NIN rules... I thought the special effects looked good enough to stream for free. I've only watched the first sequel once, feel like this will be the same.
-
How were they able to do 0A toys but not the VF-1?
-
And still no word on the battlepod pilots for us in the States?
-
I disagree, the revival added the hard points and dropped the wings without them and made the wings permanently attached (which is a huge improvement). I suspect the 17 will have permanently attached wings and they will have hard points. While it may not have been canon to have weapons on the wings, it's more fun to have the hard points and give us options so I hope they're on there. That particular sin feels like a feature, not a bug, while everything else is bugs.

Worldwide Macross was largely the death of the preorder madness EXCEPT for toys still restricted to Japan (DX VF-1).
-
Glad to help! The combined unit takes both to the next level.
-
Think GBP, not fast packs. While this line is not something that interests me, I like the idea of armor variants like FEXT with their OWL.
-
They should have called it a VF-1XS or something and made up their own side history of it being an experimental line of "veritechs". How much does it cost to make a comic book? They could have included a comic with each release with a post rain of death story arch as new mechs were being developed.

Not ThreeZero... Thankfully.
-
Huh, looks 2100 Yen more expensive from Amazon vs HLJ but I'm sure there are shipping considerations that might even it all out.... though let's not talk about shipping and hope things get better! -
got one from hlj! https://www.hlj.com/?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=scorchedearthtoys

Well it invoke PO madness? Can't wait to find out!
-
I only remember a colored prototype of the fatty, not sure on the 21.
-
Maybe this will be like the Hi Metal R Fatty from Votoms where the initial prototype has lots of room for improvement and the final product addressed almost every concern... It can happen!
-
Just got the notice that mine is out for delivery. Probably time for me to open the HMR fire Valkyrie I purchased also
-
Lol, can confirm that I just received a 'duty invoice' from DHL. The breakdown is $24.91 on top of the 5200 Yen I paid to use DHL (since it was the only service available). Get this duty fee breakdown: $1.31 Regulatory Charges $6.60 Duties $17.00 Tax Processing Sooooo, if it weren't for the 'tax processing' charge things wouldn't be so terrible. Maybe Japan Post will get this figured out and be able to give us an affordable option again. Right now, it sounds like DHL is the big winner (though I'm sure their business is way down with everyone else's).

I feel like Panzer Dragoon 2 could be redone to be amazing... but that is not it.
-
Valid points. If Bandai insisted on reusing the 171, and I'm sure we discussed this 15 years ago when the 171 debuted, they should at least get all the different details of the 17 right. Had they started with the 1/65, we could have had one where the gun actually tucked into the leg! Unfortunately, I don't think the 17 has a huge following so half-hearted was as much as Bandai was willing to invest.
-
Oh man, you're tempting me to push this up in my review cycle.
-
Oh yeah, I thought some had two right shoulders but if it's just a part swap, super easy fix.
-
In a way, we're getting the best of both worlds from an aesthetic protective. If you want something more like the show, track down the Yamato. If you want a more "realistic" approach, get the DX. If you were let down by the Yamato and want something like it but better, tweet Arcadia... But I think it sold like a turd for Yamato so don't hold your breath.
-
So just an apology? No word of replacement parts?
-
Well I guess I know what's coming! Agreed, I'm going to be a lot more judicious with my purchases abroad until we get some slower shipping and cheaper options.
-
Great question, I assumed it included the duty, I should have looked for small print. I went to ship something today from fromJapan and they make it very clear their prices don't include duty so maybe I'll get a second bill from DHL for my AE shipment. I'll report back if I do.

I think Kawamori has very limited ability to do anything and his involvement is largely collecting a fee to say he is involved.
