  1. As I recall, Mr. K at Arcadia went out of his way to say the 0D wouldn't be backward compatible with the Ghost, that's why I would hold my horses on that one. Also, we don't know that Arcadia bought the ghost molds from Yamato. We know a lot was left behind... but I think the only thing we know for sure is that the 1/48 mold didn't make the move... everything else is a question mark. You're right though, you can throw the fold booster on the Arcadia 19 toy.
  2. Don't get ahead of yourself. It looks like it's made with a ghost in mind... whether or not that's Yamato's ghost is another thing entirely.
  3. ARM THE PANIC BUTTON!
  4. I totally agree. Another thought would be to release like three unpopular paint schemes at the same time (like Max DYRL 1A, Kakizaki 1A, and Alaska Base 1A). This would allow them to contract one production run of a typical size (say 1000 units) but end up with three variants (by just telling the factory to switch up the paint at certain points.
  5. Milking molds is absolutely the key to success but they should keep the obscure stuff to extremely limited quantities with very high MSRPs.
  6. I don't think I would get one but does anyone know the best place to get an ultimetal Optimus? It looks like $800 is the mark most retailers want but oddly it looks like the Japanese retailers didn't carry it.
  7. Does anyone know if Votoms modification kits for the 1/12 Yamato toys still show up at WF? I'd love to get a couple.
  8. The lighting at these shows can be kinda brutal and it might not be a final 0D. There's still hope!
  9. 100% agree. I would also advocate toward starting with a heavily modified "new gen" where the stuff that old fans really care about has already happened and past and now we get a scifi story of a destroy and inhabited earth being freed. It would eliminate all licensing issues in one fail swoop.
  10. Ya trollin' me? Believe it or not the license issue got a little hairy there. EDIT - at least that's how the story goes... obviously I was never in the room.
  11. Needs a gray visor... still.
  12. This means they were able to renew their Zero license so I like our odds at the armor and potentially the Ghost unless the Ghost sold terribly for Yamato.
  13. Agreed, that art looks great. Good for Arcadia!
  14. Fantastic if not unexpected news.
  15. I'd say the first GI Joe movie was worse than the second one... but both were very bad.
  16. I want a pink 19 and pink pecker 11
  17. Man, you guys have good photo memories. Back to waiting we go!
  18. VF-0D Jenius it is!
  19. Why did Arcadia get a license from BW for their stands? Seems silly.
  20. I have quite the backlog going on right now and it's my busy season but I would love to. it looks like they're going for a bit more right now than I'd like to spend based on my previous experience though.
  21. Where did you buy your Max tv from?
  22. I can't say I'm a huge Seth Rogen or Jonah Hill fan but I thought that end of the world movie was pretty damn funny. Still haven't managed to catch this one yet.
  23. I don't think it should be in that blue spectrum, more gray, but we will all see soon.
