Why surprised? Adding a couple of new pieces like the face, pilot and canopy, then removing the one gun, and adding those amazing absolutely gorgeous green florescent flames 🤦♂️= $6.00 increase. Jokes aside, and being diplomatic, the YF-21 was listed on the previous fiscal year, while as we're now past February, this one is listed in the new fiscal year which likely has inflation hikes and etc.

The life of a Macross collector since Yamato v1 cerca early 2000... - New release announced - Scan pre-order images under a microscope - Everyone complains it doesn't have Anime magic transformation. Some vowing to summon the moon to crash onto Earth - 70 pages later, everyone confirms pre-orders - Item arrives, further microscope scanning - Item then shelved or stored as another new release is announced

Touch down. Amazon Jp, 3 days shipping to Europe, Greece. Absolutely epic!!!! I'll post pics and a review later tonight.

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
Raikkonen replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Has nothing to do with that. Original Star Wars featured the Empire as human male dominated for one reason. Cheaper production costs by mimicking N@zis in space with minimal costume sizes and cuts. And was kept like that right into Jedi for continuity sakes as it worked well to represent 'bad guys'. By the time TPM was scripted, George finally had endless money and new wonderful technology to shove all kinds of colourful aliens in every corner of the screen. -
Far from it. Actually shows belief in their product for a long term line. It's a very good sign. Also, 3zero have proven themselves over the years. Their integrality doesn't need to be questioned. Delays with any high end toys are normal. Usually could be one of these reasons: - Last moment tweaks to improve the toy before production, or picked up it's need during first batch and halted production to ensure all items have the adjustment. - Pre-orders exceeded initial production forecast to what the factory can produce in a certain timeframe. (This is likely here, and they'll want those pre-orders fulfilled at same time to to keep all customers happy.)

That picture hurts... would love me a re-release VE and VT... And the VF-1 in that DYRL grey... And the Regults... ...Nousjadeul-Ger, why not, that too...
-
6 years... and nothing since... 😶... I now feel that Tomahawk pain...
-
Yeah... sorry, I was searching for Bandai HMR's on another window, and it stuck to me. 😅
-
1A is a given. Armour builders fix. Easy money for Bandai. @Big s - How's the weight so far? My Hasegawa one still remains the lightest mech I've built in around this scale.
-
This is on *Plamax's X's account?
-
Now with my luck, I'll pull the trigger on the Focker homage, and Bandai will announce the next day Max and Millia's... Which for me, is a bit of double dipping regret as it's the same mold, and only plan to sink in multiplies with the Zero line, especially with a fodder 0A and fodder SV-51...
-
You're the holy guardian of archived images!!!! Thank you!!! Dammit, that Max 😍... I guess this was a long time ago (During my collecting time out), and I guess in true Bandai fashion, now locked in the deep freezer...
-
I read on Anymoon's VF-4 review that at one point Bandai teased the Max and Millia versions. Can't find the tease. Anyone still have the image?
-
I understand them. It's likely due to the amount of false claims. Even some of us private sellers have experienced such incidents. Good advice. But it's probably specified in their T&Cs for them to do it.
-
Good excuse to rewatch the whole anime again 😅
-
They'll most likely add it to the eventual Armour version...
-
I still prefer the head (face) of the YF, it's a bit more Zentradi alien looking.
-
That box cover is just pure p0rn.

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series

This is my point. It's just cosmetics. -
Guess then there's odds the Max version will be exclusive too.
-
So overall, it's still not quite there to a Bandai kit where it can be built straight out of the box with just a bunch of side cutters.
-
Compared to this, yes, very much. Promises well for future 19s.
-
That's a cool touch. But still no pics of the underneath of plane mode to see if they fix those ugly gaps the YF19 has...
-
Apologies for my ignorance. Wed Exclusive like can be purchased on the Tamashi store? Or Web Exclusive like available in any online store but not a actual physical store?
-
Comparing apples with bananas here. One designed to look stylized like in the show. The other designed with plausible functionality. 🤷♂️ @Big s - Cheers for the HQ detailed pics. I'm so sold on these, will pick up the 1J to build during my summer. Definitely need some Regults in the same stylization to recreate some memorable scenes. Maybe some Zentradi troops too. It's also great to see that the seams don't need a lot of work, as from the online reviews I've seen, Max Factory was a bit behind this compared to others. How do the joints fair up? Is the quality of the polycaps good?
