    Hi-Metal R

    The limits were pretty crazy this time around. Amiami - 3 HS - unknown NY - 2 CDJ - 3 AE - 3 HLJ - 1 It was pretty easy to score hella CF VF-1a's Hell, AE has a great price and is still open for those that have the scratch to put down now http://www.anime-export.com/product/31460
  2. Exactly why I mentioned I don't care about how bad the landing gear looks I knew Bandai and landing gear have been crappy since the dawn of time :0
  3. Could care less about the landing gear. Mine will all be displayed in flight using the stand adapters and the action-base stands

    When the Fast Packs were out on the tamashii web store in the hi-metal days they were like 15 bucks a pop and came with stickers for all of skull squadron and a generic Kite symbol. I hope if/when they release hi-metal R fastpacks on the webstore they are also that affordable edit* HOT damn anime export has like one of the best prices. Screw it picked up 2x more. don't mind paying up front

    They authorized it. It'll pop off ur card and wont officially be charged until september. Just be sure u don't overspend in Sept so that you dont get a lil surprise when cdj claims that authorization from ur cc company

    May the F5 be with you kekekeke
  10. 1:48 VF-1A Low Vis 1 for life. No other yamacadia valk has appealed to me as much as this one thus far...some 12+ years later The 1/48 is like the new Chunky Monkey for many of us Not as refined and beautiful as the new stuff but who cares when you have a bigass valk?
  11. I think it's more the plastic used on the CF's as well. They broke apart like nothing. Zero of my Alto,Maruyama,Luca 171's have any QC issues at all, and I do have a lot of them. Kinda sucks I had to get shapeways replacements for all my Battroid / gerwalk CF 171's while the good shoulders and triangles were given to the fighters
  12. The 1/72 is no replacement for the DX, but they are infinitely easier to acquire and with a little elbow grease you will get a nicer-looking single pose valk at a fraction of the DX price. However, if you wanna play, the models are a big no-no unless you hate yourself and love suffering. Just ask any married man (j/k, just recently married) Now that we know Hayate's custom cockpit allows him to fly without a helmet, does that mean we won't get a generic helmeted pilot figure for our VF-31J? If so that sucks, because I wanted to make a non-canon VF-31J. The Models are great bases for custom jobs which is why they appeal to me, despite my huge DX collection.
  13. Looks like Dengeki Hobby put up pics of the S ver, complete with oversized headlasers http://hobby.dengeki.com/news/190854/
  14. This is pretty cool. We get a crapton of spare parts, including an extra TV-pilot Also, new Phone Background lol
  15. Also kinda concerning is that's a new sample and the red pinstripes are already chipped. Mine are like 4 yrs old and still solid

    vf-1a will be easy to get in Japan. Never had any issues getting one post release

    Hi-Metal R

    It's that tiny. The legacy hi metal hikaru and max had this microscopic tv pilot. They are reusing the mold it seems
  18. I think the reason I'm not enjoying this series is the music, believe it or not. The non vocal background music is cheap PSX / Ps2 jrpg generic music while Mac Frontier got the full Symphonic orchestra treatment much like Mac Plus. The non-vocal music in Mac F gave it a sense if epicness that I just don't see or feel here.
  19. There were early pics that showed the gunpod. The stand hooks into the gunpod and there's a removable filler piece to flush out the gunpod for those who won't be using the stand

    Hi-Metal R

    Wow, it looks like the VF-1A is getting two new headsculpts. The legacy Hi-metal 1A's head has a stubbier antennae and the Markings on the Chin are distinctly different. Also, the angling of the black eye piece on the new one is a little more aggressive. I hope we see the rest of DYRL skull squadron sometime soon. (I can't believe I got my MAX 1A with fast pack addon set for only 7500yen on Mandarake)

    Bandai DX VF-31

    The VF-27 and Rod YF-29 were glossy though :0 But yeah, any actually new chassis since the YF-30 have been matte which has been great. Way more premium feel
  22. HLJ sends payment request when item is ready to ship. Since you PO'd what looks to be a May Restock, you won't be charged until May The Rod and Alto are basically the same except for the Pilot fig and gunpod. Don't remember if the two nibs on the head are reversed on the Rod like they are on the Anniversary "roy" 29.
