2 new Variable Fighter Master File books: VF-22 and VF-1 Squadrons
wm cheng replied to cool8or's topic in Collectors
I'm not a huge fan of the newly added panel lines to the SDF-1 - they look completely non-nonsensical and out of scale. -
Probably spying on Americans (oops I guess I just got redflaged on that one by Prism)
-
Fantastic job Takatoys! Aboslurmely beautiful - now would someone PLEASE make waterslide decals for this beauty?! That's a great tip to add that little bit of black to the canard wing pegs!
-
Yeah! How else will I pay for my Valkyries if you guys all torrent our work?
-
Those are great!!! exactly what I've been looking for. Oh man, they're like $20usd from Amazon.com but over $50cdn from Amazon.ca - again us Canadians get screwed!
-
LOL!!! Love it! my feelings exactly...
-
Anyone confirmed a english dubbed track on the Funiamtion Live Action Yamato bluray release?
-
Now if they could do it on that tiny model... why couldn't they include these details on the GX-64?
-
Yeah, but aren't us modelers sadist anyways?
-
Hmm, I'm actually happier with my Bandai VF-25 renewals than my Arcadia YF-19 - especially considering I can get more than two VF-25 for every YF-19!
-
Woohoo!!! It's back up at NY for 19,950... only a 750Y mark up, I can live with a $8 markup for sleep. They e-mailed me. Good luck everyone!
-
Yeah, $140 is just too much, I'd pay 1/2 that.
-
That was my first thought! Have it in a hanger with all the access panels removed undergoing a major systems overhaul, tons of wiring and plumbing everywhere. I wished I was independently wealthy and didn't have to work... ah, I can dream.
-
Got nothing yet again... at least this time I didn't stay up all night for it. I sure hope they are available at release time, what happened to it being a non-hero valk? Oh well, it wasn't a "must have" anyways, but I do want it now more than before since I wasn't able to get it - funny how things get when you "can't" get one ;-) Now the Ozma 25S is another story - I really hate why Bandai makes us go though this mess everytime.
-
Yeah, I think its too much for a naked Valk, but what can you do? It's not worth it, but I'll probably still try to get it. I only wished my job had raises like these toy prices! I'm still a little disappointed from my Arcadia YF-19 purchase for the amount they asked for it!
-
Well, those photos were better than the previous ones, enough to make me bite. As long as I can get one of these without staying all night for - I'm just not going to go through that again. Lets hope there's some available in the morning for us in North America - otherwise I'll just wait to take my chances at release time. Either case, its not such a great loss on this one. Now, Ozma VF-25S I just HAVE TO GET - come on and re-issue that!

Pretty funny tanks on top (MZ wasn't that far off eh?) http://sploid.gizmodo.com/the-typhoon-looks-like-a-futuristic-combat-jet-with-the-1566389209 ...not to conformal if you asked me.
-
That's great news, I'd be all over that when it comes out. Where can I buy it? I don't see it here; http://shop.funimation.com/Shop/ShopMain.html
-
What is this "Funi's release of the live action Yamato movie" - where can I find any more info about it? Is it a fan made dub, or an actual licensed proper dub? Is it a BluRay release? Where can I get it? I too would love to take in all the great visuals that I missed trying to read the subtitles.
-
Cool! So does "The Ark of the Stars" happen before the Comet Empire (are they still doing that for TV?) or instead of?
-
Great news, who is this designer? What was he responsible for? Was he the mech designer? Pls. link when available (preferable anywhere other than Amazon - crazy shipping prices!)
-
LOL!!!

Hi promethuem5, I'm sorry if my initial comments came out wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed your review and thank you very much for putting the time and effort into it. I just meant that the overall tone of the entire review was overwhelmingly positive. I am happy that was your experience. Although you did mention a few points here and there, it was mostly drowned out by the glowing reports and it didn't make an impression on me after taking your review as a whole. I value your opinion and certainly didn't mean to spark any criticism of your excellent review. Don't get me wrong, I am happy with my toy, just not overwhelmingly ecstatic about it. There are improvements here and there and some WTF were the Arcadia engineers thinking about moments here and there. I agree with Lowviz, I do like the toy, its probably a great $200 toy, but I don't think its a $384 toy. Arcadia would need to justify that extra 90% premium surcharge with some tampo printing and at least a stand (not to mention better ankles or engineering refinements) - come on, if you include stand adapters, then you should either have a stand included or at least sell the stands separately - what is this, just a tease for something you can't get?! If Arcadia wants to charge these premium prices, then I expect a premium product and I will be more critical of it than a cheaper alternative. I am not going to criticise a Chevy Cruze for handling like I would a BMW M3, basically we've got a Lexus, its better than decent, but its way overpriced for what you get. IMHO ;-)
-
Hmm, that was a glowing report, no mention of the criticisms at all.
-
Yeah! And stickers just don't cut it!!!
