    ...is Tatsunoko not doing well financially? From all this talk it sounds like they are, but... it's Tatsunoko. They can't be having money problems.

    The "exia 1" means Exia, not Exia Repair (which is dumb that it gets its own name and model number and everything, like it's literally just the Exia beat to crap and junkyarded back to barely working condition, c'mon people). Included: - GN-001 Exia - GN-001REII Exia Repair II - GN-001REIII Exia Repair III Not: - GN-001RE Exia Repair

    Oh, that was all? Was an Arcadia release confirmed there as well? Asking because of the "1/60." (The only 35th anniversary scheme merchandise I know of are the Hasegawa VF-1 and Bandai VF-31, both 1/72.)

    I couldn't find any preexisting thread, so here's creating one just so I can talk about it a bit. I'm sure you've seen the trailer (not linking to the Paramount video because it has that dumb "trailer trailer" at the beginning): I doubt many of you are interested in it - and so, it seems, is the case for most of America - but my thoughts on it nonetheless.

    Did anything come of this? What was the announcement, if any?

    Article is wrong. This is the second game in the series, Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner (Anubis: Zone of the Enders in Japan).

    Has a re-release been announced for it? I only saw the VT-1/VE-1/VF-19 in their marketing materials.

    Aka Hidetaka Suehiro, aka Swery65, creator/director of Twin Peaks The Game Deadly Premonition and D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die. All-around lovable weirdo whose (probable) hypoglycemia translates to games where you constantly eat to maintain your strength.

    None of the anniversary scheme VF-1s look good in Battroid, IMO. And this is the Hasegawa kit, so it's fortunately fighter mode only. Can't say the same for the presumed Arcadia release, so you're probably right there. I still say the only major problem is the large font on the back and wings. Scrunch all the text onto the wings (or omit them entirely), and color the backside black or blue, and it's an all-out winner in my book.

    Hasegawa VF-31

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    I could've sworn there was an Anime Expo or something going on right now or soon-ish... Oh well, this sounds just as if not more plausible.

    Hasegawa VF-31

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    What hobby show/expo are these pics from again? My mind is dancing all around the name...
  12. kajnrig
    Yep, I'm definitely liking the scheme on this bird more than on the VF-1.

    Hasegawa VF-31

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    Yeah, the 31 definitely rocks the scheme better, I think. ...I also think if they just reduced the size of the text, both would look loads better. That big ol' "ANNIVERSARY" across the back certainly announces the kit's intentions, but it detracts from the overall look.
  14. kajnrig
    I might actually prefer the non-premium version, then. The size of the text is much too big, methinks. Including it in various sizes on a sticker/decal sheet would be greatly appreciated.

    Building the Avalanche Exia, I gotta say I really like the clear rubbery plastic DM have used for the translucent cabling. (GN Cable? GN Line? Condenser cables?) Dunno if the Master Grade/Metal Build uses the same or a similar material, but if they don't, they should.
  16. kajnrig
    No WIP pics (sorry), and I still have the arms, weapons, and Dash parts to build, but my early opinion: Unless you're willing to put elbow grease into making parts fit, just get the Metal Build or the Turris Babel as Noel suggested. This kit needs a LOT of minor tweaks here and there to get things fitting properly (something I should have expected, since this is a third party with lower quality standards than something Bandai would put out; it's been a loooong time since I bought a third-party kit). I had to whip out the knives, nippers, saws, pin vise and drill bits, and I'll need to eventually get one of the various joint tighteners (superglue, epoxy, floor polish, etc.) to fix a mistake I made fixing the kit's mistakes. It's a laborious process, though the end product is certainly worth the effort, especially for someone like me who likes the building process. If you want something that looks good and plays good, just get the premade figures. The extra cost will be well worth it.

    I like it better than the 30th scheme, but the 25th definitely looks the best, very Blue Angels. I'm disappointed that I didn't get in on that while it was still available.

    Stealing seti88's links from the model kit threads. A closer look at the 35th anniversary scheme, this time on the transforming Bandai VF-31 kits as well. Seems more and more likely the unannounced Arcadia toy will share this scheme. Maybe that also means a 35th anniversary DX VF-31?

    Hasegawa VF-31

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    Seems Bandai are getting in on it, too. I like this look... Damn it, this forum kills my wallet...
  20. kajnrig
    Lol that's what I figured from the specificity of language, but I had to ask to make sure. Danke danke.
  21. kajnrig
    I'd grab these things in a heartbeat if they were bigger, at least 1/12 scale. The price is just too high for something too small.

    Does Tatsunoko have international distribution rights to the various Macross sequels? If not, and if HG didn't have trademarks on Macross terminology, would Studio Nue have free reign to distribute and/or license distribution rights? Can't they do so already in countries where HG doesn't have these trademarks? I recall something about them registering trademarks across the globe...

    Gonna get to work on it this weekend, but those are a TON of runners... After putting the stand together, note to self: ABS plastic. Knife, even a dull one, goes through it very easily. Must take care in future.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    It might not even come out. How's that for disappointment? Wow, that is uncanny.

    Just a small bump for more re-order links, this time Amiami. Hobbysearch still hasn't opened for preorders; I wonder if they'll take part in this at all. - VE-1 (October) http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-0152 - VT-1 (October) http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-4351 - VF-19EF/A (December) http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-4209
