    Does anyone have any links for ordering the new book into the US? I probably have everything except for the Genesis Breaker material in at least 4 other books already, but... I feel like the completist in me will be kicking myself down the road if I skip it. Thanks.

    PM sent. Thanks.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find a reasonably-priced blue Sentinel Legioss? My preorder through Amazon.jp was cancelled by the seller "due to Coronavirus shipping restrictions" a few weeks ago. I assume I'm stuck waiting for a re-issue (hopefully).

    I have all three of these, and they're still on display and still some of my absolute favorites. The core figures aren't really parts-forming, except for the lower fairing/backpack and exhaust becoming a weapon. The parts-forming is mostly storage of weapons and accessories, which I am totally ok with. These are great figures and what got me into 3p.

    Possibly. The 3-d printing is sort of a side gig for me, but my main job is 95% work from home anyway, so the shutdown hasn't really affected me yet. On the other hand, if clients start getting worried about the economy and get nervous about spending money where it isn't absolutely necessary, then yes, I might find myself with some free time there.

    I keep meaning to 3-d print all the various upgrades I've come up with, but even with 6 printers, I never seem to get around to it.

    Still frustrated that by the time I got the metallic Yellow it was too late to send away for the special box and parts.

    Love it. Too bad I haven't been able to get my hands on any Rideback items other than the original manga.

    During my engineering days, I sometimes did like materials with like, but sometimes dissimilar made more sense. if you knew that there was going to be wear, but one part was easier to replace when it wore out than the other, then you made that part out of the weaker material. Not saying that's the case here, but that was the theory. Of course, other times, it's just cost. You want to make parts plastic, but it financially makes sense to use off the shelf metal pins, so you use those with plastic surrounding them.

    I'm very happy with the Arcadia one. Honestly, I like all of the others too, but don't think they're worth it unless you get a really REALLY good discount off the asking price. The Arcadia is, in my opinion, worth what they ask (considering the niche market, of course).

    Sadly, life has been keeping me pretty busy lately. Still watching the threads though, just not buying as much fun stuff...

    Heads up, all: The windshield is BARELY supported in there, but is retained by a thin enough piece where, if not aligned perfectly when transforming, the tab holding it in breaks off. Supergluing now...

    Well, looks like DHL lied about that Monday delivery... because both my Yellows just showed up.
  14. RavenHawk
    DHL says my Yellows should be delivered on Monday. Definitely looking forward to this.

    I have to say, this is looking like a much more robust design than I was expecting. I'm actually a bit impressed.
  16. RavenHawk
    That's probably why.

    Read Furman's Transformers: Re:Generation One (or whatever it was called... from like 5 years ago, when he continued his original run from the Marvel TF at IDW, as opposed to his early world-building IDW stuff). He's been phoning in garbage for a while now.

    This isn't the Arcadia one, right? I thought that the Arcadia one was pretty much ready to go at this point.

    Reaching into the past a bit here: I absolutely adore my Toyworld not-Throttlebots. I seem to recall a ways back seeing some recolors of them, though I don't recall if they were Toyworld of some company knocking off their molds in a different color. I've been looking for them again with no luck. Does anyone remember them? Specifically, a recolor of Aurora (the Range Rover Evoque)? Thanks.
  20. RavenHawk
    I assumed they were going for equivalents of G, H, I and just, you know, without the internet to handily look things up, misremembered.

    The ship, character names, and scenario (machines revolting after evolving from protoculture) are from Robotech 3000. the armor is straight-up HALO. Honestly, I don't have an issue with the RT 3000 reference (though, not having read the comic, I might feel different in context). If (and it's a big IF) you're a serious RT fan, I'm sure you'd love this kind of a reference. It would be like reading a Doctor Who comic and seeing a reference to K9 & Company. We have to remember that most of us on this forum are NOT the target audience of this comic. It's meant for new kids who don't know any better, and people who log in to the Robotech.com forums and type in all caps.

    All the other junk aside (including the HALO rip-off), I actually kinda dig the slight Invid redesign here. Fits in with Sentinel's ride armors.

    So, if we assume that feet, angles, perspective, etc., aren't the point of this, but the line showing where the top of any given character is what matters for showing relative heights (at least that was the point many many many years ago in my drafting days)... This suggests that the cute little baby crab is barely taller than the Enforcer (embarassingly brain-fried on the correct names at the moment) or the armored-up rider... maybe a quarter meter at most... likely more like 6" (yay, I'm mixing units). Definitely not how I always pictured them, despite having looked at these drawings for year.
  24. RavenHawk
    That drawing was from no3Ljm's post earlier, so not sure where it originally came from. I do feel like I've seen it multiple times before, including in some of the books on my shelf... just too lazy to look now. As to the lines being way off... I agree with you, and that's why I posted my comment. Just something I honestly never really paid attention to, up until I saw that post today. As for scaling of figures, to me it just really matters how I put them on my shelf, and that's based on the size of the human that I picture being inside the armor/vehicle/mech.
  25. RavenHawk
    I don't know if I ever noticed just how close that 2m line is to the 3m before... Or how off the riders are, relative to the 2m, from the heights that I always pictured them in my head, with the boots and leg extensions.
