    I mean, I’ll probably get one…but only because I’m a VF/YF-19 fan, not because I like Basara or the fire valk. also you don’t need to worry about it being unpopular, M7 and Basara are huge in Japan.

    Mine were very brittle, I manged to get a few together safely, but they were definitely brittle.

    Well, on the bright side at least the tariffs are only on the base cost, and not the exorbitant shipping?

    Between this and Dandadan Science Saru is doing god's work.
  5. Sanity is Optional
    I got 2 via a proxy, no muss, no fuss.

    Char clone in a mask? Just like the last few times?

    That's about normal, the sellers are paying 16,500yen plus shipping. So they're only making about 1500yen per sale.

    Sweet! Been wanting the Yamato for a while, but this will do instead!

    I’ll say I am not looking forward to the shipping charges and possible tariffs on the kickstarter. Got in my artillery pods though, and they look good. Makes me excited for the scout pod and the rest of the non-transforming figures.

    My guess is that though the SDF-1 is larger and heavier, the VF-0 is more complex. More parts, more involved assembly.

    Man, those shipping charges sting....but at least I can skip the ebay prices for the artillery pods...

    Wish the latter series were a bit easier to find. I have series 1, plus 2 sealed boxed, but couldn't find much for the rest.

    Sigh... 💸💸💸

    Well, looks like it'll get funded, if narrowly. I am totally down for some Desdroids when those open up.

    They look very similar to the metallic coated Gundam kits, which electroplated on top, for the uncolored metallic ones the coating thickness isn't too bad (colored metallic is much thicker). Will need to wait for mine to show up to see how it looks up close. I have a few kits I can compare against.

    Looking good, I'm down for one!

    Well, of the 2 I got through US sellers, at least 1 had a straight antenna. Need to actually open them to check for all the other possible issues next...
  18. Sanity is Optional
    Well, mine showed today, and the tail fin is fine, still need to check the head though. I guess between a broken VT-1 and a YF-21 bad head laser, I'll take the bent head laser. At least that can be fixed/replaced much more easily.

    If I liked Delta I'd be all over this. Now give me a Sheryl VF-25/YF-29 already!

    Sorry, as a mechanical engineer going to have to roll my eyes suuuuuuper hard at that take. CAD lets people like me put onto "paper", and into the real world exactly what is in our heads, and do it with good tolerancing, well defined curves, and straight lines/flat panels. What you see with "hand made" before was a machinist going over the molds with a file until the test parts actually fit together the way they were supposed to, or something approaching it. The tolerances were huge, the gaps were ugly, the lines are screwed up because things had to be tweaked until they fit. What you are actually complaining about is the designs themselves, not the methods people are using to make them. Also, the fact that you are lumping CAD, AI, and CGI together is frankly insulting.

    Considering the main US distro is probably coming over on pallets, rather than individual boxes, might be a bit better? Of course, that's before it gets shipped inside the US, so might be just as bad.
  22. Sanity is Optional
    Huh, I've always been careful to not touch, even after a full day of drying, due to how fragile the chrome effect is.
  23. Sanity is Optional
    Does that work well? I've used Molotow before, but never tried putting anything on top.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    Glad you're enjoying it 👍 Never even actually opened the box, just been displaying the basic version instead.
  25. Sanity is Optional
    Mine showed up at the proxy a few days back, figured I'd check YJA and see if I wanted to throw anything else in the box along with (don't tell my GF).
