    Saw it on Tuesday. Enjoyed it far more than BvS, as expected. A few disappointments, though: But really, it's just another above-average MCU movie, and the average MCU movie is already above average, so... yeah. It took Spider-Man going back to its roots in order to be exciting again. For the first time in nearly ten years, I'm excited for an upcoming Spider-Man movie.

    Squirrel-hunting with my dad when I was younger is literally the only reference point I have to the .22 LR. I have no earthly idea what else you would possibly do with it. Competition target shooting?

    Thanks for the updates, everyone. I can only hope that the Hase re-issues include a few of their rarer limited edition kits...

    It does seem like such an extensive overhaul would necessarily have to be the work of a dedicated hobbyist rather than a systemic effort. It's hardly uncommon in Macross; I can easily see Isamu crashing an air show in his original YF-19 (not the Advance), updated to modern specs. Not that it needs it, of course. Nothing can compete with the original 19 except the 21, facts and technology be damned.

    "Sir" signifies knighthood, so perhaps "Sir White"?

    I've asked this before, but does Hasegawa ever re-issue their limited-run kits? Anyway, thanks for the PE advice from earlier, and still enjoying the entire WIP. Keep it up.

    I haven't had much of a chance to keep up with the Shizuoka news. Can someone confirm/deny/add to the following summary? Bandai: - 1/72 VF-31J - 1/72 VF-31S - 1/72 SV-262 - Mecha Colle Macross line, plus Macross Elysion cruiser(?) mode Hasegawa: - 1/72 VF-31J fighter mode - 1/72 SV-262 fighter mode - 1/4000 SDF-1 movie version, Storm Attack(?) mode - nothing else? A bit disappointing... Aoshima: - VF Girl project

    Mostly Gundam, but the Bandai Macross stuff starts at the 20:37 mark, then resumes at 26:33 with the Hasegawa offerings. Bandai - 20:37 Hasegawa (SDF-1) - 26:33 Aoshima (VF Girl) - 28:32

    You might be interested in Frame Arms Girls, then.

    I'm juat glad it isn't taking them years after the Bandai one to release theirs. I'll definitely be picking up a 262 or two from them.

    Oof. Finally received my kits. On the one hand, boy do I need to stop using SAL. On the other, there's still nothing quite like the mixture of anxiety and anticipation when waiting for a package to arrive. Will get to building things up this weekend, and maybe scanning those stickers for some decal-making practice?

    Hm. I'd consider dropping my 31J preorder in favor of this one, if not for all those clashing colors... Is it different from the 31J in any significant way besides the head design? EDIT: I say all that and then immediately change my preorder to the 31S. Clearly I just like to complain. On a related note, just got an RVF-25 and Super Pack kits. Here's hoping I enjoy the build and get an idea of what to expect from this newer kit. (What's the Hasegawa RVF going for nowadays?)

    I would pay good money to see that in action. Squirrel won't even know what hit it.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Is that another "Delta 01" insignia? Or, more likely, it's "Alpha 01"?
  15. kajnrig
    ^ Seconded. I'm also wondering how they did the shoulder FAST packs. Well, the answer is fairly obviously "scratchbuilt" but all the same, a WIP would not be unappreciated. ...now I think about it, what purpose did those shoulder add-ons serve? (Am I remembering it right that there are three major components to the 19's FAST packs? The shoulder armor, leg armor with additional verniers, and booster packs for the Advance?)
  16. kajnrig
    Surprised to see subs out already (though judging by the last couple posts and the timing they're clearly releasing on Beta Version 0.9). From the raw...

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Yikes. Those Super parts emphasize just how wide the VF-31 is. Still no likey.
  18. kajnrig
    It gave us the Deedee twins, so I'm prone to agree.
  19. kajnrig
    In-canon the casings are stored in the gunpod, right? Or they're caseless? I seem to recall ammo being ejected, but it might have been creative license.

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    I forget the source, but I'm fairly certain Kawamori himself states that he designs fighter mode first, and fashions Gerwalk/Battroid afterward. It has to look like a reasonably air-worthy vehicle first, THEN a cool robot/chicken later. The opposite approach would be Gundam.
  21. kajnrig
    Yeah the initial glitz and glamour is starting to fade away now. Still, it was strong enough that I'm in it for the next few episodes at least, probably the entire run.

    People say Maki-Maki and I think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahi-mahi

    Your best bet, if it's just to display, are the model kits. Jefuemon et al might be willing to do them up for you on commission, and it'll cost a fraction of a Yamcadia VF-1 (or god forbid a VF-11). Hasegawa has almost all the main VFs at just a slightly smaller scale (1/72). VF-0AS, VF-1AJS, VF-11BC, and the ®VF-25FG (not a mainstay VF, but close). If Hase's Shizuoka showing goes the way I hope it does, then we'll be getting a Delta VF-171 (and maybe the Cheyenne *crosses fingers*), too. No battroids save the VF-1, but if it's just for display...

    A T-Rex is a large flightless bird...
  25. kajnrig
    Eh... That I could do with or without, but yes, even the batcrack.
