Hey Noel After looking some more, actually Arcadia has some of the fast/super/strike packs labelled wrong in their sticker sheet and even on their Premium Finish models. They lack the Hasegawa's designation "HMMP-02" for the forward missile section and the "RO-X24" for the strike cannons - so those ebay waterslide decals merely copied Yamato/Arcadia's mistake. I guess Hasegawa isn't really cannon either as they were never in any art books till the models came out. So do you want to emulate the Premium Finish toys with the mistake or try to correct them (or maybe just do our own thing)? The trick is can anyone help us purchase another Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1S Strike decals only in Japan and send those to us?

Is this a troll?... I couldn't disagree more. In fact TMP is one of the most Star Trek like stories/themes than all the other movies. I must admit that I am one of the few that does enjoy TMP especially the slow drydock starship porn scenes that so many have criticized TMP for. There's nothing dark, pessimistic or distopian or disfunctional about TMP - sure the Enterprise is lit darker than the 60s TV show, but doesn't dissappear into the shadows like Discovery. Advancement is perfectly fine when it is the "Refit" of the Enterprise and takes place AFTER TOS not a prequel like Discovery. I just don't your opinion There is just not comparison. OK, the last episode 3 wasn't so bad, it held my interest - the first 2 episodes were a complete mess! By why is the Discovery interiors so damn dark?!?! It's like they're working in a nightclub all the time.

Not as bad as the earlier isometric CAD views - but the nose still lacks an overall "sleekness" that the Hasegawa VF-1s have.

Yes, especially when you see all the Trek openings together in context... http://nerdist.com/star-trek-discoverys-opening-credits/

I'll post pictures if I ever actually get my Lil Drakens - they left Osaka on Aug 31st and that't the last entry I've seen on the tracking with Eco SAL. Starting to get a little worried now...:(
-
That's exactly how I feel too! Yes!!! Why attach yourself to Star Trek when you are not going to use any of the Star Trek lore or designs? With all the pre-production and production woes, you'd think they would finally get the premier airing right, but it got delayed 20mins in Canada (I PVRed it) so I lost out on the last 20mins, and they switched to the Space Channel to air the second episode back to back, whereas the Network CBS only aired the first episode. So when I found out, I PVRed the second episode only to also have that one delayed and the last 20mins cuts out of my recording. ARGH!

OH DARN IT!!! Thanks for translating... wishful thinking I guess.

It's tough to do post shading on a dark bird - its almost like you need to do the reverse and do lighter panel highlights around the edges, then the dark wash on top for the panel lines which becomes a more involved process. The Blue and Gold of this SV-262 always screamed more show than military so I might be just panel lining it and keeping the weathering to a minimum. Plus I think I have do up the new VF-1S that I just got recently
-
I'm not sure, haven't had the time lately, I've only been able to panel line the Macross Delta toys. I'll definitely panel line them but not sure if I have time to properly weather them (which means sealing it in with a clear coat). Maybe sometime in the future, if I had time, I'd rather try to take that stupid gold flake off the canopy and tint them clear. It's always harder to weather dark valkyries and see it without over doing it.
-
OK Thanks, that's a good guideline. I guess I've always been real lucky or had EMS or FedEx and I'm not used to this.
-
YES! YES! YES! YES!
-
Thanks, so I shouldn't worry after 3 weeks, when should I start to worry?
-
I love that last shot Saburo!!! That's what I want to set mine up whenever I actually get my Lil Drakens... I wasn't really a fan of the Gerwalk mode before, but somehow I really like it on the SV-262 and your last picture just confirmed it for me. I ordered from NY (Eco-SAL) and the last tracking entry is "Dispatch from Outward Office..." in Osaka on Aug 31st - its been 3 weeks and no further entries. Should I be worried or did it just take the slow boat (I guess I've been pretty lucky with Eco-SAL in the past, its never taken this long)? Canadian Postal system always drops the ball on our end though - but I get a higher chance of slipping through Customs via the Postal system.

The little white "NP-BP-01 or HMMP-02 or whatever the strike cannon designation are"...
-
Are these the ones that Noel was saying the fastpack/strikepack white letterings were all the same and didn't have the various markings for the armament vs. the cannon and missile fronts? If these are different from what Noel were using then I'd give them a try. Thanks Recon!

Hi everyone, I know its a long shot, but had anyone only used the sticker sheet and didn't use the waterslide decals that came with some of the 1/60 Arcadia VF-1 toys? I'd be happy to buy those waterslide decals, even if its incomplete, I'd just really need the white fast/super/strike pack stenciling and any white stenciling for Roy's VF-1S (ie: 001 on the tail fins). Just thought I'd ask, you never know
-
Any one know if that re-release of the VF-1D will include the Minmay figure? None of the photos show it. Any idea of when it will be re-released? http://hobby.dengeki.com/reviews/447711/

Wow! Seems like they're just phoning it in to cash in - so unimaginative and boring! Guess my wallet is definitely safe with those!
-
WOW! Absolutely stunning EI!!! So clean and perfect flawless finish. (sorry just catching up on all the smazing work over the summer on this thread - away with the family:P)
-
Well it wouldn't process my payment and eventually it timed out on me and emptied my cart. Now it indicates its "Temporarily Sold Out" and no longer gives to option to even backorder it. Congrats to those who managed to snag one - unfortunately I wasn't so lucky. I guess Lego is taking a page from Bandai sales tactics now. How hard is it to give money to purchase super expensive toys these days?!
-
Ah, perhaps I spoke too soon. It got changed and its on the Canadian store but I couldn't complete the checkout process as it hangs and keeps giving me a server error message. I guess there are that many Canadians out there willing to drop over $1K on a lego set! ...and I thought I was crazy!
-
Hey anyone in Canada managed to purchase the UCS Millennium Falcon via VIP Membership? I never got any e-mails and when I log in today with my VIP number, it just says available Oct 1st. Argh!!! Not available early in Canada again?!?!
-
OK, you guys are right... (man tough crowd) the parts I liked best are the beginning and end which is the original theme - I guess there wasn't anything humm-able in the middle to define it as its own theme.
-
Wow! Despite all the negative stuff I've seen and heard about Discovery, the music ain't half bad!
-
Anyone gotten their Lil Drakens from NY yet? They shipped mine EMS out Sep 30th and it took the next day to reach Osaka (Dispatch from Outward Office of Exchange) and then there's been no other entry since then. I'd think it would have a Canadian Post Office entry by now 9 days later? Its not NY's fault but I hope it hasn't gotten lost in the mail.
