Why does Bandai have such a problem with letting people buy their crap?
-
Oh yeah definitely like the bigger Hasegawa Regult next to the HMR VF-1.
-
Great you made me order one. How big is it next to the HMR Regult?
-
Bandai would rather make far too few toys to meet demand and miss out on potential revenue than risk even one unit sitting on the shelf.
-
Ep4 was good. So far season 3 is way better than the previous seasons, though that's an extremely low bar. Remains to be seen whether any of these story threads lead anywhere interesting. Actually liking Captain Shaw a lot.
-
Yeah I regret not getting a YF-19 and YF-21 pair.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

I was thinking about this. You know how when you blow up an image it becomes blurry/pixelated because the data and resolution is still at whatever smaller image size it was originally? Well, somehow Bandai managed to reverse the process and lose image fidelity by scaling down. 😁 -
Isn't it some crazy acronym?
-
I put in an order for a couple of stands. Hope they're as good as Yeti!
-
Got a link to their page? I'm willing to give them a try. Need more stands, and particularly need more 3D printed stand adapters.

Ask your doctor which valkyrie product line* is right for you. *Side effects may include anxiety, insomnia, bouts of rage, and sudden wallet weight loss. (Hmmm is Bandai slowly reverting back to the straight chest stripes?)

Why Macross merchandises (toys) are relatively expensive?
Lolicon replied to Vintage Fanboy's topic in Toys
I plan on having my body and my valkyrie collection shot out into the infinite void of space where, after eons in the vacuum of space (which should preserve my body and collection) it will eventually crash land on some backwater planet. The inhabitants of said planet will, hopefully, be inspired by this find to build real transforming valkyries and ships and spread out among the stars, eventually finding their way to the ruins of our world. 😁 -
Looks badass!
-
I'm glad the swappable wing implementation was done much better on the HMR line than the awful 171 wings. Then again, the swapping wing gimmick on the 171 was just a cynical move by Bandai to force people to buy another armor set.

I used some of these third party decals... Er I tried posting the url from ebay but it was stupid long. Just go to eBay and search "Macross decal" and it'll come up with a bunch of decal sets. Some of the decals are Yamato sticker sheets I scanned and scaled down and printed myself. Yeah in general the HMR line really looks cheap, at least when it comes to the transforming stuff. Bandai making us pay Metal Robot Spirits prices for regular Robot Spirits quality. -

You could but you would have to remove the wheels, and I'm not sure they come off easily. I didn't bother since the silver is at least closer to white than the bare diecast on the DX line, so I just let it be. Don't feel like putting that much effort into an HMR. -
That seems to be the norm for the physical Tamashii store exclusives. Here's the Gundam I picked up from the shop last year.

Better than Arcadia, eh? Thanks! I'm sure @Chronocidal will appreciate that the landing gear parts are molded in white then painted the wrong color. -

Fixed up the HMR VF-1S a bit. Gotta fix up the super parts next. Some quick phone pics. Compared to Arcadia
-
Thanks. It was just a quick and fun weekend project. Being the most iconic Macross aircraft I thought it deserved better than Robot Spirits level of (lack of) detail and it needed to be Metal Robot Spirits level.
-
Discovery getting canned after this season? I've never heard of such a shocking injustice that I cared so little about!
-
Fixed another of Bandai's QC screwups.
-
That's 1/48 DX VF-1 pricing. Bleh.
