Macross 25th Anniversary TV Special thread *READ THE 1ST POST*
nugundamII replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Watched it and I liked it until Giant Bugs showed up. Then I thought of how original this was and Starship troopers and Gunbuster came to mind. You don't need Valks in this series, just giant cans of RAID! -
Display Your Collections...
nugundamII replied to bryan_f_davis@yahoo.com's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I got so many I dont need to hide my Collection. When I put out something new she thinks I swapped something from my Containers HAHA -
Come on guys it might not be all that bad. Heck they might also release these in the SOC line and they will rock

The LFO -01 "Nirvash" is no longer available. It was a limited run by Bandai. They are inexpensive about $25-$35 dollars. Because of this price point the quality is on par with Yamato's first 1/60 Vf-1A. Parts you have to take off to get it into vehicle mode. Its plastic feels like good quality, Detail and paint apps are very good but the hip joints are very loose. I am hoping this mecha gets the SOC treatment, because its definitely deserving of the treatment just not sure why they haven't yet. There is a kick ass model of the Nirvash -02 which is awesome. Its where the mecha assumes flight capability and is essentially a triple changer. There is also a modified Nirvash kitbash that has taken pieces of an attack chopper and fused it in the body of the model very nice. http://www.robotoys.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=1678 http://www.discountanimedvd.com/detail.asp...me=Eureka+Seven http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN932880 More pics

Thank you but i have already done this no luck As you can see by the picture I can hold the nose and bottom button and it fits with no cap in the seem but the grey post on the class canopy is too long and interferes from doing this
-
yes I did Correction!!!! my comments were not directed to those that understood what I was saying but those that took offense that I criticized Crapmato
-
Yes it does Would you like to see a pic?
-
No you were and I was not directy at you just the ones that started this whole ganging up on me

Its funny that I mention a few truths about the qc issues with Yamatos stuff and you all go on a rant and direct misguided critisims against me. first off- i dont remeber how many of you here have completed about the qc issues here which has lead to the common idea to buy yamatos second and third releases of their products. I didnt insult Graham but stated the obvious.He gets his information from source and either he has a friend that works for the company , works as a general marketer and passes info along publicly or indirectly via this message board and all I know if that information seems to flow in one direction. Why arnt our concerns being passed along For starters> I have included some pictures of my own collection, you should be able to tell I am NO amatuer collector and I would first investigate any flaws and rule out user error before criticizing the product. I figured out the problem is with the post that is attached to the canopy. IT is too long and therefore I cannot snap in the nose cone into the notch between the canopy and nosecone. I can fix this by using an xacto knife and trimming that post but I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. The excuse of that I got a dud is irrelevant because that would only mean that all the yamato products I have are duds and just proves my case in point. and just because this is geared to adult collectors doesnt mean this thing has to be as delicate as paper marche. By the second release there SHOULD BE NO DUDS PERIOD! and especially on an anniversary item! THe price point does not match the quality and you certainly don't get what you paid for. Since you guys have challenged me on the distinction between yamato and other companies I shall elaborate Bandai SOC line is geared towards adult collectors with a few factors in designing their line 1. make them as close as replicas as possible 2. posability of points of articulation 3 quality of material used metal and plastic in most cases 4 Presentation in terms of boxing and gimmicks ie transformation. for the most part they score pretty high for me. WHY because they seem to meet all of these factors without compromising quality and price. Case in point. I have Dancougar, Aqaurion-Designed by Kawamori, Gunbuster and Evangelion. Aside from the keeling over of Aquarion because the toy contains more than 70% diecast, have very minor QC flaws which I dont have to fight with to transform or use excess force or modify, and their pricing is much lower for what you get compared to Junkmato Transformers MP line STarscream=also designed by kawamori, also made of plastic and incorporates a sophisticated transformation, NO FLAWS. True to the anime version and also spot on the F14 Eagle, which I also dont have to break things to get them to fit the right way, and much lower priced. Same goes for MP megatron which the former and latter are not BULKY or BLOCKY so that excuse doesnt stick!!! The fact that both these companies have larger operating budgets and hence better products also doesn't wash over well with me. These pieces are also produced in limited quantities and are loss generators IE ALTERNATORS/Binaltech were canceled because revenues were low! The only difference in this case is that BANDAI and TAKTOMY have other lines which are profit generators and can adsorb loss but the fact they make them means that they know there is a demand for them by collectors If Crapmato wants to compete and grow they have start making better products maybe they can cut the size of the packaging which is a huge savings considering the plastic and imaging involved I dont need a box the size of a house. Anyway thanks for the NO support!I wasted my time here typing this!!!

You would think after collecting these things for a long time, I would at least try fiddling with it??? Yes I have looked at it closely. Not only did I have to use needle nose pliers to get one of the landing gears out, transformed it, played around here and there. The nose cone DOES NOT STAY PUT. It seems everyone that jumped on me here assumed that I did not try to fix the problem!

Ok Just got my 1/48 YF-19 from HK (Anniversary Edition). So here I think it should not have any problems since this is technically the second run of this toy? I thought I got smart and became Patient! fart ...think Again. Here is the picture of the front canopy and nose cone which shows a large gap and often will sag in time and having the whole nose cone hang much like the Koeing Monster. THIS IS BULLSHIT. For something that retails very high should not have problems like this. Bandai doesn't have these problems. Neither does Taktomy. With Taktomy's MP line, pretty much their toys are solid. Seriously, and they want to expand and compete with other lines ie REVOLTECH and whatnot. I don't think so. Also, I wonder what G mans connection is to this company. Talks so highly about them but there work either continues along the same bad quality control pace or its gotten worse. Does he really pass along all this bad publicity to them? Hey Graham ask them if they want my resume!!!! I promise nothing will leave their Chinese factory unless everything is 110% condition and if that means that they don't sell anything oh well you shouldn't be in business if you cannot make a good product. I am sure companies would not last long if this practice of poor QC were applied to some of our societies more needed products ie cars, medicine etc I was so looking forward to the YF-21 but now....even after waiting for the second release any hope that this company can learn from its mistakes is dashed. I wont make this MISTAKE again with my money!
