  1. If they make more Indiana Jones movies they should cap the budget at like $100MIL (I was going to say $50 but Last Crusade had a $50MIL budget). Crystal Skull feels bloated. It has stupid stuff, like swinging with the monkeys and nuking the fridge, but it also felt off and I blame too much money for that. I wouldn't mind this being a story of competing Indiana Jones offspring or them taking a cue from the young Indiana Jones. Heck, they could even make it a "The Force Awakens" story where it's about his son(s) trying to find him after he goes missing after being lured out on one last trip. We could get a bunch of trailers where Harrison Ford isn't even in them and then he can be in the last couple minutes of the movie.

    Smart, now you need a regult for each vf1 though.
  3. Every time I look at it I hear the Macross theme.
  4. Inconceivable!
  5. I was at Target today and they had a ton of Transformers... I can't wait until my son is old enough to get into those. He's still in the Matchbox phase. I get the feeling it's not usually the kids who are dragging the dads away from a certain section of the toy department.

    Well that is bizarre... I tried to contact amiami to cancel my preorder. I did this by going to the webform on the amiami page. I clicked send and then instantly received an email saying my message to amiami is undeliverable. Edit - All is well, I got an email afterward saying my order was cancelled but to please note I should never do this again.

    I've never had a problem with Nippon Yassan. Did you preorder a Tamashii exclusive item from them? I know they had a news item saying that Bandai no longer allowed them to do delayed payments for Tamashii exclusives.

    Now that I got one with HLJ, how is amiami about cancelling a preorder? I never really use them...

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    It's not Japanese law we're talking about, it's just how BigWest usually structures their licensing agreements. In the past, for premium toys, BigWest has usually offered exclusive licenses. They've definitely done non-exclusive deals for smaller cheaper toys (Revoltech VF-1 and GnU Dou VF-1). That said, usually exclusive licenses are more expensive so it's possible that Arcadia has a non-exclusive Mac+ license and Bandai has (or could acquire) the same thing. The closest 'deluxe' toy I can remember being released together was the Bandai 1/55 reissues and the Yamato 1/60 V1 toys. All of this is speculation of course.
  10. Gorgeous. If I were going to do a VF-4 skull squadron I'd have the nose paint be yellow, red, and blue (very light versions) also.

    Obviously if you can get to a screw then trying to tighten it should be the first effort.

    You might be able to apply a tiny piece of clear tape to the inside of the thrusters to add a bit of friction.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    It needs to be the extras that would differentiate a DX YF-19. They should give us a fold drive, wing weapons, 2 seat convertible cockpit, Yang co pilot, and the arm weapon then slightly tweak the paint apps. I'd totally be on board for that. Still, we're probably talking a long time from now if they're about to go full Delta mode.

    I can report that my HMR Regult, that came in a box that barely fit it from CDJapan, has no broken head lasers.

    I will be opening mine in about an hour... I'll let you know.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Do you have a link to the article? At this point it seems very unlikely that a DX YF-19 is imminent due to the recent release of the Arcadia toy. BigWest doesn't usually let two companies make different toys in the same scale at the same time. My guess would be we have at least a year before a DX YF-19.
  17. Renewal version!

    Bandai 1/35 DX VF-1

    This thread should be locked.

    I think there are pedals for walking and you can suppose the weaponry is somewhat automated but with the manual capability also.

    That sounds like one of my 'what they should do...' theoreticals.
