  1. You are armed with the weight and the to and from locations, perhaps there is an online tool that could be used now to come up with a calculation if NY doesn't do it for you during check out.
  2. Thank you for the previous help with the height of the SDF Macross in storm attacker mode. I have another one for you guys. Does anyone know how tall the VF-4G is supposed to be in battroid? I want to give the true-scale when I update my review to include the Arcadia release.
  3. The YF21 does have proper stowage, the 22 could use the enhancement and a canopy cover for battroid.
  4. My site has all the MSRPs in the release list.
  5. No word.
  6. Hayden didn't have a lot to work with, and we don't know how the direction was, but he certainly left a bad impression.
  7. It seems like the 0A CF and weathering YF19 are heading into vaporware territory.
  8. I would think they would reissue it at the same price point like they did the Arcadia VF-4. If they put it in a better box I would totally double dip. Man, that box sucked.. it was like 2mm too small for the contents so it's always bulging. What they should do is include the blown off booms as a bonus part to give people the incentive to double-dip also.

    Yes, the v2 caused a 1/48 purge. You can tell just by the after market prices. The 1/48s had a pretty big drop and the v2s are harder to come by.

    I think Bandai had it in a pic before but they weren't using a VF1D like they should have been. My guess is the 1D will come with an arm clip of some sort.

    The list is 'owned or own' meaning you should have experienced them at some point. It also sounds like you had a first edition 1/48, the flaps weren't bad on my later editions.

    Agreed, in my book everyone should own (or have owned) one of the following: 1) Takatoku or Bandai 1/55 VF-1 (including Jetfire) 2) 1/48 Yamato VF-1 3) 1/60 V2 Yamato/Arcadia VF-1
  13. That sounds like it would have to do with their fiscal year end which I'm guessing is 3/31 (I think that's standard in Japan). There's also something about taxes paid on inventory so I'd guess they give themselves a production break to make sure that they don't have huge sums of inventory. I'm not a Japanese business person so I might be a little off in this.

    Have you been to anymoon.com? I like that site.
  15. I was taking pictures of my armored Rick Hunter the other day and the arm fell off. I looked and sure enough that interior ring is broken. Looks like they never did address the issues with those things. Very sad to see.
  16. $60 for a Toynami 1/100... wow. Plus a mark-up? Yoiks!
  17. If I had a brand new Ride Armor toy, this would be my release schedule: 1) Yellow 2) Stick 3) Fook 4) Rey Then I'd have some event exlcusives like: 1) Wolf 2) Shinobu 3) Dark
  18. Cool, that confirms it then. Thank you.
  19. I was about to add the 1/76 GBP to my website. I have the gray Hikaru VF-1J variant. I know there was a blue Max version and a 'gray market' white VF-1J Hikaru also (I think it's a Matsuhiro release following the demise of Takatoku in Asia). I thought there was another release though, either a Miria or a Mass Production version but a quick Google search came up empty. Do you know of another one?

    She's a Southern California girl. She wasn't trying to do too much with her voice but to me it sounds like she was channeling the girl from the Adam & Eve commercials you hear around Valentine's Day on the radio. Love the idea of some shells near the monster or used in a diorama, good call. After handling this toy some more I really really really hope we hear about more destroids soon.

    Whoa whoa trooper, Invid are the Robotech or Mospeada license territory and Bandai doesn't go there. Also, if they stayed in scale at 1/90ish the Invid would be bite sized. I'm afraid Hi-Metal R toys are Macross only and as of right now, just the first arch of Macross.

    My wife is awesome and always happy to hop in front of a camera. The comments section of the video is pretty humorous. Lots of people had fun with it so that's cool. Some people got very angry about it which is inexplicable to me since the thumbnail serves as a pretty decent warning. Someone who is clearly struggling with English keeps trying to leave a profanity-laced comment that essentially says that if he wanted to jerk-off he'd go to porn sites.. I think the humor was lost on him. Hey, over-the-top toys deserve an over-the-top review.

    I think someone asked for this pic:

    My wife appreciated your compliments. She told me she wanted to appear in another video around the time the Monster was confirmed. After she had acted as a background in the Makuroso video some of the comments were about it being sexist and unfair to use a girl just as a background so I figured she should have more of a role the next time around. Since the Monster is both simple and phallic it seemed like the ideal review to let her have some fun with it. Since I knew all the features in advance I did most the writing and she did some fine tuning and some ad-lib. Man the feedback has been all over the map on that video. Some people definitely take their toys very seriously but it's my hobby and i get to have fun .
