    So full disclosure, I do want and fully intend to buy 4, simply because I want to display 2 of them, one in Fighter and one in Battroid and most folks probably know by now I'm in the MISB/MIB club. That said, real world responsibilities and budget will dictate how many I end up buying at release. If Arcadia were to release a CF or military themed VF-0D I'd want just 2, one to open and the other to look pretty in the box. Regarding if Arcadia makes these to order vs. mass release; If they're made to order then everyone who wants one better order during the pre-order window, otherwise they could be hard to find like the VF-4G and how the YF-19 is sort-of becoming now. If they're massed released then it all depends on how many and if it warms the shelf. The latter would be horrible news for Arcadia and for fans wanting more releases, and especially for the chances of any obscure or non-hero Valkyries down the line. -b.

    Oooooo...LOL Well in that case, that WAS a good one! For anyone paying attention it's hilarious how often the pre-orders for MP Wheeljack, Bumblebee and to an extent Ultra Magnus open and close on HLJ. -b.

    Pretty much my initial reaction...and good luck getting someone as hot as Kate B. to look as good in the tight leather outfit. Nope, not just you. It's craziness. -b.

    And just like that - UNDERWORLD!!!! http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/underworld-reboot-works-728353 -b.

    The critique of Damn based off of historical results is very fair, and I tried to give The Leftovers a chance and I stopped watching, not necessarily because I thought that was bad, I actually found it interesting and well acted, but there were too many competing priorities for my time - both on and off of television. Given past experience + lack of time + how this show has the massive potential to not have a solid or coherent ending make it easy(ier) for me to miss out on it and not feel too badly about it. -b.

    Off-Topic/sorry; You sir must have bumped your head and become concussed when you replied. Or it was opposite day in your world. On-Topic/still sorry; I've spotted Sunstorm at two different Toys R Us stores and each time shook my head in disgust as I walked way. -b.

    Very happy that she found a great home! And yes, the VF-4G was truly one of Yamato's best, if not arguably best, release. -b.
  8. Kanedas Bike
    My only concern at this point is how I'm going to be able to afford my pre-order of (4) of them. YEP -b.

    Had it for GC, never played it. Still regret it. Was in my party with "friends" in South Beach stage when that came out. -b.

    No real opinion at the moment, I'm buying that mini-SDF-1 so in effect I've already tossed my hat in the ring, but I would not buy anything that obviously hurts Arcadia or Bandai sales. Different reasons for both companies; Bandai in that besides the availability of their products I like what they've done with Frontier Renewals and if there were a significant dent in their bottom line they may just drop their interest in Macross. They could absorb any losses from sales and just opt to divert their resources to other product lines. Arcadia because I think they'd be more vulnerable from a sales perspective if 3rd parties starting producing items that compete directly with, or would divert money that would have been spent on their official product to something that fans have been asking for that Arcadia couldn't take the risk producing. Like if someone had limited disposable income and could only choose between a VF-2SS vs. VF-0D My .02. -b.

    The gunpod color too if I remember correctly, but you're correct. Also forgot how much I like the VF-0 gunpod, it looks so much more intimidating (lack of a better term) than the GU-11. -b.

    Cannot wait for the RE Remaster to come out! Resident Evil was the first game I bought with my PlayStation back in 1990-whatever and I used to play it non-stop. -b.
  13. Kanedas Bike
    Sorry, the part below through me off of indifference vs. up-in-arms. Either way, I'm of the mind to "wait and see" what Arcadia does with subsequent updates. -b.
  14. Kanedas Bike
    ^neither agree nor disagree because I haven't done any measurements I would say in either case, with Bandai or Yamato/Arcadia - the different releases (Frontier, SDF:M, DYRL, Mac Plus, 7, etc.) scale "good enough" for me -b.
  15. Kanedas Bike
    LOL - even the new folks are up in arms. Why is everyone oblivious to the fact that Arcadia, and Yamato before them listens to feedback and often changes or updates releases based off of feedback in order to be as accurate as possible? Less panic, more being rational would go a long way to ease the apparent anxiety. -b.
  16. Kanedas Bike
    And a YF-25 -b.
  17. Kanedas Bike
    ... ... as a Transformer and Macross fan (infinitely more so the latter) I certainly hope not +2 - there's even a thread dedicated to posting the YouTube reviews and transformation guides -b.

    ha ha ha Same here, granted I don't have a particular fondness for Macross Zero or the VF-0D as it appeared when Shin piloted it so I'm more forgiving, or basically ambivalent, about the color accuracy. So it's with full disclosure that IF I was attached, I'd be one of those wanting every picture we see to be as accurate as possible. And I still believe that Arcadia will change the color before release, but if they don't I'll still buy it. -b.

    !!! It's not that scary, just play during the day if you can. For me it was too much of the same thing and Hideo Kojima just loves to through in puzzles that tend to induce one to bang their head against a wall. Anyone playing Diablo III on PS4? This is my first time every playing a Diablo game and so far I'm having a ton of fun. -b.
  20. Kanedas Bike
    Me too! And I hope they make the goggles blue grey or some other random color just to cause some fuss. -b.
  21. Kanedas Bike
    BOOM! And yeah, I agree with the core concept that Yamato/Arcadia did, and may continue to do so depending on future releases, compromise true scale for the sake of bringing a "good" product to market. -b.
  22. Kanedas Bike
    Reasonable is subjective, but they seem to continually show up at Mandarake for around $ 250 to $ 280 dollars. Maybe those that use Yahoo! Japan Auctions can provide insight as to whether or not they show up at lower prices. -b.
  23. Kanedas Bike
    All this talk of Prime and MP-10 I finally pre-ordered the reissue at BBTS. -b.
  24. Kanedas Bike
    That's a nice start! Everyone started somewhere, I remember when all I had where the old 1/72 scale YF-19 and VF-11 and the v1 1/60 VF-1's from Yamato (to which I see one in you your pic) and my Holy Grail was still a Bandai 1/55 VF-1S Strike. -b.
  25. Kanedas Bike
    ??... Just kidding! Haven't seen any of EXO's work in-person but from everything I've seen and read I'm very inclined to agree with David on this one. -b.
