Valkyries Third Sortie - and it's in English!
wm cheng replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
Same here... I just hope it doesn't go to backordered like it did for my VF-4 Masterfile book (which thankfully is sitting in my Private Warehouse awaiting this one) -
Valkyries Third Sortie - and it's in English!
wm cheng replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
So has anyone that has pre-ordered from HLJ received a payment request yet? My pre-order and item page at HLJ say October 2016 Release now instead of September before and people here are already getting the book in their hot little hands. Argh! -
Looks fantastic Derex, That's in my pile, I love the kit! You have done an amazing job on it - much to be proud of! What is this makeup sponge technique you hinted of - I'd like to learn. I'm starting on the Bandai Millennium Falcon (amazing kit!), but between working and constantly finding new areas to correct (got the 3D Shapeways cockpit windows, gunwell windows, Photoetched grills and cockpit light up parts, custom LED lighting package) now I realize I need to cut the entire spine details on top of the tunnel way to the cockpit so I can recess it and sink it down by 1mm - I think this will be a very slow build...

Yes that's true, you're completely right. I guess I'm just still hurting from that horrible teaser and frugly ship design... that its tainted my expectations.

Not a good sign when the producers says "Lower your expectations..." http://www.darkhorizons.com/bryan-fuller-explains-star-trek-discovery-title/

Hey any Valkyries at 1/4000 scale? Can't make any out
-
Hey I pre-orderedf it a while ago for private warehouse. I just checked in today (having been on vacation) and it says BackOrdered in my account. It went from Pre-order to backordered - does that mean I pre-ordered too late and they didn't have enough to cover the initial pre-order? Should I worry about not getting anything from HLJ? Should I contact them or just sit tight and wait 4-6 weeks?

Woohoo!!! Thanks for the HLJ link to pre-order. Hmm, I pre-ordered the VF-4 Masterfile book too, but it just went from pre-order to backordered - does that mean I didn't pre-ordered it early enough for the first rounds or should I contact HLJ? Should I worry? It says Backordered 4-6weeks? -
I don't think anyone wants Arcadia to go away (competition is always good - the more people making Macross toys the better!) - I just want them to step up their game and add more tampo details and come down a little in price. Nothing like sky high exorbitant prices on a blank toy - argh. I don't mind paying more for more, not more for less.

Suicide Squad, in theaters Aug. 5, 2016
wm cheng replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
THANKS!!! Pleasantly surprised with Will Smith's performance. Always knew Margot Robbie & Viola Davis would be good. Always hated big amorphous CGI thingies - that's when you want something spectacular but doesn't know what it should look like and it turns out looking like nothing. As for the disjointed nature and editing problems, its because of the Studio Execs not having enough confidence in the director and trying to change his vision after the fact... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/suicide-squads-secret-drama-rushed-916693 -
Hey, I love Chuck's VF-31E - sucker for the Radome (really hope its included right from the outset - don't see why not, the VF-25G included it) and the orange/grey scheme is my favourite colour combo. So lets just make thousands and only have the four of us here on these boards buy it - maybe I can sleep that night instead of the PO madness. I hope it will come out before the end though - I can't wait that long. Of course I haven't really been watching the series, so I don't really know how Chuck does - just looking at his plane from a purely aesthetic point of view. Can't seem to get into it with all the really young silly girly stuff going on yet.

Hey, just go see it!!! good or bad, you can rest well knowing you're supporting a fellow MWer -
Thanks! Oh well, I'll stick with HLJ on this one, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!

https://www.nippon-yasan.com/18150-macross-delta-dx-chogokin-vf-31j-siegfried-hayate-immelman-custom.html Damn! Can I cancell HLJ without penalty?
-
Wow! 16mins later and HLJ is still up... Just got my confirmation e-mail, does that mean I'm safe or could they still send out "We're sorry" e-mails all the way up to December?
-
Wow, AmiAmi just went from Coming Soon to Sold Out - but I think I got one from HLJ (thanks to your links) - I got the Thank You, just awaiting the conifrmation. Never found anything on NY yet though (I guess I'll have to pay customs on this bad boy!). Thanks all for the excitement (NOT!) - thanks for the links, now back to sleep (its 3am here).
-
No place holder at NY yet? Damn, I hope to get one there to save on customs here in Canada. Good luck to all... 6mins to go!

wm cheng replied to VF-18S Hornet's topic in Toys
Nice Saburo! Love that design, so jealous of your very clear canopy. -
Wow that looks great! So excited for this, although not really getting into the actual animation itself. Just weary that I keep seeing that foggy/frosted canopy in every shot including the promo stuff - I thought it was just a early prototype when I saw the same thing for the VF-30 pictures until I got my toy with the same foggy/frosted canopy (the only detraction from an otherwise great toy). I just don't get why some people have the clear canopy for that toy.
-
Looking forward to the toy, but definitely not to the late-night pre-order madness that's sure to follow. Any idea how popular these things are in Japan? Are they as or more popular than Frontier?

Scale Model Link Thread for Non Macross builds
wm cheng replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I believe its a 2kit box, so I'm guessing its the re-issued molds but there are two planes so $30/plane isn't bad, especially when its the Hasegawa F-14 - which is considered the definitive 1/72 kit (the later recessed panel version) - albeit a bit tougher to put together. However the newer FineMolds 1/72 F-14B may have dethroned this kit, but it was never a general release, only a special magazine release item. I have the Hasegawa F-14B and it is amazing for a 1/72 kit (I have the FineMolds too and its seems even better, but that's 20yrs of molding technology later!). -
Definitely Bandai (without the pre-order madness). Not Arcadia, I've had a sense of being ripped off every time I've bought something from them recently, exorbitant prices and no markings are the big turn offs for me with this company now.
-
Yes, I'm catching the bug too with all my Es sitting in my stash... not saying I can actually make any time for it, but its awfully tempting..
-
I think its just a shot of the 3D Model - the canopy reflections and shadows seem too clean/perfect.
