    I can't wait to have nowhere to put that gigantic box.

    Honestly, that's a pretty good price for a shipped 31a right now.

    I have to ask: Out of morbid curiosity, how much did that set you back?

    NY's got Nexx up for sale, but they bumped the price to ¥13,500. Based on Sylvie's VF-2, I'd advise against buying any at that price, NY will lower it eventually.

    Something I've thought about, but wasn't on my list. If anyone knows of a guide to disassemble the pod safely, I could work on a replacement for just the charger half. Replacing the side holding the gun is a bit more involved, and high-tolerance, than I was planning to get into. I did make a little clip you can use to mount the gun on a wing hardpoint, when using the missile pod.

    Nothing wrong with taking design inspiration from related series. Heck, the person who did the design may have worked on MII or FB2012.

    B-29 was the stratofortress. Enola Gay dropped a bomb on Hiroshima, then Bock's Car dropped another one on Nagasaki. I think he was asking where you got that model of a B-24, and I'm interested as well.

    Frankly, I'd buy YF-21s from both companies. Bandai would have all the tampo and good poseability, but Arcadia would probably look closer to the anime appearance. I know I've been on the lookout to pick up another Arcadia YF-19 or two.

    Probably not a valkyrie at all?
  10. Sanity is Optional
    No kidding, had to try 4 different proxy services to get 2 ordered.

    Wow, nice work on that, can't wait to see it (and order a couple). On my front, got some good news, my Movie VF-31f finally made it to US shores, so I can take a look at the Drakken clips in a week or two at most. Bad news is I'm now sharing the work laptop I've been using to make CAD models.

    I'll see if I manage to snag one through DeJapan or not. It would be my second Metal Build, after the Aile Strike (does a GFFMC Wing Zero count?).
  13. Sanity is Optional
    Because Bandai is smart enough to not sabotage their own sales. Imagine how much the VF-2SS would have shelf-warmed if people had known there would be a second one?
  14. Sanity is Optional
    Knowing Bandai you'll have to open the hips up and loosen them so you don't break it out of the box

    They probably suffer from being less prominent in DYRL than the TV series.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    I'm not sure I can really blame them when all the Destroids shelf-warmed, as did the Glaug. Pretty much the only non-valkyrie that sold well was the Regult.
  17. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, if someone makes up a CAD model of the clips, or a close approximation, they could be 3D printed up pretty easily.

    All we know are these facts: Bandai said they allowed orders on their website to be open too long Most grey-market sellers (everyone aside from NY) had fewer than anticipated available, some cancelled orders, and My Konbini cancelled all the orders, and then sold their stock at a markup... Somehow NY is still managing to get their hands on stock, even now. Nobody knows how, but they don't have brown Tamashii shipper boxes. Did I miss anything?
  19. Sanity is Optional
    Well, if those other schemes are confirmed, I'll probably let my second pre-order go. Going to wait for confirmation though.

    It looks like these are sort-of what we're getting as the 'Max" and "Milia" VF-4 paint schemes. The prototypes had white striping, while the Max & Milia VF-4 from that book didn't. They don't have the white belly though.
  21. Sanity is Optional
    So, those Max/Milia schemes, the official ones don't have the white striping on the wing, correct? One example of Bandai adding extra markings I'm totally on-board with. Also, one more Fokker for the display.
  22. Sanity is Optional
    No super packs announced. There was a full-color prototype of the armored pack for Arad, and we saw a painted prototype for Chuck's radome-equipped VF-31 as well.
  23. Sanity is Optional
    They both come with the clips, says so on the Tamashii web pages for them.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    Distill web monitor. You can have it check websites based on a time increment (from 1sec to days) and alert you in various ways when it sees a change (including sending email).

    Bandai: Popular alternate scheme from an official book? NO! Random scheme shown for 5 seconds in a movie? YES!
