    Because it is. At least if you grew up Japanese or in Japan. For those who don't know; apparently different cultures split up colors and hues differently. There are some videos on YouTube about it if you are curious. It can get weird.

    Provided the exchange rate is still favorable for me I'm in.

    The swooshability is in question...

    I can totally see Bandai selling the VT-1 Ostrich with tent and flight suit Misa and Hikaru. Then selling a Super Pack accessory with space suit Minmay, Misa and Hikaru.

    Aren't Destroids effectively replaced by Zentradi Mecha?

    I'm pretty much in the mind of letting the site owner decide how they want to do things as we don't pay anything into the site upkeep. I also think that they have done an excellent job keeping this site out of trouble. Maybe because I'm use to it, I like things the way they are. If we let Robotech items into the Toys section, then we should let ALL toys into the toy section. As I don't really collect Gundam, Votoms, Megazone, etc., I really don't want to sort through all of that. But that's just me. This is Macross World, so you know....

    You may as well check the Yen exchange rate and see it it makes sense for you. The exchange rate has been pretty good for some of us.

    I couldn't get myself to watch Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. Maybe one day...

    I decided to give Kusuriya no Hitorigoto a go. So far so good. It gives me kinda of a Bookworm type feel without the isekai and world disrupting introducing of items.

    So I don't really know who got to see Robotech where and when. In my area I believe it was airing pretty much as soon as it was available. It had at least 3 reruns. Although I don't remember it it first aired weekdays afternoon or Saturday mornings. We had a several Japanese retailers here and we had access to both imported Japanese toys, Robotech branded toys, as well as KO toys. The Jack Mckinney books and Palladium RPG was readily available at local RPG/Miniature gaming stores. That being said, I don't know anyone here that ever purchased the comics nor have I seen them locally ever (that or I totally blacked it out of my memory). This could just be a case of how available was it in your area. We had a local station that aired Japanese shows. We grew up with Kamen Rider, Kikida, Godzilla, Ultraman, ETC.

    If Moehime is indeed in Ehime prefecture, then I would say that there is a good chance that former NY employees may be involved. I haven't been able to verify their address anywhere. I haven't been pushed to buy from them to find out. If they took control of the remaining NY stock, then they may owe some of us some items. Although I doubt any of us would be able to get what NY owed.

    The problem is that the 1/55 VF-1 set the bar so high that anything Macross is pretty much expected to meet or exceed it. For years most transforming toys only looked good in one mode and only from the top. Its hard to argue that the Zeta Gundam looked good in it's waverider mode. Gobots.... Well... You know.... Macross toys are expected to look good in pretty much every mode at any angle. High bar? Absolutely. Unreasonable? Most likely.
  17. DewPoint
    AKA also hire T-Rex to design your transforming toys?
  18. DewPoint
    Well there was the YF-19 broken head laser incident in the past... I believe it was largely due to inadequate packaging. I don't know if Bandai learned the right lessen from that though. Bendy Laser less likely to snap in the box better?

    One more episode of Mushoku Tensei. Then we all wait until April for another 12 episodes.

    While I cannot speak for BBTS, the last few orders I've made have been shipped by boat. It seems to be about 2 to 3 months. People seem to get their shipping notices before I do as there seems to be no rush on boat shipping. People have been talking about their HMR VF-0D for a month now. I don't expect to see mine for at least another month.
  22. DewPoint
    Luna Park, based on posts from members here, tries to save on shipping. The try to use as little packing materials as possible. That being said, if you care about the condition of your retail box, look elsewhere. If you have no other choice, then all you can do is hope for the best.

    You know you want one! ELDEN RING Plush Torrent(Pre-order)
  24. DewPoint
    It is a WWM release so it should be fairly easy to get. With the current exchange rate you may be better off getting it from a Japanese vendor. Its like a nice discount or free shipping. Going to pass on this one. I don't "need it". I just happened to see it when I was browsing AmiAmi and started looking around. Best of luck to everyone!
