A wise man once said: "Anything more than a handful and you risk a sprained tongue."

So we need a windowed box Destroid release to balance things out?

The latest HI-METAL R announcement was the " HI-METAL R - Soltic H8RF Roundfacer Korchima Special - Limited Edition." It was a TWE that went on pre-order on April 1st and has a release date of July 2019. https://tamashii.jp/item/12853/?wovn=en It could be May or June before they announce the next HI-METAL R release.

With my limited understanding of photography: understanding lighting and composition gets you further than good equipment. Saburo is " Super Dimensional Enabler" for a reason. He make everything look good to the detriment of out wallets.

You potentially need to have six! That is assuming they produce a Tread; which seems likely if this sells well. It seems to me that anytime T-Rex is involved in development, retail prices will be near $300 American. They need to get paid too.

We should probably rephrase the original statement. For starters, Kakizaki had the same initial "A" rating as Max in SDFM. He got taken out by bad luck in SDFM. As far as DYRL, we should say that "You needed someone like Milia to take out Kakizaki."

If you are planning to LED light the blast, then opaque is probably not a bad thing. If you use a clear or transparent yellow filament and use a yellow LED, it may work in your favor.

I finally received my VF-4. I have a scratch in the black area of the nose cone right in front of the cockpit. The yellow plastic shows through. Otherwise, no other issues. I did have a scary moment when I was transforming it for the first time. While I was disconnecting the legs from the body, I somehow applied too much pressure on the trap door of the little fin and it popped into the cavity. I found no easy way to get the door back out. I tried to push the roll pin out with a paperclip as I had no punch nor a way to hold everything steady enough to tap it out. I ended up bending the paperclip into a hook and yanked the door back out. There are very faint stress marks on the plastic near the area where the fin snaps in now. I'm hoping it fades with time.

My VF-4 has spent more time at customs than it had traveling from Japan. It arrived in state on the 27th of March. It passed through customs on the 28th. It's been showing "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" for 8 days now.

I caution buffing clear plastic with toothpaste. Unless you know for a fact that the grit on it is really, really fine. Using toothpaste you run the risk of turning your clear plastic into opaque plastic from all the scratches you could create from the toothpaste grit. Use NOVUS Plastic Polish or something similar. I had to repair a plastic motorcycle helmet visor for a coworker that my other coworker screwed up using toothpaste to polish out a few scratches.. As far as hydrogen peroxide, read the forum topic that F360 linked. The hair paste seems to work best, but you can easily go too far with it or end up with a patchy result. Research, research, research!

My guess is that is is more a popularity issue. There is demand, but no where near what the Macross line gets. Not a lot of sequels to keep the popularity up. This gives me hope that we might see TWE blue Phalanxs. I did watch the 1st episode of Dougram. I'm not sure if I'll continue with it.

HI-METAL R - Soltic H8RF Roundfacer Korchima Special - Limited Edition up for pre-order if anyone is interested! 12280 yen. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27471-hi-metal-r-soltic-h8rf-roundfacer-korchima-special-limited-edition.html

Fansub groups Central Anime and Live-eviL have released subtitled version of DYRL and Flashback. I do not know if they have made their sub files available in a non-video format. I'm not sure if I can mention anything more on that topic.

And army building!

So long as you have extras! No problem!

Enjoy your HMR however you like! There is no wrong way to enjoy HMR!

You may want to check the "For Sale & Trade" section of the forum to see if anyone is selling one first. Make sure you do your research on the seller just in case.

That's what we want to know... Why dosen't it say that on the tail? Why is it SDF-018. Hanger number maybe? Why is his plane number 101 for that matter? My order shipped from CDJapan yesterday (SAL).

Following political tradition, I blame those involved with the "Habanero" incident for this!

Large box for cat cosplay perhaps?

I totally agree! It's like coming home to find this waiting for you in your bedroom and (assuming your are single) setting her aside being happy just knowing that she is there. She needs inspection to make sure nothing is wrong/damaged/broken (and she really wants to be there) and then handle gently and make sure you don't break her. Then lots of hugs, snuggling, etc.

That's not so bad. I spent: $938.33 for round trip tickets $390.86 for 7 nights in a Hotel in Tokyo $518.70 for 7 nights in Kyoto and 12000 yen at the Mandarake Complex for: That's like $1950.00 for a 1/55 Brownie! Not to mention the other $1000.00 I spent on food and gifts.

My personal thoughts on this is "No!" The reason being is that I rather Kawamori create a sequel because he felt inspired to do so rather than pressured to. I'd rather wait for something good than have something mediocre now.

Part of me wants Arcadia to produce a 1:3000 scale Flash Back Megaroad 01. But I'm not sure if I would buy it as it would be around 24 inches long and would probably be way more than I would want to pay.

I'm starting to wonder how you are going to safely move you collection after you graduate and land a job. More so if that job is nowhere near your current location.
