    EMS/DHL will probably be around $40? You could buy the one Shizuka's selling on the For Trade/Sell forum. $280 incl shipping within the US.

    The premium finish ones were supposed to be made-to-order, rather than normal retail sale, right? Maybe HLJ just ordered too many?

    I've got one on order with CDJapan, but I'm pretty sure they're going to re-assess the shipping fee I was initially quoted. Once I know what the actual ship cost is, I'll report.

    Nippon Yasan now showing in-stock at ¥30,200 I'm not linking it, because their shipping rates are murder, and you're better off waiting for another vendor.

    Bandai HMR TV/DYRL SDF-1 figures? I'd bite on that.
  6. Sanity is Optional
    I want a VF-11 with radome.

    Oh absolutely, there was more variation in her Frontier work, Plus just happens to be more unusual, whereas a lot of the Frontier stuff was more mainstream. Both are great though.

    I'll just get one of each version, like always (for Arcadia). At least it means I can display multiple modes?

    Generally speaking, both Unicorn and Thunderbolt were well received; Unicorn starting as a Novel then adapted to both manga and anime, and Thunderbolt starting as a manga and then adapted to anime. Meanwhile G no Reconguista, by Tomino himself, was a complete mess, and the worst Gundam series I've ever watched by a good margin.

    I viewed it as though the entire story was from the antagonist's point of view. The Zeon pilot certainly seemed more like a protagonist than Mr. Jazz and murder.

    Honestly, I thought Thunderbolt did pretty well at walking the line between dark end edgy, and having characters that were fraked up in realistic ways.

    Unfortunately, the only CAD I've used are professional programs. Currently I'm using Solidworks, since my job involves a copy (and a laptop that can run it). If you're a student you can get an "educational" copy for $100, but I'd definitely try freeware first and see how you like it. If you have any experience machining, then it ought to be a very easy learning curve. If not, it really depends on how easily you can get used to the interface, and how easily you can imagine the final product as a series of features added to a base.

    What? I liked Gundam Thunderbolt.

    Actually about to start looking for a place, which makes it a bit easier. I can pick a room and set it in a corner with a fume hood or the like. Professional plastic is less flexible, but has much higher detail and better surface finish. It doesn't need the priming/filling/sanding that the WSF does. It's also more brittle, so best for external parts that are well supported, rather than internal ones that are directly involved in the transformation. There's a clip you can use to mount the gunpod onto one of the wing hardpoints, I've added it to the top post in the thread. Here's some pictures:

    Glad I skipped the first release, in retrospect. The second gives me a second set of the clips, and is cheaper.

    Between the cost, and the lead-time to get something printed and shipped for design checking, I really am tempted to just buy myself a little resin printer to test out designs. Maybe something like this:

    I would be amazed if they actually brought in Dr. Nova, but they might have Tiphares as the antagonist?
  18. Sanity is Optional
    Looking good. I wonder how much it'd break the bank to print it out in professional plastic to get all those details.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    I'm wondering what the updated prices will look like from CDJ as well. At least we don't need to worry about whether or not to do combined shipping?
  20. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, I was wondering the same. Also, I'm not enthusiastic about changing the main villain from a psychopath reborn as a cybernetic maggot to the black criminal kingpin (who was actually more helpful than harmful to Alita in the manga).
  21. Sanity is Optional
    Still need unit 02 and Arad's 01 for the -31a.
  22. Sanity is Optional
    I thought there were a few new pictures on the Tag Hobby article now that weren't in the Twitter post, guess not.
  23. Sanity is Optional
    Ought to look pretty good on the 35th Messer?
  24. Sanity is Optional
    New updates via TagHobby Shipper box is confirmed at 72cm x 57.5cm x 43cm and 11.2kg That's roughly 28.5in x 22.5in x 17in and 24.5 pounds. Contents are only 5.5kg/12lbs
  25. Sanity is Optional
    I'm in for one of those cannon pods. It's unfortunate Shapeways is jumping their prices so much. Maybe it's time to look into a personal resin printer.
