    Bah, which ever reviewers have the most fans / subscribers, works... Also, I like honesty. I just gonna wait and enjoy the reviews, and hope it's from more than one source. Reviewer, whomever it is, should be fan of macross to some extent!!!
  2. Arthurius
    Lunar, if at all possible, pls consider Peaugh too as one of the reviewers, but only IF he is interested / excited about this project.
  3. Arthurius
    I didn't know Peaugh was a Macross fan, but cool if he is, that would make the review better, and indeed get the word out and get more fans interested at least. It would be preferable to send it to 2 - 3 independent reviewer, as was done with FT Quakewave, which really got the balls rolling and increased the sales / audience.

    I agree with David here, Keep it to simple stuff first, then work yourself slowly up!!!! Like simple transformation, or none transforming at all!!! The SDF-1 is a good example, and so will be the Regult, and similar, maybe zentradi / meltran, frontier / etc... Imagine the possibilities!!! I am not sure if the VF-2SS, which is what we really all want, will be too difficult for them or not, but if they can start with easy, and make it good quality / paint / engineering (tabs / locks / ratchet / etc..), that will be best, and make it more feasible for us to get other stuff made that wouldn't be otherwise. An example is from the TF world, the 3rd party Quakewave. It was their first attempt, and is considered one of the, if not THE, best 3rd party tfs ever made.

    Yes, Chimungmung best option for international right now, and Lunar best option for the states. Also, I deal with Chimungmung for some of my TF, so I like using him, and never will get caught with tax / duty. Robotkingdom may be cheaper in asia though, so you will have to check to make sure. I know to Canada, their shipping is 32$, and the std price is 99$. @Lunar, You will be getting a test shot and reviewing him? When do you expect this? Also, pls email me when you get set up for international, I think I have come across your store before for a few things. Thanks in advance

    WOW, I am sooooo excited about this, 1) this is my first SDF-1 2) my first macross purchase since yamato VF-17 Kai (on super discount). yea, I couldn't afford anything anymore. 3) my first SD PO / Paid at Chimungmung. I recommend this store to any Canadians (actually anyone outside US really) if you want to avoid tax / duty and pay some of the cheapest price. It came to 120$ shipped (95$ + 25 shipping from HK). To anyone in the states, you really should go Lunar only, they have the best price for you guys, and if you order something else to go to 150$, you get free shipping.. Pls pls pls don't mess up the quality / paint, get us a descent figure pleaaase. Crossing fingers this one will be ok (I know some 3rd parties nail it on their first try, whilst others completely blow it). I just couldn't resist, I really want a nice SDF-1, and this looks amazing in both modes, and so cute, it will be nice hovering over my Yamato Valks

    Hi, Anyone used this head before, or seen it being used on a VF-1 1/48th before? https://www.shapeways.com/model/735327/autobot-jetfire-head-ver-1-revised.html?li=cart&materialId=5 It says it is made for 1/60, but looks too big for it. Any pics you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  9. Arthurius
    @Exo, Thanks, I just pm you on that @ CoreD Thanks also, will have to contact them to see if it works for the yamato vf-1 1/48.
  10. Arthurius
    Hi everyone. So I have a yamato 1/48 vf-1a with booster, not getting much love now. Thought I'd give it a repaint and a new head. Problem is, where can I currently get a head that would fit. I guess a vf-1s head would do, though not sure who can still get that from, but otherwise, even a custom head. Didn't find anything on shapeways. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance. regards
  11. Arthurius
    haha, thanks for sharing, that was great
  12. Arthurius
    Ah man, Apocalypse, the coolest bad guy ever in the marvel world!!! I hope they really make him worthy!!! But 2016, ah man, what a wait!!!
  13. Arthurius
    + 1 on this. Bovis is alot of fun. Finally something that looks fantastic AND is tough AND you can drop without any worries (just broke my yf-19 when it fell off my stand) AND is fun!!! If i consider the whole combiner as 1 figure, then this is the first time i am buying 400 - 500 $ for a toy (actually 5 - 6), but this will be alot funner that any Valks i have, and will be the best toy (s) ever. I am also getting Hexatron now. MMC is really delivery beautifull and fun toys. Sure, i love all my valks, especially my vf-19 fire valk, they are all wonderful display units, but after the 1/48 era, i feel that this is the first time i have a toy that is both easy to transform and has super tight joints, AND for the first time, i dont fear it can brake. Definetly worth getting. Sure would also love a yf-19 from Arcadia for a display piece only, but more than happy with my vf-19s and fire, and Arcadia is beyond my price reach now, and am extremely happy switching to MMC and Fans Toys transformers for the heavy massive plastic feel, easy transformation, and fun factor of always wanting to handle my toys. This is ALOT of bang for the bucks guys, MMC products are not overpriced at all. MMC has announced that they will be making an Overlord too!!!
  14. Arthurius
    This looks like the best / nicest /coolest toy that will ever be mass produced on planet earth at below 500$!!! Just wow, I wish I could afford it, it is just so beautiful.
  15. Arthurius
    Ah Common!!!! Anyone? VF-19 from Batroid to Fighter?
  16. Arthurius
    Thanks Jenius, but I want to go from Batroid to fighter if possible.
  17. Arthurius
    oh man, i mistyped, i meant the vf-19
  18. Arthurius
    Hi, can someone post the video instructions for transforming the VF-17 from Batroid back to fighter? I am stuck in Batroid, and dont know how to transform it back!!!
  19. Arthurius
    lol
  20. Arthurius
    wish list is 200$... realistic number base on the vf-1s is double that 300 - 400$. If they do a second run in 2015 and this gets good reviews, I might be able to put all my money aside for that one... probably they wont do it though. If it is above 400$, I am out forever, and will just enjoy my vf-17.
  21. Arthurius
    well, this mold seems... absolutely perfect.... and.... extremely expensive...and probably will be the most sought out valk ever... aw man, and that display case, holy molly. If I had known a few years back of course that something this grand would be made, I would have traded / sold / not bought at least 3-4 of my remaining valks, where I have only less than 10 now. Honestly, this and VF-19 Fire as my two most awesome made valks ever (and leader, and favorite characters in all macross), each in a display like that on it's own, wow.
  22. Arthurius
    well, they could hand it in to Michael Bay..... (runs and hides)
  23. Arthurius
    umm, wow, out of no-where... i thought we were done... Does anybody know how much this thing will be? The only reason i was able to get vf-19s and fire are because they were like 135 and 167 USD each when Yamato went kapout, and the old yf-19 was like 165$ at the time it was released. If this thing is gonna be 300 - 400 $ again, it wouldnt be worth it for me to start selling my old ones as i couldnt afford the new one anyways. Well, good to hear that macross toys will still be going (other than bandai), i just hope the prices wont be insane and the quality will be there, as it was on the vf-19's

