Well I'm still trying to sell a few items on the SALES board if anyone is interested. an MP Prime and Megs and some RiD Optimus and Scourge. Just barely enough to break me even and get the Macross. So if anyone wants to be a pal and help that'd be awesome lol. Buying the kit just to have a Macross in a different mode is a great idea. Probably the only reason I would even buy a second one just for that. Way to make this even tougher!

Tough decision then. Like I said earlier....I wish the sale would go on thru july and I wouldn't have a problem in getting either or. So Now I'm trying to sell a few more items so I can completely cover the cost. So far I hadn't gotten any offers for he remainder amount. Kidn of hard to buy this thing and be able to afford my girlfriend her Macross themed birthday party. Damn the world.

Ugh well that just makes it a terribly difficult choice. It'd be great if the sale went on for a little bit longer so I could take advantage of the pricing. I wouldn't mind building the bloody thing but at the same time I don't wanna screw it up hmmmmm.....

Hah yeah I hear you, I'd love to assemble that bad ass mutha. But chance are I will NEVER own something like that. I'm not to worried over the decals. I spent 2 days on a 1/2500 Enterprise E with custom decals. Came out WONDERFULLY.

I need some advice. I've been wanting the Macross for a long time now.. to the point I've finally been saving up the money to get it. However 500 dollars is a steep price right? But there's also the Unassembled version that's drastically cheaper, and right now it's even on sale. What I'm curious of is how much of it would need to be additionally painted to match the assembled version? I even heard that the decals are a little more detailed than the assembled variant. But with nearly a 300 dollar difference in price I'm incredibly tempted on this unassembled version. I've gotten a ton better at modeling in just the last few months. And I've heard stories that sometimes there are screws missing in the unassembled kit but don't provide an issue in terms of finishing, that and you don't even need glue in all honestly except in the small bits that you would also have issues with on the assembled version. I want to hear the owners thoughts on both sides. How much more painting would I need to do to finish it? Does anyone have paint codes so I can pick up the proper colors to finish it? Does the huge difference in price really make it worth the building effort?

Not too mention there are people who just don't have these channels like myself.

Okay i got ahold of them, and I figured out why I never got the email, makes sense. Said i should receive one and not to worry or anything. Stock should ship between the 28th and 30th.

Huh that's odd. I didn't get any email from Nippon Yasan. I guess I'll wait and see and after a week or so of people saying there's has been shipped and I still see nothing I'll tell them I want a refund.

Yeah, everything I've come across says the end of the month. After how much I enjoy my YF-29, I'm really looking forward to the 171 now.

I am puking rainbows right now. I got my YF-29 and I just love the bugger. so many gimmicks and I don't have any paint problems or scratches. Very pleased with the figure.

Yep very much looking forward to this pack. Damn it all!

Network providers drop and replace shows all the time, it's common place. The only way you get a specific channel you want is to upgrade your service to something else. Comcast did that recently by removing Spike and Hub off the basic plan and replacing them with Telemondo channels, way to piss me off. I ditched my service but my mother ended up picking it back up and upgrading to an HD plan that got more channels so she could watch Bullriding and I could get the Hub back. This type of game doesn't surprise me.

So it's a bit of necroposting but I did come up with an idea I'd like to share. We know, that the file is password protected, doesn't matter which helmet scheme you pick it's protected. By choosing the no adjustment scale for printing the parts will certainly go over the page and you'll have to come up with clever ways to fix the pep pieces. HOWEVER, by selecting adjust before print when it comes on, 99% of these parts will scale appropriately to the page and yuo wont have really any problems getting everything to fit to the page. I went with this recently and I'm nearly done with my helmet. It's a very tight fit but it does work in realitive scale to the design aspect of the helmet in the anime. It should be a little large and padding will help fix that easily. It's a tight fit to place the helmet over your head and I've come up with a solution to that. I was recently inspired by the designing of the BSG helmets of the new series, there are hinge/sliders at the jaw structure connecting to the chin that slide open giving an extension to the front making it much easier to get a helmet on and off your head. I'm looking for a way to incorporate that into my helmet once the casting is done. Currently I'm still in the pep process but it's going VERY well! I've also decided that this will be divided into 2 portions, the main helmet, and the top visor. Because resin will warp light weight items, I felt I could possibly ruin the top visor if it stayed connected to the main body of the helmet. And if something fails all I have to do is repep the top visor versus the entire helmet.

Digging this more now. Looks like Disney has a win right now.

That was fast.

Been doing some thinking on what I plan on doing should I be able to somehow rip the blu-ray edition of DYRL and optimize the english track. Here's what I'm planning on for hopefully the definitive edition; 1) Optimal Video resolution to match what the Blu-ray will pump out, but try to keep it under 8 gigs. 2) Clean up the English track a bit, add some more effects that went missing, and fix some of the vocal tracks. 3) Redo the Flashback 2012 credit sequence, add in a better credit list that matched the original video. 4) Try to do a Karaoke track for all the minmay sequences. Someone will need to show me how that works though. so volunteers are welcome. Any other suggestions?

Girlfriend and I saw it lastnight.... other than that yeah, wasn't a bad film.

So which super packs are the right ones for the YF-29 if I so choose to get them? Looking around online is very confusing seeing how some sites still sell the YF-29 v.1 then list the packs.

Set myself for very low expectations, very low. And just reminding myself that this is NOT alien. So I might enjoy it tomorrow after work. If my girlfriend feels any better from her stomach bug she MIGHT enjoy it. If she doesn't get better, then I go alone and got no one to converse with.

They've completely taken the Frontier stuff off the list that's been around since February. So doesn't surprise me if you guys been in for a long wait. I think my bank account cleared my echeck (that's just dumb....) with Nippon Yasan so with any luck I should be seeing my stuff as paid and cleared on their website tomorrow.

Ordered mine just recently from there. But it's an uncleared payment. Wont clear till end of the week if I'm lucky. But good thing I decided to pay upfront on it!

I ordered a Durandal and the VF-171 from Nippon Yasan yesterday. But now I'm finding out that Paypal has it listed as Unclear until sometime between Friday and Next Tuesday to clear payment. Truly a disappointment. If I can avoid this place I shall.

No kidding. i just ordered mine for 305 after shipping and even that made me cry. Now I gotta wait for the damn payment clear which could take a week : / damn nippon yasan.

I got a YF-29 from Nippon Yasan and preordered the VF-171. WOOT.

Here's what I want to know, first it says X amount tax included, but when i look at the check out, the tax is almost 30 more dollars. What tax? I'm not a resident of their area. I shouldn't have to be any stinking tax.
