Ok so I've been transforming mine and I really really hate the VF-31 gerwalk leg joint for the A-stance. The deal killer is the ankles don't have enough twist to make the unit look like it's actually standing in A-stance so it looks awkward. I would have much preferred the same style of joint as the DX VF25's and even the upcoming DX VF-31 where the thighs are more static and the swivel is at the knee. It just looks so much better. I guess maybe it was impossible due to durability concerns?

So I just built up my 31S. Gotta say glue is an absolute must. Tamiya Extra-Thin worked really well and will prevent a lot of rage when pieces of your 31 just keep popping...off...everywhere.
-
Lol it's cheaper to get the on-sale VF-31J and Supers separate than it is to buy the bundle pack
-
Actually that's not the case. The VF-171 EX alto came out way before the 171 CF and the Alto was perfect. the CF was just QC failures because either bandai or the factory they contracted to make the CF 171's was sketchy

Preordered mine so peacefully at Nippon-yasan. Also.. why has NY gotten so NSFW-ish lately?
-
NO rush to order the Milia. It's a tamashii web exclusive thank GOD. Hello Nippon-yasan again
-
I'm actually happier to see Leon & Mina from Mac30 make a reappearance than I am about playing any of the Delta characters, probably because even though they only appeared in a game they were more developed than any of the chars from Mac Delta thus far
-
Pretty sure Tamashii Metal Build is NOT macross related. It's been like 100% gundam up to this point and just like Macross releases they've been quite a headache to acquire online. Because somebody at Bandai just wants to see the world burn, they open POs for Metal builds and DXes at the same time so often or not collectors are forced to choose to between a Metal Build or a DX / hi-metal. Trying for both usually results in cart-jacking.

Trust me you would have been just as dissapointed with the stickers as they are even more transparent than the stickers O_o
-
Some people run website monitors that allow them to see real time changes to websites. If they happen to be online when a change is made they can check it and get an order in. Issue is 2-fold with Bandai Preorders as always. On one side Bandai doesn't have high preorder numbers to start with. The second issue is many online shops are pay-later preorders so Scalpers have nothing to lose by nabbing preorders and then trying to flip them on YHJ or Amazon.co.jp

I guess they went for ostrich-y colors fastpacks on that exclusive? 20 bucks would be a generous price for these pieces of doodoo. I think I paid 25 for the VF-1A like 10 years ago and it fell apart with broken polycaps very quickly. 54.99 seems like a crazy price to pay :0
-
That clear-cockpit option is sweet
-
Believe it or not the regult was everywhere for weeks because Japanese collectors apparently don't have the time, money or space to army build.
-
Keep your preorder. Mainstream stores will sell out of this pretty fast and by feb you're only going to find it in the 2nd-hand or collector shops in Akiba and they'll be marked up for sure. Only the shelf warmers stay around for long
-
With the wave pricing model you could probably pick up a bandai Hi-metal for about the same price, no joke
-
Looking at $1200 USD + just for Delta 1-5 + that keith 262. So many hobbies, so little money :0
-
Oooh, hurts too much to laugh.... so sad at the last Major ACE Combat title

Why does everyone like do the DYRL version first?
-
Wow the gerwalk leg joint is way better than on the Model kits that use the VF-19 advanced joint type. I'll be in for one or two. Luckily I'm on night shift so I'll be up anyways hehehehe
-
When you see it on the tiny PS Vita Screen It'll look just fine imho
-
So..there's nothing special about the Run-PIka edition other than extra songs to set at BGM when playing? Like 30 bucks for 30 more tracks that are game-size and only available on your vita..... That's a pretty weak Limited Edition...

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 16 - READ 1st POST
Duymon replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Who cares about realism? We have big honking transforming robots fighting aliens with magical fold wave powers. Me like Robots. Me like planes. Planes turning to Robots is cool. Let's not even get into realism when like half the planes in Macross don't even have enough control surfaces to fly right without massive amounts of thrust vectoring (I'm lookin at you VF-1!) -
I wish the pin-point barriers were absent and instead they had some freaking missiles. Like nothing comes with missiles. The only reason I have an arsenal of missiles is my crazy vf-171 collection.

Mobile version would be trash without blue-tooth controller support. Vita does appear to have a strong following in Japan still due to the plethora of creepy moe dating games and whatnot. I swear last time I was in Akiba earlier this year 80% of the Vita games section was Dating sims and other Moe games :0
