STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
wm cheng replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
WTF?! I was so looking forward to this. EXACTLY - you took the thoughts right out of my mind!!! Thanks Chris, I never even knew about this toy - I just might have to pick up one myself to hold me over. I love the design, just never got my hand on one of the decent resin ones over the years and now I have no time to build it anyways. -
1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

I still love the 1/48 scale for their aircraft proportions! -

Glad you guys like it - look for Macross thingys in it -
So is there a full first episode available?! Or do you guys just mean the trailer?

WOW!!! Amazing.. fantastic work. I absolutely love the little windowed control area within the bay. And bravo and congrats for being able to sneak away anytime with a new baby girl... aren't girls just the best, you'll find out in a few years when she becomes "Daddy's girl" and it'll make you forget all about Macross ...it happened to me (she's got me wrapped around her little fingers)! - now I'm just barely keeping up to date, but hardly building anymore - there will be plenty time for that when they become teenagers and we're not cool anymore It's great that you have yours completely vertical, mine was on an angle off horizontal and has now sagged under the weight so that its pretty much horizontal now (even with that brass tube inside).
-
I haven't seen those - thanks!!! Hope they add clear plastic bits to the forward red sensors and the purple (fold?) crystals. Hope they open up the back of the legs for those drones. Hope they tampo all the markings on (that's a lot of paint app). Can't wait!
-
Wow! That back kibble just gets bigger and bigger it seems - there's no attempt to even folded it all into itself or get it out of the way... love the fighter mode though.
-
Thanks! Woohoo, can't wait till Christmas day... more like the next day I guess. Not sure about trying to fly with that stupid thumb controller on the Dualshock4 - there must be a stick & throttle setup, but then how does that switch from the ground war the flying during the game?!
-
Seems like they got their pilot scaled from a Bandai kit/toy
-
I just wished they'd go back to AC4 or 5 but with updated graphics for PS4 bundled with a new HOTAS setup or better yet, make it backwards compatible with the old Hori FS2!!! There must be some way, someone made Windows drivers for the old Hori FS2 to work on a PC...
-
There's a new Ace Combat?! (woohoo, just got a PS4 for Battlefront for Christmas) - I wonder if there'd be a HOTAS setup for PS4?
-
NO YOU CAN'T - beautiful work!
-
Ah, thanks. I'm never logged out so I didn't know. Also I don't frequent those "other" parts of the forums.
-
What is this Items of Interest section?
-
Me too!!! I love how they updated the look but definitely kept the feel of the old.

I wonder if maybe that half plastic ball as initially supposed to be some kind of rubber like material that can be compressed. Maybe they designed the two metal halves to compress the rubber ball to give it friction. Then somewhere along the line, they cheaped out and decided to make the ball out of regular plastic and forgot to resize it because it no longer compressed? Just a guess - maybe I'm giving Arcadia too much credit. I haven't transformed my VF-0D fully yet, just partially to paint it up to weather and correct the color - now I'm afraid to. After being burned twice by Arcadia for the YF-19 AND the VF-0D - I swore off them, but that VF-0S was tempting (since I never got a Yamato one due to the floppy neck of my VF-0 low-viz) but now seeing all these problems crop up - its cemented my decision on swear off Arcadia unless something changes.

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2

New Bandai kits that are banned in North America? -
I WANT THAT TOY!!! Wow, 28,000 GBP... who do they think they are... Arcadia?!
-
YES!
-
I'd have to disagree, the Timothy Dalton movies have absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever and should be placed 99th and 100 with License to Kill at the bottom - I can't think of any worst Bond movie than that, even Never Say Never again isn't worst! Back to Spectre, I was a bit disappointed, but Mendes can't film a decent ending! Just like how Skyfall derailed when they got to the ancestral home, Spectre falls apart in the 3rd Act. They should write the endings first and then work there way back other than "oh crap, we're running long, better end this thing..."
-
Yup, exactly the same here! I will get the VF-2SS and VF-4 though. Hasn't anyone said anything about the really thick black stripe along the front fuselage or the really overly large sized "001"? These are kind of like my old ARII 1/100 transforming plastic kits I built when I was in high-school, they had metal hinges and metal landing gears, but the rest were plastic.
-
I think the YF-30 was the version 1 so this VF-31 would be version 2
-
Wow, I must admit, I was skeptical... but I'm impressed with this sculpt so far. I even like Bandai's "non-canon" additional details, it seems to make sense. I hope the chest intakes actually recess in a bit instead of just a flat drop and painting it black. However I won't hold my breath for decent landing gears. Time and time again Bandai has proven to me it has no ideas how to make decent aircraft like landing gears - at best they will be fat and chunky (ie: Yukikaze or Yamato 2199)
-
YES!!! basically the Club-M 1/48 kit in a durable/playable toy form.

So its not only me that noticed where the pod went in Battroid mode?... I was hoping for something a little different. The pod arm was above the back on the old YF-30, but this version looks like the pod arm is below the aircraft, how would that swing up and over the head when its in Battroid? Does it say anywhere that its "Perfect Transformation"? or are we just assuming? - not to ring any alarm bells... I like the aircraft mode, sleek, but I wished the wings swung or folded into itself a little more to minimize the growing back kibble - I know its been said before, but I whole heartedly agree that this just seems like a lazy way of getting stuff they didn't need in the transformation out of the way. (when only viewed straight on from the front!) Wished the fold crystals/sensors were clear instead of just a paint app.
