    Hi-Metal R

    borgified replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    I have a copy of the HMR VF-2ss on the way from Manda, while the Trident stages are sold out (except for the blue base version that is on discount on AmiAmi); I was thinking about using the Bandai Action Base 4/5 Clear (as I have the Tamashii Stage Act 5 attachments). Are there any objections in using this format? Looks like the HMR VE-1 is getting snapped up quickly these days.. Hopefully that there's more for the rest of us that wants one copy after missing the pre-order deadline.

    Given that the Ba variant of the 262 will be used more in conjunction with the Keith's, will the Elvis version be like the 171EX Maruyama (with the Lil' Drakens packed box) as an TWE and the Ba variant as the cannon fodder? Still aiming to get Keith's version with the Lil'Drakens add-ons regardless (if I don't jump the gun and pre-order an 1:6 scale figure or SOC Chogokin Dragon Caesar first and break the back at the same time)..

    Well... The first NCC-1701 was a bit bland as the franchise got started in the '60s as the special effects was no way near to the standards of now. The Constitution class Enterprise was the forerunner for the other ships in the Star Fleet lineup.

    Since Delta Platoon has gotten hand of two stray Lil'Drakens (possibly that Reina has reprogrammed them) for Messer's use on his 31F valk in the trailers, I'm sure that Reina has also reprogrammed the Draken that they acquired for Mirage's use. I'm sure that a beacon is used so that Mirage doesn't get shot down by friendly fire upon battle. Note: Don't forget that the flight program/codes from Messer's 31F was uploaded into Hayate's 31J Kei during the latter parts of the series.

    Hmm.. The Eaglemoss Shenzhou caught me eye (and no I have not seen any of the Discovery episodes even if I wanted to). Just a thought: I wonder if the Borg Collective will make a re-appearance in this series as TNG, Voyager and Enterprise had them in various episodes (more in TNG and Voyager). Did the writers/directors in Star Trek purposely name the ship after a place in China of the said name? As for the Quantum Slipstream warp drive as @Loliconmentioned, make sure that don't you kill yourself in the process when warping into subspace folds.. Edit: Added more detail from original post.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    And now you're on the waiting list as for 3pm Pacific Standard Time.. NY has a good clearance sale on something that I wanted to get (not Macross related), however I don't really want to see them pull another stunt on me in regards their S+H crap..

    @spanner: The Voyager episode titled: "Hope and Fear" with USS Dauntless had a slipstream warp drive capability maybe of use to you. So in short, Captain Ezri Dax (from her humble beginnings from DS9) as has the first Federation ship that has a Quantum slipstream warp drive capability. When I hear Quantum Slipstream drive, my mind goes back to the old T.V. show: Quantum Leap in where Scott Bakula had to go back in history and correct historical errors in the timeline (this way before he was cast as Captain Archer for the Enterprise NX-01 series).

    Hi-Metal R

    borgified replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Is Bandai making up for the tiny Macross kites so they have to make a large one for the Elintseeker so that the Meltron/Zeltron forces can shoot them down first? I admit that the battroid mode looks weird on the VE-1, however the gerwalk version makes it more interesting. Waiting for the VF-2ss to be delivered from Manda so I can fiddle with it upon arrival (shipped via SAL last week).

    @orindlt: Correction there. It's not Samurai Maul that you quoted, its Sohei (Monk) Maul. Honestly, Maul looks like an Oni as pictured. Got this Thursday morning from Jungle (used) and aiming for the 171EX. Debating if I want to per-order the SOC Dragon Caesar or not (I have a soft spot for kaiju(s) all thanks to the Gojra franchise). Edit: Corrected and clarified.

    Hi-Metal R

    borgified replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    @Gundam@EFSF: Your pics of the Elintseeker is also distorted in my phone as well (like Stretch Armstrong when you pull him upwards and downwards at the same time), however when you put it on landscape mode, it looks normal (I'm using a Samsung Galaxy J3 and I take it that other members use the iPhone, LG, Nexus, One plus, et all). This looks like an interesting puzzle to solve.. Edit: I get portrait and landscape mixed up. Two different terms, like regular or legal sized paper..

