What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Sandman replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If Bandai can drop the ball with Gundam, there's pretty much no hope for Scrapped Princess. -
If you have the original rubber tipped ones i'd be interested in picking them up. The newer ones not so much...
-
I wouldn't buy any. The risk of damage is too great for a $10 stand. Right now i'm using gundam action stands with the adapter EXO made. Works great with the YF-19.
-
They will definitely be trying to piggy back on the success of the Transformer movies. When the first TF movie came out is when talk about a live action RT movie got "serious". The movie more likely use Rick Hunter and all the rest of the macross characters like EXO said. The story will be heavily reworked IMO to avoid legal issues. I doubt it will ever come out. They missed their window of opportunity This movie should have come out back in 2008-9 to capitalize the 80s nostalgia that was happening to to the success of the first TF movie. Even then chances of success would be in question (Gijoe for example).

Yes a new vf-0s and a would be awesome. Mainly because i could buy them at a reasonable price.
-
Yeah i miss the tampo too. I hate using stickers. I've only ever applied the skull stickers for the vf-1's fast packs.
-
I wouldn't mind more 1/48 stuff but like Jenius said i think the price point would be way more expensive even if they didn't include all the bell and whistles.
-
The sound booster looks akward in fighter mode. It only looks good in battroid mode IMO. I don't think we every say the Kai have it attached in fighter mode?
-
I know the camo sold really bad but i'm surprised that the stealth didn't sell well.
-
I've been watching RD since the beginning. I'm surprised by the big 4 year gap between series VI and VII. Interesting enough this is where the series i think started going off the rails for me. Though i seem to be in the small minority that loves series VIII.
-
That figures. It was pretty obvious they were overcharging shipping especially considering the cut down recycled boxes. Seriously i think they would've sold more if they didn't charge so much for shipping. I probably would've bought another. N-Y quality of service has been slowly going down hill. My vf-171 came in with a missing part (not their fault but the way they choose to handle it was ridiculous). My vf-25G came with the shipping box punctured in the centre. The hole went through the toy box but didn't damage the toy. Still i expected to give me $20 off since i don't have a MSIB vf-25g anymore or even a coupon for my next purchase. Nope, never replied after my second email with the requested pics they asked for. Unfortunately they have us by the balls as they are the only place to get bandai valks without resorting to ebay scalpers. If that situation changes be sure i will stop ordering from them.
-
Not to split hairs, but he doesn't really say that they were sold in lots of 10 only that they could have. Unless he releases the sales info (which he won't) we don't know if 100 people bought 100 valks or 10 people bought 10 each or any number in between. I guess it will depend on how many suddenly appear on ebay?
-
Interesting. I never seem to hear any chatter about when pre-orders go up and i generally surf the sites/blogs a lot. So the general rule with Bandai releases are pre-orders are taken 4 months prior to the release date?
-
I'm hoping it's a light year from Yamato. Surprisingly Bandai is going to keep me busy this year again. Already plan on getting the VF-171, RVF-25, YF-29 30th, VF-27&yf-29 super parts and possibly VF-171 armour parts.
-
Sorry if this has been asked already but i couldn't seem to find any topics on this with the search function. I have to put together the 2 sides of the shoulder on my vf-1s. What is the best glue to use? And what the ones i need to stay away from (eg glues that will melt the plastic)?
-
Cool. I picked one up right away because i was afraid once sold out it'd be gone until the next reissue (if ever). If only they would do the same for the vf-0s.
-
I'm not arguing that this isn't what happened but i have to say that logic seems flimsy to me. I agree with Mommar example of the vf-x release.
-
Someone packed one of my orders with trash as well. I wish i could remember who it was now.
-
YF-29 is still a go. The VF-171 was probably being ordered in the 3s.
-
LOL! I've been watching the user list since the preorder open. Within 5 minutes it doubled. People must have their browser website scanners set up.
-
I actually paid $300 back in Oct for this. Slapping myself now.
-
Wow still up. Luckily i'm not a greedy guy or i'd grabbing some more. LOL!
