    Women's products, even when identical to men's, have been proven to cost more on average for... no real reason. I mean there IS a reason, sexism, but no GOOD reason.

    I've been floating that idea since I was a kid, not even as a preference, just a casual thought of "Y'know, it wouldn't surprise me if they went out once upon a time."

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Nah, just think of it as a Premium Weathering Finish.

    Oh. I had suspicions, but it definitely seemed like there was some time shenanigans afoot narratively. As for the "reasons later", I'm going to take a guess that

    Another angle. The shoulders definitely look small, the head definitely too tall.

    FMP IV episode 5 is out now.

    Just saw DP2, and IW has the better payoff. I'm not nearly as invested in Deadpool as the MCU, so it's an easy distinction to make. That said, seeing this did make me want to rewatch the first one again. This one, not as funny or as engaging as I remember the first one being, but still a super fun time. I don't think there's enough material to keep the franchise going, though. Deadpool was never very interesting by himself - part of why I'm not that interested in these movies in general - and after two films, his "shtick" very quickly gets old. Hell of a supporting cast, though.

    Eh, something fading into obscurity is no big thing. Star Wars going the way of the dodo would be just fine by me; just leaves room for something new to take its place. That said, the way that it did evolve, especially with this last movie, have been wholly satisfying, so I'm good either way. I've always thought that that HAS to have happened sometime in the Star Wars canon. But isn't it something like droids are regularly wiped so they don't become too much like a living being? Thus why C3P0 (Zero? Oh?) and R2D2 are such oddities, because they've gone for so long without being "factory reset," as it were?

    Seems to me it's a bit too tall. Shoulders also look off, but it could just be the angle. Either way, it still doesn't look bad.

    If there was one character in Star Wars that I'd have pegged as being pansexual, he was it. So...

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Not just later Valkyries. The VF-0 is I believe the largest "good guy" VF. The VF-1 is just an odd duck all around.

    http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=75 SEALED item:Item new in sealed box. “A grade item”: Used item in a near mint-condition. “B grade item”:The item has been removed from packaging and displayed in a show case. --- I've only bought from them once, and I didn't bother checking the state of the item (turned out to be sealed). Anyway, if you're willing to build it yourself, the Bandai hobby division is selling an entire Exia + Avalanche + Dash parts set for ~$75 before shipping. Cheapest I've found in the US is at USA Gundam Store, where retail price is $76.99, and shipping looks to be really cheap, and there's a 10% off coupon (ZakuAurelius10). Food for thought. https://www.usagundamstore.com/collections/new/products/pre-order-mg-1-100-gundam-avalanche-exia-dash

    ^Same. I keep hoping one day Hasegawa will announce a kit... or even Wave, at this point and with what they managed to accomplish with the VF-4. Have at it, @Urashiman, that's what I made it for. (edit: Oh, you'll need to be able to print white for the white stripes, etc. You can probably get them done by a third party like Samueldecal.) I'm just disappointed I still haven't turned them into vector art yet for easy scaling.

    I don't, thank God, because (I'm never gonna pass up an opportunity :D)

    Any reason why this is? The SF just that rare/sought after?
  19. kajnrig
    Huh. I wouldn't have expected that. Good to know.

    Is it common for a Metal Build Strike Freedom to go for ~$550? That seems... kind of ludicrous. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q210276644

    Nice review. I've a few of these lying around the house, in various states of doneness. One thing to add: The NUNS logo on sticker 3 is backwards; they simply mirrored the stickers during the design phase. Here's my "decal" version of the stickers (to be printed on decal paper), with the orientation corrected.

    Hm... BBTS and USA Gundam Store don't have any pages up yet; how do they gauge how many orders they'll accept? Wouldn't opening up later run the risk of not getting enough orders in before the preorder window closes? Granted, I'm sure Bandai will do second and third waves of production on most Gundam preorders, but still, there's a risk they might not... NY's price for the Ground Gundam adds about 500 yen over MSRP per kit. Dunno about shipping. From Japan adds a flat 540 yen domestic shipping fee to an entire order (which will be combined with the international shipping). Seems to be the best option at the moment; I'll go with that and get back to you all on how it goes.

    Anyone know of any US stores taking P-Bandai preorders? The only one I know that's taking preorders for the Ground Gundam Parachute Pack Ver. is Tatsu Hobby: http://tatsuhobby.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34&products_id=2323 I don't see any takers for the Polypod Ball, either. (Since there was no P-Bandai page last time I checked, I'm guessing it's not open for preorders just yet.)

    The promo pics suggest they've changed the heel parts as well, for the worse.
