Damnit I got psyched that they were going to release a 1/100 GM Cannon II from 0083.. but then I realized you were talking about that weirdass Guncannon Detector from Unicorn / Zeta :0
-
A review of the F91 in English, also from a Korean dude Can't wait for them to be available locally in the US in a month or so. On a side note, my ADV hazel just shipped from JPN
-
Yup. All 4 of them O_o I already fixed the issue though with a tiny applicator and some super glue. The way the back wheel was a tiny few degrees off from perfectly parallel with the front wheel when in armor mode was triggering my OCD
-
Awesome photos Saburo. I love my 2 sticks and rays. Btw, anyone having an issue with the back-wheel being kind of whobbly? It feels like it's not entirely secure on the metal rod :0
-
Markings, Cockpit opens differently and the feet are different. A lot of people bought the VF-19 because it was close enough to the YF-19 they really loved. Now they get a chance to get what they really wanted.
-
P-Bandai Quess version inbound?
-
A solid RG is the gundam MK-II. The Titans version is cooler imho. Avoid the RG Sinanju and the RG Zeta unless you are extremely patient. Once you feel more comfortable you can challenge the RG Unicorn.

Prolly a total thread de-rail, but Shinji Aramaki is coming to Anime Next in Atlantic City next month, which is only a 2-hour-ish drive from where I am. I hope my Stick and Ley arrive in time so i can go get them signed

Nippon-yasan is always gonna inflate their shipping sadly. I always do bulk combined orders in order to justify it since other shops in Japan automatically force EMS over $100-200. Sometimes I use kurama online shop from JPY for single items because their single item shipping is pretty cheap compared to NY. http://www.bandaionline.com/hg-1-144-ground-type-gundam-parachute-pack-ver-plastic-model/ As for US stores, they don't custom order with large preorder windows. They decide how many they think they can sell and choose to stock whatever amount they order. Often times they sellout their preorders, but when they don't sometimes that stock just sits until somebody picks it up. I've bought old slow moving P-Bandai kits from all 4 before and all were legit.
-
I am legit debating on having a fire-sale of my entire backlog of unopened 1/72 VF-1s and just get one of those fighter-modes in 1/20
-
I believe BBTS.com and usagundamstore.com also take preorders, though they are really pricey. I end up getting the best prices from NY or Anime Export :0
-
Honestly I'll be happy if it just comes out at all. Also I hope it sells well so that maybe we can get a Z-Gundam version and maybe even one day they'll separate the Base Jabber from the MG Uni Ver Ka so that we can have an easily obtainable unicorn jabber too :0
-
oooh, lots of new goodies being shown at Shizuoka Hobby Show. Only thing I'm really interested in is the new MG Gundam Storm Bringer from Build DIvers. Looks like it borrows heavily from the GM DOminance mold, which means it's another GM SNiper II frame. (that's like the 6th kit using the GM SNiper frame thus far)

holy crap. Finally. Cloud saves!!!

9 of 12 CF's had parts breakage, mainly the triangle parts (both the shoulder triangle and the under slide-out triangles) and the knee joints. 1 or 2 also had really brittle canopies that had to be glued back in and one of the fighters even had a chest swing bar that broke apart and required the unit to be glued entirely into fighter mode. All of the CF battroid and Gerwalks have Shapeways shoulder triangle replacements and their slide-out triangles removed. The fighter modes were given all the intact triangles and all the broken knee joints since they don't need knee articulation. It's been rough but luckily I didn't pay retail for nearly all the CF's. the 171 Exes are all perfectly fine without any Parts breakage.

Omg i remember that. One of the two Mworld dudes I have met IRL lol

Cleaning Complete O_o

No joke I would literally sell off my entire DX VF-31 collection to fund a locust swarm of 1/72 plamo VF-31a's

IF you don't care about the box you can nab them on Mandarake for like 40 bucks before shipping https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1032159023&ref=dos The wings have the ordinance mounts on them so you can mount the missiles. Just make sure you buy the Alto version. (the other version is the regular VF-171 CF version) Yup they are easy to swap but the pegs are really loose on the Alto VF-171 EX. This was fixed on the VF-171 CF with its tighter pegs, but that CF has a whole host of other problems to say the least

VF_171 i my fav so I will sell literally everything before I sell these lol Believe it or not it's a lot less than 2K because the 9 broken VF-171 CF's I got were on the secondary market from disgruntled Early adopters who were offloading their broken VF-171's on Ebay and even here Macrossworld. Also when Mandarake had a fire-sale on their VF-171 EX armor parts for $30 I snapped up several boxes of them. I have no idea why peeps don't like it as much. It's got the old-school charm and none of the busy fragile backs with folded out wings that have plagued the VF-25, VF-27, YF-29, YF-30 and VF-31. Maybe it was just Bandai's execution that turned everyone off, especially on the QC plagued CF version Yeah I can't justify paying a mark-up on a valk that has a high chance to be broken. Yeah... believe it or not I am kinda hoping that doesn't happen. My model backlog is already too large
-
3 out of 12 have had 0 breakages...pretty bad track record lol
-
Annual VF-171 Fleet Cleaning using the spare bedroom :0 I really need to put these inside a glass shelf lol Edit: the bottle of Krazy Glue is there to fix any disintegrating VF-171 parts
-
If he used Tamiya Acryls he can use the same rubbing alcohol to remove it and try again. I think when my two arrive I'll do the visors at the same time. After cleaning I'll prolly opt for Tamiya Acryl Clear Blue thinned with X-20 thru an airbrush, followed by a few dips into a cup of Pledge / Future to protect the paint afterwards.
-
Visor Dipping is hit and miss. If you're paint isn't thin enough you'll get huge drops of paint forming at certain spots.
