    I think the Dark Ride Armor shown in the final episode was only the VR-052F, and not the T, but that's not to say they won't make both if they dip into one. Some of us suckers (hello) can't help but buy two of each, to display in each mode... (I also hope it didn't come across as rude that I jumped on posting the above pics, rather than just replying with words. I quite literally came across those pics today on my computer while double checking some other images for some add-on pieces I'm 3d printing)

    I'm not worried about them reusing the molds in different color schemes and with different accessories. I also think that's a given. My concern is that those will be convention exclusives going for double the price.

    Infringing on someone else's trademarks/copyrights/other intellectual property rights with your own innovative engineering can lead to an impressive product, but is still wrong. Copying someone else's product (often even just making upscaled molds from their products) is even more wrong. MAAS falls somewhere in the middle, as they create their own designs based on other people's IP, but the engineering is often not even done by them. It's sort of like fan art... it can be done really well, but it still technically infringes... except they sell it and are proud of it.

    I liked this one a lot. Probably the most finicky out of all of the ones CMs made (at least the ones that I personally have; nothing even comes close to pegging properly on this one), but the three dark Ride Armors from CMs were the first I ever bought, so I'll likely always have affection for them.

    Add me in on the Exapnse list. Due to a fair amount of reading and writing during the day, I do tend to be in more of a graphical mood at night, so either read some comics/graphic novels/manga in bed or watch streaming movies/shows/anime, but I'm also steadily working my way through reading the Expanse series. Enjoy it thoroughly, but I do tend to go back and forth on how into it I get. There's a huge backlog of purchased books waiting for me to get around to them...

    Gorgeous work, as always (and even better than usual, because of the subject matter). Everyone remember how Yamato used to do the regular plastic versions (i.e. Priss' Motoslave and the standard Garland) and then would also release more limited "metallic" paint jobs? I think these (especially Yellow's) would look great with that kind of metallic paint.
  8. RavenHawk
    You're referring to the Legioss, not Yellow, right?
  9. RavenHawk
    Stick and Ray had the attachment points for the saddlebags since day one, even though we didn't see them being used until now with Yellow.

    My concern with locking into the arms is that it then requires the arm ratchets to be really tight to give enough support... unless they still ALSO have the standard locking in from underneath the fighter, as other companies have done. We haven't seen the bottom of this fighter yet, but I assume that any potential TLEAD will lock in from the top AND bottom, with probably one of those two locations being where you slide the fighter into position, and then the other point has a lock on a double hinge or something similar to then fold into position.

    Might want to post in the most recently active thread: Started about the various toys coming out, but conversations about the Kickstarter too.

    Seems like their list of "unresponsive" projects keeps growing. Well, their list of projects that, when people ask for updates, they are unresponsive about...
  13. RavenHawk
    My collection is centered around bikes, so I've been doing the 2 of each of the ride armors (fortunately the gf has no idea how much these things cost, or I'd be getting some dirty looks). I was planning on skipping the Legioss... but who am I kidding? It's MOSPEADA, and it's Sentinel (all good experiences with their products so far), so I think I'll get the one blue Legioss, and be done with it. 28,000 yen is a lot of money, though may not be unreasonable for this product. Still, I think you'll see less folks doing multiples, or even one of each color, than with products that manage to stay under the 20,000 yen line.
  14. RavenHawk
    Fair enough. Thanks. I'd never seen it before.

    Two Nihei new releases came in the mail today. Looking forward to re-reading Sidonia in the larger format, and checking out this adaptation of the Blame! anime. I have to say, the Blame! The Electrofishers' Escape is more substantial than I was expecting. For the price, I'm pleasantly surprised.
  16. RavenHawk
    This just sounds so wrong...
  17. RavenHawk
    Looks like Sentinel finally had to design a new stand. I dig it... but, honestly, the prototype kind of looked better to me...
  18. RavenHawk
    Thanks

    All I see on Amazon.jp is the original Amazon price and then AmiAmi selling for their regular price as an Amazon reseller.

    Anyone know what shipping comes out to (preferably for 2) from HS?
  21. RavenHawk
    That makes sense, and I agree that that is a significant difference. From what I remember from the last time that I was shopping around (and I may be misremembering), it was when I was preordering Ray and when I was preordering the Arcadia Garland, more or less around the same time and getting two of each. I ended up going with HLJ on the two Garlands, since I think it saved me like $40 or so. I ended up going with BBTS for the two Rays, since I think it only cost me like $5 or so more but I felt more comfortable with them resolving any issues I might have with defective products, if it ever came up (as happened once years ago). For now, I preordered from BBTS since I have a few other things in my pile of loot that should be coming out right around the same time (fingers crossed), but I'll cancel if one of the other sites offers a significant discount.
  22. RavenHawk
    I don't know that that's always the case. If you order one from BBTS, you pay $4 shipping. If you order 2 or more, you're still only paying the $4 shipping. The Japanese sites (in my admittedly limited experience) rarely had the shipping price not go up as you added more items.
  23. RavenHawk
    Thanks! So, I guess I should just suck it up and pay the fees to get them through an agent.
  24. RavenHawk
    I just can't see how that price is justified. I would think $29.97 (using Walmart's pricing scheme), and then getting discounted from there.
  25. RavenHawk
    Good to know those pics are from that. Thanks. I've been trying to get my hands on this one, plus the two more after it (it was listed on the cover as Vol. 0, and I came across auctions for Vol. 1 and 2).
