If that's how they did it in the show, I'm expecting a lot more frankenmechs in the next series. Maybe even frankenvalks lol

IIRC, Gamlin also comes with dup runners for color accuracy, and effect parts, making it a bigger kit than the YF-21. Anything not bandai's IP also gets IP tax. In this case, it's bigwest tax. I think there's also some sort of economy of scale tax. You can see the same price hike with other bandai kits for 3rd party IP.

There are two replies under that tweet that claim the same issue. Considering how little visibility the tweet itself got, and how easy it is to not realize it is a defect, I'd say it's at least a tiny bit more common than random one offs.
-
Very cool to see all those gargantuan objects together for scale. And looking forward to the G Drive filling up with goodies, even though I will probably do nothing with them lol
-
I assume the model is animated in game, so do the missile tubes and the chest armor pod actually depict anything inside? Or are they just duds like the DX? lol
-
Just gonna comment to keep track of this in my notifications 😁

That's similar to my idea a few pages back, except to flip it out from the other end of that flap hinge block, and let it slide in under the block to double as the lock pin as well. That without replacing any outer shell parts. That's more and idea for replacing that whole lock pin block from the factory though. Don't actually know if thats feasable as a mod, since YYK still hasn't shipped mine so I can look at it in person. At least I know they went ham and checked for the double shoulders after I requested it. But it's been radio silence for a few days again after I replied to ship it. 😭
-
The goodies keep on coming!
-
Nice, more Klan pics 😁
-
Some of these look like it couldn't have happened without being yanked out of the injection die while they are still warm... Also, still no word from YYK as conversion rates become rapidly less favorable... It's just shipping, and import tax... but still 😭
-
I know this convo came about from confusion, but YYK has stopped responding to me after they sent the photos. My response to the photos was basically that things looked fine, and asked them if they could check for the double same shoulder, and if not, to just move on to shipping. I've tried email, order details chat, website contact form, one of each, in that order. The latter being from yesterday, so may not have been adequate time, but it's been a total of 2 weeks with no confirmation of even recieving any messages. Not sure how I sure feel about it, seeing that they have a good reputation, and personally experiencing great communication up until this point... Me aside, the last few bendy photos above really suggest it's hard to blame the bubble for the bends...
-
That's true horror right there. Outside of fiction, this is actually a nightmare scenario that I wish with all my might, to not befall on the franchise. Hopefully disney doesn't get any funny ideas just because BigWest went with them for streaming...
-
So it was him, bending all the head lasers before delivery because he is jealous of his replacement getting a DX made.
-
Nightmare and Monster are definitely on brand for UPS package handling 🙃 Those two just look right at home with the UPS badge. It's like they were meant for the job. These trade wars are starting to heat up lol
-
The competitive cargo dumping scene is heating up!
-
Can confirm my photos were different too. I didn't get one in that angle. The reflections and angle are all different.
-
Mine looked fine in the photos, but they haven't replied me ever since my reply to their photos lol.
-
😮 This is actually so beautiful. I never would have imagined. This needs to be in the next macross. It is now my headcanon that there are rotor drones pre loaded with packages in the calf compartments. The mission pack is a shipping container only used when there are oversized shipments lol.
-
If we're talking replacing whole sections of the toy, I was just thinking of how everything waist down is entirely removable. So theoretically, someone could come up with middle ground proportioned legs. That could solve all the issues like short belly plate, fat pengoid, ground clearance, partsforming, non canon transformation, etc. Maybe even hide some integrated mechanism that could stand in for the battroid brace that holds up the back pack at a more desirable height. I guess the same goes for the removable arms, especially since people don't like the roll pin bicep either. Basically, chuck out half the toy and replace it with homemade or aftermarket parts. lol 🤪
-
Amazon delivery valks? Totally must make sense on a rural planet that deals with periodic raids from spacefaring kaiju lol
-
The yellow one looking like an actual hornet. Really drives home that battroids have a bit of insectiod motitf. The red one coincidentally is reminiscent of Alto's Durandal. Sports livery does indeed go well with the Seigfried.
-
YYK got back to me with multiple top down photos for each blister tray and are offering to take more photos if I want. Everything already looks fine though so I already feel like I've won the lottery lol. Should I ask for shoulder inspection? Anyone got a quck and easy on how the belly opens or an image of what to look for without going into further transformations? I'm not even sure how visible it is or which side the tab on the shoulder is supposed to be facing with the arm turned tbh. Or is this whole opening the blister to handle and mess around with articulated parts thing too much to ask for from a retailer already having done so much voluntary work for who knows how many units? Should I just get on with shipping?
-
That is surprising. I don't know much about Yukikaze, but I always assumed one of the mods in this clip was it. Turns out it was just a similar looking plane from an older AC. Wouldn't be surprised if one was a reference to the other though, which ever came first.
-
Wow, all of those 31A's look delicious. A crazy thought has just occured to me. Somene needs to mod the the VF-31 intocombat 7 with these models, like how there are already VF-1 and YF-29 mods for it. And maybe even place this whole map in a stage, complete with Elysion take off and landing segments lol. I don't even have the game, but videos of those existing macross mods look like heckin overpowered fun already. The 31A would probably blend right in to the base game without even look out of place compared to the other mods.
-
The "fast" in fast pack refers to how much time bandai takes to rip them out the molds and rip out the sprues and then slam them into the blister 🤡 On a serious note, I think a couple rubs from a nano glass file should clean those massive nub mark up good enough to look better than those hinges beside them. Still disappointing that this quality of finish is made like its proper for the price point though.
