    How much will he run?

    Does it match the DX DYRL Kakizaki green? I'd love to find a 1J head and give it a green stripe for a custom swap at some point.
  3. Radioguy
    No kidding? 😉

    Has Massassi designed functional in-scale repair bays too? Since seeing the Revell versions of the IMAI kits when I was a kid, I wondered what they'd be like motorized too (crawler, turntable, inspection lifts, gate doors, etc.). Be nice if CW mass-produced those too...

    Be interesting if they go so far with G1 Missing Links to get to Megatron, as it would be difficult to justify a non-Walther alt-mode going by the criteria so far, or if they went with a (originally) non-Takara mold like G1 Shockwave. I'd def go for Missing Links on both of those.

    She has that "Calgon take me away" away look, except it's Megatron.
  7. Radioguy
    Yeah, this and the XTB Cosmos were the two 3P figures I HAD to own when I started getting into 3P. Not sure anything tops those.
  8. Radioguy
    If they go and do Shockwave, and top the Knight Morpher 3P version...ok, I just had to take a pill and sit down.

    Well, KO's of Arcadia VF-1 valks. I think they are still on eBay, and some third-party retailer sites. They are sold under the Valkyrie Factory "brand". More recently, there's another "brand" called FuGu that solicited a VF-1S (presumably from the same Arcadia KO mold) in Jetfire colors to compete with KitzConcept's "God of Flame" VF-1S that tries to attempt the same color scheme. That's garnered some added attention lately.

    My mind went elsewhere.
  11. Radioguy
    If we had both seen it, it might have been thunderdome time. Despite the pitfalls, I love me some transparent variants.
  12. Radioguy
    Yeah, I only cited the KOs as existing and being a potential threat, but an Arcadia 1/60 is a must have. I'm glad to own a couple.
  13. Radioguy
    I'd seen them fluctuate, but what was the lowest ever HLJ price? PF Max and Mirya with super parts are still listed there, but nowhere near this Max/Roy price right now. One might wonder if that price difference is what the PF cost is, but that's difficult to accept.
  14. Radioguy
    To think I had considered the metallic 1A pair with Mirya. I'd be pulling my hair out right now (not that there's much left after dealing other stresses in life). 🤪
  15. Radioguy
    Not doing PF on these either after the SDF news has me dumbfounded. I mean, Arcadia quality is the best at 1/60 scale, but if you don't even want people to think of considering Valkyrie Factory KOs as cheap alternatives, why not go back to the PF versions that they won't do to seal the deal? Are the added tampos really that cost-prohibitive?
  16. Radioguy
    Knew it.

    Bastards. Seriously. Not for making a mistake (if it even was), but taking DAYS to revert it. Opportunities were lost for some (Like LP jacking up their price since initial offer) believing they wouldn't be dealing with international shipping...or shipping at ALL stateside. I know many of you aren't upset due to the price and the looks of this thing, but imagine Bandai doing the same with a DX TV Max, Elint, CF, etc. Think it was a mistake, or that HG complained? Sucks either way, of course.
  18. Radioguy
    Indeed...or strike parts...or missiles.
  19. Radioguy
    Was this one still sealed?
  20. Radioguy
    I like it. I think it will be fun in hand. Having said that, while we have a gun here, I don't like that we don't see missiles in fighter mode. That gives me Angel Bird vibes, and I want missiles. Hell, I want strike parts!
  21. Radioguy
    I'm just gonna say the obvious here. The problem, other than having to build and paint the thing, is durability. Kits are made to look pretty and not be played with, and that's not conducive to a transformable model no matter what the tolerances are (and looking at the gaps in those, they are made with room to spare to save paint stripping off). DX and Arcadia may not be all we want or can be realized, but we can actually transform the damned things more than a few times without (usually) having to touch them up again. Having said all that, I'd love to have a 1:48 VF-1J in a Robotech Axoid paint scheme, and that ain't happening anytime soon unless someone paints one up (ain't gonna be me with my Carpal Tunnel). 😉

    They always cover themselves with "Japan Version", so it's not as easy to accuse them of gouging here...well, not to Americans. It's the Japanese version!!!!
  23. Radioguy
    Said it elsewhere, so probably should here: If anyone needs someone to try and pick up a copy for them at Tamashii NYC, I would try. I just don't know if purchase limits will be imposed for this like they were at the Tamashii popup at Grand Central for the Max VF-0S.
  24. Radioguy
    The price is high, but aside from the positive playable aspects of owning him, I'd actually like this to succeed; especially if the USA availability is as it seems.
  25. Radioguy
    Yeah, that occurred to me as well. Still, I'd own this.
