Click & See all pics!

*snip*

NIce pics! You got a different lighting setup now?

I could've sworn it was 5 last time. Or maybe more than 5?

Get more than 5 posts than try again. I think that was the minimum to unlock for the sales section

Wasn't there a custom commander type head unit available on Shapeways or something awhile back? Anyone happen to have a link?

looks like it's still a work in progress.

You would probably like the Phantom Sword paint scheme for the YF-19. The master files books have pretty cool variants.

It's inspired from this book:

The one decent shot shown of the Gerwalk mode of the VF-2SS in Episode 4, section B of the OAV shows the leg intakes way out to the side of the fusealage intakes. More or less position D or fighter position. The shoulders are resting on top of the intakes.

Is there any way to connect the gunpod to the undercarriage? I've seen something that looks like this in a few shots.

Incidentally, I don't think I've seen the fin coming down from the bottom center (slightly to the rear of the cockpit section). I take it that feature doesn't exist on this toy?

It's there. You can see it the undercarriage shots folded between a rectangular piece. I wish that piece was more wedge shape though to blend in with the fuselage instead of a 90 angle.

I think this guy did a pretty good custom with his advance. From his twitter:

I gonna make some weapon effects and put it in this pose.

That'd be a good compromise for fighter mode. Maybe rework the fin area to make it more wedged shaped and start from there. It could unclip so that the stock intakes could be used for gerwalk to keep them inline with the wing section.

Super excited! Exchange rates be damned! Beats what I'd pay before.

Too bad they couldn't figure out a way to make the inner intakes a bit larger to hide the swing bars somehow. Those inner intakes are tiny but I guess that's how it is in the lineart.

Gonna see how it looks panel lined when it comes in.

Almost like Macross Zero then?

I would never trust a site that said it's in stock but shows a release date later.

Almost like Tinkerplay. In fact, I wonder if they just renamed it Thingmaker design and gave it some different features?

Top view looks good. Looking up from the bottom view looks....unfinished. Between the outer intakes where the bars are looks like they stopped and forgot about it.

Edit: If they could somehow figure out a way to hide the bars with a larger inner intakes or something to fill in that area that would improve the look I think.

Hmm, the info on the bottom left corner says 1/60 Lancer II Sale time:TBD Price:TBD. It's a planned unpainted assembly resin kit. It'll be 220mm long, opening cockpit and stand attachment. It'll be the first from Arcadia in this scale as I think the mini SDF-1 needed assembly too or am I mistaken? Mods please move thread to model section if needed.

I was thinking adapter as well. As for landing gear, I don't think it even needs one as it's for space combat and was designed for quick strike then glide back home kinda deal. Maybe it gets grabbed by launch arms for recovery.

Edited 4/11/17: Expected release date May 2017. Price 17064 (including tax) or 15800 tax excluded. Unpainted and unassembled resin kit.

April 30 closing date for pre-orders. Depending on orders it might be shipped after June.

From Wonderfest 2016 Winter. I'm putting this out there as a placeholder for more info and in the hopes that it doesn't turn into vaporware as I would love to see other vehicles made. Also, I noticed it's designed by MEF so maybe if it does sell and gets a good enough support the QF-3000E Ghost and maybe the other 2 hinted (Spartan, Cat's Eye) awhile back might get a chance at release in the distant future.

That antitank version Panhard would be dope. And the Fennek with the observation mast up laying low somewhere would be cool.

Not by Yamato/Arcadia though there were custom ones sold by a fellow MW member DarrinG though he stopped making them.

Info about them:

I'm guessing about $2000 for all variants of the VF-31 and SV-262. Not including supers/extra parts. Spread out over 2-3 years should be manageable.

It's like the drug dealer giving you the starter samples to then get you hooked later on. They're probably showing it with the Fast packs since that's how it was shown in the preview episode. And so that peeps that watched the episode won't be saying "why doesn't the toy look like what I saw in the show?".

It'd probably be previewed or out for sale around Tamashii Nations I'm guessing.
