Hobby Link Japan still has Monsters for 10% off retail. https://hlj.com/hi-metal-r-hwr-00-mkii-destroid-monster-bann05211 Nippon-Yasan has the Spartan and Defender for near retail https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/19715-hi-metal-r-mbr-07-mkii-destroid-spartan.html https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/20537-hi-metal-r-adr-04-mkx-destroid-defender.html Shipping for the Monster is going to hurt just so you know.

I can't see real-time chat working here. MW members are global. It could make a lot of people feel left out of the conversations. Not to mention that a lot of the most active members seem to be in their 30s or 40s. Their kids would need to teach them and provide tech support for something this modern.

It is almost the end of the year. I wonder if this is really going to happen.

Arcadia Premium Finish Max and Miria 1/60 Super VF-1J
DewPoint replied to davidwhangchoi's topic in Toys
My theory is that the crazy old guy that glued the wings together at the factory, in the Yamato years, retired. The new guy is failing at it. -
The VF-4 in FlashBack 2012 never transformed. I believe there was no transformation of a VF-4 until one of the video games. I honestly don't remember which one. Finally, based on PO madness, this turned out to be surprisingly popular. Then again, the VF-2 turned out to be very popular as well.
-
This would lead me to think that they made molds off of existing Yamato/Arcadia releases rather than the "same factory" or "reject" theories. Copies of existing factory molds possibly?

CDJapan sold out!

Looks like Nippon-Yasan will be posting late tonight. You can always wait and take your chances there if you still didn't get one.
-
1 left at CDJapan. If it's not broken.

Got 1 at CDJapan. Burned all my points!
-
If it doesn't transform, why are the ARMDs in that position? Makes you wonder.

I do not own any Action Bases, however, based on what I've seen, you should be able to . Hi-Metal R toys would use the small peg. As a FYI, you get 3 sets of stands if you purchase the Tamashii Stage ACT.5. Check your shipping rates.

The 1/55s and HCMs were available in my part of the US in the early and mid 80s. They were sold through Japanese owned retailers for somewhere between $15 and $25.
-
Save yourself $50 and then burn that on shipping?

And this leads us back to the "where are our Destroids and Zentradi mecha"? They would not cut into the profits of the 1/48 line as much as I cannot see Bandai offering us Destroids and Zentradi in 1/48 scale. But you never know.

New El-Hazard sequel crowdfunding campaign
DewPoint replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I believe that this is good example of things that should be left alone. If they produce a bad squeal, it will greatly diminish the love fans feel for that story. Seriously, when we are told "don't watch the 2nd season, it's horrible!" most people will watch it anyway and regret it. -
If you do not "unlock the part" in step 4 and go right to step 5, you can break the hinges out just as seen in the 1st post.

The backpacks on my Arcadia Roy and Hikaru folded over without issue. When I got Millia, straight out of the box, the backpack hinges were super tight. When I tried to fold it over it didn't want to go past 80 degrees. At that point the backpack looked like it wanted to separate. I could see a gap forming between the tail fin top plate and the thrusters. At that point I stopped to examine the hinge and review the instructions. My Max had a similar very stiff hinge. It doesn't seem to be that much of a problem after the initial transformation. But that first time is scary.
-
From my experience, you basically broke it. I almost broke mine as well. Arcadia stated that they tightened up a lot of the joints starting from the Millia release. You can't fold the backpack the way you see in Jenius' transformation guide anymore. The backpack seems to hook into the bottom of the back plate just beyond the hinge. Because they tightened up the joints, the rear hinge dosen't move as readily as the previous releases. So as in the Chinese video posted, you need to make sure you bend the rear hinge to unhook the backpack from the back plate before you fully bend it over or you end up blowing out the hinge just like you did.

Yup! you can do A LOT when you own Gundam and Sunrise.