    Hmm.. If the VF-1J with the GBP gets made, count me in.

    I don't even have any DB Figuarts in my collection (mostly Kamen Riders), however I may actually get this. That's an interesting colour for Sheryl Nome, I wonder why that they didn't use either the Red or Blue as per the Megahouse version.

    borgified replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    You guys are total enablers!! Just ordered the last Hi-Metal R VF-2SS from Manda (after much debate), passed the VF-1J with the GBP as I need to re-coupe my funds for the Elintseeker that I want to get. Arriving in two weeks time when I get confirmation when its has been shipped.

    borgified replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Sweet.. Tenjin artwork on the product boxes arrives again. Hmm.. Makes me want to pick up the VF-1J with the GBP in addition. * Note: I somehow got GBP and GPB mixed up..

    As Kup says from the '86 animated movie in regards to Hot Rod: "A Turbo Revvin young punk".

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Was going to reply back, got ninja by @no3Ljmwhile writing. It's all fun though. I'm also in the same boat as @jenius if there will be any updates in regards to Chuck or Arad later on.
  17. borgified
    D'oh! That's what happens when you work the late night shift and reading/replying on the forums with the wrong info.. Where's the head bashing in the wall emoji when I needed it?
  18. borgified
    Hopefully that "Helen" can help you out in regards to the issue and not be like the others on the Trustpilot review thread.
  19. borgified
    I can answer those questions as well @no3Ljm, I'm also on the TFW2005 boards as well (Macross fix here, TFs on the other). Note: This is what I read and understand so far - Zeta is reformat of Toyworld, due to the fact that some of the former employees of Toyworld (from the Design department) left due to the fact that the molds of Coolsville and (the upcoming?) Bruticus was used by Toyworld and didn't pay them for the rights. These employees found out and decided to leave, took the molds of Coolsville and Bruticus with them, formed their own company (now named Zeta). Zeta is doing another run of Coolsville (with tweeks from the former mold) later on under the brand Zeta-EX (?), ETA unsure. Leia is their take on a MP version of Arcee and scales in-line with FT's Kup and MP-09 (I think that pics with Leia and Hot Rod might be in the MP-28 thread). Pic taken directly from the boards on page 59, post #1180 by member GR1ML0CK (I think that he replaced the head with the Wei Jang one). Daimchoc has posted a vid of the Metallic version of her (post #1086)

    @fenrir72and @sh9000: That would be be Toyworld's take on JAZZ (Coolsville ) and Arcee (Leia). @slide: That is correct. It the NCC-1701C concept (originally designed by Dave Probert) and was posted a few pages back. For further clarity: Still paint flaws on this one as well. Edit: You think that Eaglemoss would do a better work in detailing?? Nope.. Looks like most of their customer base got the short end of the stick. Just read the rants on the boards about their CS when you have time.

    Or better yet, stick with the Playmates' version of the Defiant instead.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Sigh... Well at least he has a part in Delta Platoon nevertheless and he has a restaurant to feed the squadron when they're hungry.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I have a feeling that the speaker pod will be an add-on for the VF-31s when it gets made. Is it only Arad's valk that uses the speaker pod in Episode #6; as it's been a while since I've seen the series.

    Seeing the messed up on paint scheme on ZorClone's XL Voyager makes me wonder if it's just his copy only or is also noted on others that have the XL Voyager as well (I haven't done a further investigation on it yet)? Still want to get the DS9 Defiant, however I will have to see if Eaglemoss can improve on the finer details on the XL lineup..

    @Lolicon and @dimension eater: Sorry it's not your dream girl Miku Miku this time. Did some digging and got this instead: https://www.volks.co.jp/page_ex.jsp?CONTROLID=SC0040&BUSINESSID=InitDisp&jancd=4518992413532&version=en Willing to shell out roughly $700 (and possibly more for S+H to be delivered where you are), or you rather use the $$$ to make a down payment for additional valks for your ever growing Macross collection?
