Can someone translate this list? It's the list of the super robots that Pose+ is considering producing in the next few months/years. And it's official, not fan speculations. I think the first is Albegas while the secondo should be General Daimos?
-
I actually did consider that but unfortunately my first attempt to customize a Valkyrie this summer ended tragically. It was an old 1/48 VF-1 from yamato that completely yellowed and i decided to give it a try. It didn't turn out well. Although i have some skills as a modeler since i have been building gunpla since the 90s i feel this would be way beyond my abilities. In the end i will just probably will just save it for later or for an easy diorama.
-
Now that i was able to secure my preorder(i think first time in the history of macross toys for me) the real question is... What i am going to do with my original Alto VF-25F? it's a bit yellowed so the best solution would be to put some armored parts on and leave it in battroid mode. Problem is...How much are armored parts these days? Do i need to sell a kidney and lung to buy a set or one internal organ should be enough?
-
Since that we are talking about M+ and the YF-21...I was trying to touch up a little my old 1/60 from Yamato. Is there any kind of waterslide decals out there that can be used to replace the horrible stickers from yamato? They look really terrible and i think it's a big shame because it's the only thing i can't stand of the model. I wanted to try the decals from the Hasegawa 1/72 model kit but i am afraid they could be too small. Any suggestions?
-
I agree with you when you talk about rotating cockpit on the VF-1...but if i remember correctly the old VF-0s from yamato do have this kind of feature right? Never bothered to check on the new ones from arcadia though. Are there any other VFs i am forgetting that had rotating seats?
-
I used them for the first time this week for a non macross item. They shipped the item three days after the release date and it was delivered safe at my house today via DHL. Very happy about the service, will probably use them again. -
The Alien/Predator/Aliens vs. Predator Thread

I totally agree with you. I always prefer details and extra accessories over size. Anyway as a kid that would have been a dream coming true. -
The Alien/Predator/Aliens vs. Predator Thread

For me for that price it has to be able to fly. In outer space. -
For once their posing is really good! Kinda made me want to build a Gunpla...also, i really wish they would release a 2.0 version of the 0083 MS. They all look great but they definitely need an upgrade.

Top Gun: Maverick (Top Gun 2 is comin)
Robin-11 replied to Ladic's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Thank you very much for your explanation, now everything is much more clear. For what it's worth i never thought Tom Cruise was actually piloting the aircraft himself. Not only because i am pretty sure the navy and the military have a very strict policy about that but also because if something would have happened to him(or the aricraft), goodbye Top Gun 2. So let me ask you another question then...is there a specific reason why they chose to go into the final mission with that particular squadron(some dual-seaters some single-seater)? I mean, the dual-seaters can do things that the single-seater can't and viceversa? -
Top Gun: Maverick (Top Gun 2 is comin)
Robin-11 replied to Ladic's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So i finally watched the movie last night and loved every second of it! I am just unclear on one thing and i am going to warn you i am very ignorant on the topic... It seems like there were some of the F-18 that were two-seater aircraft and others that were one-seater...did i miss something or what? How does it work in real life aviation? Are there two versions of the same aircraft? I was so excited while i was watching it that i might have missed something.... -
I agree, same thing here. I spent almost a week trying secure a pre-order at a decent price and there was no freaking way. It's not going to be a regret for me. Also, this and many other so and so experiences kinda made me want to stop buying Bandai products. At least for super robots there are many other great options now.
-
I really like this version of Danguard A! There are some small modifications to the original design but overall i think it's the perfect modern interpretation of a super robot from the 70s. Does anybody know where i can pre-order it?
-
To me it's totally worth it. Actually i think the proportions and the details are even better than the DX SOC. Unfortunately i couldn't afford this new Golion but if had the money i would totally buy one. Or even two.
-
I actually consider myself lucky that i got pretty much everything i wanted in my collection by now(i started collecting anime mechas and figures in 1999). I feel really bad for the ones who started in the last few years...an hobby should be relaxing but now it's becoming almost nerve wracking.
-
I agree 100%. Same thing happens with Saint Seiya and its products, especially myth cloth. At this point the only thing we can all do is stop buying products which we think are not worth certain prices. Otherwise i have the feeling this thing will be getting worst and worst.ù
-
Thank you. Yes, the purchase i did on ebay with them went really good and their communication was excellent. Also their website helps build the trust. They have a lot videos, youtube channel, social media interactions... the only thing i don't like is the premium user option they give you. Everything in that option should be already included in your regular account.
-
Actually yes no3Ljm, you are correct, i am ryoma. Unfortunately i was not able to retrive my password after the problems at the server few months ago and i had to create a new account. Nice to meet you again. Anyway, thank you for your suggestion. I think i will try luna park this time. I already tried them for a different kind of item on ebay a couple of months ago and everything went pretty smooth.
-
Quick suggestion guys...if i had to choose the lesser evil, should i go with Nin-nin game or luna park? Not only for the angel birds PO but for pre-orders in general.
-
So wait, are we getting a PF destroid now??? And they show it before the release of the regular one? Someone is going to be upset...
-
Not very popular but still a great movie!
-
I laways thought that armors on the predators were not that relevant. I think their skins must be extremely thick and can barely be pierced by present firearms(i think in the first movie he was wounded by a 5.56 cal, from what i remember) I would be really surprised if now predators can be killed by weapons made out of rocks(to my knowledge most of the weapons NA used were built with rocks and did not have any blades. Again, i might be wrong though). Maybe they will throw in some shaman powers in order to track down and weaken the predator? That would be kind of cool.
-
That's a ctually my point. To my knowledge the answer would be No. At all. NA were not using traps to hunt(or at least not very sofisticated) and did not develope that kind of technology . Their warfare technology was very primitive and would be completely useless against a predator. At the contrary Dutch after spending several years behind the enemy lines in the jungle was probably able to conquer the perfect knowledge in order to beat the predator. But then again my knowledge on the subiject is superficial so i might be wrong. Plus, we saw just a couple of trailers so things might be quite different from what we are expecting. In any case i think that direction that they are going so far(little girl who hunts down and kills a predator) doesn't make sense at all and those trailers look like a parody to me. Hope i m wrong though.
-
I agree with you but i think you are being even too kind(of course it's just a trailer so let's wait and see...). I think what a Predator movie needs is a great antagonist that really feels like can take down the alien both with his body and with his mind. And that's the reason why the first two movies work(the first one better than the second). Besides, Dutch was a former Macv sog, so if there was somebody who could take down a predator it was him. Also,according to my knowledge of the native indians culture they seemed to be good hunters but they were weapons were very rudimentary, nothing that could hurt a creature like a predator. Correct if i am wrong here. my knowledge of the topic is really shallow.
-
That's too bad I really hoped i could get my hands on those decals, they would really make the difference on my GBP VF-1J. Anyway, can i get on your waiting list for this set of decals? Time is not a problem for me at this point, since i have had my GBP like that for over 15 years i think i can wait few more months.
