    very beautiful pics. i wasn't even aware they were nuclear in the series or movie until reading up on it, i kept thinking Rick Hunter and company wasted a bunch of warheads on a bunch of decoy battlepods i do wish Max and Miria came with red tip nukes

    sorry, but it's a public forum on arcadia Max and Miria. Macross release dates are few and far between. If people reply and agree/disagree, it's fine to respond if it's on topic. you're welcome to join in. no one is forcing you to read it. What would you like to repeat and discuss about in between releases, Nippon Yasan late shipping methods? let us know and we'll respond.

    i like SlaveIV reporting the valks he owned. stop apologizing, you did nothing wrong. though if it makes you feel better, i forgive you and accept your apology. i quoted the issues i was reading in case for reference. yeah, it's really hard to tell with a small sample size, i agree. my alarm went off in my head while i was reading the posts above way back in the thread. the negative reports may have came across compounded bc it's one right after another and it's still really a small sample size to draw a definitive conclusion. But nevertheless, it wasn't a positive sign to me. i read all the positive and safe users like Slave's above but then again we don't hope Arcadia's failure rate is 1 out of 2. pretty much not accounting lurkers, all current users posted so far about 6-8 users brought either Miria and Max and 3 users had issues. (granted the hard point was always an issue with a yamatos as i needed to admit) my point was i never seen back to back broken reports of hard points. (though they may have occured during yamatos time and just wasn't reported) it just made me nervous reading about the retooling and QA that should've been better controlled in my opinion by this point in the VF-1's life cycle. what i should've expressed originally rather than "go personal" with tunnel vision and be an ass. it's still up in the air and these issues could be just over blown. but i'd lean on the side that Arcadia has sloppy QA or even if it's a stretch and ridiculus by some, that it could be aging mold issues, than give Arcadia the benefit of the doubt that the errors were just common fluke occurrences with the same rate of failure as yamato. before becoming ape and irrational, i should've been more constructive and point out Yamato has been around longer so it's unfair to judge the entire body of work of yamato vs. Arcadia when talking about the number of hard point issues that were reported between the two companies. obviously Yamato may have more reported due to the sheer length of production time of the vf-1 i would argue the number of occurances of issues from Yamato need to be examined over a specific of time period of yamato as the early stages of yamato there were a lot of issues and towards the end many issues were ironed out. i argue that yamato evolved and refined QA the vf-1 to the point where many of the issues became rare occurances for the vf-1. my expectation was by "Premium" and "retooled" by the time the vf-1 came to arcadia these issues should be so rare that it surprised me to see back to back reports of breakage even though hard point failures has happened to yamato vf-1's throughout it's life cycle. i hope they weren't as often or back to back with yamato, at least i never heard of them back to back on the same release on MW. though the point is we're such a small sample size it's hard to tell. what was posted above i believe.

    this is separate item from the 00 announcement. given the names, i would expect something from U.C. i would be so happy if it's Crossbone

    nah, it's just me going one on one with another long time MWer that's from a long time ago just alot of history with mutual respect in between. just happened that i was arguing a weak point and got my ass handed to me. out of my old 10k post account, probably about 2 posts ended up being weak arguments. one about the vf-29, which i do not like, and argued it's not as good as a renewal 25. i had a decent point but wasn't that strong and got backlash. and 1 more argument on a MP. i hope i didn't mislead you that i was agreeing with on the 0D/A... I responded positively bc i see generally you're mostly complementary and positive on here To be clear, the VF-0A/D was not widespread. you were not on MW at the time but that's the wrong conclusion. check back at the posts on the VF-0, the thread is still active. (my old account posts are there,) there were only about 4 users that had a problem and alot of "it's overblown and it's not an issue" posts. But when 2 users reported it it was corrected for all VF-0's going forward. if there's a new release and there's several reporting issues. anyone jumping saying it's a overreaction without any real data i pretty much say show pics or user data. the hardpoints weren't an issue on my Yamato's but i see evidence of the contrary and i was wrong. i acted like an ass to 2 long time users i respect and have a long history with they deserve better and more constructive posts. i'm still watching the Arcadia Max and Miria and keeping tabs on: the plastic on the arcadia Max and Miria seems to have stretch marks that i'm concerned about. i never heard and of that on the Yamatos (again, i could be in error but please counter with evidence as there were none reported on MW threads) the hardpoints are shaped different to which we all agree and miria color shade is different. i'm hoping Premium Max is consistently close if not the same shade.

    i just got back home and haven't seen anything from CD japan or HLJ
  14. davidwhangchoi
    just got back, damn the 31A is stil going up price. I kinda figured Bandai was slow in shipping them out but eventually there would be plenty of stock.
  15. davidwhangchoi
    hey Gundam figure peeps, i was away the entire week! anything i miss?. I hope X-105 pre orders are announced soon!
  16. davidwhangchoi
    Hey Thanks SlaveIV for being so kind and complimentary with your words! just got back from a week away for work and just saw your post. Nice blues Treatment!
  17. davidwhangchoi
    it's not a few loud complaints. it was several users that reported it. if a few reported it, it's legitimate. i myself single handedly was loud but my argument was destroyed by factual user experience. my ass was handed to me and i admit it was a poor point. but please don't discourage even a few reports by writing them off as loud complaints. those are necessary to ID problems. if only a few people complain it may an issue and not over blown. that was the point for the 0A/D. only a few complained and we heard the same crap from everyone else saying most people don't have issues, but "our entire line of VF-0's going forward were corrected after a few user pics and those " loud complaints" comparisons from yamato to arcadia via benbenben4213 who reports the color is a shade (slight) different from yamato
  18. davidwhangchoi
