2nd order confirmed from elsewhere. 2 places worked for me. I'll probably be getting rid of one and just keeping one when time gets close. If anyone missed out, I'll gladly offer it to anyone who missed out at what I payed for it with shipping and all.
-
I got one. Finally, after years and years of having to pay the weeks after and super high prices, I'm finally in the clear. Damn computer started slowing down right before, too, so I reloaded about 15 seconds before midnight, and lucky to say that that worked. I got mine from amiami.

I thought HLJ had a place holder, but I don't see one.

14 minutes.... Now 13

NY always seems to be a late comer anyways, and I use them as last resort. I'm not too worried about that.
-
I want to get in while they're at their lowest, but honestly, I'm sure we'll all be able to get one if we don't right away. They're usually available afterward with NY, or one of other places. I have my spot to get one, so I'll be checking there first.

Is there a plugin anyone uses to notify a change on a link?
-
Thank God I don't have to work the next day, or I'd most likely just miss the preorder. Is there any sort of time given? Sorry if it's been answered. I haven't been in here in a very long time.
-
Awesome. I'm gonna get one eventually. I know the price of parts there, so I'll probably have to do it in sections at a time. Thanks for making it available.
-
It's available on your Shapeways?
-
I'm happy about these. I'm not big on the Nendoroid line, but there are a few good things that do come out of the seemingly millions they do. This, along with the May'n version, will be some of those good things.
-
It's a little too cool of a blue and need a lighter grey in there to make it not contrast so much. I don't remember what the animation color came out to, but from what I remember my reaction being, it was pretty damn nice looking. I'd be happy with it being more grey than blue.

I'm trying to find out if I need to sell my Max super 1J soon or not.
-
I'll make it quick. I'm still painting and recasting. I'm also getting someone else to help with the painting for the weekend, but after that, I'll be back to myself doing it. New clear resin that's easy to recast came in today, so that will be the stuff I use.

Macross World Podcast - feedback & comments
Jasonc replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
Just listened to it. Great show. There were a few things I have a different take on, but overall, I like the difference in opinions on this one. If they weren't done before, the triangle of Mirage/Freyja/Hayate is now quite openly shown. I did feel kinda sad for Mirage, but like in many Macross series (well, almost all of them), the triangle gets pulled in both directions to each competitor's advantage. also, I think the way the timing was set for both Arad and Kaname, it's a typical trope in many various romantic shows, not just anime, where it shows that both people involved like each other. I think this was something going on for awhile between the two, but never came to fruition due to Messer. I think maybe both felt they needed to protect him. For Arad, it was more about keeping him focused on being the pilot he needed to be despite the Var, and for Kaname, keeping that "Idol reputation" for Messer, who was influenced by her music. Now, if there's going to be a triangle there, it's going to be Arad, Kaname, and Messer's memory perhaps??? Great show again. -
There will be an official announcement with more details coming very soon. As for that date, mark that one down.

Thanks for all the input. I'm planning on using this as a base to remake the Platypus that I made several years ago, but this time, with all the right parts, and instead of using styrene and bondo, using CAD files with the right panel lines and the sort. The system I built for it actually works where the nose rotates, so I'd like to implement it into a proper, well made system.
-
Is that what it sold at? I got this one for about $100 and some change, but I have no other references to price it at. I can only really guess, being that the 1S, A, and J have sold for almost $200 at times. Being that this was a much smaller run, I have no clue if this would really make it a higher price, especially since the parts are in the 1st episode trainer colors. I'm debating whether to work on something completely different with this, or just keep in box until another light bulb goes off on what to do with this. I don't really need a 3rd 1D in the same colors, but if I decide against doing anything with it, I hope to have a reference selling point.
-
OK guys. I have a VF-1D unassembled kit, and I'm trying to figure out what it's worth. It's in the original packaging and all that, with all the parts. I'm not really looking to sell it but I'm curious if anyone knows how much they go for? If I see another one, I'd like to get one, but I don't want to walk into something that's way too overpriced. The problem is, I haven't seen any for sale since I got mine over a year ago (partially because I wasn't looking). Thanks for your help.
-
I almost forgot about this. Were these ever redone and finished? I'd like to get a set of both.

I started painting a couple pieces over the weekend that were ready for paint. I'm not liking the color of the paint, as it seems to be more of a dull, cooler orange than I had expected. I have 3 new bottles coming in that I know are much better, just need to put them in a larger bottle with a slight addition of red. The alternative is getting the Tamiya orange in the can, which is the color I'd like to go for. I may just do that though, and if anyone needs to do repairs or wants to customize more, they'll easily be able to find the color. As for the smaller parts that require different colors, those will be getting the airbrush, as I can get a little technical in making sure those don't get overdone, or too heavy. As for the cleaup, this is where the time is all going. These are decent pieces, but they still require some patch work, some evening out with other sides, and so on. I'm gonna do my absolute best to make these look perfect, but at some point, I need to really draw a line, or I will never get these done. It is a one man operation. There's already been some people who can't wait, so I'm working on those first and as fast as possible without sacrificing my work, rest, and family time. To those who can wait, I appreciate it. Your waiting will not go in vain. I will have the process of cleanup and painting all these perfected, and it should be a nice piece for everyone. Of course, as with other large projects, I'm not going to have the time to weather these, and he decals will be all you. If I could, I'd give each one of these the personal touch of my own projects, which take awhile, but I hope that doesn't worry you. These will look great with all the other Macross Plus items that preceded it in the toy lines.

I am actively prepping parts for paint, so I'm actually doing that as I type.
-
Small update today. parts are still coming out, and I'm focusing on prepping the finished ones for painting. I'll be recasting more of the wings, tail fins, and the clear parts as needed, but I may have a better way of making clear parts for , so until I see if it works reasonably, those are getting made as well. Other than that, They're getting closer.

Anime Expo. July 1st-4th, 2016.
Jasonc replied to UN Spacy's topic in Conventions and Local Gatherings
Yes Gubaba was at Satelight's booth. As for those wanting a rundown of the panel, Mazinger pretty much covered the content. There will be some sort of article on the panel coming soon somewhere, and of course, a full podcast on the events of AX coming shortly. It was a great time for me, and from those that I met throughout. -
I fitted one together last night while packing the unpainted ones up. They look damn cool. I can't wait to finally get to put one together for myself.
