While the Robotech comic is really shitty, on the other end of the spectrum is Universal War One. Great sci-fi story, I bought the book since it was highly recommended. Of course as a Eurocomic it was first published elsewhere but it's evidence they can also publish excellent comics once in a while. That said I have no experience on the other stuff which seems to be mainly titles related to movie/TV/game franchises. And I doubt Titan does quality checks on the Robotech comics.

One good thing about this forum is that you can always count on the enablers!
-
If next year I might forget about it by then! But my wallet is happy...for now.
-
So glad I waited and passed on Mikimoto Haruhiko Character Works. Though if I got more money I'd probably still buy that in the future. Hopefully this new one doesn't get sold out too fast.

Is this sh9000 an AI connected to a cash dispensing machine that auto-buys multiples of HMRs? That's so futuristic!
-
So that part was always going to get scratched huh? How would one remove such lumps to avoid scratching?
-
They may be too excited, or sometimes it's fun to figure things out? For one I am guilty of not properly 'reading' gunpla/kit instructions and then suffering the consequences. But for expensive stuff like these valks I'd 'read' the manual at least, and/or search transformation videos on youtube.

Wouldn't it be better if they sell the license to a Japanese company? Surely they'd get more than if they'd sell to HG? HG turns out crap comics which doesn't help...
-
I wanted an HG since it would be cheaper. And I already built the HG Char Zaku II Origin kit which I liked it so I feel safe if I choose another HG version too.
-
Another vote for the Type C/C-5!
-
That's a really good reason to get the Type C/C-5. And it's one of the least expensive. Thanks! Now all I gotta do is wait for next payday

Guys can you help me decide which Zaku II I should get? I have been puzzling over several days already on what Zaku II kit would be best. I've listed the ones I'm considering below. HG kits only since this is an impulse of mine (I'm looking at green color-themed kits) and I don't want to spend that much. The last item looks interesting but more expensive, my original choice is the Zaku Ground War Set but a comment says it doesn't have much details? I don't paint kits so I also want a good-looking finished kit without paint. 1/144 HG Zaku II Type C / Type C-5 1/144 HGUC MS-06 Zaku The Ground War Set 1/144 HG MS-06 Zaku II (Gundam Thunderbolt Ver.) 1/144 Zaku II + Big Gun (Gundam Thunderbolt Ver.) -- Anime Ver.

Not interested in this so thankfully my wallet can have its rest. I have other upcoming non-toy related expenses so this respite is welcome.
-
Thanks! Hopefully it doesnt get sold out by the time I have funds for it.

Only read this today--thanks for that Miyatake interview! I'm really envious of all those info that Japanese readers get from their mecha designers based on interviews like this.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
hachi replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I thought it was a mecha show? Though I only saw the first episode and didn't continue as I felt it was not my type of mecha show. -
It's unfortunate I don't have the budget for this one yet. Could you estimate a ratio of Macross vs non-Macross designs?
-
Wow so they do keep count of your cancellations. For me I think I only cancelled once or twice from them.
-
So my authorization for the VT-1 expired, and thankfully the money I'd been out of was restored to my debit card account. Right now entertaining thoughts of just cancelling the order and putting the money into mutual funds (the PSE is trending downward)... But then again we don't know if we're getting a VF1D (which is what I really want), so maybe I'll keep this order to give me my orange valk fix.

Legend of Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These. Coming April 2018.
hachi replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Nendo for Yang Wen-li is up for pre-order: https://hlj.com/product/gsc90580 I say the Galactic Empire (Reinhard) still wins. I would have called it a tie if they included a console for Yang to sit on. -
I actually liked Pailsen Files because I saw it first before the TV series haha. I never really finished the TV series as I get bored after a few episodes, but I like the Scopedogs as they are a unique design. I didn't know Pailsen Files was bad vs other iterations but I guess ignorance is bliss. I also liked Mellowlink. Maybe they should reboot Votoms series and make it not-boring.

Battlestar Galactica Discussion IV with Blood And Chrome
hachi replied to 505thAirborne's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Oh, too bad I guess. If I really wanted to I could get it from US stores cheaper then. But then now I'm still not in the mood to spend haha. So Present Hachi is in agreement with Past Hachi for financial mood reasons. But damn, if there was only a Filthy Rich Hachi... I wish -
After 6 days, I think assembly is mostly done (except maybe stickers and other additional stuff to make it photo- and display-friendly). I only went to work for 2 days this week, so I guess it could have been done in 4 days if there was no interruption due to work. Over-all I admire this kit, and I would not have been so frustrated at first if I didn't have to 'rush' through it. As a consequence I made mistakes but I don't mind as I really wanted to finish this ASAP to ease my backlog of unbuilt kits. Hopefully I can start the next kit to build tomorrow or Sunday.

Battlestar Galactica Discussion IV with Blood And Chrome
hachi replied to 505thAirborne's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So HLJ has an Eaglemoss Battlestar Viper II for pre-order but it seems to be more expensive. Is it really the same as this one? Or is it the same but it's imported and they're just reselling it with a bigger markup? https://hlj.com/product/egmbgsuk001
