Sweet. Any chance of seeing Sentinel there? Two more weeks until Summer Wonderfest in Japan. They might have something to show, but I'm not counting on it.
-
Yeah, sorta. Use the 'Live Chat' box at the bottom right of the screen to talk to a rep and request cancellation. From what I've read there is less chance of them blacklisting you if you use chat instead of emailing them...
-
Hard to say. It's been delayed on a monthly basis since March.
-
Yeah, namely Jim, Mint and Aisha. I'm not that interested in unarmored, normal clothes versions of you tho...
-
As opposed to just the head? Or a different color...

I dabble in 3D printing, but find it difficult to dedicate the time. I was looking at the Scout/Eigah, but decided to tackle a Shocktrooper/Graub first... That's a raw (removed raft and supports) two part 3D FDM print (40 micron layer Z-height) using a 0.2 nozzle (instead of default 0.4) with PLA filament. I didn't smooth the outer edge enough in 3D, thus the faceting. I think the Z layers and rough edges will mostly clean up with minimal sanding, possibly the faceting too - either way it's still very much a WIP. I've modelled the lens too, but would need to use Shapeways to clear print it, or FDM print and recast in clear resin (difficult as it's really thin and curved).
-
Nice add-one. Although I'm not sure why saddle bags would have what look like air-vents... Heh, I started doing the Rey bazooka too. It's possible, with some fine tuning (like a 0.2 nozzle), to get good results with a budget FDM printer. But you're quite right, a decent SLA would be more appropriate. Otherwise making the parts available through Shapeways as high detail materials could be a viable option for most people here.

In addition to what has been mentioned already, the Blowsperior and Bartley had a different engine block to the MOSPEADAs. The characther heights would need to match, otherwise the bike dimentions would need to be altered. What im curious about is if the female and male armor are compatible with other ride armors... A red female Blowsperior would be sweet.

Did HLJ (or whoever you ordered from) sort out your missing heel piece?
-
Thanks. I posted here as I sorta remember someone posting it in the VF-19A thread... Many thanks! He saved thousands of lives...
-
For Isamu's VF-19A appearance in Frontier Movie, is there a canon backstory for it? i thought there was one involving Isamu wanting to get back into flying again years after the events of Macross Plus...

Dependis on your credit card provider. There should be a clause for 'delayed delivery goods' which can allow up to 540 days for delivery. So, if NY refuse to refund you, take all the communication and information to your credit card company to begin a dispute, you should phone them for info first. It is important to make it clear that the purchase was for 'delayed delivery goods' which is what we commonly refer to a a 'preorder'.
-
What payment method did you use for PayPal? If a linked credit card you can force a refund. If you used a linked bank account or PayPal funds you could be out of luck...
-
Have you sent an inquiry to Sentinel Direct? There is the Golden Week holiday period to consider too. I paid HLJ last Thursday, requested/paid PW shipping Friday and they shipped this morning (Tuesday).
-
Nice work. Realistically, to 3D print tiny weapons like these you'd need a good SLA (resin) printer. Even then you might be struggling. Most people use FDM (plastic) so they can make larger models instead.
-
Okay, cool. Yeah, release date was yesterday. Sentinel announced it on Twitter a few weeks ago.
-
Aren't Japanese names genderless..?
-
T-REX basically engineer the transforming toys for Sentinel and Arcadia, so I suspect the result would be similar. They also did the Beagle Ride Armors and Yamato third generation Valkyries. Supposedly the VF-171 for Bandai too...
-
Mostly yes, although the original Beagle Stick was really loose. It was rectified for the Rey and Toynami releases. The Beagle isn't fragile for a masterpiece style, ages 15+ toy, so to that end it is very sturdy.
-
Very nice collection there Tubes78, but that pic above... something seems off... HLJ has just changed their stock status to 'Discontinued'. Expecting auto-billing in 8 hours. /
-
I think he meant the saddle packs on the back of the bike. They could be the T-REX Wonderfest exclusives.
-
Could well be a tease if these are selling well and what Jenius said about Sentinel wanting to explore different bikes. That Blowsperior is an update - the cowling, sabers and, yeah, mudguard are updated
-
It would just need approval from the rights holder, be it Aramaki, Artmic or Tatsunoko. For all we know Aramaki may have new designs for the Blowsperior and Bartley variants. Nice spot Capt.
-
HLJ jumped from end of April to end of May when the month changed. It's also available there again if anyone's interested. The Amazon Japan release date is usually a lot more accurate. Is the Sentinel Rey ride armor still scheduled for release tomorrow?
-
Is there any news of the Evolution Toys ZETA Legioss being released? It was scheduled for April... Awesome! Thanks.
