  1. Echoing the same sentiments here. Loved the VF-31s for the most part (skinny arms not withstanding). The Sv-262 has grown on me quite a bit but I'll admit it was not love at first sight. At this point I've given up on the series and just liking the designs for what they are. Finding it hard to accept good mecha action being replaced by idols and their hardships. And their origin stories at 5 episodes from the end of the series.. LOL. end rant. Can you give an example of one of these proxy service companies that are partnered with Bandai?
  2. I had a glimpse of hope at episode 13 as to the direction of the story, I'll be honest I wasnt thrilled but that episode lit a very small fire.. Everything seemed to be cranked up to 11, while I didn't expect nor want all episodes to be that way from there on, I was hoping it would set the tone and scale of the war for episodes to come. I expected great space battles once they were forced to leave the planet and such, alas it never materialized and so far there has only been one space dogfight that was worth anything..... What is going on with the pacing? Origin story at episode 21 is completely out of place... Unless there's a crazy plot to make this 2 seasons, cause otherwise there's no way to end this in 5 episodes and have it be even somewhat decent.
  3. Anyone have any clue on the release date for the VF-31J? HLJ has it down as this month, but I'm getting a bit jittery as some of my stuff in the private warehouse will reach 60 days on the 22nd and I'll have to end up shipping out my loot possibly before this is released
  4. I'd really love to entertain the possibility of a VF-171, but seeing as it didn't happen for Frontier.. I think chances here are even less.
  5. Wow those pics are amazing. Makes me wanna pay the $500 asking price for it. but then the possibility of a reissue makes my mind go sane again.
  6. Some of the guys have said the tails definitely need glue. Not sure about the rest. (Mine is still in the HLJ private warehouse) .... Are any of these parts subject to be affected by how they are cut or trimmed from the sprue? Not saying thats the case, just wondering.
  7. Those pins look great. That flashback Minmay!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Thanks, your story is what makes me not be as happy as I otherwise would be. I'm mentally prepared for the letdown if it happens.... .....I think.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    In your cases when you mentioned you had managed to get them after the initial rush, how was that? Did they not put an order stop for them back then? Was it in your cart and then you checked out? Just trying to understand how it differs from this case.
  11. Whats your take on the kit as a whole? Always good to hear more opinons.
  12. That looks amazing. I think the question about replacement decals came up before. Apparently Bandai no longer sells them on their own as replacements. For older kits like the VF-25s there is a 3rd party option (which looks better and of higher quality) than the ones from Bandai. But I think its a long way off to have a 3rd party offering for these new kits. I'm a bit terrified of the waterslides on this kit once I start building it because of that.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So I just got the email confirmation... now I guess its off to wait for HLJ to send me a "we're sorry but......" email maybe?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Well to me HLJ said it accepted my order but never got an email.. My hopes are pretty much dead. I doubt the order went thru.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So guess no other way to get it other than the crappy resellers at jacked up prices after december....?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Wow so this is madness with HLJ... So I keep trying, not even sure if its going to amount to anything at this point. EDIT: So never mind.. lol its order stop.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So its like that for preordering DX Macross toys? :/

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Hi. I assume HLJ will have preorders for this too right? This is gonna be my first time preordering a DX. As I just cannot justify paying double the original pricetag for it later on :S...
  19. Lol completely agree.... BTW here's an illustration that might help?
  20. That would be amazing. If you're able to do it and "mass produce" them I'd be in for a few of those designs.
  21. Thanks. Had forgotten that setup.
  22. That front art is a bit odd... I would think Kaname should show up beside Arad on the box instead of Mikumo? I mean Freyja shows up beside Hayate on the VF-31J box soooo..
  23. Scanner? You plan to make them waterslide decals instead of stickers?
  24. These sparked my curiosity on other Macross 1/144 offerings hopefully Tomytec follows up with Strike/Super pack equipped VFs. I have 2 Chara-Works models coming in the mail. And more to come as I scout them out on the webz.. They look really good with some panel wash.
