  1. CnP from the Draken thread:
  2. That same advert shows (picture is blown up 2x) - Egg Plane YF-19, October 1300 - 1/48 VF-1 photo-etched parts, October 2000 - 1/48 YF-19 photo-etched parts, October 2000 - 1/72 Reactive Armored VF-0S, November 9 4800 - 1/72 VF-1S Lynn Minmay Guard, December 16 3800 - 1/72 VF-31A Kairos, December 26 3800
  3. It's kind of hard for me to ever get into other "alternate designs" when they hit the ball so far out of the park with the sole canon alternate design. And that was the Eva LOSING armor instead of gaining it.
  4. They are not canon to the anime, movie (the Evas saw a minor redesign for EoE), or Rebuild. I forget who, but a couple folks here noted the similarities to something called "ANIMA." Maybe a special one-off design or something.
  5. Not yet. Apparently it'll be coming to Netflix soon under the name "Last Hope," as in the Last thing in Pandora's Box was Hope.
  6. CnP'ing a CnP from Gundam Eclipse. See, that head looks totally fine now that it's jutting forward again. (EDIT: actually no it still looks funky because now that orange armor is all sorts of wtf)
  7. Oh, the $1 offer was the F-U from the customer. Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll try to keep your recommendation in mind, @renegadeleader1. To clarify, I was offering below the BIN price, which was already priced well below the retail price of the kit, hence the first sentence. Blah, oh well, what's done is done.
  8. Apparently Build Divers is getting a MG Qubeley: http://www.taghobby.com/archives/306734 EDIT: It is based on a Naoki custom. I'm really liking that a bunch of his stuff is getting the Gunpla treatment. Kana for its name reads "Kyu-be-rei da-mu-do." Qubeley Damned? --- On another note, could you all lend some insight? I was negotiating a price with a customer for a kit on Ebay, and after a couple offers, I made one final offer saying, "Item is already a steal at BIN price. Unless you're adamant about the box, you won't find this kit for cheaper. If you are, you'll be best served looking elsewhere. Many thanks." Apparently, the customer thought that was rude and said as much - "It's not polite to be rude to a potential customer" - on their next offer of $0.99. It befuddles me why they would think that, but maybe I'm just not seeing it? Thoughts?
  9. Maybe you confused Episode IX with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3? Otherwise, Solo switched from Lord and Miller to Ron Howard... but I think that's it for recent-ish Disney movie director news.
  10. To be fair, the proportions are only slightly more exaggerated than the Rebuild designs, which were already fairly noticeably different from the original (and dare I say it more iconic) super-skinny designs. The head is almost always hunched forward in the animations (forcibly, by its armor), so you never get a good look at it standing fully erect. The shoulder pylons have been drastically downsized, though, which really disrupts the iconic silhouette. I'm also not a fan of the wrist cuffs; they bring to mind Mari's Eva-08(?), which is... fine, i guess, but certainly not my cup of tea. Its trunk also looks to be one section too long. Notice that the hands are level with the hip joints when they "should" reach to around mid-thigh or the knees.
  11. God, that entire lower half is still so butt ugly.
  12. ANN interviews Kawamori: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2018-08-23/interview-macross-creator-shoji-kawamori/.135843
  13. I've had instances where the item kept moving back and forth between Chicago and my home city, Madison. Sometimes it's just one postal worker (or one postal location) that reads the international label wrong and sends it the wrong way. I've also had cases where a package languished in my local post office for several days/weeks; in those cases, I just went to the post office and asked about it, and eventually they found it waiting wherever it waited and got it to me. If it turns out to be missing/stolen, then... well, I've fortunately never experienced that, so I can't help in that circumstance. I'm sure some of the other folks here would be able to help with that.
  14. Honestly, I might get this just to have a VF-31A I can finally swoosh around...
  15. Is that the Guncannon-looking one? (EDIT: Is there even a Guncannon-esque MS in Victory at all, or was that F91?) Either way, if it's anything like this one is shaping up to be, I'm all for it. RE/100 Palace Athene next, please.
  16. Ah, thanks. I completely forgot about the two variations already released.
  17. "Version 1.3"? What other improvements are they planning to make, and what improvements were in versions 1.1 and 1.2?
  18. Thinking back to my vague memories of DYRL, I remember being kind of bored by the whole Protoculture subplot that I think Hikaru and Misa go on. (I forget where, too... Earth? Mars? There were the ruins of another Zentraedi ship or something?) I've never really liked the Protoculture stuff in general, but that in particular brought down the movie for me. Don't remember much of the mecha action or the animation (both of which are fine if dated IIRC) except that it was remarkably graphic, but the Protoculture stuff stuck in my mind. Which is all just a way of saying that even DYRL has its faults. None of the entries in the series are perfect except Plus.
  19. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-08-22/macross-frontier-sheryl-ranka-sing-new-song-with-music-video/.135768 New music video along with new CD featuring three tracks (Ranka solo, Sheryl solo, duet). Songs are I believe the ones discussed a few posts up.
  20. ^ It's refreshing to see someone play who actually knows how to play.
  21. I thought that was going to be a lotto drawing? How does getting a ticket/the drawing work? I remember the same thing happened for the VF-31J Kai, but I didn't pay it much attention at the time.
  22. Haven't checked this thread in a while. Anything extra confirmed to be included on the BD/DVD? Making of? Concert video? Sexy 1/6-scale figures of Walkure + Mirage?
  23. I still take some dumb measure of pride in not knowing which of those names is which Gundam. I hear the names and I expect them to follow up with a Truth Gundam, and a The American Way Gundam.
