So, I am pretty new to the whole non-Gunpla side of Gundam. I have a Metal Robot Spirits Wing Gundam Zero and I love it, though it is a bit small......I recently got a Metal Build Strike Gundam Tamashii Store exclusive Heliopolis rollout release and I have to say that I am very impressed with the detail and heft of the Metal Build Strike Gundam. I am a little frustrated with the Launcher accessory add on kit that I bought along with it, the shoulder piece falls off way too easily and the big gun on the arm is unwieldy as all get out to try to manipulate and make it look good. My Question is, is there a Metal Build Zeta Gundam or Zeta Plus Gundam? I know of the Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite Zeta Plus set, but I do not think it is the same as a metal build.....What would people recommend? Thanks! Twich -
So I see that the regular release of the Fugo FS-01 VF-1S God of Flame release has also been pushed to Q3 2024. So I guess the hold up is not the stand..... Twich

Finally got home from vacation and got to open my acquisitions. The VF-171EX Armored was stressful moving the legs to get the armor on, I was so worried the legs would snap off it I moved it wrong! Love the new YF-19! I don’t need the missiles or fast packs, but that is my preference, I already have the VF-19 Advance. The Tiny Sessions VF-25F Tamashii Store exclusive is my first Tiny Session toy, and I think it is really nice, though I will have to play around with it more to see if it is $50 nice. Twich

I have mine waiting at home for me when I return from vacation….will have a Bandai DX Chogokin YF-19 that I acquired from Tamashii Nations Store in New York City to go along with it. I know that the YF-19 is similar to the VF-19Advance, as far as the toy goes, but I am just excited to have both, since I never owned a VF-17/VF-171 before now and I’m looking forward to matching these up with the YF-21 I have pre-ordered from BBTS.

Why did the card on the VF-1J Rick say “prototype, pending licenser approval”. I thought the VF-1J was a done deal? Twich

So, does anyone have any insight as to why this was pushed to W3 2024 on the ShowZStore Website? Twich

Thank you for bumping this thread, don’t know why the search didn’t direct me to this thread….. Twich

I tried looking for the FG Model FG-1S God of Flame KO thread and couldn’t find one, except mentioned in this one…..sorry, trying to keep the talk in the same place…. Twich

Anyone else see that the FG MODEL FG-01 VF-1S God of Flame has been moved to a 3rd Quarter 2024 release on ShowZstore? Twich

Don’t know if this was discussed/discovered before, but it looks like it has an articulated waist at the nosecone. Did anyone see the release date? First quarter 2024 ends in a few weeks….. Twich

Thanks! The other guy in the picture actually lives on Long Island and was a godsend playing tour guide/subway/commuter train guide! Twich

So, I am vacationing in New York right now, went into Times Square, to the Tamashii Nations store and scored me a Bandai DX Chogokin YF-19 AND a Tiny Sessions VF-25F Metallic Tamashii Nationd Store exclusive! I also got a Tamashii Nations Metal Build Strike Gundam Heliopolis Rollour Version Tamashii Store exclusive with the Launcher Striker add on set! -PS- I’m the one holding the bags! Twich

It does look like it is advertising Max’s VF-22S Sturmvogel II, is that right? Twich

I think that Arcadia could make some serious cash if they were to re-release some of those things that few people had the opportunity to acquire, such as the 1/60 Premium Finish VF-0S and VF-0D, heck, release all the Macross Zero 1/60, but make the “Premium Finish” the regular release to compete with Bandai’s DX Chogokin tampo printing. Also, Arcadia could have released a WWM edition VF-1J for the 40th. They did it for 30&35. Twich

LOL! The lack of spousal care of our toys leads me to place my things at least 2 feet taller than my wife, but have only had one episode of things being knocked off the shelf, many a Gundam and my Bandai DX Chogokin VF-19Advance were the casualties and the head laser broke off! Super glue and a tooth pick made that fixable. Good to see you around M’Kyuun! Twich

I think that contest would be a matter of scale. A SDF Macross is 1200 meters long for SDF-1 and longer for subsequent models(battle 13, 25,.etc). How big is The Ark? The Ark, also is a living robot. SDF/Battle are essential giant piloted mecha that lack the articulation of smaller VF scale mecha. Now Macross Quarter? If the Ark was in the 400 meter scale, then it might be a more interesting battle. Twich

So, I was sent the same email that was posted above about the Animego Macross 2 Kickstarter and I broke down and upgraded to the basic->basic plus artbook for an additional $32 USD. I can not be sure that this will not be the last thing that we get to see as fans of Macross 2, so I thought that this was worth the extra $32. I am looking forward to receiving this, since it wont come out until December 2024, I will probably have forgotten all about it and this will be a welcome surprise! I hope that Bandai or Arcadia sees the interest in this and makes a DX Chogokin VF-2SS Twich

This discussion seems to remind me of the discussion had with transforming the Bandai DX Chogokin SV-262Hs toy. Still the only Macross jet to give me actual anxiety to transform. I have one of these on pre-order and am remembering the glory days of Yamato’s 1/72 YF-21, then the revised version that came with fast packs and extendo hands/wrists that Yamato included due to feedback.

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
twich replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
for infinite Justice Gundam 2.0, it looks like they took an Incom T-65B X-Wing Fighter and attached beam weapons to go in between the engines and the wingtip laser cannons and stuck it to the back of Infinite Justice......I kinda liked the old Green Goblin thing that Justice and Infinite Justice had.....

I have a feeling that this will be in the 25,000-30,000 yen range from Arcadia. Hope it is as easy to get as Bandai’s WWM releases. Twich

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
twich replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
I’m sorry, I had always assumed that the max speed of the VF-1 was below Mach 4, even in space. Am I mistaken? I knew a little about the ramjet being operable in speeds of above Mach 3. I know the boosters on the super packs for the VF-1 have quite a bit of thrust, but limited in fuel capacity. I find it disappointing that so little information is available on the VF-4. Twich -
Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
twich replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
So, I don’t think this has been answered before, but what is the total thrust that the VF-4A or VF-4G can produce? We know what the Thermo Nuclear Reaction Engines produce, but what about the rockets? What about the Ramjets? The VF is rather unique with all of its engines and sources of thrust. Only the VB-6 comes close with its engines. Does the Variable Fighter Master File even touch on this? Twich -
So, I contributed to this at its most basic level. I guess I was unaware that this would not be arriving in our hands until December 2024. Probably my ignorance of these things, as I had never been on kickstarter before this, but didn’t realize the timeframe. I am super excited that I will get a 4K copy of Macross 2, to go along with my old copy of Animego’s Super Dimension Fortress Macross that they did…… Twich

I know that Yamato is focusing on their VF-19Kai Fire Valk Sound Booster release, but it sure would be nice for a release on the VF-5000. Twich

twich replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Engine thrust is about 1000kN more in the basic VF-25A then in the basic VF-19A, which is in the 600kN range per engine. 5th Gen has ISC, which the VF-19 and other 4th Gen VF’s don’t have. Twich
