  1. Congrats Ignacio! Post some pics once you build it. I do got a restock notification for it but I still have some second thoughts on getting one. I know I love Hazel Gundams and its all variants. But knowing that I don't have time of building it and not having too much space at home, and somehow I now really appreciate more the ones that are already built/pre-built (e.g. Metal Build, GFF Metal Composite, etc.), I decided not to get it. Unless they make one in that said line -- I wish it's Metal Build. But I doubt it's going to happen. But who knows? Regarding your posted knowledge on building kits, I think you're good to go on this MG kits. As for the wear and tear, it's usually on the joints and panels that moves. So basically, almost 'everywhere', I think. To be honest, if it's a non-transformable one, I guess it's all on the joints and watch out for all the panel gimiks that it has since most of them also moves. Anything that will contact to other parts expect some paint chips there too. And for transformable one, then basically everywhere. It's also why most people do some loose fit first so that they will know all the movements and parts that will have contacts after built. Atleast you can sand those areas a little bit to lessen the rubbing and contacts of one another. Do note that in order to do the 'loose fit' method, you have to make the peg connectors (the female parts) a little bit looser for easy dissassembling.
  2. True. But not as too much like Freyja's. I mean, hers is more like emoji-driven Macross character faces. You know what, Bandai should make Freyja stickies or emojis. Someday I would like to see a treatment like that even if it's just an OAV.
  3. Hahaha! Nah. I don't deny that I'm a 40+ year old guy who still like his Macross. It's just that even though I didn't like the direction that Delta took, I still respected and accepted the changes for this new generation since my only care about is the Valkyrie action. And that's the same reason ever since when I started watching this from 1983. But being called a cranky old guy just because I didn't like the whole premise of that show it doesn't mean I don't like the rest of it, right? Valkyries especially.
  4. Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1J Macross 35th Anniversary Boxart.
  5. Like omitting this kind of facial expression? Because IIRC, I don't remember seeing Minmay doing this. Did Ranka or Sheryl have this kind of expressions too? I'm not sure if it's going to work and help out Delta. It would be nice to see another Macross series that's somehow in-par with Macross Zero style and seriousness.
  6. Agreed. It's funny that we all somehow share the same sentiments towards Delta. And for that, I got labeled as a cranky old guy. Hahaha!
  7. Well, hopefully we get to see Ivanov soon. Can't wait to see new photos of him by you.
  8. I like the 1/18 scale more.
  9. If you're not a big primer-first guy, just make sure that you wash the kit first with water and dishwashing soap just to remove the remaining residues from the machine molds. And after painting it, make sure to apply a topcoat. But do note that this is still a kit. So if you move it and play it a lot, still expect some paint chip.
  10. Nice parts you have there, Spanner. Which of the box that has this?
  11. Don't you mean you need a bigger room? Great collections! Btw, is it ok to ask if you could post a photo of a 1/60 VF-1 with that CM's and Megahouse Ride Armor side-by-side? Thanks!
  12. Love the customs esp Alto's. Love it Saburo! So the enabler is back, eh?
  13. Hahaha! It's the same thing with them. We don't understand them too. We also roll our eyes whenever they want to buy new bags and new shoes.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Nice Nice Nice! DX Elysion? Hmmm...
  15. Wow! So EPIC you just posted 3 photos of it plus one Bandai pic as the first post on its own thread? C'mon, show us more! Show us how epic it is! You can do better than that. But kidding aside, congrats! I really would love one but the wife rolled her eyes on me. So I stayed away.
  16. I do honestly like and love Setsuna's Suits... But not that much. Yes sir! I'm getting there too. One of the reasons is the price. I'm doing it small steps.
  17. Hey Ignacio. Sad to say it will be regular release. METAL BUILD マジンガーZ 発売日:2018年2月予定 価格:21,600円(税8%込) ※一般販売店様にて2017年9月29日より予約解禁予定 (予約取扱の有無は販売店様により異なります) METAL BUILD Mazinger Z Release date: scheduled for February 2018 Price: 21,600 yen (including tax 8%) ※ Reseller will reserve a reservation from September 29, 2017 (Availability of reservation handling depends on dealer)
  18. Yup, Harrison is a character from Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam mangas including MSCG:Skull Heart and MSCG:Steel 7.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Sorry, if this cranky old guy hurt your sensitive feelings towards it. But just so you know, I'm still having fun collecting the Valks from that show. Also, it's not nice for younglings to group us old guys here as cranky.
  21. If you already have kid/s, you know for sure you need it. Hahaha! Nah. I don't have enough shelf-space because I don't have enough shelf to display everything to begin with.
  22. Like I said, priorities, priorities. Real life priorities. That's true. A collector is a collector. But you have to agree, everyone needs discipline for it.
  23. Probably black haired Madonna? Sorry, it's just Friday. My imagination is not working so I recolored one.
  24. Wow. In 3 years... Probably a new or renewal YF-21 1/60 Kanzen Henkei figure. But reality check first. I'm getting old and there's no stopping that. I really need to ask myself should I stop collecting Macross in 3 years time or wait until I hit 50 within the next 7 years? Priorities, priorities.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of blue scheme Valkyries since most of you guys here know that I'm more of a Hikaru scheme guy. But for some reasons, I'm really liking this scheme. Even if Macross Delta gave us headaches, I'm happy that they gave us great looking Valks to go with it. Now where's my Arad and Chuck's DX 31's, Bandai? Make us complete the platoon... NOW!
