because that would make sense. Japanese companies like Bandai are super super slow to adopt a different approach. Once they commit to one way of doing things they sorta stick to it despite the fact that they may not be doing the absolute best way. Trust me I've worked in japanese companies for 10 years.
-
my guess is Bandai did not produce as much as these aren't as popular as the vf-25's. Let's just hope if they are ever made, the YF-25, the alternate YF-29's and the YF-30 are tamashii exclusives...
-
otacute and hlj will pop up randomlyso it's pretty much 100% luckfor those two :0 then there's NY.... I like the VF-27 but not 230-250 dollars like
-
just 1 that's the limit on the preorder

HOBBY SEARCH GOGOGOGO

Still have 6 windows open of other shops. 4.5 hours more of my shift to go.
-
amiami just died
-
Jesus Christ I go for a break expecting the window to be at 0300 and I miss this at NY..gaaah

I Just have chrome with the auto-refresh addon. You can set how many seconds there are between refreshes as well. From now until around 2:30 I keep it at 60 seconds, but then bump it up to 15 seconds near window time. On a side note, I wonder if the pilot figs will be a new sculpt or if they'll be the gummy-bear V1's?
-
on night shift tonight. Already have 6 windows up auto-refreshing. Will get at least one I think, though goal is 2.

Dude that sucks. The only thing I had was a tight ventral LERX flap (the black one that folds in under the superthin plastic strip when going to gerwalk / battroid) Had to get a tiny lil screwdriver to take it apart and lightly sand both sides so that it moved smoothly. it's gonna be hard to repair that to full functionality. Minus well make that piece closed canopy only

FYI if you're still looking for one at a decent price, http://plamoya.com/en/dx-chogokin-macross-frontier-vf171-nightmare-plus-general-machin-p-70617.html'>Plamoya has em for 156, EMS is 32 so it'll be 188 shipped, which is better than NY (171 + 32 EMS or 19 SAL) I too have noticed the small scratches people talk about on these suckers. It sucks, but I use http://www.amazon.com/Squadron-Products-Sanding-Stick-Tri-Grit/dp/B000CDM4PY'>Squadron Tri-Grit Stick to polish out the small scratches for a super shiny finish. After that and panel lining I think I'm gonna need to get a coat of future on these bad boys to protect that smooth finish. Just debating if I should just go glossy or if I should add some Tamiya Flat Base to the future to get more of a satin finish *Edit: Sorry Guys, I seem to have just bought the last one at Plamoya for VF-171 # 7, couldn't pass up a decent deal on my favorite Mac F plane*
-
Welp, at 4/6 now. 2 will take a while since they were shipped via SAL. I've had 0 QC problems on these thus far *knock on wood*. Now the question is how to get them displayed somewhere
-
It isn't hard at all imho. The only part that needs love is turning the neck and head around and getting the plate between the chest and neck kept up so it inserts into the back of the head correctly
-
WOw that's crazy! my card was completely fine after I made my preorder and has had 0 activity since I placed the order way back :0
-
Just in case started looking around blogs and looks like no delays in the pre-order window unlike the last one for the 25F. Still set for Wednesday around 0300 EDT / 0200 CDT / 0000 PDT. Fun Fun
-
and that is why I've never bought a v2 kit. I prefer DYRL grey and the DYRL 1A head and pilot.
-
Finished some basic panel lining. The black paint, unlike previous DXes, is very sensitive to rubbing alcohol. THe silver is the same as the one used on the 171 so it'll rub off easy with rubbing alcohol. be careful when doing washes and wiping off the excess. On a side note, my 171 CF looks so naked without underwing stores like they had in like every scene in Macross F.. September cannot come sooner. Also.. the flaps on the wings have grey 171's....not no-steps. It just looks stupid to have 171 in those areas O_o
-
Not without harpoints on the 25's. Hljand amiami units came in today. No duds yet, but got 4 more in the pipe from NY. Crossing my fingers 0_o
-
Woo hoo, just found out I'm working night shift on sunday / monday / tuesday. Perfect for grabbing a preorder on my tablet PC
-
wow that sucks macrossjunkie. BTW, that's a great picture showing how the boob plates are thinner than the 171exes. You had to have the boob plates folded out on the 171ex before you put the nose in otherwise they'd block the rails and cause mass headaches lol.
-
while some of the parts have changed the majority of the 27 seems to be the same with just a lil extra tampo. Will be a must-buy since they fixed the hips yaaay ALso pretty glad it's going to have a clear green canopy. I prefer that look over the stock.
-
my 5 from NY are still in prep. I ordered these on the 2nd opening of the window the day after preorder start :0 Seriously why do I even bother paying for EMS when they take a week to ship anyways?
-
It's the Hasegawa 1/72 with special markings by Tenjin. Hyper Hobby needs to do more research as they speculate in the article about if it transforms, etc. The Dengeki clearly says Hasegawa kit in cooperation with Arcadia.
