    It's not a process, more like happenstance. This is how it usually works: 1- A new toy arrives but I already have my office completely covered in toys from whatever video/review I'm currently working on 2- That toy gets put into a closet or storage until I'm done with my current project 3- More toys come in and go into the closet or storage because these reviews take so long to do and I have so little time 4- I finally wrap up whatever I'm working on and grab whichever of the most recent releases strike me as the most different from existing toys. I prioritize new molds over repaints/reissues. If there are no new molds and I'm going to do a repaint, I'll look for the repaint that isn't about to have another release (because maybe I'll review both repaints at the same time). Similarly, if there's a toy about to come out that would be good to compare it to, then I'll hold off on reviewing that toy until the other one comes out. I'll make the occasional exception to the priority list if I feel like I've skipped a toy too many times or a lot of people are asking about it. 5- Then I go looking through storage for comparable toys to the one I've selected for review 6- Then I check anymoon for the reviews of those older toys that I've pulled out of storage as it helps me identify the cool new bits the most recent manufacturer has added and if they've solved any issues I had with prior renditions. 7- Often times, I'm let down by the quality of my older reviews. Sometimes it's the quality of the pictures, sometimes it's because I gloss over important details, sometimes I'm missing variants, etc. So, before I can move forward, I fix the existing review. The goal is for anymoon to be a sort of Wiki for Macross toys so if my old articles don't answer the questions I think people would have about a toy, then I need to address that. 8- Finally, I've got my old toys out, I feel very well versed in their pros and cons, and I'm ready to review the newest toy. Of course, while I'm doing this, new toys have arrived. Rinse and repeat.

    Same observation, no extra neck with Miriya.

    I imagine you've been staring at some line art as you begin this project. What's a good source of VF-22 line art?

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    Can you elaborate on this? I haven't handled my VF-25 revivals but did they drop an improvement we saw on Max's YF-29?

    They're really small so shipping shouldn't be too bad... Probably like a hi metal toy.

    I just rewatched it with my son, it was fun. Less of a grind than Dougram (which I also enjoy). It has some pacing issues but overall, I'm still a big fan.

    Oof, tough teaser going full video game cut scene.

    Bummer! I'll keep an eye out. Fun pics, thanks for sharing.

    And chance you have the Takatoku vending machine still? I sold mine and I miss it.

    Well if you're interested in having a few more things move on; you have a few items I've been hunting for in those pictures!

    All football teams need their own Legioss! Fox loves their robot football player so there's precedent.

    Some nice upgrades in that list. I'll buy one when they're available to ship.

    The wings look like a flying squirrel.

    I think they're all just 'what if's... Really crazy they're not releasing the anime versions to drum up sales.
  16. jenius
    They are great though... Nice squad! I'll buy variants if I can buy I hate preordering from them so I would rather wait until they're shipping. Wish I could swing by the store every couple weeks and check if anything is new but that's a bit out of my way.

    Oh I thought that blue set was waterslide. Thanks for checking and seeing me straight!

    It's a Star Wars Robotech Terminator fever dream... but he's actually going to sell them? Bizarre. He should be spending this effort on fixing the website so people actually feel comfortable about making purchases!

    Does anyone have a Yamato 1/48 Urban Camo GBP? I'm curious if it came with a regular sticker sheet as well as what appears to be a waterslide decal sheet. Mine only has the waterslide but I bought it secondhand so want to confirm.
  20. jenius
    So ThreeZero Max includes an optional blue neck and Miriya doesn't include a red one? That feels odd.

    Okay, I'm all done, and here are my thoughts: I have been watching the show as it came out so I’m a terrible judge of what contradictions or loose threads the finale may have had because nothing is fresh enough in my mind. So, I have some nits but overall I thought it was a fun ride and a good ending to a very fun show.

    Ah, I knew it would be obvious in hindsight!

    What is TIA? Moderoids are models with joints that can be built with theoretically no painting (sprues come in correct color).

    Looked like there was an interview where they said they're already working on a spin-off related to the rock... A prequel.

    Curious what you're referring to? The comics? Robotech has been dead for a long time.
