I guess the next question is... what color will this 1j be? TV white or DYRL white/grey? Here's the comparison of the old hi-metals
-
aaand. it's gone again. This wasn't using the "trick", I was actually just searching by hi-metal and it popped up as add to cart O_o Get the feeling there will be many unfulfilled orders if people keep making bogus orders

Do you prefer TV or DYRL paint scheme?
Duymon replied to potatotomato's topic in Movies and TV Series
Neither. They should all by Low Viz grey or gtfo. -
If that's really the production shade of plastic they are using it'll be really nice as it won't be the same strong white used in the 1st hi-metal 1J, which was super prone to yellowing.
-
I didn't even bother trying to Preorder since I already have 2 1J's heheh. Maybe I"ll pick one up on Mandarake after release. No real rush here

THE PRICE *runs away*

It's exactly the same mold to me. It's just the photoshop power and the other pic is a bad one.
-
They fixed the pilot figure. YES!!!! but at the same time it looks a lil funny seeing a DYRL pilot painted in TV colors

If you've ever built the VF-1 Kit you'll see it's pretty much a no go as the piece that locks the canopy in is secured by two pegs which are glued in. Pretty much removing that piece requires an exacto knife at min and you're not gonna get it off without some damage and maybe even slicing the pegs.

I'd love to see what Kicker's total is

Feels like Evolution Toy is the unknown kid that asks the pretty girl out to Prom out of the blue. Whether he ends up being a prince or crashes and burns in epic fashion, I guess we'll need to wait until the dance to find out.

Any hobby is a money sink. I Just tell my SO that she should be glad I don't collect cars or something Back on Topic, it's gonna be fun having some CF's around. I wonder if they'll at least include the transparent green canopy like on the brera?
-
My Plan when I get mine is.... Had lots of luck removing tampo with it before, and it's worked on Bandai tampo (i tried it on a spare 171 CF wing and it stripped it easy) afterwards I'll whip out my Iwata airbrush and masking tape
-
I'm not really gonna rant about luxury toys that have no bearing on our survival or well-being. I'm just happy and fortunate that I can still obtain these toys while fulfilling my fiscal responsibilities ($$$Bills bills bills everywhere$$$)

might get a few of these

The answer hasn't changed after 11 years I was a broke Exchange Student in Japan and spent 3/4 of my months' food budget on a Low Viz V1. (14,800 yen wasn't a bad price though) NO Regrets. I was too fat anyways. *on a side note, anyone else done the "Macross Diet" ? teheheheh
-
When this happened to one of my CF's I didn't bother trying to make a traditional repair. I filled the thigh with Epoxy and after it cured drilled a hole into it. Then I pinned the lower leg and glued it permanently in fighter position and left it it fighter mode The overly engineered design plus the shoddy plastic makes a lot of the CF 171's dodgy. Best of luck

When you say you need to temper the Bandai Love it's as if you feel it's your duty to quell what you may see as Bandai Fanboism. Writing statements like this, when read by some, resembles the very same fanboism that you are trying to "temper"; just from a different camp. Nobody ever said they were gonna be replacements or upgrades to the 1/60's. Nobody as far as I can tell has written anything that sh@ts on Yamacardia products. Just because a macross product doesn't meet your tastes doesn't it mean it's bad for other people to like it or, god forbid, prefer them.
-
I just don't see how much more perfect transformation you can get at this size unless you compromise durability. You can already transform from Fighter to battroid without swapping anything outside of the canopy / heatshield. I look at Bandai's 1/72 which has everything integrated, then I look at the 1/100 which is smaller and goes for simplicity, and I gotta say the Hi-Metal wins hands down. Are they going to surpass Yammies? Hell no. But they'll make great toys with play with and display on your desk at work or something
-
Are you thinking of the right 1/100 Bandai Valks? Outside of the Canopy / heatshield swap and having to attach the gun-handle the Hi-metal VF-1's are perfect transformation.

I guess peeps don't like the YF-29B enough lol considering you'd pay 19440 in a brick and mortar store in Japan 19.8 didn't seem bad, plus the exchange rate is so good for us Americans at least :0

The fact that CDJ is still up.. after all this time ... is a miracle. 900 yen is 7.5 USD. So CDJ is 7.5 USD more expensive than HLJ but nobody bites lol
-
CDJ price and HLJ price were pretty close. Within 900 Yen. Got one from each. Could care less bout NY atm as I have a policy of only 2 of each 29 :0
