    Bandai DX VF-31

    Prolly wouldn't be an issue since he'd be ejecting in Ex-gear and there's probably something that takes care of that issue

    painted recast dyrl hikaru looks fine. kinda like the 1/100 wave kit
  3. I guess it's just an economies of scale thing. Bandai somehow manages to Tampo a crapload of stuff (sometimes even too much) onto the DX'es with no huge price increase while a smaller indie firm like arcadia has to mark up a 10-yr old toy another 100 bucks to tampo a tiny bit more. Honestly instead of the tampo people should just buy sets of 1/60 decals that are widely available on ebay and whatnot and do a quick future -> decals -> flat-coat (though that's only for peeps that model. pure toy collectors are kinda sol)

    Yeah the battroid tabs would help a ton on the Chronos. Fighter and gerwalk are both pretty solid already though save the vertical stabilizers.

    I hate the teeny weeny TV pilots. Screw Canon. I recasted some DYRL pilots from the 1A's and will be installing them in my max, hikky and milia whenever that arrives. Gotta paint it up next
  7. I said the same thing. My Model Storage area looks like a hobby shop with boxes stacked high

    That's too easy. It makes too much sense. Better to stick with the Ban / order cancel / Free Pass Lottery that is HLJ Friend mailed HLJ and got his account back. He has no orders at all, they were all cancelled. double dipping limited items at HLJ is a lottery

    One of my collector friends double-dipped at HLJ yesterday. He sent me this screenshot just now. I warned him multiple times not to do it. You can imagine the amount of foul language in the texts I have received from him since. He lost a Draken and VF-31F preorder. Because HLJ is all over the place with enforcement and penalties dolled out I won't risk my preorders lol
  10. I like the Idea but wallet says Hell no. I pulled a spanner and have 3x of each variant, so that's like 18 VF-25's I'd need to sell and replace O_o

    I am basing my opinion on the super vf-31J that's out for the 1/72 model series. I build mine up and it just doesn't look as good as I thought it would lol. By the time I built my super J I had already PO'd and paid at NY so I'll just keep 1 set around in case my opinion changes in the future lol.

    Even if they release a 31j messer web exclusive I wouldn't buy super parts for it. Super parts look pretty ugly imho. The just don't fit the valks as well as the VF-25 Super / ARmored parts did
  13. There was a garage kit conversion for the VF-25 Kit, but the VF-25 Kit is an iffy kit and I'm not sure you can transform it with the conversion on.

    yeah he prolly would've gotten it had it been a slow seller or a no-limit item. I know some people weren't as lucky and just got straight suspended, losing their other hard-to-get preorders in the process. With a 262 and a 31F on PO I didn't want to chance it on a Valk that I don't really want/need 3 of. I bet the 31J Messerized will be a web exclusive anywho and it'd be awkward to have so many J's already

    Too bad you can't double-dip at HLJ for these 1-offs. I got the original PO so I'm going to play it safe and not order it :0
  16. Splatoon 2 gameplay and explanation video (Japanese) Was lots of fun to watch
  17. Today I got to try the switch in NYC, was only a block from one of the train stops I Use in midtown. waited 2.5 hours to get 10 min of playtime. Thing is heavier than I thought, but it feels pretty solid. I think if you marathon game in mobile mode you might want to use table-top mode unless your arms are buff. I couldn't find an important thing for a mobile console: a metal hardpoint for a wrist-strap. I know the thing is a hybrid but I would really prefer to have a hardpoint for wrist-strap when playing on the train or something just in case sombeody bumps me and I lose my grip on the switch. Wrist strap has saved my PS Vita 100x already Today I asked about storage capacity, the staff member said switch can support up to 256gb Micro SD's in addition to the internal 32gb. Zelda is supposedly like 16-ish gigs so 15-ish games can be stored on mem if you're using a 256gb micro SD and the internal storage. Add to that one game in the cartridge slot and any other carts you carry around in your bag. Quite a big of gaming you can carry around. I with other major companies used standardized memory formats in their mobile game devices*cough*screwsony*cough* Anywho, super excited to get my switch in 6 weeks or so. Will then instantly trade in that $90 dock,hdmi cable and charger set towards a game purchase (got my own usb-c chargers anyways)
  18. Just watched the Japanese stream for Mario Cart... 40 Chars, 48 tracks.. ability to play 1-4 in either TV or tablet mode and it looks to run real smooth O_o Funny enough I find these Japanese-only events much more enjoyable

    See? this is why Spanner just buys 3+ of each so he gets less paint chips since he won't ever need to transform anything

    AE's shipping rates are pretty good. They also have a private warehouse function much like HLJ. You always pay for the item first and they store it for you until you make shipping requests.

    every store has their quirks amd weird rules. maybe having another CS guy would eat into their profits so they make rules like that to cut down on their backend support tickets if their 5th rate grab a refund and order the parts from Anime export so you don't have to support them

    Bandai DX VF-31

    maybe it's just too niche of a product for them to carry officially and they don't appear to be lacking in product to sell thru their fulfillment partners. even if Amazon.co.jp had these officially it would be a pain to order for internationals who by a large majority would have to use a middleman.
  23. I'm watching the Japanese livestream right now Pretty cringey but so much easier to understand what's going on and what they're saying without the english interpreters lol Luckily nobody is speaking mega fast like Suda51 so it's easy to understand. THey are mainly showing casual gimmick party games right now though.....

    But what happens to Hi-Metal R sales when SH9000 runs out of space to store all the boxes?
