  1. Man I wish they had done the alternate schemes on the webstore to milk the mold. That Decepticon one was awesome

    Prolly because a lot of casual robotech fans might not know about the HMR line and even if they did I doubt many would pay the hefty premium for bandai products
  3. I wasn't being serious, Just wanted to poke fun at the boring "ace" dogfights between keith and messer and how they never transform OOh, look, my Arch nemesis!! scissors moves, scissors moves... GARRAGAG VAR syndrome GAAGGGARG, more scissors moves....never using gerwalk or battroid...even...once Anyways back on topic... I just hope the production model doesn't look so gappy from the side. If the production-release is gappy like that I'll prolly skip this DX and get a model kit instead
  4. The Draken looks kinda fat from the side. Maybe they should just release a fighter-only DX that's slimmed down. It's not like Keith or Messer know how to transform anyways
  5. I really hope next time two aces fight they remember that they're flying VARIABLE fighters, if u know what I mean
  6. Man the Tamashii Webstore Campaign is driving me nuts. Long story short, Ingram unit 2 will be stocked on the tamashii web store, in commemoration of unit 1 / 2 they're adding some sorta fun bonus campaign. In all ingram unit 1 boxes you get a sheet with some instructions, (prolly a code) and then if you order unit 2 on the webstore you'll get some special option parts that can be used on the command car for Unit 2 and also special parts for Ingram 1 and Ingram 2. They'll announce the special rewards later.

    My GOD. that Mykombini is 200-some yen above what you'd pay in JAPAN after sales tax. HIGHWAY ROBBERY http://tamashii.jp/item/11427/ /sarcasm How spoiled we've become with Bandai Preorders. Remember when peeps just grabbed 25-30 dollar marked up PO's on NY back "in the day'........

    SAL is super crazy. If you luck out and there's not a lot of volume going out of Japan SAL can be as fast as EMS. Other times you'll be waiting 3-4 weeks. Therefore can't really say. CDJ packs their stuff really well and they ship very timely so you should be ok with SAL from them.

    But..but..marauder is Innersphere...... on a side note, I really hope somebody makes pilots for these
  10. Wow that's a surprise. Considering the price on the 1/100 VF-1's and the destroids from Wave I'm assuming this one will be pretty pricey too. Buuut.. first ever injection molded VF-4 model... sign me up
  11. No Matter how I look at it the model kit version of that drak looks.... wonky for some reason. I dunno what it is.
  12. I think Male TV pilots would be on top of the list, followed by perhaps Fem TV and DYRL pilots.

    herp derp we'll have the right chest stripes on our anime drawing but not the actual toy, like on the original HM 1J

    I love the pay up front shops. The POs stay open for so much longer and I get no surprise payment requests on release day

    Hi-Metal R

    Screw it I picked one up at AE. WIll swap in a regular clear canopy instead of the blue, Recast DYRL pilot and change the red to grey I blame having a ton of cash in my paypal balance after my recent sales

    I think it's more of a safety net release to pad the numbers. HMR took some risks on the monster, glaug and regult so i figure they'll throw in a safety here or there

    Thank god I'm not participating in this one. Have work tomorrow at 7AM ET
  18. Standard Packaging with sticker. Look for the gold stickers on the right side. These clear ver are all what i bought.
  19. The decals are BOSS. I bought like 5 kits for the decals, then gave away the clear kits to my nephews cuz hell if I'll build clear crap since it breaks so easily lol. Best part is they come with the stock decals as well I got only 1J's so that's why I have 1J decals on mine. Would prefer the 1A's though since the 1A's have low vis UN kites on their sheet.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Gotta disagree. The original hi metals were boss. It's just at the time bargain bin yammiesn flooded the market so there wasn't much interest and the line died. The vf-1's are 99% the same

    Gonna skip out on the tv hikky. Already.got 2 from legacy line. Plus it was a pain to recast two tiny dyrl pilots without having to resort to slow cure resin and an electric toothbrush to vibrate my mold to get the bubbles out.

    Hi-Metal R

    ooooh, recast time when I get mine (but won't sell any since that'd be bad bad)
  23. Props for the little TV-style hud. Great attention to detail.
  24. To be honest the show is finally starting to be enjoyable to watch. They're finally starting to mix the music in better with the dogfighting and it feels much more macross-y. I think what I didn't like was how up until now some of the songs just felt out of place for what was happening on the screen, but that's changing now it seems. Yoko Kanno is a friggin hard act to follow. I hope whoever is doing Delta keeps it up. And yeah, those VF-31A's :0
