I agree. Would be nice to have that. But since I can't understand the whole Japanese texts on the micro site or even the blog update, I rather prefer photo updates instead. I'm sure a lot of people here will agree and prefers photos than texts.

Keep this link for inspiration.

Nope. I'm referring to the store mentioned here. ^ This is what I'm going to do just to have a peace of mind. From what we've read so far, Arcadia mentioned that they're offering both preorders the same day. Not sure why the Premium Finish one is not online yet. Let's just wait for a couple more days. There's no reason to panic for Arcadia releases. They're not Bandai after all.

Wings on the hips. I like that!

I'm sure Yeti will make a clear one once this is out. +1 Me too! I'm not going to judge the price. I just need a headsup how much should I save.

With dilemma like that, I'm pretty sure you already know which store to order the regular one, right? Don't worry. You're not alone on this.

Well, still cheaper than what's out there. I'm just waiting for HLJ.

The lesson here is that if you're tired of seeing other people's complains over and over esp from the same people according to you. Then it's best to skip it. Ignore it. Members here are not obligated to answer everyone's comments, opinions, and whatnot everytime. You don't like his complains even if he's entitled to? Skip it. You don't like his post? Ignore it. Go to the next topic. But the moment someone replied to it, then expect that same person or other person will reply back to what you have posted since they want to point out their complaints and opinions. If that happens, then expect the whole shebang will start over again to the point that it's going to blow out of proportion. And some people will start telling again that it's the same people, same complains, same instances, over and over again. Now, if someone's comment somehow trigger your concern or your righteousness, then it's up to you if you're going to post your opinion which you have the right to. But do remember another person will reply back to your opinion too. This is how forum is. This is why forum is interesting. You read everyone's opinion whether good or bad. And like I said earlier, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. But I'm pretty sure you knew that already. Peace. But back to 262. I agree with you. It's a beauty. I've been transforming one of the two that I have a few times now. And I really like it in Gerwalk mode. Can't wait for the Lil Drakens to come in.

I'm sure you understand when I say not all of us here are forgiving as you. Not everyone here are the same. Some will be ok with it. And some don't. Now, why do we still order from them? Simple. Because not all the online Japanese shop carries Tamashii Web Exclusives. But I'm sure you knew that already. The point that most of members here says about the practice that Nippon-Yasan does recently for asking extra shipping cost after you pay certain item in full including the initial shipping cost is really incompetent as Lolicon pointed out. They're not doing this before. I've been buying from them since 2013. And only recently, they started doing this. I would rather pay the secured TWE item first and pay the shipping cost afterwards when the item is packed and weighed and ready to ship. That way they will able to give us the correct cost for shipping. Anyways, this is only my opinion. Last I checked, everyone is still entitled to their opinion, right? And I respect everyone's opinion here. So I'm sure Mechaninac and Lolicon including you, are just expressing about NY's shipping practices and with your it's still less than other shops opinions. After all, it's not MacrossWorld, without this kind of conversation. Peace.

Or, if you really really want your collectible to last. Don't touch them. Keep it mint. And have a peek from time to time on the window box appreciating how pristine your copy is. Then you don't need to spend a few bucks on those inspection gloves. Problem solved.

Actually they help specially if you're holding diecast collectibles since our fingers produces oils or sweats. It's just proper to wear a glove. Because those turns into acid-like residue and it will cause damage into the figure overtime. So yeah, better safe than sorry.

Wow! That's awesome! You're going to 3D print it? Nice! Out of topic question though for everyone. Was there anyone tried to design a Fighter, Gerwalk or Battroid mode based on the Yukikaze planes like the Mave or Super Sylph?

If you're that worried about the decals, it wouldn't hurt to use this also when handling sensitive toys. $12.01 for a pack of 12. Free shipping if you're on Prime. Not bad, right?

Based on the first batch of photo showing the figure on the bike, same as the Beagle one, without the Ride Armor, the figure is poseable. It has good articulation as is. But the moment the Ride Armor is attached, the articulation gets limited. So what I'm trying to say earlier was that once the side armor is attached to the waist and knee, would it restrict the movement just like the one from Beagle? I was hoping that in this incarnation or in this new version of Ride Armor, I hope there will still be proper articulation when the figure is wearing the armor and not to 'cheat' anything by removing the side armor from the knee to have proper stance or remove the arm armor from its connectors at the back just to raise the arm a little bit more or even removing the waist armor from the crotch armor just for the legs to spread wider. Don't get me wrong though. Even if I have a feeling that the articulation will be limited once the armor is on for this new figure, I'm still going to get one. I just only wish that this version is an improved version of what's been done before when it comes to articulation and how the armor works or expands without removing it to pose the figure properly. Here's some photo examples of the 'cheat' workaround from Anymoon.com:

Oh. That's good to know. Thanks Mr Bomber! I'm actually not a big fan of this series, but the toy looks shiny.

Really... Why not stop posting it? I mean, you.

From old decscription: Yamato 1/2000 Complete Transformation Macross SDf-1 Prototype Model Kit (Heavy Duty Polyurethane Ver.) - Resin Kit. Date release: Late Dec. 2009 Regular Price: Y210,000. Yamato Web Shop Limited Release.

Thanks David!

Hey Anubis. I'm curious on this line of figures. Does the shiny chrome finish somehow deminish over time? Just like some old 70's toy that all the chrome looking parts worn out and shows the actual plastic underneath. Thanks!

I was about to say decide with your heart. But I stumbled upon with this quote from a genius mind: "If your heart is telling you one thing and your mind another, before you decide anything you must decide whether you have a better head or better heart." - Enstein

You can probably apply a light topcoat if you're really concern about the tampo prints. And by doing so, you're not just protecting the tampos, you're also protecting the plastic as well. Or you can just use a cloth inspection gloves when handling these babies.

You're welcome F360! Sure. I'm curious to see those marks so I could check if these KO's is capable of creating a mess as well. Thanks in advance!
