Wouldn't it be perfect if the Ozma renewal was a bundled Amored pack (especially due to the delay)? At least for me it would be. One can dream right?

DO NOT ORDER FROM Amazon.jp! if you live in Canada. I just got a bill from DHL (3wks later) for an additional $13.19 in processing fee (GST customs & duty on imported goods) on top of the 3,000Y they charged me for shipping on that 3,600Y amazing Yamato 2199 Earth Materials book. Argh, that's like over an extra 100% of the price of the book in shipping and handling. Who has the cheapest shipping for the Gamilia's Materials book?

Well, I'm in the other camp, I hate glossy toys - it makes them look like toys. I have to matte clear-coat all my Bandai renewal like MacrossJunkie. The only thing glossy I like are car toys. IMHO, I love the old matte finish of the old Yamato toys, flat finish looks more realistic on a piece of military hardware and it gives miniatures a better sense of scale. So here's to hoping they stick to the old Yamato finish. (glossy finish shows off tiny manufacturing scratches & swirls more I find).
-
Exactly what I was thinking - did they just not push it up enough or is it sitting right against the chest? Same here, I loved the long swan-like thin neck, but the toy still seems to have a thick one - can't really tell yet. Other than that, its beautiful.

Beautiful work!!! So nice to see more of these arms built up, and what a wonderful job too. Love the lights. Just watch the sag in the arm over time when mounted like this, mine is sagging pretty badly now (even though there is a brass rod inside the resin) - its slow and imperceptible, but it will sag when mounted like this over time (it was fine for the first year or two - but its been more than eight years now). Not sure how I'm going to corrected, I'm afraid the cure might be worst than the problem.
-
YES!
-
Hmm.... the same 2,290Y for registered SAL to Canada. Wasn't so sure about this bird, but being below MSRP, I couldn't resist. Still can't wait for the VF-25S to complete my squadron, might even "pre-order" (if I can - its always in the middle of the night here!) just for the piece of mind.
-
Woohoo!!! Thank you guys... I slept and missed out on HS but got in at Ami Ami. I'm not a fan of them calculating shipping after the order, how much are you getting for registered SAL to N.A.?
-
Gone... already ;-( That was fast. Thanks though.
-
LOL!!! I hated the engineering decks... the "look" of the JJ Star Trek is just un-forgiveable.
-
WOW! That is absolutely the best JJprise I've ever seen. Way to go on the free-hand paneling, that really elevates the finish! You've turned a horrible design (IMO) into a great looking model - congrats!
-
Do they have all their other renewals in PDF format? I couldn't find others.
-
Any place online available at MSRP?
-
YES! And give us a HOTAS (joystick & throttle) setup that works on the PS3 - please.
-
Ok, good to know, already pre-ordered those. However I was hoping to get the Armor parts for the upcoming Ozma renewal - but I guess I'd have put up with the current inflated prices?
-
Oh, so they won't re-issue the armor parts for the eventual Ozma renewal? Did they never issue super parts for the VF-25G and RVF-25 till now?
-
Hey! At least you got one. I'm just left holding that there might be some when they become available at a reasonable price.
-
Please let me know if the VF-27 becomes available anywhere at MSRP when its ready.
-
Gee thanks ;-) Still waiting on mine from NY... I was hoping that it would be just like the RVF - its seemed so nice.
-
The sad story... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35120&p=1052354 Although, this time around, I got a package of Flory Pro-modellers wash which I will try out.
-
Thanks, I couldn't find it on HLJ (sold out for the Earth one and couldn't find a pre-order for the Gamillas)... could you show me the link? This book got me excited enough to re-attempt a new Bandai 1/72 Comso Zero after my previous attempt went down in flames. Funny how many mistakes I avoid and how much faster its going, I should build all my models twice! NOT!!!
-
Where is the Garmilla book available for pre-order? It doesn't seem to be up on HLJ yet, and the Earth book I got from Amazon.jp cost 3,000Y just for shipping - argh. It's an amazing book though! I'm pouring over every page, its fantastic for mecha fans and I highly recommend it.
-
Wow! Two, I couldn't even get one at the HLJ prices... I had to resort to the NY price. Good for you!
-
Yes!! Please matte finish... those glossy Bandai birds doesn't like my matte clear-coat and its its rubs/slides right off the shiny smooth plastic.
-
Thanks! Hoped you enjoyed it. I'm listed with the other Set Designers (there were 101 built sets!) alphabetical in that list within the Art Department. Was kind of hoping for a single line separated credit though ;-)
