    What do you mean? I have the 1/20 LRS Turbo Custom. Got it from Mandarake years ago. Yeah. Shipping to the US is a bitch for it. Think it was 5200yen or so when I got it. As such, it's usually offered at ami and mandarake in opened/slight-box-damage condition. I just saw both the LRS TC and the recent Sansa Red Shoulder TC over there right now at both sites. Fwiw, think Bandai cheaped out by making the turbo-heels not wheels on the TC. Also, the feet spikes are solid single mould part as well. Quite unlike the separate-pieces/movable spikes of the regular non-turbo 'dogs.

    Why/what for is this feature? Is it supposed to make it rotate to a side position or what?

    You might want to check if those dvd's are still playable. I've had some of my old dvd's (anime and otherwise) giving me playback issues for whatever reason nowadays.

    yup. https://www.amazon.com/dp/6317849846/ 7/23 stupidly shocking expensive po-pricing at US$60??? it should go down in pricing. At any rate, let's see. I do hope these are the native bluray versions instead of the yet-another-sd-versions. 9 episodes should be: -- six for Phantom Arc -- one each for Case:Irvine, Votoms Finder and "Chirico's Return" <-- gotta be the "Alone Again" ova. -- still no Pailsen Files Movie nor Mellow Link. WTF, MaidenJapan???!!!

    The Sylvie seemed to have sold fine and still holds its initial-pricing in value. In contrast, the Nexx Hibiki didn't do so well and is the one shelf-warming right now. Maybe it would've sold better and on par with Sylvie if only Bandai released it with the actual Nexx pilot...

    Seems that only the Pailsen Files movie have had a blu-ray release from the PF-series.
  7. treatment
    Yeah. Not sure if there's really any truth in that rather persistent rumor. Maybe only Mellow Link's masters really got lost in a fire or something. Regardless and despite being SD-dumps, "Last Red Shoulder" and "Origin of Ambition" video-qualites seems to hold up and actually still looks good to be watching and stuff. Even Big Battle's video-quality is ok, tho the video-quality looks more similar to a cleaned-up TV episode. Unfortunately, both Shining Heresy and Pailsen Files are where the low SD video-quality shows up and becomes really noticable. Rather ironic since these two were the more recent titles than the 80's OVAs above. We'll see if Maiden Japan will license and release the rest of the later VOTOMS anime. "Alone Again", "Phantom Arc", "Votoms Finder", and "Case:Irvine" definitely have had native Blu-Ray releases in Japan.
  8. treatment
    Nope. All look like SD-dumps from original/old masters. Were the japanese-versions ever remastered? On the good side, seems like they're at least using Nadelman's translations per the english-credits.

    fyi. Just got VOTOMS-OVA Blu-ray dekivered today and here is the menu-content: edit/add: As you can tell, it does not contain: -- Pailsen Files Movie -- Alone Again ova -- Phantom Arc ova -- MellowLink ova (non-chirico/side-story) -- Case Irvine ova (non-chirico/side-story) -- Votoms Finder ova (non-chirico/side-story) Maybe maiden-japan will do a third bd-release that contain these still-missing titles. Or maybe not...

    Don't you have the regular Hikaru-1J or CF-1A to swap stand-adapters to try with your VT-1? I've never tried it that way, tho...
  11. treatment
    could be. amz-jp is listing their release-date as 5/25 now.

    Yeah. Mine's quite tight in the same area, too. Think that's why it can't extend out in my previous posted pic. I'm also reluctant to force it for fear of breakage. Also, the right foot on mine is exhibiting the same issue as my VT-1 and Hikaru-1A where it somehow can't bend further back for proper GERWALK mode. Oy vey...

    I think the Bandai made the head laser a bit weirdly too long from these pics posted at TD... http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=279440&pid=8088640

    How did you managed to get the head extended way out the chest/black-collar? Mine can only go so far as below: The head and neck does not extend further than that before dislodging completely.
  16. treatment
    hmm, dunno. looks like another Arcadia leg waiting to break at the hip-joint. they really should test it rigorously. don't want to see another expensive legless mech after just not even a single transformation from the Zero franchise...

    Just got my HMR VF-4. Is it just mine, or is it really tilt-happy when in fighter-mode with the gears? Seems to be a bit rear-heavy to be tilting up easily and often when just on table-top display and accidentally touched or poked at the slightest. The right-side engine/leg also is a bit gappy and won't close flushly unlike the left-side.

    They might actually do very well and can even dominate the market if they offer no-markings, regular, and pf diecast models...
  19. treatment
    Yup. Can only wish Arcadia starts doing diecast models of valks and real-world jets...
  20. treatment
    lol!

    Sharon likes jets...

    Not sure if that's a valid reason anymore for Bandai to make 'em TWE. Roy Focker's the most popular and always automatic best-seller in the Macross toys, yet they made the HMR-Roy a TWE. Meanwhile, the HMR Timp has been a perennial shelfwarmer since even during preorder. Same with HMR Brockary. Both can still be found shelfwarming at cdj, ami, and even amz-jp, iirc.
  23. treatment
    Impressive ID'ing. Didn't even noticed it was the Old Crow there. Looks more like a T2-trainer specifically than a regular F-104,
  24. treatment
    lol! AWESOME! Are these diecasts or kits?
  25. treatment
    Nah. My complaint is just not getting why Bandai made it a twe/pbandai release instead of general release. They're the best HMRs and significantly much bettter than both the Macross-HMR and Xabungle-HMR lines. Yet Bandai decided to (continue) to pull this shop-exclusive shenanigans on it. I just don't get it. Unfortunate, but I can go without any Korchima HMR. Guess my regular cf H8 will just be enough for me for now. Prolly might still get one if I see one at ami or manda after release at a good reduced pricing...
