  1. this is all i saw and thought that was the sv-51 announcement. those stands being released?
  2. it's almost certain it will be tucked away and perfect transformation at that larger scale. prob the only add ons will be the armpit pieces.
  3. oh... i see i saw it on anime export and just let it pass thinking it's fine... i guess i should've grabbed the M9...
  4. you should've gone with amazon. 1200yen fast shipping. it's unreal. they have also mp megs for an insane price too. for M9, you don't wanna go with anime export or nippon? i'm going to get one but not sure which retailer. btw, are you on shmups? i see someone with the same avatar
  5. yeah good observations. i see that too. everything you said so very true... Bandai got so much more capital and muscle behind them it's going to be hard for arcadia. bandai looked so crushed when yamato was king. These Dx 1/48's may kinda a rehash in the most fearful way. they may be floppy mess... did you see when Kawamori was handling the Dx Battroid? the wing fins popped off like the yamato 1/48's... but i'm still hype as hell bc we haven't had a new vf-1 mold in a long time. still waiting for a Vf-1 that can non parts forming lower it's heat shield in fighter to recreate vf-1s entering earth's atmosphere and really act like a "heat shield" gimme a TV SDF-1 too. i hope arcadia or bandai tried to beat each other to the punch so we can have two TV Sdf's. i'm looking forward to the Sv-51. i hope it is amazing and they do well to go on to a 21 or 11b/c armored. it sounds like Mr. K is cornered and has a hard time getting approval unless it's a safe cost effective to be profitable in his bosses eyes. i'm skeptical his bosses are supportive of new mold projects which costs alot of of time, R & D, and money... seems like there is minimal support for new projects due to fear of lackluster sales. result: jack up the prices with mimal new tooling seems to be arcadia's means these days... (old mold, new tampo, charge premium) the competition looks bleak atm.
  6. looking at the photo again, the turrets seem like they can articulate like 10-30 degrees. (fingers crossed that it can)
  7. honestly agree with the scale of the HMR especially with the enemy mecha which" I grabbed them all!" the turn off was hi metal hype of Kawamori showing sketches like it was going to be a nice retool... ended up being the same mold. not knocking it but i guess i was over hyped looking for a new mold ala renewal and that let me down not the toy itself just the over hype. i still brought one of each. but not doubles to 5x like i normally would. the scale is perfect though, i just wish there's a renewal coming down the line with a retractable heat shield in the same great line and scale. this 1.48 though is so low priced, full tampo'd and brand new mold. recipe for hype!!!!!
  8. that's actually a legit fear that you pointed out. since it is out of the resin prototype stage and was being handled by Kawamori in the youtube clip. i fear it may be permanent... but the optimist in me says it looks like they can articulate a bit and just looks out of position.
  9. i think arcadia knows it's coming closer to the end as it seems like they can't do a 1/48 v2 since bandai seems to got that scale booked.
  10. damn! that's amazing number. i got 3x one for each mode since it's a new line. can't wait for Roy to go ham this size is perfect
  11. lol Zero is like the only thing they have left for new molds. Bandai is in full conquer mode. i was really not into hi metal bc it was a rehash of the old line as well (like what arcadia is doing) but this new mold and scale is exciting. something new and fresh for SDF-1 Macross
  12. it's funny, i was just going to post: after this releases in December, we may need to revive the Marketwatch thread again
  13. how many you grab last night 2x?
  14. yeah, this line has got me excited again!
  15. the greatest thing was when the new VF-0S was colored grey white. i immediately brought 3.
  16. that last line would be a dream. i'd be all in on some of the schemes. as me and you already got/had the entire 1/60 line up, nothing's really appealing for arcadia except grabbing a premium for completionist sake but it's ho hum... i don't feel motivated anymore to post and keep up these days due to the lack of new arcadia content. these anniversary releases don't excite me at all. remember the days we used to each hit like 30-50 posts a day? MW was so consuming. i hope it's like that with the new series around the corner. Arcadia please do something new!!!
  17. How many did you end up getting last night? you getting another MB Strike?
  18. yeah, drives me crazy... remember that minmay guard hoax? i would've brought 5 in a heartbeat. aside from rehashes, don't have much hope for arcadia... now that Bandai got the vf-1
  19. Chestplate is yellowing already,
  20. i honestly wish when accadia collaborates with Hasegawa for these anniversary schemes they do something like the Black Aces.
  21. Seti, i ended getting 2 from amiami like everyone else double clicking and afraid to re adjust, and then my friends that i've been convincing to get into Macross ordered from amazon jyp and shared with me the link. so i got one from there.
  22. drool, Seti, how many did you get last night? drool more... this is the 1st time ever amazon is allowing shipping of Bandai Chogokin Macross valks, so it's exciting and perhaps future pre-orders are going to be easy until scalpers catch on. Amazon jyp so far has been very reliable in terms oshipping out my other items.
  23. yo, jv, you getting one? this might be the first 1'60 i pass on. not sure... on the fence
  24. it's sold out on amazon, that's not second round amazon doesn't raise prices
