Man I tried to do GERWALK on the display stand with the Lil Drakens... what a nightmare. That GERWALK adapter needs like a mm shaved off either side.
-
Exciting news... though that's too much text to try to google-fu for me. Perhaps a version 2.3 using my own code...
-
Now delayed until October... any more delays will make it compete directly with Arcadia's new Garland which might put it into Vaporware category.
-
The old Matchbox toy is 1/18 scale. A 1/60 Spartan would be teeny tiny.. like 10cm tall in "battloid".
-
Did you put something under the rear landing gear to create more clearance? Mine is sitting on my desk right now in this same position and the bottom wings of the Lill Draken are flush with the desk... yours look like they have a CM of clearance.

Every time I see these I'm so impressed I can't help but think they must be photoshop faked. -
Arcadia Premium Finish Max and Miria 1/60 Super VF-1J

True but you lose your discount points when you do. -
AFA is a rating system for collectibles. So he has a super Valkyrie that's basically in as good a condition as you could find one back when it was first released. I'm sure there's a page somewhere that lists all the scores and what they mean... I think it's much more common for collectible cards than toys.

So the difficulty more recently being alluded to is the idea that Harmony Gold and everyone touching Robotech now will want to distance themselves from ALL the original Japanese works, not just Macross, so that they are no longer dependent on their relationship with Tatsunoko. So like when I said "Just replace the Zentraedi with the Invid" earlier that would be problematic as well. You'd have to replace the Zentraedi with an original new alien that was neither Zentraedi, Master, or Invid (though the Masters are pretty generic and the Zentraedi are just bigger versions of people which is a concept from stories before writing). I don't think there's going to be any problem with developing mecha or transformations but the story will take some consideration to keep it, at its core, Robotech while simultaneously removing it from 95% of what it was and replacing it with generic content (though some % of that 95% was already generic content).

I've submitted the copyright claims on those three videos. Thanks for pointing them out!

No, no Macross terms in Shadow Chronicles. You also can't use the notion that BDI/BCS is difficult in the Macross universe to say it shouldn't be a thing in Robotech... of course that works both ways. Personally, I think the notions that the battroids do the things they do WITHOUT some direct brain link is just as far-fetched. I mean, you would have to say the valks all have very sophisticated AI and the pilot essentially just offers suggestions which is a fairly natural evolution of fly-by-wire anyway.
-
Well that doesn't sound good. I'll have to send a notification to YouTube. This isn't the first time, won't be the last.
-
I probably do it in my transformation guide... I'd link but I'm on a phone at a conference.
-
I don't think it will prove difficult. Just replace Zenraedi elements with Invid ones. Basically, slam TNG and TMS together with the macguffins created in The Masters. Use a Legioss derivative transformation mechanism on an F22 parallel. BOOM.
-
Regarding the hips, they extend out but it doesn't create the ability to twist at the hip in a way that would effect the angle of the toe (it's not a ball) . Instead, there's a twist above the knee to simulate that. extending the hips does allow a greater range of movement for doing the splits. At least, that's how I recall it.
-
If you think about the "tank" it's similarly dumb... exposed driver and all. The space variant at least solves that.
-
I think they should go 1/24... it would make more variants plausible.
-
Interesting conspiracy theory. How would that be a profitable course of action?
-
Cool, even at his worst he generally produces at a high level. Sure TFA was uber derivative but hopefully now that things are rolling it can go in more fun directions.

Arcadia Premium Finish Max and Miria 1/60 Super VF-1J

Maybe 9/15 like the other items. Pre-order palooza day. -
Arcadia Premium Finish Max and Miria 1/60 Super VF-1J
jenius replied to davidwhangchoi's topic in Toys
When is the regular pre-order date? -
The reason I question the 1/35 next year is that it would probably be priced similar to an Arcadia PF, maybe a bit higher but ballpark similar. So definitely different scale but they would compete in some regard. Of course, that's more a concern for Arcadia than Bandai.
-
So this means no DX or 1/35 VF1 from Bandai next year right?
-
My favorite vehicle from that series though I never really agreed with the concept. Would definitely buy.
-
My Tyrant (Patlabor) shipped the same day, same shipping method, and it arrived Thursday. Both arrived to the US at the same time. For me it's Los Angeles customs that's a total crapshoot. If I choose EMS I get to bypass that and I think go directly to San Francisco which is a billion times better.
