    I wouldn't be surprised if they start requiring a non-refundable deposit from this point on. Cancelling preorders just 2 weeks before during the invoice period is not good news as at that pt it's too late for the retailer to back out of obligations it's made on behalf of the customers

    I only cancelled my NY preorder a month ago because I got both HLJ and Otacute for 50 bucks less each. People suddenly expecting price-drops at release date might be surprised when Bandai lowers production again due to a huuuuge deadstock of 171's.

    The original "Cool to have" Yammie be grey

    I got two on preorder with parts sets from HLJ. Will let you guys know when I build it up. Got too many Bandai kits in the queue :0 3 VF-25's, 3 1/35 Ingrams, 2 cosmo zeros and soon to be two vf-1's O_O

    Taking a second look at that photo. The tag for Alto and Ozma Super parts says: 受け付け終了, which basically means no longer available. True to their tamashii web exclusive ways they do not look to be doing reissue of the armored parts and presumably the super parts as well. Alto's tag lists the re-release date with (re-release) in parentheses after it. Ozma's tag does NOT have that. So therefore no plans to Re-issue Ozma just yet.

    The decals on the bandais are terribad. I've built everything from Revell / Monogram as a child to hase's, tamiyas and even kinect and trumpeteer and never have I see decals that sucked so bad as the Frontier ones. The trimming isn't the issue, it's the dot-matrix printing and utter lack of white backing that makes them look awful.

    I've got a few on preorder. have a ton of hasegawa decals to use in case the bandai ones suck balls.

    Wow... bummer that the 171's dropped in price this much but oh well, that's the market for you. Did I overpay for the 171's I bought? No, because I was willing to pay the marked up price at the time of preorder because they were worth that much to me. I think after this a lot of retailers may start requiring down-payments on preorders. With Scalpers hogging up huge amounts of preorders Bandai misread the queues and produces more 171's to meet the artificially increased demand. Now with all the scalpers gone they're stuck with a crapton of deadstock. Or.... bandai could always freaking change how they manage their preorders so that we don't have this bullcrap in the first place

    I would assume they are used for transmitting sheryl / ranka's songs via the fold crystals. After all wasn't that the whole point of the YF-29?

    It's up at NY for...around teh same price as AMIAMI O_O http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/5304-1-60-vf-1j-valkyrie-macross-30th-anniversary-color.html

    If anyone hasn't noticed it's up at NY for decent price. CHeaper than HLJ! http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/5304-1-60-vf-1j-valkyrie-macross-30th-anniversary-color.html

    Tamiya Extra-thin is nice but I wouldn't use it as your first glue. Stick with testors liquid cement. It's a little thicker easier to work-with. Don't get the tube crap, get the model-master one that has a long metal nozzle Also avoid the non-toxic versions, they don't work for crap. Use only a little glue, just enough to cover the parts you're joining. Eventually you'll get the feel for it and after you're proficient at using thicker glues you can move onto the thinner glues like tamiya extra thin.

    Tenjin should stick to valk paintings and not Valk paint schemes O_o

    My second 29 + packs, which I preordered in March, are still Prep in Progress. Freaking NY....

    Those ventral lerx things are way too fragile
  16. Duymon
    Nail polish is the best solution. Just put a few coats on until you get a tighter joint. On the other hand, one of my other friends just glued his engine pivots straight so they'll never, ever pivot again lol

    Can't wait for NY to ship my second 29.
  18. Duymon
    IT's going on pre-order same day as the Lucas on 06/14 apparently. Will be super easy to get thank god.
  19. Duymon
    Welp, my packs finally came in from NY. Weirdly, my extra YF-29 + packs that I preordered together back in March are still prep in progress......
  20. Duymon
    Maybe they used the 1/55's as a reference lol
  21. Duymon
    How strange. The super packs I ordered standalone already shipped, but the YF-29 / Super pack combo I also preordered is still prep in progress. /le sigh Can't wait to have my 30th YF-29's setup like my alto 29's
  22. Duymon
    look at the other pics. Heatshield is integral.
  23. Duymon
    Perhaps people are going to start supporting Arcadia / Yamato at retail price-points because we don't want to see them go away again :0

    I've been looking at a lot of Japanese macross blogs and a lot of fans said they'd rather have the minmei guard than the 30th 1J. Perhaps that had some influence? BTW the text that IXTL posted is just some background info about the Minmei Guard squadron

    can't be helped. I'm just going to mount magnets in the arms to get it to work. Will be a fun project
