  1. 11b is always gonna be more badass and more worthy to own simply on the fact that it was Isamu's primary valk before transitioning to the yf-19...
  2. never fear! Hikaru to the, uhh, rescue-chopped!
  3. Yeah. Looks like factory-defect to me. You'll need to return them to that shop. Send them an email right away, with the pics. On their website, they state: not sure who's gonna eat the shipping-cost for the return, tho.
  4. but then how will Yamato continue to jack us with their overpriced, wtf-designed, always-oos yammie-stands then?
  5. fyi. seems like Wally's pricing the Classics/Generations figs at $9, but there's not much selection in my area so just settled for another Wheeljack.
  6. As kanedaestes said, Masterpiece-scale since it's the Hasbro short-stacks version of the Takara MP-01.
  7. welp! my Vermillion Team is now complete, so there...
  8. well, since it's non-yamato and considering this "thing" went for $2600 (201,000 yen) at auction-end, may be it'll be an ultra-exclusive Mylene hugging-pillow complete with her verified-used fire-bomber leotards. oy, vey... way to delay the 17D...
  9. ahh! so Bandai got first dibs coz they're planning a VF-171 release this year that's got a D-head, eh?
  10. I'll take your word for it since I don't import anymore. At any rate, other than being region-free and the LE-schwag, what else do you guys think make this BD worth your import?
  11. I'm gonna have to agree with the Sith Lord here. It's nice of them to give us extras like the pachinko game footage, but will Blu-Ray really make this 30-year old cartoon look any better? They'll be upscaling video. The sound is still mono. And as EXO said, I don't know if I wanna see some of those scenes in HD. I will have to agree with him as well. The only advantage of this BD is that at the very least, you won't need to a region-hacked player for it since the US and Japan are in the same BD-region. I'm not quite sure AmJ's listing of "all-region" is that accurate, yet.
  12. uhhh, not really. Gundam may be look better, but I think that's more of Bandai always having better (or rather, properly maintained) masters of it than they ever have of their Macross.
  13. ok. here are the amj-preorder pages (standard 26% amj-discount): LE (34,965y)== http://www.amazon.co...uct/B006QRCBG2/ non-LE (29,526y) == http://www.amazon.co...uct/B006QRCBFI/ dunno how much amj charges for foreign-shipping (still 2000y?) nowadays, tho. make sure you also account for your countries' VAT and/or whatever-else-tax. nothing on CDJapan, yet, but they're usually (but not always) at 5-10% off-msrp on preorders.
  14. btw, just looking at the msrp from cdj: TV-HDremaster == 38000y TV-BD == 39900y TV-BDLE == 47250y so based on that, I can speculate that the eventual DYRL-BD will be around 8700y for the non-LE and the DYRL-BDLE will be at 19050y. prepare thy behinds already! just hope for a better exchange-rate soon...
  15. kinda funny scheduling, tho. during the hd-remaster days, Plus-HDremaster(8/07) was released first and followed by DYRL-HDremaster(12/07), while TV-HDremaster was last (2/08). now we only got TV-BD release-announcement for 5/12. reckon it would be totally awesome if the Yammie VF-4G will be released alongside DYRL-BD.
  16. nothing on bandaivisual's site regarding bd-editions of DYRL or Plus, yet. hopefully when they do become available, the pricing won't be as insane as this TV's bd-pricing.
  17. we can all wish they're joking, but it's Bandai-pricing.
  18. Well, see you're not realizing that you're violating anime law by even posing your question in the first place and trying to wrap it with some real world physics and aerodynamics shenanigans. Specifically... Anime Law #33 states... Law of Topological Aerodynamics, First Law of Anime Aero-Dynamics *ANY* shape, no matter how convoluted or odd-looking, is automatically aerodynamic. so, there.
  19. dude, seriously. Kawamori has some dumbass dork ace-flying his VF-19 creation with Guitar-Hero controls and you're _questioning_ his VF-4 flight-design???
  20. I believe it, best time to release it(Macross 30th and while Frontier is still popular), plus Bandai can catch onto the exposure that Yamato's 17 is getting. maybe Bandai will just re-color their old chunky-17 into light-greenish tint to be their "171" and call it a day.
  21. Ya never know. Maybe Bandai will finally reissue the 1/55 Strike-Hikaru, as well as the 1/55 Super-O and Elint. Maybe even reissue the old 1/55 GBP and 1D/M&M from their magical Takatoku vaults somewhere.
  22. thanks, Mr.G! yeah, am still fond of the virtually indestructible chunky-bandai, but the Yammie is really just way too awesome.
  23. c'mon, Graham! where's the comparo-pics with the old Bandai?
  24. per MC, reckon just the upgraded power-plant stats: http://macross.anime...4_Lightning_III
  25. heh! does Yamato-Toys really wants to out-a-hole Bandai for going web-shitclusives with the VF-4?
