  1. So, I got home from work today to a case of the crabs... a blueberry space crab, that is. Seeing all the parts in a picture in a thread does not do this monster justice... it is massive! Capt'n, will you be posting instructions like you did for the Gurab? Edit: And more thing, John... no rest for you; time to get started on a Ligaa. Or Gosu; I'm flexible...
  2. 20 minutes later and it's still available. I guess that anyone who wants one at HLJ's asking price, and more than competitive shipping rates, should be able to secure one. Edit: Here's hoping this trend will repeat itself with the YF-30 when that gets close to release.
  3. Got it preordered with HLJ. I can wait...
  4. The quality/formulation of the ABS, and other plastics, used, and their pigmentation, are the determining factors in their reactivity to UV light and Oxygen. My V1 VF-1A DYRL Kikaru yellowed just stored in a totally dark drawer... the bleached white grade of ABS Yamato used on that toy was horrendous.
  5. The thread post was an obvious payment request, but I was going to wait until after April, regardless. And with that being said, payment has been issued. King Crabulon von Gurab awaits his Prime Minister: Gamo the Enforcer...
  6. Missed it all; oh well, I'll wait to see if this is available upon release.
  7. Not me; I've stepped away from my computer to take care of other business just before every preorder reopen on N-Y... I keep checking and refreshing obsessively for 30 min - 1 hour or more and nothing, then I need to go do something and when I get back and check, be it 3 min, 10 min, 30 min, or whatever later, it's passed me by again; and now they've officially reached a price point I am not willing to pay.
  8. Late to the party again...
  9. Total bust for me. I'll wait for HLJ, preorder reopening somewhere else, or after release stock. I want a YF-30, but I'm not going to sweat over it. Edit: and dang it for this site going dead at just the most inopportune time...
  10. It's a Pavlovian response... I can relate.
  11. Were we in the 1940's, the CFT equipped Typhon would likely be nicknamed the Mae West, perhaps?
  12. Ligaa, Ligaa, Ligaa, Ligaa,... and booster pack, sold separately... Pretty please, with money on top?... A Gosu would be nice too, but I'd like for the grunt mecha to be out of the way first.
  13. Kind of tough to touch the new YF-30 from half a world away... But if antibiotictab can make it to the event, we can all enjoy it, vicariously, through him.
  14. Gotta love those well shaped axes...
  15. That's the Nadesico, from Martian Successor Nadesico.
  16. For some odd reason, the voice actor for Star Blazers' Deslock, Eddie Allen, made the character sound remarkably like Roddy McDowall... which made the portrayal even cooler.
  17. It's amazing and amusing that the price for the RVF add-on parts have far outstripped the current value of the Valk on which they're supposed to mount.
  18. Beware the giant LEGO brick......................... of DOOM!
  19. She IS full cast-off, but I doubt she's rendered in "full fidelity"; after all, she's not from GIGA Pulse or something. I guess I'll find out once I get my copy.
  20. Regarding a VF-11B/C reissue. What would be cool is if Arcadia invested in new tooling for the wings so that their version had integral hard points, and include some ordnance along with it, if they did decide to release the 11 under their banner; maybe also reengineer the upper arms to be double hinged like the VF-1 V2 for added range of motion. Otherwise, Yamato's VF-11 was damned near perfect. Arcadia could handle such a release in the same way they did the YF-19 to avoid the same fate that befell Yamato's version; and this time, also put out some VF-X, etc., schemes.
