  1. I suggested more battroid mode kits, with the following preferences: - YF-19 - YF-21 - VF-11B/C - (R)VF-25F/G/S - VF-31J/C/E/F/S/A ...followed by a VF-4G Lightning III in any mode.

    Macross figures

    Haven't looked at this yet, just saw it as a recommended article. Life-sized Ranka/Sheryl figures: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2018/03/02-1/macross-frontier-sheryl-ranka-to-get-their-life-size-figures
  3. How dare you not buckle that baby in!?!? I'm gonna report you for child endangerment!!!!
  4. While I'm not nearly at the same level as you two, I did watch a clip of the Leatherback/Otachi battle and the difference in the level of visual finesse between the first film and second is undeniable. Holy cow, I'd forgotten how beautiful the film was.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Was there never a DX Lil Drakens set/bundle? Odd that they'd wait this long... For that matter, did the Ba ever see a release and/or announcement?
  6. I don't recall "IRL" Gipsy being 6 feet tall. Most likely they've used human/character scales as a comparison or guide. The SoC Gipsy would be around the same height as, say, a 1/4-scale Iron Man. The official stats, at least from a quick google, say that Gipsy Danger is 260 feet tall. Good to know. Thanks.

    Left katakana says [Mikumo] "Guynemer," right says "Freyja Wion," from what I remember of katakana. ギンヌメール = gi-n-na-me-e-ru フレイヤ・ヴィオン = fu-re-i-ya vi-o-n
  8. Which is better, the SoC or the Neca 18" toy?
  9. I'm talking to a friend on FB about the new BattleTech game (the one that had been hit by HG's lawsuit a while back), and writing about it really put into stark relief just how little HG have done with Robotech since the 80s. Macross and BattleTech both have managed to move on and evolve themselves over the years despite dealing with HG's legal shenanigans; meanwhile Robotech just languishes, having made no substantial moves in 35 years to take the franchise beyond the original chimera show, or really even just the SDFM portion of the show. All it does is subsist on the goodwill of an aging and dwindling fan base. At this point, considering how much they seem to want to divest themselves of the Macross baggage, I don't understand why HG don't just wipe the entire franchise clean and start from scratch. ...anyway. That has only the most tangential relation to this, but just... wow.
  10. Same. The backers of this particular Kickstarter might know what they're doing, but so many of the others I've seen - including the failed one I was a part of - complain about not getting the game/product they preordered, and I have to fight to keep from pulling my hair out.
  11. That's about... 9-9.5" tall? That puts it at roughly 1/350, 1/325 scale? I wonder how it sits next to the 1/350 Plamax model kits...

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Looking back through the FMP thread, there seem to be three specific changes to the new MB Laevatein: - added shoulder swivel - new articulated storage compartment in chest for hand grenades - extra joint arm for the demolition gun and
  13. Is that a name worth knowing? (EDIT: Watch it be the guy's name and I'm a complete idiot.)

    That doesn't necessarily mean that the proxies will get them around that same time, right? So it'll probably take a few days to get to them, then a few days more as they sort and prep.
  15. Well, that changes the dynamic a bit...

    Yep, this. Learned my lesson from the MB Arbalest preorder. Also, search link again: https://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?Word=vf-31+dx&range=nameonly&SeriTxt1=&GenreCode=All&MacroType=All&Maker1=&Scale=All&Skill=&Dae=All&Dis=-2&Code=&janCode=&x=0&y=0

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Nope, but I'm refreshing this search page. https://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?Word=vf-31+dx&range=nameonly&SeriTxt1=&GenreCode=All&MacroType=All&Maker1=&Scale=All&Skill=&Dae=All&Dis=-2&Code=&janCode=&x=0&y=0 I'm not even planning on getting it, but maybe I'll be able to post the link in time for the rest of you to get in on it.
  19. Yeah, part of me is of this thinking as well. You're investing in something, and a result or reward from that investment is not at all guaranteed. I kickstarted an indie game about two years ago and the last update was January 1... of 2017. I reported them to Kickstarter in hopes of stopping them from starting another Kickstarter project in the future without some major vetting, but I don't know what else I should expect to receive (or take) from them save for... unfinished character sketches, animation gifs, other project files?
  20. God damn it, I knew I shouldn't have come into this thread... Some of the cameo designs, too? Maybe the unused ones, too? Pretty pretty please?
  21. If any of you are fans of FF7, Kotaku (of all places) has a guy going through the game exploring the differences between the Japanese and English scripts. One interesting tidbit from the latest episode: Aeris may have had an unrequited love for Zack in the original script.
  22. IIRC, the VR gameplay is a separate set of missions from the main campaign(/multiplayer?), so omitting it entirely from the PC/XB1 releases might be a possibility, making any workaround even more difficult...
