How can I pass on an extra Messer PO (I have amiami/HLJ POs) to a fellow board member?
-
It says it's a hasegawa 1/72 0S, probably a model kit.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

awesome display erikos! -
Across the board decrease or just specific ones?

a review's already been done, by forbes even. https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2017/04/01/vf-1s-strike-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijo-custom-toy-review-better-than-any-jetfire/#14fe8c451c4b tldr; It's exactly the same Yamato v2 VF-1 mold apart from the bright white plastic, black hand covers and additional tampo (even the strike parts have additional markings). You can view this as a good or bad thing. Long time collectors of the old Yamato releases, skilled modelers, or anybody who doesn't like double dipping will say this is how it should've been initially reissued by Arcadia. Others without the skill or patience to apply the decals may find it as a worthwhile upgrade to their collection.

lol so much lazy animation for M&M
-
I wonder if the option part body covers will be cast in red/blue as well.
-
Can you do the gunpod-holding one as well? It'd go well with the closed fist.

You can get white DYRL-style hands from kurisama's Shapeways shop IIRC.

3D Model Request - Missile/Ordnance for DX toys
barurutor replied to chyll2's topic in The Workshop!
Those are some expensive missiles, USD20 for 18... not to mention shipping. I'm glad Xigfrid is working on this though, could pick up a set if it turns out nice. The spelling nazi in me is crying at the thread title though...Ordnance not Ordinance -
Most probably the post office couldn't understand the address printed/written by CDJ. Sorry about your predicament.
-
Finally! Hope they do premium finish versions as well. EDIT: so does it mean Arcadia still has SDF:M license for 1/60?

the jungle one is B condition though: Comments: Outer Box damage(moderate) / Discoloration on figure probably may not be worth saving $97 over -
goddamit it showed up as preorder then the cart crashed. now not available.

guess i'll wait for HLJ and N-Y

Part and parcel of being a variety show host.

IMHO the HM-Rs are more playable than the Yamarcadia 1/60s, especially with the enemy mecha. But, if you hate partsforming then 1/60 wins hands down.

katakana in the poster says april fools. done by Exo

Ghost in the Shell Live Action - March 31, 2017
barurutor replied to Mechinyun's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Anyway, I just started re-watching the original 1998 movie and it really could use the sidebars/footnotes from the manga during playback. A direct translation of that story to live-action film would be a critical/financial disaster IMHO. -
Ghost in the Shell Live Action - March 31, 2017
barurutor replied to Mechinyun's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Saw it a few hours ago as well. Liked the homage scenes to the original film and the Robocop storyline was decent enough, though dialogue was a bit 'meh'. Not sure if worth watching again on IMAX 3D though. -
seti88 got it. Fans with constrained budgets are more likely to entertain the notion of maximizing their money's worth on cheaply priced KOs vs. Arcadia releases, all other things relatively equal. I'm sure most members here and on other like-minded forums/groups reading threads like these would probably think twice about getting KOs, but there are probably a lot more people dabbling in these toys than we realize who'd pick up cheap KOs in a heartbeat.
-
Not everyone can afford KOs *and* new releases at the same time, so even if OOP valks are being KO'd and sold for cheap then that's less chance of Arcadia getting collector dollars.
-
^ considering how much effort you put into reviewing these things, does youtube/google adsense pay the effort/hosting/toy bills or anymoon is more a labor of love?

Picked up 2 from amiami. got 2 spartans on PO as well.
