  1. I doubt it, box is smaller than the Arcadia VF-4G, and that's only showing ¥5,300 ($42) to ship to the US via FedEx.
  2. $105 (after converting to USD) from other places, and $170 from BBTS. Overall still probably cheaper to buy from a Japanese store.
  3. So long as there’s no requirement to change it every x months, I’m all good. Password managers ftw.
  4. The 29? Yes the joints were improved in several places as I recall.

  6. Damn, used my 10% coupon too early. Oh well, guess I'll order from AmiAmi or Amazon Japan instead.
  7. Also up on: Hobby Search (12,800 JPY) https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10877816 HLJ (14,080 JPY) https://www.hlj.com/1-60-scale-macross-mbr-04-mk-vi-destroid-tomahawk-aca82160

  9. I think the initial release was just miniatures without a ruleset, and what's happening now is a boxed game with rules that includes the miniatures?
  10. There’s a thread in the sci-fi sub forum on the miniatures that’s branched out into the upcoming game kickstarter (p2).
  11. I think it's the legs, they have a very straight profile, and are a bit thinner than they ought to be compared to the torso.
  12. It's actually cardboard and (I think)wood for the frame of the joints if you look closely. Might also be plastic, but definitely something more solid than cardboard.
  13. My #1 ask for Arcadia, is actually to reduce the size of their boxes. They're so large they cost a ton to ship, and take up a lot of space for retailers. Look at the box size for an Arcadia 1/60 VF-1 compared to a Bandai 1/48 VF-1.
  14. Bandai has lower cost to produce, and retailers will sell Bandai stuff at lower margins. That's just the reality of things.
  15. Release date for the Bandai YF-19 was September 2018, it's been over 3 years. Also the Bandai had a MSRP of 27,000yen (according to Anymoon, or 27,500 on hobby search). The Arcadia isn't as expensive in comparison due to the Bandai release being a "full set" with all the extra stuff included.
  16. TBH, that's probably at least one reason they're not. Competing directly against Bandai on a YF-21 release, at current Arcadia prices, would be suicide.
  17. Just realized, Max was actually the first VF-1 I got. The HMR Max.
  18. I already have a Yamato one, so unless there's some improvements I'll probably pass. I hope at the very least they tighten up the waist bend, that's super loose on the old one.
  19. So far it's just one more in a long line of HMR prototypes shown. It may not even get produced (see: Tomahawk, Scout Regult, N-ger, Phalanx, VF-1EX).
  20. Does that look like a matte finish to anyone else?
  21. Not really a shelf warmer, since the initial release sold out, more of something they actually produced enough of to meet demand.
  22. Nothing wrong with an old password, so long as it's secure and not re-used elsewhere.
  23. Tried to order a Roundfacer, but no dice with my Proxy, they said they weren't able to get it for me.
