Eaglemoss?

Hopefully it is an unrelated issue, but the current VF-31AX QC issues are giving me some concern about this. It is a simpler transformation so hopefully everything sets together properly.

Welcome to Macross World! Most of the active members here are open to discussion, but you may want to consider that while the vast majority of members started out as Robotech fans, the majority are no longer for many many reasons. While there are members the still purchase Robotech goods, I would wager that the majority do not or will not. A lot of it has to do with how HG treated the original Macross IP over the years.

It certainly seems that way. Makes you wonder if they operate purchasing bots on pre-order night.
-
So the "stealth" part happens because you end up leading the target far too much because it looks like it is going way faster than it is and thus end up missing?
-
True, but the the designers knew that black was not the best color for night operations. The Have Blue prototype was painted the way it was for a reason. It just doesn't have the same psychological effect.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the association with the color black and stealth was caused by the Americans. I recall hearing back in the early 1990s that planes like the F117 and B2 were mandated to be black in color by Congress by way of budget approvals and the like. So in the following years, everytime hear about stealth planes and the like, we always see black painted vehicles associated with it.

It is always a treat for me to see everyone's in-progress builds and project completions. Those prints cale out really nice for that scale. I can't imagine the patience needed to paint things that tiny and at the numbers I imagine you are going to want.

I don't think it has been brought up, but I really do hope that they are using the waist/torso locking system from the Defender. That or an improved version.

dx vf-1j - 2nd batch? (listing states limited 1st release)
DewPoint replied to orbitalharvest's topic in Toys
There was a 5 post minimum requirement to access the For Sale section. I'm not sure if it is still active bysince the latest updates to the site. As you currently have only 3 post, you may not be able to access the For Sale section yet. -
That or the cat did it before you got home.

Isn't that USPS admitting that they destroyed the package and is basically green lighting you to file any kind of insurance claim on the shipment?
-
You mean other than life sized paper craft Minmay, Frejya and Sheryl?
-
Now that I see that picture again, I really think that something that size should have spring loaded missiles and projectiles. Because why not?
-
Well, I ordered one from AmiAmi. It was about what I paid for the HMR Focker VF-4 that I never got from Nippon-Yasan. I'll probably sticker this one up. Its kind of neked as it is. I may get a premium one if they ever offer one and turn this one into the cubicle toy.
-
No kidding!
-
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I initially wanted one years ago. I got into this post Yamato. I'm pretty committed to the HMR line. So I guess I'll wait and see.
-
Based on past releases, I would guess that a HMR VF-0S would be at least 12,000 yen each. The way the economy is going recently, it could be 15,000 yen or more.

We are approaching dangerous topics! What is taught in schools is determined by Governments, School Boards, etc. depending on where you live and in what Country. So depending on the area, you get taught what they want you to learn right or wrong. If they are heavily faith based, that's what you get. If your area is of predominantly European ancestry, that's what you learn. Then there's the fact that most people just aren't interested in all that technical stuff. "I don't want to read the manual, just tell me the answer." And there is also the fact that people tend to believe whatever best fits their personal bias and disregards everything else. As far as Japan, I'll refer to sketchley as he lives in Japan per his profile. I keep tabs on Japan by NHK World News and I don't watch it daily.

11,125 new cases reported today. Trending down. I guess we all wait and see.

Japan was "late" in starting their vaccine program. Many residents do not even have their 2nd dose yet. Hospital capacity also seems low. Not sure how much hospital per capita they have there.

I find myself asking "Why are my eyes drawn towards her legs so much?"

So Department of Temporal Investigations where? Then again, that could make things worse.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
DewPoint replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I remember watching Aria. They talk about the wonders of the planet, meet some people, have a little adventure, and 24 minutes of your life mysteriously disappears. I had to stop at Aria the Natural. I'm still watching Fairy Tail. I'm on season 5! And I'm still watching it for Erza. Mostly. Good enough to fill in the time between other shows.
