    I imagine it's something like Robot Alchemic Drive but with seafood. I'm sooo down.
  2. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Fight Crab. I think I need to play this.

    Congrats! I don't have that Ukranian camo version, but from the Russian ones I do have, I can say Hobby Master makes superb Flankers.
  4. Valkyrie Hunter D
    No worries, thanks regardless. It's a rare occurrence where I can actually lavishly choose where my preorder will go.
  5. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Just check your link.

    Thanks for the heads up F360-I'm hoping Amazon JP will be 2 for 2 for my Legioss squad.

    Thanks, but to give credit where credit is due, I'm copying ideas from every photo of Brickdesigners' Hueys I could find. I'm just using a different color and changing things I don't like. Still trying to figure the sliding doors. I have long way to go, but it's been fun trying to kinda reverse engineer all these builds I'm finding. And like M'Kyuun pointed out, those are just transparent light blue 2x2 slopes, whose shape is apparently used by almost all the Lego Huey builds in the nose area .

    Thanks, and indeed I have been looking at Savelsberg's rotorcraft for ideas. I have a couple more routes to try before I might end up doing something like what he did for his Osprey's nose. I've also been looking at Brickdesigners' Huey designs for their SNOT work.

    Hobbysearch already has preorders available for the F-15 Kai.

    I'm sold. I've given up finding the older kits and recasts. Yes-and an obligatory Griffon to tear its head off!

    My current project is trying to make a decent looking Vietnam War era Huey helicopter using different design cues I've found. That bulbous ovoid shaped nose has been quite hard to mold for me:

    Hyperthrust!

    Thanks for the info and review, mike-I was definitely curious about this Uni.

    Regarding the Osprey, there is some consolation thanks to a lucky AFOL out there: Osprey Instructions.

    I've been lagging at this game, but this was a nice surprise; I was gonna buy all the dlc missions this afternoon when I saw that the PS Store had discounted the season pass by 50%. So for 12 bucks and some change I got all the skins, planes, and extra missions. It looks to be part of a big summer sale.
  16. Valkyrie Hunter D
    That's what got to me as well. If they were so ardent with their "no military vehicles" rule, how did the production of this kit have gotten so far?
  17. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Lego Osprey may be canceled.

    Sekiro was a blast to play. Hard as nails, but oh so satisfying with every well earned boss victory. I'd be hard pressed to choose the bettter of the two: Sekiro or Bloodborne. I'd like to dive into Nioh 2, but I'm still going through Nioh 1's DLC campaigns.
  19. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Until Bloodborne hits the PC, maybe Yarntown can help tide you over? I think it's adorable.

    I find it odd that they would revert to the same scale of kits Bandai originally released in the 90's. At least Goodsmile's version lacks the rubbery covering for the inner frame, so that's a plus right there. I would've gone crazy for that Bulldog way back when though!

    Alt mode looks better than I expected, but I'm not liking the coffee stains.
  22. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Yes, that sounds about right. The box is huge and the gokin itself is hefty. I paid around 12000 yen, but that was because of a Private Warehouse shipment from HLJ.

    I stated that I wouldn't be touching Left Alive, but I was too curious about its premium bundle for the PS4 - the so called "Mech Edition", which had considerably gone down in price to low sales of the game itself. I went through the game once, and I would compare my experience to that of playing a generic shooter on a PS3. I certainly didn't play it how it was meant to be played where you would sneakily make your way past augmented soldiers and wanzers while defending yourself by using bombs and traps constructed from all the scrap material strewn all over the place. I tried it that way for a few hours of gameplay and it was just no fun with the dumb enemy AI, the clunky menus, and inconsistent enemy reactions. So for the rest of the game, I opted for the "Casual" setting where ammunition and firearms would be far more plentiful than usual. It's a real damn shame, Left Alive had a a lot going for it: great atmosphere in an eastern European setting, friggin Yoji Shinkawa as a character designer, a decent story, and wanzers-wanzers everywhere! It seems like Left Alive was trying to be the hot new Splinter Cell or Metal Gear experience, not only with Shinkawa's work, but also with certain sound effects and musical cues. The execution was just terrible, and gameplay is no where near the depth of any of the later Metal Gear games. Wanzer combat rounds are too far and few in between, and feel like watered down Armored Core bouts. It was a real trudge of a game. The Mech Edition package contains a vinyl stationary keeper, a steel case for the crappy game, a decent artbook containing containing concept and character illustrations, and most importantly-the star of the show: a toy of the new wanzer design introduced in the game-the Volk: At approximately 7 inches, I would estimate its scale to be around 1/48. The Volk comes with an assault rifle, a shield, a shoulder mounted multi-missile launcher, and a shoulder mounted rail gun, plus an alternate pair of hands: The instruction sheet indicates that this figure is part of Square/Enix's Wander Arts line, and it shows with its excellent paint apps. It has a nice matte dark green scheme and the printed details are crisply applied. It's all ABS and PVC, no die cast here. Articulation at the major joints is regulated by ball joints and swivels which all seem secure for now. Just a couple of notable gimmicks here like the extendable rollers attached to the upper legs and the foldable shoulder mounted rail gun which is as long as the figure's height itself. I love the design on this thing. It certainly looks like it belongs in the Front Mission theater, and it reminds me of a Landmate from Shirow's Appleseed. As a huge Front Mission fan, I can confidently say the Volk is a great toy, I would go so far to say that it would be worthy of a release on its own. In my head, the Left Alive game was the bonus in this package.

    Yeah, there's no way I'm passing up on Cable.

    Man, I'm just reeling from the nostalgia bomb sh9000 dropped. It's sad that Bandai will most likely not make any matching Boazanian enemies for this Voltes to battle with. Maybe next gen Sofubis?
