Darn it... missed it (by quite a bit) - but when its discounted, I might bite again just because its the VF-0S. Thanks for posting deals when you find them.
-
Simply beautiful Lolicon... glad you're putting the decals up - such an improvement. Argh... making it hard for me to resist.
-
I find it funny that most of the people that bash the Bandai one doesn't even own that one - how can you make an informed opinion without having it in hand?! (I know, this IS the internet ) Also a key point for me is that the Bandai one is not only superior (IMHO) or even if you consider it even but different or even slightly less - it costs substantially less (almost 50% less for me) - which demonstrates what can be done at the lower price-point. I just felt gauged by Arcadia which adds to the sense of dissatisfaction.
-
I'd bite for that amount if it was the VF-0S (even with Arcadia's track record with me). Here's to hoping... (however it might be only the VF-0A as its a recognized flaw the VF-0S doesn't have any so far right?)
-
Definitely the Bandai one all the way if we're talking about fighter mode only. Its the sleekest (IMHO). The Arcadia one has too much of a downward point to the nose and the swan neck is just too exaggerated for an aircraft and that damn thick block at the air intake. Not to mention the exorbitant price tag, total lack of the most minimalist of tampo printing, overly complicated transformation that isn't even satisfying (but feels like I'm breaking it!), weak ankles, stupid wing/arm mechanism for fast mode, and WTF with no stand included, just an adapter nonsense. It's so blank it just looks half-assed and uncompleted next to the incredible amount of molded details all over the Bandai 19 Advanced (even in areas that you'd never see unless you were transforming it). Don't even get me talking about the pose ability in Battroid mode. I'd gladly sell mine if I didn't put so much effort and so many hours into it to make it look remotely pass-able in my collection. I guess you know which camp I belong too

Any english subs? -
$100 less and more tampo then it would be a done deal!
-
Thanks for the heads up - sooooo tempting.... but after our really low dollar, shipping, customs and duties, that's still over $400cdn! If I didn't feel so burned by Arcadia twice before, I might just bite - argh.

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2

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. -

I still love the 1/48 scale for their aircraft proportions! -
Suicide Squad, in theaters Aug. 5, 2016

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.
