DSC, because DIS already means Disney, when it comes to entertainment.
