I wonder how Bandai will do all the locks on the same spots as the 1/72 model. Surely they will not have a removable front gear so the landing gear lock of the model is out...i hope....lol

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 14 - READ 1st POST
Duymon replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
I can understand about 85% of the raw which is pretty much good enough to understand each ep. I would hate to have to transcribe each episode, translate and edit the video with perfect timing. It's almost as much as a full-time job. Unless people are paying for these FANsubs they really can't complain about delays. -
Looks like solid work. I am curious, are the decals also sort of magazine-print dotty up close as well? I swear Bandai is the only company I know that makes dot-printy decal sheets that look really meh. I would seriously pay the extra 5-10 bucks for a cartograph decal sheet :0

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 14 - READ 1st POST

Make sure to watch until after the credits :0 I think the recap-opening style is sorta..... blagh. -
Also the legs aren't flush on the sides like they are on the 30 which accounts for a little gappiness, especially when you look at the legs' ourterpanels and how they line up with the wings. I guess it was way easier on the 30 cuz the legs had much simpler (and straight) geometry

Wow that NY price was nice, but I already snagged one from HLJ so I didn't really care to check other sites lol

Part of me is like " ooooh, I really want to get these!" But then the other part of me says "pay 20 bucks more and get a Naked Hi-metal" I also still have the entire Series 1 and 2 of the 1/144 chara works valks O_o

I picked up the models because the V1's were god awful. I then picked up the Renewals later on because had the aesthetics of the models with the locking and playability of toys. Doing a side by side the renwals have like 90% or more of the same paneling detail as the models so if you really wanted to you could really make a renewal look pretty nice. The fighter and gerwalk modes blow the model out of the water in terms of looks and stability. The Battroid is prolly a close tie. You also don't need adapter pieces for gunpods (cept on the RVF-25) or separate hands to facilitate a perfect transformation either. You get what you pay for considering retail renewal is over 3x the price of the models.

REALLY? Paint guns? Bruh......... F that. If It was a figure set or something it'd be a totally different story

Pretty much the only way to get an Armored VF-25 at a reasonable price is to buy the 1/72 model or settle for the craptastic V1. The V2 Armored parts will only continue to become more and more expensive unless Bandai for some reason does a release either as a bundle or something. (maybe an Itasha) However, with Macross Delta stuff coming out soon I doubt we'll see a revisit to the Macross F DX line for quite some time. YF-25 is just like all the other VF-25s and has no holes. However, it does have hardpoint markers so you know where to glue the missiles. I literally just clipped off the connectors from the missile pylons, sanded them flush, used a pin vise to drills holes in both the wings and pylons, and then pinned and super glued them on.

Yeah the Brexit hammered Asian Exchange rates. Will need to wait a few for the markets to stabilize again.

Just wait for somebody on MW to offload their sets. I just sold an Ozzy armored set for 265 shipped in a heartbeat :0
-
I Just canceled by VF-31J PO. There's no stock pilot fig and I'm planning on making a non-hayate valk :0 Will just have to settle for the VF-31S and then maybe an A or so down the line.

Anyone check out the new-ish Page Bandai put up for this 1/72 line? http://bandai-hobby.net/site/character_macrossd/scalemodel.html Some nice pics and even a nice PDF download Here's some quick snaps of the brochure It's looking to be some great insight to how everything moves around on the VF-31, though we already had a good idea from the YF-30. Also, a pic of the straight from box build without paint. Looks like a lot of decaling / stickering / painting, but we expected that. . *EDIT* SPRUE PICS from This Blog

I'll just grab one from CDJ or AE. Also need to make more DYRL pilots since the TV ones are microscopic

OOOOOH Pretty BOXES (courtesy of Tag hobby)
-
Pretty sure they'll release standalone supers. Sure it'll be a pain to unassemble to install the suler specific parts but whatev
-
The problem is everyone that wanted one already had one from 2012. Rereleasing the exact same toy without any sort of change is kinda meh
-
Anyone who has bought aftermarket pits for modern aircraft models are pretty used to the price. Some aftermarket pits cost more than the kit itself lol.
-
BoxARt via Taghobby The Battroid is looking pretty legit Landing gear is comically bad but what'd you expect it's Bandai Only concern is the Rotation joint for the gerwalk A-stance is the same as the DX VF-19; right behind the intake instead which is kinda awkward to pose. On a side note, It's nice to know this guy will have tabs for a solid fighter mode, you can see the tab in the gerwalk pic near the back of the wings.

Did Bandai add elbows to the 1/100 variable Arii kits?
Duymon replied to crazysteve's topic in Model kits
It never had elbow swivels so it's a custom job for sure. -
Hello old yamato buying habits. We missed u. (ie wait for big hlj sale)

I am not concerned at all about securing a preorder. Will just hit anime export since a lot less people like paying upfront
