    Hi-Metal R

    treatment replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    hmm. Looks actually kinda rather drab and dull red in hand to me, but also kinda more translucenty red. Still nice, tho. It reacts to flash a bit reflectively, so I had to pp and use the nef instead below. So anyway, after much griping and whining, decided to po HM-R Milia as my first (and prolly last) purchase from n-y when it was still open. And she arrived today. Somehow, the stumps are alot more prominent on her than on any of my previous HM-R valks. Poor Milia... HM-R Milia is stumped by the stumps Bandai gave her...

    coz Arcadia really needs the extra funding to finally do the Super-O reissue...

    Of course, you can. That's what I did. Iirc, only need to flip the diaper flaps. They're separate form the upper body, anyway.

    Apparently, ET's quite surprisingly optimistic with the MSRP on this item...

    They're pinholes.

    Nope. It was a v2 iteration and rather recent. In contrast, the YF-21/VF-22 and the VF-11B/11C designs/moulds were all v1's.

    fwiw, multiple TFW members have been reporting that their MP-36 orders from amzn-japan did not have the orange-plug. I'll verify mine when I get home later.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    treatment replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I think Bandai based their production-volume on their Japan market alone, instead of the rather big asian market (CHN/HK/TW/KOR/etc). And within their Japan home-market, they starve it to only a few shops and limits the numbers they let out from even those few shops that gets qualified to carry their items. At least, that's what I gather happened with the Gundam Seven Swords MB stuff, as per mwf-member charlesxavier's share in another forum.

    That's not really true. At least, ime. The KO/bootlegs I bought out of curiousity some years ago were all definitely crap. There's nothing good with any of it other than it was just lotsa cheaper than the official ones. Some people were saying their KOs of Prowl, Tracks and whatever were "good", but I really really highly doubt it. Those MP KOs/bootlegs were rather quite relatively simpler to bootleg than a regular 1/60v2 VF-1.

    The bootleggers will themselves be the ones scalping them, then...

    Kinda funny. These bootlegs most likely won't hurt Arcadia. People will still opt to buy their M&M if they ever issue them. These bootlegs will only really hurt the scalpers, especially those currently pricing their second-hand M&M's thru the stratosphere. The most obvious downside is that these same scalpers will then hoard all of these KOs and then scalp them for even more ludicrous pricings. So, the only winning move is not to play...

    I think that actually brings up a funny conundrum for BW... BW: STAHP, Bootlegger! You're violating my Macross-IP! Don't do that! Bootlegger: Yeah, and? This ain't JPN, you know. We're in CHN, so your IP do diddlysquat here. We heard that that smelly hobo over there holds your Macross-IP outside of JPN. smelly hobo HG: Yo, BW! Want my help enforcing teh IP over here in CHN? BW: F-U, you smelly hobo! STOP TOUCHING ME! HG: good luck storming the castle, then. BW: gawdammit! --- Like I said before, it'll be interesting how the IP holders will combat this upcoming bootleg issue.

    In a way, it's kinda funny. One would think that most VF-1 fans have already migrated onto Bandai's HMR line by this time. It's the new shiny and it's gonna have a more complete lineup, and then some. However, it seems that the bootleggers are guessing optimistically that there are still some money to be made on the 1/60v2 line by supplying their KOs for it. I'm thinking this "new" 1/60v2 market is the newly-affluent fans in CHN. They seem to be the ones that seems to be consuming most of those those highly-expensive Hot Toys and Fewture stuff, and even way-overpriced TF MPs.

    Not really sure what you're talking about anymore. There were no bootlegs of Yamato back in the day. Partially due to Yammie's mostly excellent low pricing that flooded the market and suffocated any chance of any bootlegging. Most of us got our stuff and we were happy. Nobody's concerned about bootlegs. Heck! Nobody's really concerned even about even their competition back then from both Toynami and Bandai. In contrast, This upcoming bootleg-issue is now being raised by Arcadia. They are somehow concerned that their home-market (Japan) will import these upcoming bootlegs. It tells us that the bootleggers sniffed a good chance to make money out of those Macross-fans being ignored by Arcadia. This bootlegging issue wouldn't really be a big deal if only Arcadia's satisfying the market (both their home and foreign) like Yamato did back in the day.