    The story of how 3 companies came to make a Predaking combiner. Actually, MMC and TFC used to be "buddies". and tried to stay off each other's territory. MMC asks TFC if they are doing Predaking, so that if they are, they do something else. TFC tells them no problem, go right ahead, we are not doing it. MMC starts doing it, but UC comes out first, and MMC is pressed to get their demos / sculpt out sooner than expected so people see the option before all buying the UC. TFC secretely does predaking behind MMC's back. MMC wins the heart of many, if not most, with their beautifull design and engineering and fantastic communication with the public. MMC finds out about TFC secret plan later through some of their contacts, and now they are stuck, the small market must be shared into three, and the risks are high for them. TFC finally announces their Ares project. MMC and TFC product are much superior to UC. Some people start changing from MMC camp to TFC, due to the clean and beautiful design / look, whilst other prefer the MMC design and engineering and communication and stay true. Now, the waiting game till products start coming out from both MMC and TFC, which will be in the next few months. UC suffers due to extremely simplistic design and prices come down. TFC vs MMC Leo: - In Beast, MMC looks like it has much more flexibility and livelyhood, whilst TFC looks like a bear, and huge cannons and a nice tail, but some compare him to a cute kitty cat than an aggressive beast. - In Robot Mode, TFC is clean and blocky, with a head scult hated by many (myself included) / whilst loved by others as it is that of the cybertonian look. The nice large cannons are noticeble. But many dont like the closed fists with holes in them for such a detailed character. MMC on the other hand has a beautifull head sculpt, which many preffer, and looks good in general, and cannons are not bad in this mode. - Combined mode. Many people start noticing the nice head sculpt of TFC (myself included), and again those nice large Cannons, as well as the abs and well detailed crotch protector. Personnaly, I find this to be their best mode, and a safe and classic look. On the other hand, the head sculpt of MMC looks at first not as nice, but with further look and comparison, it is very unique, and does not bring the feeling of a good guy or heroic as many have stated. The back cannons are much smaller, but it is confirmed that the wings fit well in the back, though my guess is so will the TFC version. The TFC overall looks very detailed and clean, whilst the MMC looks bad ass and chunky, with a larger head to suit the combined mode. Hopefully, the TFC head wont be too small for the rest of the body, we shall see in time. MMC has done their design to allow alot of flexibility, such as making the combined mode look like a shiva by attaching multiple arms, and by even giving the option (and absolutely not necessary) of a 6th member, which will be tigra as a limb, making divebomb go completely as a back-pack if this is purchased. This makes an army of predacons possible, with all members being able to combine. This would become very expensive though, and many wont be able to afford that however, myself included. Not much is known or announced from TFC at this time, more to come soon i am sure. On MMC, we are given alot of updates and questions answered from one of the designer, and many little upgrades done from original design, some of which were thanks to fellow members giving valid / feasable requests. The transformations are said to be simple, reducing the time to go from beast to robot to combined, so you wont feel like you have to go through a lot of hastle to keep changing every so often, and also we are told that these will be fun to play with, not just display, and leave it. We will see if both these claims are right once products are actually out, as nothing is certain yet. As for TFC, you probably heard of the Uranos project, bringing much uproars, but maybe this one will be different, only time will tell. There is certainly enough difference between the two sets, that many will get both.

    yea, the MUST have accessory for TFC, people not too happy they didnt include this from the get go.
