  1. Why? Is this coming out later this year? Do they have official schedule for it? Not sure so I'm just asking. Thanks.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    This! The DX have none unless you have missiles to put it on. Right?
  3. Ok. I did try to imagine your process here. So what's going to happen on the railings that makes the tank split, slide down, and fold around? Would that also mean the railings will somehow wrapped around the abdoben or waist just to make the tank part go around him in the first place? How about the HBT canister inside the tank? And how about the engine block? Since it hides under the said tank in Ride-Armor (humanoid) form. Would that mean the engine block will travel below him all around to the back and goes under the tank once it goes around from the process you mentioned? I'm not an engineer but I think this is too much over-engineering. It's what makes the DX VF-171 explode. And it's what makes the DX VF-19Adv chest complicated. It might be doable in the hopes that you don't want the rider to get off during transformation. But this method is not practical on small figures. Maybe for a 1/6th scale or 1/4th scale figures where tolerance is high but not for small figures. And by doing this process it's not accurate anymore.
  4. Not sure if this already been posted. MPM-3 Bumblebee Reissue coming out on Feb 2018. I'm planning on getting the KO but I decided to go with this instead. https://hlj.com/product/TKT89809-2
  5. I agree. I think what Capt mentioned here is basically what we saw on the clip that I included where the rider somehow moved past above the tank area and basically making the back part of the bike, tank area, engine, and tires included, have the room to transform and to be attached on the rider's back armor. Hence, why I say earlier it separates into two parts.
  6. And that is why anime accurate or not, we are not going to have any transforming Mospeada Ride Armor without removing the rider.
  7. Arcadia YF-19 release comes with Fast Packs and bunch of missiles. No Isamu bike though. If you want one, you can get it from Shapeways courtesy of Xigfrid. https://www.shapeways.com/product/J2CER27CD/1-60-isamu-dyson-bike-in-macross-plus Support our fellow members first before those TaoBao ones.
  8. I think the Sentinel's transformation sequence is a flip version of what Beagle had. Beagle is more scooping from above enclosing the rider to the front and locks at the crotch area. Whereas the Sentinel one looks more like scooping from below, above the head and finally locking in towards the back. And as Capt mentioned its transformation is really unrealistic and it really needs to remove the rider first. And I've been playing that clip back and forth and it's really impossible without removing the rider. And if we really need this to be anime accurate, the bike shouldn't be in 'one-piece' during transformation. It needs to split in 'two parts' just like in the first clip that I posted. One part is the front that makes the chest, torso, shoulder and gauntlet should be separated (1:04). And the second part which is the HBT tank (gas tank area), seat, rear booster, engine, wheels, and crotch armor (1:06). Which we clearly see that it's being separated from the front at 1:07 where the rider is somehow moving forward from the back part of the bike. Hence, if you check this other official artwork of transforming sequence. You really can tell that it splits into 2 parts:
  9. Guys, those are KO products. And there's already a thread for that.
  10. I wouldn't say for now that it's accurate to the anime at this point in time. Though we see the rider is between the front and back part of the bike as per diagram, the HBT canister slot area (gas tank area in real life), it shouldn't be coming in from the front and probably around from above. That one should be coming in from the bottom and wrapping from the back. The rest somehow looks accurate, only that gas tank area really needs to come in from the bottom to the back. Here's the Sentinel Diagram: And here's the transformation from the series:
  11. There's no official announcement as to why. But since their last post on their blog is all about fixes, then it's safe to assume that there's still in the stage.

  13. Don't forget also to put little 'watermarks' all throughout your video. They might cut the intro and outro then atleast you have your 'watermark'.
  14. None so far.

  16. Well, I think not everyone. Forgot the whole thing. Hahaha! Sorry, I really forgot about that. I'm in that 'age' now.
  17. Dafaq! Hahaha! Forgot about that. Thanks!
  18. Thanks Saburo! Really appreciate it. And the previous photo too. Love it! But excuse this old guy's ignorance. What do you guys mean by 'Blue Steel'?
  19. ^ Oh yeah! They can take their sweet time while my wallet's recuperating.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Hmm. Sold out already... Sometimes I do remind myself that this is just a toy and it's not something to get emotional with. What the heck. Screw you Bandai!
  21. Hey Ignacio. Too bad we can't check NY's pricing right now for shipping since the item is already 'not available'. The only way we can check the shipping price if the item is in stock or the preorder is still live. However, I did check CDJapan's shipping calculator to Argentina for the Mospeada Figure. Here's the available shipping methods: EMS: Y4100 Registered Airmail: Y3560 Registered SAL Small Packet: Y1810 I can't guarantee if it's the same or not. But I did compare a DX VF-31 figure for both shop to see if it's the same: Nippon-Yasan EMS: Y7300 Registered Airmail: Y4310 Registered SAL Economy: Y3140 CDJapan EMS: Y5700 Registered Airmail: Y4380 Registered SAL Economy: Y2410 But since you already placed your order at HLJ. It's good that you already have one. And you never know that there might be another figure to be released by the same month or a month after, atleast you can use their Private Warehouse option. You know, like killing two birds with one stone. And for expensive toy my friend, just use HLJ. Atleast you're covered with their customer service.
  22. If anyone still looking for Metal Robot Damashii Strike Freedom. Nippon-Yasan has it for Y10520. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/22596-metal-robot-damashii-side-ms-strike-freedom-gundam.html
  23. Got it. What I'm worried for is that they state it in their FAQ certain insurance for certain shipping methods. And by doing so, by means of continuing the said purchase, we agreed and bound with their terms. That's why I got curious when you said you will get it 100%.
  24. Agreed. But you know what, just in case they pull a Beagle move here with this line, I just wish they release Ley before that. I don't want to have a single Ride Armor figure. Though, I can probably buy a second one so I can have both modes. What I did with those is I put a layer of nail polish. And somehow it worked. Not as loose as is.
