The VF-22's and 1/48's don't get enough love these days
-
If they release a CF VF-25 my bank account is over I have a soft spot for CF valks >_< In the meantime having fun with my custom 25F Just have to source another pair of alto armor parts now for the altos I reserved from Otacute and NY
-
That first image is not a YF-30, that's a fictional plane from Ace-combat. Think it's the CFA-44 Nosferatu
-
That screeny i took is from ep 14, when the vf-171's unload on the capships. Upon further inspection, the reaction missiles are as long as their shins , which is already larger than the sms reaction missiles from the armored 25 sets. It is hard, however, to tell the girth from the limited screen time
-
Machida is Angry and wishes to punch Bandai for oversized reaction weapons and wrongly-colored armored parts
-
Who knows. Maybe the reaction missiles carried by the 171's were bigger. Maybe SMS uses a smaller version of the missile *EDIT* SCratch that, just looked online and those reactions warheads are def too big O_o
-
Armored parts haven't really jumped that much in price since the ALTO announcement. Usually you were looking at around 150-160 shipped. Now they're around 170-180 shipped. Picked up my 2nd alto armored set since I customized the 1st one :0 While I won't say never, I have yet to see any Tamashii web-exclusives be re-issued. They didn't do it for the Alto YF-29, doubt they will for the armored parts. Other non-macrossTamashii web-exclusives are rarely re-issued, if ever.

The hardpoint wings actually fit super well and are really tight. No way those MDEs would bend the wings unless they're made of pure lead or something.

My bluray player says 1 hr 54 min ish I uploaded some more screenies
-
AT around 1:14 of 2nd Movie. I just took a screeny for your reference. DAmnit these packs better be GREY Looks like they're equipped on stations 1,3,4,6 and are pretty long
-
since those who purchase are gonna have spare underwing stores, wish we could slap them onto our renewal 25's :0
-
Just get an airbrush and paint it grey ;p My little Iwata airbrush is ready Just kinda blagh that I have to do this 6x since I got 6 CF's in the pipe O_o
-
They've got like 47 VF-25's left as of right now. Just put like 100 in the cart and it'll automatically adjust to how much stock the have.
-
the 11% markup is prolly because NY is purchasing it from Bandai's webstore at retail I assume. Would not be worth their time if they stocked these and sold for no profit
-
I have to buy 6 of these O_o. The MDE and reaction warheads are pure awesome. The only thing they could've added would be the Varja Implant missiles
-
From this point on I will always just buy in Yen unless it's something small like the YF-29 fast packs. They just changed my order to yen. I just saved 80 dollars lol
-
for those that ordered round 2 at 16000 yen in January the exchange rate change between then and now would save them about 20 bucks per Valk. The exchange rate right now is 99.35 O_o crazy

Aliens: Colonial Marines morphs into Isolation
Duymon replied to Dobber's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
the original AVP waaaaay back on pc was better than this piece of crap imho. -
Yeah, but it's so easy to bypass that. For example, my brother lives nextdoor. I could just order one for me and one for him. since we have separate paypals, emails, etc we could easily grab 2.
-
yeah I just grabbed one too for kicks
-
Actually they are all renewals cept for the VF-27 which never got any renewal love and prolly won't :0 i'd be tempted to buy it if I didn't already have two of each :0
-
Thanks, it's a fun build for 3-4 hours on my off-nights when all I have is a few bottles of paint and a hobby knife haha. Def the Bandai kit. It goes together pretty well but the issue is the decals. The yellow and grey decals are super weak and need to have some proper white backing to make them look good. When I get home I'll need to do some touch-up and fill in the white areas where the decals didn't cover up the yellow parts. At that point minus well paint all the yellow myself on the fins eh? lol Hasegawa is gonna put these suckers out as well too, but I'm pretty satisfied with the amount of detail already on the 6-yr old kits from Bandai.

Another slow night on the night-shift :0 Thank God I have hobby-supplies in my work drawer lol.

The Weaker yen is good for both. 75% of Japan's economy is export-based and a weaker yen means more exports for Japan. NY gets more sales, we get cheaper valks, it's win -win. It does, however, suck for the native Japanese, however, since they do import quite a bit and weaker yen means more expenses. NY automatically recalculates the exchange rate at time of invoice so they aren't skimming off the top for more yen as people would suggest......

If you use those services, use it for something like this... talk about tax-return purchase :0 http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b142073240 YF-29 with super VF-171 with super VF-25G VF-25F with super and armored VF-25S with super and armored VF-27 Brera Hot damn O_O
