There’s also the collar or back of where the fuselage breaks for transformation isn’t showing in that picture like it does in the promo, so I’m pretty sure it’s not transformed right
-
Yeah $25 difference vs $60 difference makes no sense unless there’s something else going on that we don’t know about. Either that or Bandai hates Americans
-
Went to the page and it says server maintenance
-
Sorry, I was a bit off above. The ez8 was about $25 more. The vf0 was definitely $60 more
-
I think something else is going on here. The same night had several Bandai items like sh figuarts and gundam toys. Those on hobbysearch were only $10 more expensive at bbts. The hmr at hobbysearch was about $110 and was I think $165 or $169 also at bbts. That’s about a $55 or $60 difference. The package s aren’t that much bigger on this vs that ez8. I kinda wonder if to get permission to sell these in the states that Bandai had to pay off harmony gold or something. Either way it’s an extreme jump in price compared to the other items that went up for preorder on the same night

I don’t remember those two dying at all. Between them they probably have the higher kill count than an entire army.

She did read his mind a bit. She knew he knew something. She just didn’t get to far because she was interrupted. Either that or she took a damn good guess
-
The turd sister seems to have an odd ability to read minds. Yet still takes her a decade to find obi wan

The leg can kick out to the side but I don’t know about that far, but give it a try anyway

Gundam Core Fighter...er... flight difficulties...

Thanks for posting. I needed a laugh after watching those first terrible episodes of obi wan. Loved the looks to the camera on these -
As bad off as he ended up, I gotta give him credit for being out there as much as he can.
-
Exciting touches for sure. Love the action.

The first episode is totally boring. The sons one was more annoying than good. I hate those cheesy inquisitors and the kid. I would’ve loved to see Ben just kill her and go back home. A land back to the stupid inquisitors taking 10 years to come up with a stupid plan. The turd sister wasting time trying to look fancy jumping all over in the most cringy of flippy flips gets out run by a ten year old just because she did a simpler way of jumping across the buildings and then she wastes her time again after being told not to waste time. She’s like dark side jar jar, and the kid is like sassy jar jar.

Hobby Japan Vintage #7 coming end of March...more Macross kits!
Big s replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Looks great. Lots of memories there -
Entertainment Earth is currently listing the VF-0 for $165. This coupon gets a random Star Wars black figure. It may be a good one or your most hated character. I don’t collect them, but if you use the code in green it should qualify for the promo. It also appears to be one time use, so whoever uses it first will probably invalidate the code. Sorry for the bad picture, hope it at least helps someone. And it if you do end up liking whatever they send you, think of it as like a $20 off since that’s the cost of one of those black series figures
-
They actually retract design wise, just like the old vf-1. And the wings don’t add the articulation forward, the hips actually have a wider stance on the hmr outward
-
Gotta do what you can to cut costs
-
Just checked on the prices for the robot spirits and sh figuarts stuff that went on sale at the same time as the hmr vf0 and those items were only marked up about $10 different from the Japanese sale price. Maybe Bandai had to pay some cash to hg to be able to sell outside of Japan for their Macross stuff
-
The other Macross stuff has movie releases in the states, so I would expect the ova and even full series to more than likely get released in some form or another

I mentioned on one of these pages that when I had to ship the regult model kit that was only $20, they were charging almost $60 to ship. That price didn’t even change when I bundled a few items with it. so at the cheapest price on these being close to $100, adding $60 isn’t so bad. But from the short time since that Regult came out the shipping has gotten cheaper to my understanding. And Bandai definitely bundles their shipments in bulk, so the markup shouldn’t be that big a difference. as far as the hmr being worth only half an Arcadia is being a bit kind to Arcadia. The hmr vf0 will be a bit shorter and may lack the functional landing gear, but appears to be able to pose better and looks better overall, plus it has the shorter wing option for battroid that makes it more accurate to the anime. And a cool stand

Grab your favorite box and get him to sign.

I think that’s the only store left that I would have thought would carry this. Surprised it’s not there. you had some points there right?
-
The price at some places really didn’t seem any worse than what I expected. $102 for a new mold with what appears to be better engineered and has option parts for the legs as well as a nice little stand. too bad the states didn’t get closer to that price.
-
I remember buying the regult kit from hasegawa on sale for $20 and they wanted almost $60 for the shipping. I had to bundle it to save money. But in this case Bandai is already getting a bundle deal shipping in bulk, but screwing everyone over outside of Japan. They don’t want outsiders buying their stuff and then punishing us for wanting to help earn them money. I expected these to be more expensive due to shipping, but it’s a bit much. I was thinking $40 at the most above the Japanese price

I kinda like the younger audience adventure stuff lately. Space shows like Lost in Space and the Mandalorian have been good so far and as far as fantasy, I really liked Dark Crystal. Hopefully more fun stuff will be on the way
