Awww man!!! Now I can't unsee it and pretend there were no changes. Still love the SoC 2199 Yamato and the last SoC Andromeda - don't know if its enough of a difference to warrant another purchase though - my little girl has to go to University right?
-
Is there any difference in the 2202 refit?
-
Hey! I thought no one here liked the Chuck version - it was going to give me a chance at the PO. ... no one likes the Chuck version, no need for pre-order... (Jedi hand wave)
-
Well, I love your photos!!! If you're ever in Toronto, just let me know and I'll even dust them for ya
-
HELL YA!!!
-
Yep! Arcadia priced themselves out of my range (especially for what you get) a while ago for me.
-
OMG!!! I'm in the same place in my life too. Its going to get expensive. Love that Milano and AT AT! You are bad for my daughter's post secondary education
-
Yes!!! Beautiful Saburo. It's definitely my favourite VF-19 - you know how satisfied I am with it when I haven't had to carve time out of my too busy schedule to have to detail it up for it to be acceptable in my collection (unlike the 2 weeks I will never get back to get that turd of a Arcadia version to be even acceptable in my eyes).
-
What is it going to be?
-
Damn it!!! I slept though the NY (NY was the place I really wanted it from). Well at least I got one from AE - lets hope NY opens some more slots up again. Figinstock doesn't seem to work with NY - it says URL invalid.
-
How late is NY now a days? Its been almost a day and still no listing from them?
-
Thanks so much, just signed up with them. Now if only they can do the Pre-Ordering in the middle of the night for us too When is NY going up? How late have they've been recently with the Bandai POs? Are they the same day or days after the fact? I really like NY I never get dinged customs shipped by them.
-
Argh!!! I slept in and somehow my alarms didn't go off! I did manage to pre-order only one from Anime Export this morning (however I have never bought anything from them before) are they just as reliable? I paid for it this morning, does that mean I got it? Still hoping for NY to come out today - actually want a second one to display without the SAP. My first missed PO - I must be getting old!!!
-
Does Bandai Online ship to Canada (North America)? Tempting to avoid the crazy PO madness if they ship outside of Japan.
-
Can't believe this is 1/100?! It certainly turned out so much better than I had hoped. It could almost pass for a 1/60DX. The bottom kibble is fine for this "anime magic" transformation process too (in fact there is some kibble/mechanical stuff in that area even in the lineart). So impressed, definitely captured the sleekness of the design. Might need to get 2 one in each mode... Not looking forward to the Pre-order madness though Maybe MacrossII isn't as popular?! One can hope. Please no one on these boards buy it, its not really the Holy Floating Head's design afterall
-
Hmm the Lego Ideas site is pretty low on ideas compared to the MOCs - too bad there weren't more MOCs in the Lego Ideas site to be made into actual kits.
-
Thanks! Just supported them. Couldn't find the Saturn 1B though, I'd totally get that to go alongside the Saturn V. But man, that crawler with launch pad and tower is amazing.
-
OMG!!! I would be in heaven. Please I hope it gets made into a kit.
-
That's the best part of Star Trek the Motion Picture, when the Enterprise first gets revealed in space dock - NOW THAT"S SHIP PORN. If this is like that, then I'm in heaven.
-
Damn you!!! Now I can't unsee it Please post it if you do the modification, can't wait to see the whole thing (now you need the ABCD fin stickers). Just saw it built up in person at the local Lego Store this weekend and its amazing in person - so impressive already.
-
You took the words from my mouth! Exactly!!! It's just an engineering marvel and worthy on that alone.
-
Really? Are there fins that are more correct in shape? I'd like to know as I just got my SaturnV delivered (It was supposed to be my father's day present
-
I'm exactly the opposite. I would prefer the decals to be separate pieces instead of one large sheet. I have the option of painting those areas and just want the 05 or ejection triangles or even do my own scheme and just have the data stenciling. Also large sheets of decals tend to obscure fine panel lines and makes those details less sharp when its laid over top and I have to use a lot of MicroSOL and re-cut the panel lines with a knife to let the recessed details show beneath (otherwise it looks just like a sticker over top of the panel lines). Also the larger the decal, the more chance of something going wrong, wrinkling or ripping. I hate models that are molded in different colours as I always have to prime them anyways to make sure all the seams are properly filled and sanded. Then I gotta get the base colour all the same to get an even canvas to start painting (harder if you have a dark colour plastic right next to something else). Also how do you stretch large colour decals over doubled curved surfaces without it wrinkling or folding (decals don't stretch that well and MicroSOL only works to a certain degree). I can't stand bare plastic as they never match up to the decal tone/hue anyways and bare plastic just looks like a toy. That all being said, I think the Hasegawa models are for a different kind of modeler (someone like me who is a bit of a sucker for pain :P) - they are more geared to builders who paint. While Bandai makes kits that are molded in colour and more friendly to builders who don't paint as much.
-
Uh?! Is this available for pre-order today? When did it become available for PO?
-
Woohooo!!!! The whole reason I subscribed to this thread in the first place I had my 1/48s & 1/60s that I'm happy with and my old 1/100 ARII transforming models from high school. BUT this VF-2SS was what I was waiting for all along and it looks great so far - great proportions. Interested to see what it looks like underneath though. The EVOs are such a big dissappointment.
