    If you just look at Gerwalk and Fighter mode, it's actually pretty close to VTOL aircraft we have now. Or the theoretical helicopters with fixed-rotor high-speed modes. A valkyrie, aside from the robot form, is just a vehicle that can swap between high-speed fighter and a helicopter with a turreted gun.

    D could be Demo, could also be prototype revision D (as in Ver A, Ver B, Ver C, Ver D). Depends how Bandai handles things internally.

    Well, you can also charge it with X-rays, but those are even worse for causing browning. Plus the health issues. FYI, you can charge it up with normal visible light. I use UV free LEDs.

    Still waiting on my promo code, and I shipped some stuff out on Wed.

    Everyone and everything has been having quality issues due to supply chain/COVID issues.

    In space, nobody wears pants.

    From my perspective, when you compare the RG Zeta (transforming mobile suit) or RG Unicorn (more limited transformation) the 1/72 VF-31 and SV-262 come off pretty well. Comparing them to the MG transforming suits, honestly I wish the MG kits took some cues, like having metal rods for hinges as necessary.

    Torque requirements get larger with the length of the moved object, not to mention going too fast and you run into issues with rotational inertia effects. You're not just torquing whatever's moving, but also everything holding the rest of the assembly still. I've used some pretty high-torque motors before to shift unbalanced loads in rotation, and it's really tricky to get everything dialed in to where it doesn't shake itself to pieces in the process.

    Anything before Zero and Frontier, when they started using actual 3D CAD models for everything, was pretty heavy on the anime magic. This is just normal for Bandai, take a look at their Metal Build figures, or RG/MG/PG gundam kits and compare them to the screen versions.

    Mine showed up last week, no strap. Pretty sure it's just a nice touch, not a missing accessory. My box was a bit dinged up as well, think it's just due to a large box with soft insides.

    Is this just a repop, or is there some new decals or paint or accessories?

    Take a picture, from below and the side, and we might be able to give you better suggestions. It probably isn’t properly seated into the stand adapter, or something similar.

    Even if they say you should have had insurance, that doesn't mean they're not liable. Insurance in this case would just be paying for the lawyers to extract the money out of them for their liability. Good luck, hopefully you can get at least something from either the above tenant's insurance or the management company. It won't repair/replace the work you did, but it would at least let help pay for a new project.

    Can anyone scale the battroid and gerwalk figures and do an overlay? Not sure if those look to be the same legs, hard to tell with the scale being different.

    If it does release, almost certainly going to be a web exclusive, just like the missile regults.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    Still closed on my scree, odd.
  17. Sanity is Optional
    Closed now.

    I'm going to guess it won't be more than partially transforming at 1/100 scale. Their transforming kits are all 1/72, and squeezing the transformation of a YF-19 into 1/100 in a model kit is going to be difficult. Might be doing it the same way as Tomytek multi-mode kits, or the semi-transforming Aochima VFG line?

    Apparently it does for AmiAmi, but the rest all hit today.

    Well, guess I'm paying the slacker price.

    If Luna Park wasn't showing the same warning signs as NY, I might order from them.

    If you're really careful, and have the right tools, might be able to trim the second jaw so it doesn't protrude? Would probably still be ruined for cuts near the end of the blade though. The thin single-blade cutters are very fragile if not used carefully (or even if used on harder plastic).

    Told Tenso to ship out my gunpod. Not horrible? Under $80 in shipping and Tenso fees.

    Only just spotted this the other day when USAGundam put it up for sale. After how good a job CCS did on the Gurren Lagann, I'm down.

    This will at least have tighter joints than the Yamato version. I have one of the Yamato PF ones, and the waist pivot specifically has zero hold.
