    Hi-Metal R

    I am so weak. I broke down and nabbed a VF-1s 35th on NY.... I still kinda regret my full-priced Arcadia Tenjin 30th 1J

    As long as you're not like digging your finger nails into the panel lines flory's stays on really well without clear coat, especially with small panel lines like on the HMR's.

    Hi-Metal R

    If you guys want to panel line and are super lazy like me just get a bottle of Flory's Model Wash and never look back. It's a water based wash using clay pigment and not only flows super well, if you're an advanced user (not Duy) you can smear it for weathering as well. This literally took 5 minutes with just a brush and a moist papertowel
  4. I love the idea of a new Legioss but not at Arcadia prices from a company who's only history of transforming airplane mecha is the mediocre VF-2ss
  5. This is mega late. I showed my passport and they filled out some tiny form and stuck it in my passport.
  6. MG Unicorn Ver Ka had a buttload of decals if I recall. I'd expect the RG to include a bunch of red text decals to bring it in line with the rest of the RG line. They love their red text :0
  7. Is it crazy that I want to buy one of these kits just for the nice pilot fig, recast it and then see if I can stick in in my 1/60 DX'es? The DX pilot figs suck
  8. welp... I'm going to be switch-less for about 6 weeks... Wife asked if she could take the Switch and MK8D to Japan to play with her sister. In return she'll pickup some Ez to find crap in Japan like the Hori Stand and the Seiken Densetsu collection that's being released in June. Maybe I should buy a second switch......
  9. I can't recall if the paintguns were ever used on the actual ingrams. I only remember the training ingrams using them O_o. Might have to re-watch the show.. hmm... training ingrams... THOSE would be a legit webshop awesome exclusive, not an iconic mecha like unit 2... that'd be almost as freaking retarded as Macross making Roy a webshop exclu....oh wait....nm
  10. Wow that's really odd O_o Bandai Fail. The Ingram 1's pop up here and there on Madarake and Jungle. I think I got mine on YHA 2 yrs ago for 29800 yen which isn't awful. If you get one make sure you grab the pit-road 1/24 command car too. 1/24 Yammy is still the best ever Ingram toy imho. My only complaint is the half-assed patlamp lights that don't look nearly as good as the Bandai 1/35 or the CM's Brave Gohkin

    Bandai DX VF-31

    flory's is the bomb. i use it for literally everything now because it's so much easier than even enamel washing
  12. Woo Hoo, unit 2 finally came in. Customs only held it for 28 days :0 I think all unit 2's came with the paint guns and they're pretty underwhelming for exclusive accessories. Was kinda surprised the riot gun doesn't have a moving stock, you need to parts-form it to have it deployed or stowed. Otherwise great release
  13. Jungle sells used valks all the time. When I went to their Radio City akiba location a year ago I nabbed a loose but complete Luca RVF-25 for 6000 yen

    Hi-Metal R

    That's a cool-looking VF-1S. it kinda reminds me of those bootleg valks you see in Chinatown, which is why I might just pass on it lol If they're dabbling in Macross Delta I would've totally gone for a VF-1EX Hayate / Mirage double-set. Oh well.....
  15. Out of 12, 5 had triangles broken. I actually bought sturdy 3d printed triangles for all the gerwalk / battroid ones since you don't need the tampo details visible. I then uses all the OEM triangles I removed from those 8 valks to mix and match for a good set of 4 for the fighter modes valks. Do IT. Join the evil VF-171 bandwagon. I bought most of mine for 30-60% off MSRP from Mandarake and other members who got bumb VF-171's Radar Domes 4 life
  16. Favorites: 1. DX VF-171EX Luca - EWACS Nightmare valk? What more is there to say? 2. DX VF-171EX Maruyama / Alto - Solid Valk that is beautiful in all 3 modes. I love how the VF-171 is old-school without all the wings sticking out in the back crap 3. DX VF-171 CF (even with the crappy shoulders). Nothing beats Cannon fodders even if their toy representations feature ultra-realistic shattering. I own Freaking 12 of these things and If they made a Macross Delta CF-171 dear god save me Least favorites: 1. Yamato VF-1 V1 Series. I only bought them because they were the only game in town. Super Meh, even though I bought one on super duper sale from Jerry at VF1x.com waaaay back in the day 2. Yamato YF-21 / VF-22. Getting the legs back into fighter mode and god forbid rolling the valk backwards when its landing gear is out 3. Yamato V2 YF-19. Exploding dorsal hinge and biceps I am sure if I had owned a Bandai V1 VF-25 it'd make the worst list as well. Conclusion: Duy has irrational love of VF-171's
  17. holy crap I never noticed that O_O that's crazy attention to detail in the original. Maybe they didn't want to make two sets of animations for both sides in the remake
  18. I just finished unlocking everything in Wonder Boy 3: Dragon's Trap. It was totally worth the 20 bucks and it ran beautifully on the switch in both mobile and docked modes. But then again it's an entirely 2D game hehe. After playing wonderboy all the other remakes I've seen feel so... meh in comparison lol

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Distance is meaningless when your package arrival speed is determined by the whims of your postal services; especially if you opted for el-cheapo shipping that doesn't have a guaranteed shipping speed/time Case and point... my Side Labor Ingram Unit 2 shipped end of March, arrived in New York on 4/1 and has been sitting there for 25 days. Just knowing your new toy is sitting less than a mile away from where you work and is stuck there because post office people and customs really take their time is frustrating to say the least

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I transformed my 31F to battroid and proceeded to be repulsed at the head. I then realize I didn't notice how ugly it was because I never saw it in the show outside of like the first episode. 31F will stay in Fighter mode. I hope they release Death Scissors smoke trails for the 31F since that's all ever saw it do in the show

    I didn't like mini Milia. Had to use inspiration from how she looks in Macross Delta Scramble with her red DYRL pilot suit

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So I got my Messer in hand. Make sure to nail polish the inside of the unicorn plug because mine falls out super easy O_o

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I had them ship via EMS. NY CUstoms is wildly inconsistent. I have a side-labor ingram 2 that only took 2 days to get from HK to US, but has been in customs for 32 days lmao

    Bandai DX VF-31

    No Joke. When I checked my HLJ tracking it came in a few hours ago to NYC.... over weekend shipping O_O

    Hi-Metal R

    canopy is molded in blue and it's retarded. I Just borrowed the clear canopies from one of my 1A's that's in battroid.
