The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
Axelay replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Agreed 100%. I still absolutely adore that Scourge. Its alt mode is just so elegant. -
I just slightly cackled upon seeing the mockup of the Spartan Laser. I would be tickled if that actually got used at some point.
-
Outstanding. I continue to be more and more excited about finally getting this Valkyrie.
-
Check out these frames from Dynamite 7. I get that the in-action art doesn't always match the lineart, but we can clearly see here that the head laser doesn't extend into the booster. (But, uh... y'know what? I don't even care. In this case, I'm still just so utterly thrilled that a Star Mirage is on the way that I'm willing to let it ride. Who knows? Maybe Arcadia will see this and fix it before release?)

The 1/18 Scale Super Thread! Gi Joes, Bbi,et Al
Axelay replied to Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That is absolutely gorgeous. I would love to have an AH-1Z like that. -
I know that feeling of joy.
-
Still wildly excited about this. Up until now, I never noticed before that the head laser tucks up into the booster while in fighter mode. Such a curious design choice by Kawamori.

Eaglemoss Star Trek Starship, BSG & other starships Collection
Axelay replied to Sandman's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I got the first release, but this new one... very tempting. I wish it was XL scale, though. -
Having not read anything in the comics since I was about, oh, I dunno, 8 or so, I was curious to learn more about Krrsantan since someone told me that he's a significant character there. I'm really hoping that there was some reasonable explanation as to why he didn't just kill a completely defenseless bacta tank-napping Boba. I don't mean incompetence is a reasonable explanation, nor would I consider Wookiee "honor" anything other than a cop-out explanation. (He's a Wookiee, not a Klingon.) I mean, if the Hutts really hired Krrsantan to kill Boba... well, what were the conditions/terms (e.g. proof of the kill)? And why didn't he just shoot Boba right in the tank? Or did the Hutts maybe want him alive for some unknown reason? I feel like I'm missing something here. I did only get to watch the episode once and my kids were doing their best to divert my attention...
-
Preordered one via BBTS! Very exciting times.
-
Could someone please clear something up for me? I haven't read the book in about 4 years, but I'm struggling to remember if something on-screen happened in the book or if it was just a scene invented for screen. Did the Reverend Mother Helen Gaius Mohaim actually meet face-to-face with Baron Harkonnen and instruct him to not kill Paul and Jessica...? I could swear that this never happened, what with their... peculiar... relationship with each other. Maybe my addled brain has just forgotten.
-
Wholeheartedly seconded.
-
Huh. What's your asking price for a recast of this? Because of the stiffness with how it broke, I have very little confidence that a super glue job would suit this if I ever attempt to open/close the gear doors again. Let me know.
-
You betcha. Snapped clean off. I have felt like this particular Valkyrie has required a bit more force to transform than I usually apply. Some of the joints were VERY tight - especially the chestplate separation into battroid mode. It's pretty unlikely I can repair this landing gear door since it's supposed to be a moving part. There's a big part of me which just feels like I have learned a lesson and will wait to see if Bandai will do a proper DX VF-1J Max.
-
I gave in and bought a KO Max super VF-1J. Although I have never had any of my official Valkyries do this, one of the landing gear doors broke on my KO... Not sure it can be easily fixed.
-
I continue to pray (and even plead) for news on EZY... I needs mah Patlabor fix.
-
Pardon me for not being aware if the answer has already been stated, but is there any word on whether a Super VF-1J in Max colors will be forthcoming this year?
-
Still needing a leg... I'd gladly negotiate a price or a trade for it. Someone please help me fix my Valkyrie?
-
So... any word on a premiere date for EZY?
-
Oh? And what could I offer you for a replacement leg? Please let me know?
-
Yeah, but I actually really want to keep this one since I previously only had the Yamato Nora version. And the deal I got on this was pretty unbelievable, so it's kind of special to me now.
-
Thus far, I don't think that they are willing to help.
-
Still in need of a replacement leg... I reached out to the original owner and he indicated that he bought it from HLJ, but he's not able to provide a receipt. (Makes sense, as you wouldn't just give some stranger your payment info. I don't begrudge him that.) When I contacted HLJ previously, they were unwilling to help unless I had purchased the unit from them. Anybody know if HLJ records serials of units sold so that it could be verified in that manner? I'm really grasping at straws here.
-
May check there next, if that's the case. The listing did indicate that the seller "thought" that the legs were correct, but they definitely are not. I can see why someone might not know, and for only $150, it's absolutely not worth my making a claim and sending it back.
