I don't know about the size of the two monsters but the price on Japanese toys have increased greatly in the last few years, so the cost comparison may be a bit off.
-
I wish vierres was a normal release, but I still want it.
-
Head of the class was my favorite. Just showed it to my daughter for Halloween and she loved it.
-
Any one get the wave votoms kits. The new 1/35 scope dog turbo looks cool from the pics, but I don't think it can do downform or seat a pilot. The action pics look nice though.
-
I've been thinking that the way the monster looks so far it may have a lot of hollow areas which may keep the cost lower than some of the expectations, but it will still be costly. No matter what it's a must own item for me.

If you want an unopen collectible some items of the black series seem to jump in price faster, but I personally like the figuarts versions and they do make hero figures now and then. The faces on the black series usually seem a bit off for the human characters.

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru Witch from Mercury
Big s replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm not liking the music choices, but loving the animation and action. The thunderbolt characters so far seem more entertaining than gundam usually gets. Can't wait for more. -
I just hope I can afford all10 releases. But so far I like the variety of the prototypes. I guess it makes me feel like anything is possible. I love the Valkyries destroids and enemy mecha and have since I was a kid. Let's just hope bandai doesn't let us down.
-
I could be wrong but I I think the Yamato max and millia were being sold at a higher price than most toys out at the time in Japan. And the original full metal line were web exclusives that were in stores were sold originally at a premium price that over time had to have discounts added in at a later time. They also had overproduction causing both lines to fail. The average non transforming action figures like sh figuarts, revoltech, figma, and playarts in Japan today are sold at much higher prices than only a few years ago. Transforming hmr figures with accessories like fast packs, strike packs, and full armor are almost a bargain. From what I have seen so far the hmr line doesn't seem to have a problem with over production. The Roy 1s is not sold out at a lot of retailers due to the web exclusive mark up even though Roy kits and toys have always been more popular than Hikaru Valkyries. I have no doubt if the Roy Valkyrie were sold as a normal release it would have been an immediate sell out item, and maybe everyone able to vote in the poll were hoping their votes would make the max and millia a normal release instead of a web exclusive item.
-
They may not have been my personal choice, but max and millia Valkyries have always been very popular. These also have the super packs to raise their interest. Most of us are just thinking of these as repainted, but to a lot of others they represent favorite characters. I personally agree they were too high on the list for my taste but I don't believe the poll was rigged or that the people voting were just stupid. We all love macross just some people tend to personalize a machine rather than look at the design. I really do hope that all the choices get made and maybe a couple of repaints I don't need will give me a couple of months to recover from trying to get the glaug and monster which will surely kill my wallet.
-
The monster and q rau were my 2favorites. I knew the m and m would be popular but not that popular. I would have liked to see the n ger or Spartan a bit higher on the list. I would still like to eventually see them all produced.
-
Any word on when preorder madness starts for the glaug
-
I have a friend that only knows the battletech names and another that only knows robotech names, so when I use macross names for the same mecha with them it gets stupid confusing. We end up saying stuff like the one with gun arms on 2 legs that's tan not green with a missile rack on top.(tomahawk, Excalibur, and I can't even remember the battletech name I think it was war hammer or something.)

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
Big s replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hlj was really good about honoring instead of canceling the preorders on bandai Star Wars kits as long as the preorder was placed before the embargo. I got my Bobba Fett that way. -
I do feel like even some of the hg kits should have decals. My cross bone kit has this chest area that is rounded. The emblem that goes there looks really great, but it's a sticker. I really hate stickers, but I don't want to judge anyone who uses them. I haven't built the kit hoping for a decal release, but it's been a while and I'm losing hope. I guess the point I was trying to make is that bandai makes these decals for kits from Star Wars to Macross, but not their flagship items. The Star Wars figure kits are basically a dressed up hg gundam. In some cases they are even simpler kits than the hg gundams, but all of the figure kits have waterslides even though they have no markings or even numbered units. I was happy when they put out decal sets for the rg mk2 and the gp01, but they haven't put them out for any rg's since. I guess my z'gock will also be sitting perpetually on a shelf.
-
I was wondering why bandai doesn't include waterside decals with most of their gundam kits. They put them in with their votoms, macross and even the Star Wars figure kits, but not for hg, rg, or sometimes they don't put them in mg or pg or other gundam kits.
-
Just ordered kylo ren and fo storm trooper from Hlj. Ren is green tag in stock fo st red tag low stock.
-
What kind of two part epoxy is good for casting parts.
-
With decals I always coat then pannel line the part to give a more realistic look, even if the line goes through the decal.
-
I'm with you about not wanting them to transform. I think they would look really cool having all 3modes displayed together.
-
I have yet to open the 1s, but the grey looks darker than the 1j. Although I am looking through a plastic window, so it may be a little lighter out of the package. I was thinking about keeping this one mib and opening the Roy version because I don't think I would want to ever sell the roy1s with that super cool stand.
-
For the anime it's probably correct. That show as awesome as it is had a scale system that made no sense. He regult should be able to fit pilots the height close to the vf1, but in most shots the enemy me ha would only be around waist high. By th way I love the work here.
-
That picture reminds me of the boxart on one of my old nichomo kits.
-
If the voting is up to Japan only i would imagine the q rau will be high up on the list. I personally want the monster, but most of the choices look good. I hope they eventually release them all.
-
I'm pretty sure they don't transform and to be honest at that scale i wouldn't want them to. But when I mentioned fix pose I meant no articulation on the battroid or gerwalk. Although it is hard to tell at this point. If anyone can get some more info it would be appreciated.
