WOW! I really wish for an unlimited supply of cash. Hahaha!

Actually I'm not. But in all honesty, I'm somehow disappointed. Seeing those promotional pictures at first from months ago, you can tell that it's a cool-looking Battroid figure. Only to find out a month prior of its release date they will show that 'hey, by the way, you also need to put this support bracket as well.' So from that illusion, it kinda destroyed the concept of how good or cool-looking the Battroid was from the promo pix. Yes, using it will help a lot. BUT wouldn't be nice if they already show that at first so everyone has ideas somehow how the Battroid WILL really look like after we purchased it. What bothers me the most is Bandai should have learned a thing or two from Yamato. Bandai somehow already copied the transformation sequence on the VF-19 Hi-Metal, why they couldn't copy how Yamato's VF-4G nosecone and cockpit block locks together? I'm sure a folding white joint peg under the nosecone is possible but I'm not sure why they just ignored it. I remember this was promoted like it's a new 'simplified-transformation' sequence. But never announced that there will be a supporting add-on part. It's really is a mixed feeling from other members since some members here wants something perfect in transformation with no removing big or swapping important parts. And some is just content on what they're going to get. Count me as one of the latter. I'm still glad that they did add that thing to support it. But disappointed since I was fooled again by their marketing strategy. This time I really wish that the support bracket part will not look out of place or out of design when it placed on the Battroid. I don't want to see some plastic bar that looks like just a normal display stand adaptors. If it's going to add some added designs to the side of the Battroid, then I'm going to be happy. I just remembered how everyone was so intense during the P.O. stages, and look where we are now... half-excited and half-dissapointed already. And the figure is NOT even released yet. Anyways, that's just my two cents.

Nah. Sorry about that, Saburo. I'm just throwing a sarcastic remark on them for the final 'black' support parts since what they've shown on the instruction video was purple-colored ones. Hahaha! I guess, from what you've read and thinking that it WAS from them, it shows that we've been FOOLED again by Bandai. Hahaha! By the way, you're welcome. Sure you're not gonna transform it not even once for your amusement esp since it has a different transformation sequence?

Thanks Mommar! Thought it slipped me since I need an extra Fold Booster soon. Hehehe.

Nice. Btw, are they scaled with each other? Not so familiar with Zentradi figs. Thanks! -
Ok, so I rewatched again the video from antibiotictab with fresh-rested eyes. Just to confirm, heck, to convince myself if the Battroid Support Parts is necessarily to use or just an added option part, well, to pretty hold everything in place. OR worst if it's just a late-added part or an afterthought when they noticed that the nosecone will not hold in place. And here's what I've noticed: After seeing it and thinking about it, I'm still glad that Bandai did something before the product is released. Even if this is an afterthought or late-added option, I'm still glad they did even if it's kinda let down. Since I'm paying for an expensive toy, I just want it to be perfect, but hey, as life have thought me... there's nothing perfect in this world. By the way, I'm still looking forward to see what kind of Option Parts they will offer soon.

Wait, did they announce that they will re-release it again? I might have missed that.

Great pictures, Falcon18. Did you put topcoat on it after you panel lined it? -
Macross: Do You Remember Love's 30th Anniversary
no3Ljm replied to UN Spacy's topic in Movies and TV Series
Japan 1984. When it was released on laser disc after its theatrical run, we asked the local video shop rental to make us a 'betamax' copy. It's the first time I'm going to see it since we missed the theatrical run a month or two. But I remember that summer I keep on seeing on the TV the trailer and the commercials. Minmay. Macross. Su-pi-do (Speed). After watching it, I fell in love with Minmay immediately. And hate Hikaru at first for choosing Misa. But in the end, I was just 9 back then so the whole love triangle kinda new to me. But seeing those cool animated Valks in action... it was heaven for me. -
Great shots!
-
Invisible strings! Great display, Gakken85!
-
Yup, no box also on the 1J CF. It was on the Q&A part of the listing.
-
I feel you guys. I now have doubts too but I'm still excited to see this in person. I guess, if I were to play with it during Battroid mode, then I have to put the back bracket. But if I will just display in Battroid mode standing up, then I guess it's fine that the torso is resting in place above the canopy. It's still felt kinda a bad engineered toy regarding the torso/canopy part but atleast Bandai tried to fix their problem by adding the bracket. Assuming that IT IS neglected during designing process. Otherwise, if we got those valks without the brackets and figured out the problem afterwards then we will just starting to bad mouth Bandai once again. Hehehe. I guess, the wait and see games starts... now.
-
Nice.
-
I'm just guessing here. Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe the 1J CF class are the squadron or platoon leader for the 1A CF's. Whereas the white or colored 1J's are higher ranked than their 1J CF leader counterparts.
-
Nice. Can you show me a screen capture of the 599XX that you were working on? You got me curious. Hehehe.
-
Sad to say, you have to pay the full price for both orders. From NY's Pre-Orders page:

Thanks Seto. Atleast I don't need to look forward or get too excited on the other valks now, hoping on unlocking them at first. Hehehe. Anyways, in fairness, I do like the game. Reminds me of the games I played via their PSP releases. But this time, I get to play it on a bigger screen.
-
I see. Thought at first that all the Valks from all the series will be included here for celebrating their hyped 30th Anniv celebration. It's a bummer since some of their old PSP games featured those awkward looking valks. Hehehe.
-
Finally unlocked the Double Strike Packs. Loving it. By the way does this game features the VF-4G for the latter chapters?
-
Nice pic!
-
I think you're right. Sorry Saburo for the color change. But it really looks like a Ferrari Valk, doesn't it?
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Great purchases everyone! Love the chest and hips on that fig, anime52k8. Nice VF-1S Hi-Metal, connor99. Hope to get one soon for my boy. I like Galvatron too, Bahamutzyro. How's Maniaking, btw? How's the quality on those third party Transformers toys? Are they really worth it for their MSRP prices? Thanks! -
I love this shot! It looks more bad-a$$ looking than Alto's Durandal. Makes me really want one now. Bandai please release Mei's custom color VF-27y and reissue Ozma's 25S and I will forgive you for the YF-30 Battroid support bracket. Hahaha! Saburo, are you sure you don't put wax coat on your Frontier babies? They look so 'shiny'. So shiny it rivals Char's red mobile suits. Hehehe.
