  1. Well, it's been announced, just waiting on the release date and pre-orders.
  2. I assume you mean a 1/72 model kit? Yeah, that and a 1/72 VF-31A would be great for kitbashing.
  3. P-Bandai MG F91 Harrison Version: https://www.taghobby.com/archives/382479
  4. The big difference, honestly, would have been production volumes that take into account overseas sales volumes.
  5. Mine had that exact problem. Anymore I'm opening and inspecting every HMR figure I get.
  6. Slight correction: Arcadia doesn't have much choice but to sell the same thing with an increased price. Manufacturing is more expensive now than it used to be. Also I'm pretty sure their production volumes are lower than Yamato, which makes the cost to produce go up as well.
  7. Looks like mine will show Mon or Tues. Unfortunately there's no easy locked location nearby for DHL so had to have it shipped to work so I could sign for it.
  8. Well, Bandai did VF-1, VF-2, VF-4. Maybe up next will be 9 or (more likely) 11? A modern VF-17 would also be nice.
  9. I meant the animators were cheap.
  10. I'm still ticked they were too cheap to actually give the 31A a weapons pod that didn't have a drone charger...for the drones it's not equipped with.
  11. No idea how yours came out decently, mine absolutely 100% cannot stand up straight when the shield is attached, the waist connections aren't stiff enough to handle the weight. All I can do is let it sag to the side and either front or back. I haven't had too much issue with things falling off, but then I hardly touch it because the ability to pose is so limited (both by design and weak joints).
  12. They should last quite a while. However there's some caveats: Do not cut parts directly from the runner if you can avoid it, especially thick gates. Do not use them on hard transparent plastic (the flexible transparent stuff is fine). Also make sure you don't mess with the set-screw, it's there to keep the blade from striking the other half too hard and dulling quickly. Undergates were decent, not great though. The kit as a whole sucked, the frame can't handle the weight, and in a few places it's quite fragile.
  13. Instructions unclear: backlog of 130 kits. The only exception is P-Bandai kits. Which typically get only one production run (some get reruns), and also *may* increase in cost after production. P-Bandai are the only kits I buy anymore outside of sales.
  14. The movie edition comes with a Hayate pilot and the brackets to mount Lil Draken drones to the wings.
  15. Good kit, but falls apart a bit too much for my tastes. The MG RX-78 Origins is much sturdier. Coming from someone who came the opposite direction: model kits->figures
  16. Did you message him thru ebay? Take screenshots and they ought to have records of the messages.
  17. https://www.gundamkitscollection.com/2018/05/rg-29-1144-msn-04-sazabi-sample-images.html The sample images look like most of the armor has minimized/hidden gates.
  18. Ha, I was debating it, but I've already got 2 sets, and only 4 VF-1s present/on-order.
  19. There was also an opened Missile set for ¥5500, but it seems someone grabbed it already.
  20. I think it's partially that the air combat aspect after world war II becomes much less interesting to show on screen. Korea had Mig-15s vs Sabres, but by the time Vietnam came around it was all about guided missiles.
  21. Q-Rau? In green: yes. In Red? Will probably end up like the Glaug. N-Ger? Yes, probably.
  22. Hi-Resolution God Gundam? That came out of left field. Are we going to get a HiRM Nobel Gundam? Tequilla Gundam? Nether Gundam?
  23. Whoops, need to update my shipping address for those.
