    Bandai DX VF-31

    Would it be nice too if we have a Bandai insider. Like what Graham used to do before with Yamato. Any Bandai employees here?
  2. I love Galient too. But the Super Minipla is kinda too small for me. But seeing that it can convert into the Assault mode and the sillhouette of Promaxis/Zee who knows, right? Maybe down the line Bandai might release a Robot Damashii line for the Galient. Since this thread was resurrected, let's post some pics shall we? Photos courtesy of TagHobby.

    Macross VR

    Hmmm. What I think? It would be nice to have a back-to-back VR date game with Lynn Minmay and Makina Nakajima. And pilot a VT-1 and VF-31 with one of them off the Rings of Saturn while listening to Sunset Beach and Hametsu no Junjou. Lovely.
  4. For sure. He might open his own Macross Collectible museum soon. Featuring a 1/1 Takatoku half-body Battroid display.

    I don't think there was. Would you consider Sheryl's Grave marking on Maruyama's an emblem? I think that's the only Macross I've seen that has 2 Valks with emblems. Ozma and Maruyama.

    Finally! You can sleep.
  7. Hey Seti! Hope you also remember this cool scene from the Matrix. If it's something like that or more than that, I'll be happy. Since they're paying homage to almost all of GiTS movies and series, I hope they incorporate some music stuff from the Stand Alone Complex series. Would love to hear Stamina Rose on it.

    Ok. I got confused. What's Flouro?
  9. My point is that you can create a Stormtrooper bataliion without spending too much on Hot Toys. So if you have a Hot Toys Stormtrooper make them stand in front for a good illusion.
  10. Think of this way: 1/6 Hot Toys = Arcadia 1/6 Bandai Kits = Bandai DX For me, Arcadia will always have collectible shelf presence than Bandai DX's toy looking shelf presence. So if you want something to play with buy Bandai's Stormtooper kit. But if you want to display something that will make you or your friends to stare into something with awe then get the Hot Toys Stormtrooper. Here's an idea. Why not get a couple of Hot Toys one and display it in front of a battalion of Bandai's kit. Nice huh?

    Here's a quick dirty rendered preview Seti.

  13. Hey Spanner. Sad to say that I'm not a big fan of Basara... BUT I'M LIKING IT! Not sure if I need to get another one for the price it's going for. Hehehe. Though the loose hip joints needs fixing which I already did last night. That's why I posted on the VF-19 thread and found MJ's old post pertaining to broken hip joint on his 19S. And also I need to find new pilot figure for it. Now time to make some red color studies on Photoshop. I'll PM you soon. Love to see it in the other forms.
  14. Thanks for the reply MJ. Did you have it display fix in any form like superglue the whole thing? Anyways, let's hope everyone's hip joints are still intact.
  15. I agree to everyone's reply here. PAK line is getting expensive to the point that you can buy a good 1/6 figures for $180-200. I mean look at that Wolverine. It's already at Y14800. The only PAK figures I collect are the Final Fantasy VII ones. But not all of it. Let's just say I already have all of their Cloud figures since they started first as PlayArts. And not to mention, PAK line can be easily bootlegged. Wait a month after its release and there will be KO's over eBay (sometimes Amazon) selling it for $30-50. And most of the time you never know which one is real now. So if you're going to get one, make sure you get it from legit online stores.
  16. Ok. So I've stumbled on this post via Google. I just finished tightening that said screw to the connector with a washer since the VF-19P that I bought recently have a loose hip joints. So what I did is added a small layer of my silicon rubber to tighten it up. And now my hip joint is tight. And since this post with image pops up at Google while I was searching, I'd like to know if this is a common issue to the Yamato released VF-19's from Macross7? Don't want to ruin that hip connector and crumble into pieces just by tightening it. And also, MJ did you ever had the chance on repairing it? Thanks!
  17. Yes. If you haven't checked this thread for awhile, it's already been mentioned on this page top posts. Hope that helps.
  18. Wouldn't be funny if HG started using this tactics to sell Bandai/Arcadia products down the line. One day...
  19. No worries sir. Members here always loved to help other members. Circle of life.

    Spanner will be Spanner... "Spannered"
  21. Every customers have different opinions and experience on each of this stores. If you want great deal when it comes to pricing esp preorder pricing, go to AmiAmi or Nippon-Yasan. However, if you miss the initial preorder price, AmiAmi might put it back again after a month or two prior of release, but the price will be the regular MSRP. Nippon-Yasan on the other hand, they might jack up the price more than the MSRP once it's avaiable in stock. But they don't change their initial preorder price if ever there will be some opening before release date. HLJ sticks to their initial preorder price up to when the item gets released then they will offer it in MSRP price. Shipping price varies also. Just to give you idea it just varies $15-20 differences from the grand total of the item and EMS shipping method between shops. And If you want your item to be packed safely compared than bulk orders from HLJ, go with AmiAmi or Nippon-Yasan. Ok, let's say you want your items be packed safely so you decided to order goods from AmiAmi or Nippon-Yasan. But after you receive the item, there's some instances that it comes with snapped broken wing, missing parts and accessories, and so on and so forth. Then you decided to contact them for a possible replacement or credit and whatnot. The only response you will get or common excuse they give is that they can't help customers outside Japan. Now this is where HLJ shines. They can help you whenever you have problems with the item you receive. Whether it's broken or it's missing parts, accessories, etc. Though they can't help you if the only problem you raise is that you receive a dented or scruffed box. They will ask you if the item inside is intact and not damage. And just letting you know that they don't value box. Box is just box to them. Believe me, it's true. In the end, there's no perfect store. For me, what's inside is important, that's why most of the time I choose HLJ so that if ever there's problem on the item, I can always ask them with no worries.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Like F360 said, it's too late to get a VF-31J at launch price. It's either you'll wait for a reissue for you to get that price. The rest it's above MSRP which is Y21600. Unless you'll just stalk Mandarake 24/7 in case one will pop up. Just so you know, the more you're going to hold back, the more chance that the price will just go up. Anyways, good luck on the hunt. Hmmm. For some reasons, Messer's 31F also compliments Hayate's esp if it's using a 31J Super Parts.
  23. I remember there's a FAQ/Question thread pinned before but I can't seem to find it. Quick Questions or General Questions regarding toy is directed there. Anyways, I never had problems with my Gunpod that was left for months in Battroid mode for it to get warped or crooked when it installed back under the arms in Fighter mode. It's very hard to imagine or to visualize what you're saying without a photo. The Gunpod plastic is so sturdy and thick for it to get warped or crooked just by holding it in Battroid mode. I'm assuming you retracted the grip before you mounted it in Fighter mode, correct? Will just wait for a photo so we can understand how it got warped or crooked. Thanks!
