  1. Walker Galia pics at hacchaka-blog: http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/52038788.html samples:
  2. yup. https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000132545/ &*#($&$@&(*#$**&BANDAI&$%*&#(&%#(&%#
  3. Wish UW-04 constructicons had doors and seats since Bandai's Hikaru seems to make a good scale/fit as a driver for them vs being the scaled pilot-figure for DX 1J...
  4. I reckon more of a materials-differences than engineering-differences. Iirc, the Yammies used a rather "soft plastic" materials with the Zero-line and at least, with the VF-11b. I know my old Nora felt really quite "softer" than my 1/60v2 VF-1s. Fwiw and maybe just me, but my Arcadia VF-1s actually feel quite a bit more rigid and possibly a bit more solid/stronger than my comparable old Yammies. Maybe it's due to the "pink" additive thingy...
  5. Read the review again. It's there at #4.
  6. I like the new proper coloring. Hopefully they don't reverse themselves yet again on it. The PF on it is also very much welcome plus! Considering the msrp on this is only about 6y more than the original non-pf/wrong-blue, this new 0D PF will be more justifiable. Hopefully they also have finally fixed hips-joint issue or something. Wish they add more battle-damaged as extras like we saw in the anime. Am wondering if the second-hand shops will get flooded with the non-PF/v1 when this gets officially on preorder. Regardless, CAN'T WAIT for this!
  7. Welp! So far from taghobby's collection of wonfest-spring 2019 for Arcadia... https://www.taghobby.com/archives/347288
  8. Welp! So far from taghobby's collection of wonfest-spring 2019 for Arcadia. these seems to be what 2019 is bringing us (stickers or not...) https://www.taghobby.com/archives/347288 All should have their specific MW-threads and they should have more pics posted in 'em. Also, Jenius has a wonfest-2019 blog-article with lotsa more pics about Arcadia stuff, too.
  9. Another AmJ price drop... 24,564y (japan-residents). 22,744y (non-japan residents) + 1200y (dhl-shipping to US).

    Hi-Metal R

    Hmm. Current non-Macross HMRs are strictly from the early 80's shows. fwiw, here's the HMR release-schedules table as gleaned from https://tamashii.jp/item_brand/hi-metal_r/
  11. Nope. At least with amz-jp direct. Not sure about the marketplace/3rd-party sellers, tho. Fwiw, certain Bandai (and even TakaraTomy) items are now somehow suddenly not eligible to be shipped outside of Japan from amz-jp direct.
  12. The ongoing VF-31A fiasco with N-Y doesn't quite give confidence to N-Y's "still in stock" VF-31E status... edit: N-Y has the 31E on "item not available" status now. Now it's just a matter of if they can ship/deliver the 31E on schedule to their non-japan buyers, compared to their 31A...
  13. Just saw this posted over at TFW: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/votoms-toys-kits-pic-heavy.162454/page-9#post-16568030 b2five's offering: https://b2fiveshop.com/collections/votoms Looks ok and very nice, indeed. Hopefully they do come pre-painted and stuff. Although the 'dogs biceps looks more Shining Heresy/Pailsen Files styles than the original TV-style. 1/28, huh? Intriguing. Hopefully it gets offered by amz-jp and at the regular japan-shops. edit: uhmm, they need to do/re-do more work on Fyana...
  14. lol! They've done this before with the Frontier-v2 DX-valks and some of the Metal Build Gundams. So, yeah. Seems Bandai's up to their tricks again of artificially limiting supply again to try to drive up perception of the item's value. Wonder why. Could it be that the Delta DX-valks are just slow-sellers and not profitable to them to meet their whatever projections,. Or they're just being dicks about it? Either way, this will only help the scalpers, Way to go, Bandai!
  15. Was just at Amz-jp and it has a 2/28/19 release-date listing: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B077ZQ47CK/ Not sure if true...
  16. Thought you would've already has some first-hand info about it. Their website lists the Melkia in the Jan/2019 shipping-schedule: https://www.threezerohk.com/shipping-schedule/
  17. While we wait for Jenius if will ever get his 1/12 Melkia (and if issues-free, too) from threezero to review, found these rather recent yt-reviews (sept/2018) of the classic Takara 1/18 DMZs from a japanese fan. Not from wotafa, tho. Japanese-audio only. Scopedog DMZ-01: Turbo-Custom Scopedog DMZ-05: Dude's got some other interesting toy-reviews (chogokins, etc) in his channel, too.
  18. I'm way behind you guys. The kids keep monopolizing the PS4, especially with the recent Kingdom Hearts new release or something. Anyway, yeah. Just completed mission-10 after about three or four tries on it. Could not believe the special plane could stand repeated hits from me and I always ended up hitting the time-limit every time. Finally figured out to just let that damn special plane eat as much 8AAMs as I can spam it with when it played its chicken game on me. Guess its "armor" could not stand more than two headon missile hits directly. As for Mission-9, I used the Mig-29 again with LAGMs. Kinda funny endo-ing into the clouds every time a missile alert gets triggered. I've only used a HOTAS setup on the PC. I don't think it improves gameplay, but It can give you some sort of immersive satisfaction compared to the usual kb/mouse or even a gamepad setup. Especially if you have a complete set: JS, throttle, foot-pedals. The flight-sim blokes can and usually go really crazy on HOTAS stuff. That said, I've yet to try to use a HOTAS on a console. I still have the old TM T-Flight, but it currently doesn't work with the PS/4. Not really sure I want to spring for the specific PS/4 version right now, tho.
  19. seems like there was another recent 500y price-drop on it Amz-jp. w00 h00?
  20. Just testing out a 3rd-party flash, so here's the DX and old Yammie-1/48-dyrl Hikaru pilot-figures in a rinkydink newray 1/48 fokker-d7...
  21. Try installing the option-parts to maybe keep the arms from sagging in battroid-mode. Not really sure if it will. tho. Otherwise, you will just have to try to hunt down another VF-1A Brownie or two. They show up from time to time at the usual japan import-shops. Maybe even here in the MWF sales-sections. Somebody there prolly might have a broken Brownie that can help you.
  22. Finally an update on the Dougram-line! saw from td earlier: http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-277266-1-1.html Don't see any pbandai/twe indicators, so regular release! YES!!!
  23. Yup. The TV-equivalent don't have FPs : http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/vefr-1.htm
  24. Depends on: -- what you're buying. -- who exactly you are buying it from. (amz direct vs marketplace/3rd-party). -- how many you are actually buying.
