I'll just park this here; because, although not Endgame related, it is Iron Man related... it seemed appropriate enough and IT IS EPIC, and I haven't seen it posted elsewhere...

The Mandalorian - Star Wars webseries from Jon Favreau

I hope this to be good. I expect it not to be... -
The thigh armor is definitely longer, and it appears that the inner frame of the abdomen may be a bit longer too... look at he belly plate's relationship to the chest armor.

This was so much more like it than last night.... wake up, check this page, click on several links, decide which one to go with, add to cart, check out... no muss, no fuss, no drama, no disappointment. I went with Amazon.jp; <20K Yen shipped by DHL.

If you pay in USD, at N-Y's inflated exchange rate, then yes you can use PP credit, which would buy you 6 months to pay, interest free as long as you pay the minimim every month and the entire amount before the grace period runs out, for any amount totaling over $99.00.

Not gonna lie... that looks bitch'n

I got the availability email from N-Y, so I clicked on the link. I looked at the price, laughed heartily, and closed the browser tab. For that price, they can sit on it for all I care; I'll wait and see if AE lists it, or if CDJ or some other reputable vendor reopens POs. What a farce N-Y has been with this thing; first a ticket system that finally lets you win after the item you wish to secure is already sold out, then they conveniently "find" extra supply and add over 10K Yen to their initial price... sheesh!

@Shizuka the Cat: Macross World's newest Super Dimensional Enabler...
-
Man, this is frustrating; just a few minutes AFTER I decided I'd had enough, Amazon.jp open their preorder and I totally miss it. What a total bust... nothing from AE yet, though...
-
Been up over an hour, and when N-Y loads the DX 1A is NOT AVAILABLE. Enough BS, I'm out!

Woke up at 4 am for this and went though pages of shock and disappointment from the majority of folks here. This is a bit depressing, but I though "what the heck, give it a shot".................. ...................... ................................................. My ticket ( what a crock or excrement) was up on N-Y and................... no VF-1A Max in their Macross page. AE still hasn't listed it either.

You DON'T NEED it... but you know you WANT it with every fiber of your being.

Well, I picked up my second copy, purchased with CDJ, at the post office today and I'm happy to report this one has no issues... at least not upon first inspection.

^Why, yes; they did.

@jenius is absolutely right. Although I personally happen to think that both Toynami's recent figures and MEP's efforts are sub par in design and execution, and fall rather flat in the "likeness to character" department, they are leagues beyond the old Harmony Gold/Mathbox abominations; to claim, even tangentially, that they are the same, similar, or not a significant improvement, in any way is pure hyperbole and entirely inaccurate. I get the dislike and dismissal, but lets be honest and give credit where credit is due even if we chose not to support the line(s).

^ And telling someone whose opinion (one entirely based on the actions and reactions of Lucas Films and Disney) differs from your own to "kindly" frakk off, just because you happen to like the excrement sandwiches the House of Mouse has been feeding you, isn't beyond utterly childish???...... ooookayyyy then... Pot meet Kettle. Carry on.

Star Trek III may catch a lot of flak for a lot of its elements and execution, specially anything related to scenes taking place on the --incredibly fake looking -- surface of the Genesis planet. However, that movie is a treasure trove of new, iconic designs that have not only stood the test of time and have had broad appeal to fans young and old, but have never been bested, IMO, by anything that has come later... matched?... sure, but never outdone. The art department in charge of ships designs and the model makers who built them were at the top of their game (The Merchantman, Klingon BoP, U.S.S. Grissom, U.S.S Excelsior, Spacedock, even the Clydesdale Shuttle) in what is the best of the odd numbered TMP era movies.
-
The thing with the Spacedock design is that it's so majestic in its simplicity, making it timeless, and Eaglemoss did an excellent job on their rendition of it. Now I wish that they'll hurry up and make an Orbital Office Complex/Regula One Space Station as well, and maybe even Jupiter Station too.
-
The problem with prototypes that depict something in this late stage of development, as we've seen all too often with many items of our interest (cough... ET's VF-2SS... cough), is that any design flaws or wonky proportions are set in stone... well, steel, actually.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

MW is like an Alcoholics Anonymous Group.... where the members meet not to preach sobriety, but encourage others to give into pure hedonistic indulgence... and I love that! So, drink up! -
Consider it a test of character. Patience is a virtue... a laborious and excruciatingly boring and frustrating virtue.

I got slightly Bandai-ed on the copy I received from Amazon.jp. Whoever the sleep-deprived line monkey who assembled my VF-4 was, he/she/it used two right main body missiles (the ones that swing up from the main fuselage) so that the right side missile sits flush in the down position, but the left side, because the strut is reversed, sits about 1 mm proud of its intended recess; in the great scheme of things, it's a minor thing, but it is still frustrating because once you notice it you cannot help but be acutely aware of it to the point of it becoming a slight, yet nagging, eyesore... I have to display it showing the right side of the fighter so as to keep the "offending" side out of sight. This may be something I could, perhaps, address by disassembling the fuselage, cutting the strut, turning it 180o and cementing it back so that the erroneous right missile's strut's curvature mimics what a correct left strut would've been and give it the correct orientation. I think, however, that I'll wait until I have my copy from CDJ, and it that is perfect, I may just display the gimpy one in battroid, where that issue won't matter. This has had the result of dampening my enthusiasm for this piece considerably.

Got my Amazon.jp copy today as well. That was fast!
