Lost in Space series a Netflix adventure?
Sandman replied to 007-vf1's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm intrigued by this new series. I liked the original show but not a fan that's going to care about what they change. I'll watch it and hope it is good. -
I never believed vf-1 pricing is why Yamato went out of business. To me a major factor was Bandai. When Bandai started offering a comparable product (renewals) and made them hard to get (preorder madness) it changed the game. People started getting Bandai DXs on preorder night and waited on Yamato releases (sometimes till they were marked down) because they were always available after release.
-
Are you speaking about all Yamato vf-1 valks or just the max and Mireya? I have almost all of them and never noticed this issue. However I don't have the max and mirya. I also don't use the missles that often either.
-
I think they are but it depends on the person. I'm a huge fan and I bought both these and the Cosmic Fleet of both ships. That is probably excessive since both lines are comparable in price and cater to same idea, a nice desktop display piece. The KT are bigger and have light up features (the windows, engines and wmg) that give it a nice look. I usually don't care about light up stuff but it's actually implemented pretty decent here and enhances the look of the ships IMO. Im not sure how playable these are. I don't usually play with ships myself. I usually just use them as a display piece. The turrets are articulated though so you can position those.
-
I have them. They are similar to the cosmic fleet releases but not the same. There is a size difference . These also light up if you care about that. Here is quick and dirty rough pics.

What is the criteria used to justify pro bono work?
-
I don't have any real insight into this situation but I would guess they want Palladium to answer for what they did in some way. Not necessarily monetary but something on record at least.

A little too rich for my blood. No offense to you as you are justified selling at market price. I'm just annoyed that I can't easily secure one at retail price and don't feel like I should have to pay the crazy mark up because I couldn't win a lottery. It's really souring me on the hobby right now. Imagine if they did that for frontier with the yf-29. That would have sucked. A year ago I probably would have just paid the mark up (i paid $300 for the focker yf-29 back when it first came out - way overpriced for even now) but since then my disposable income has been greatly swallowed up by my kid's needs. Also, the USD to CAD exchange is so bad that it's not worth ordering from US sellers. So I can't justify doing this anymore. If I can't even complete delta squad I will probably use this as an excuse to quit collecting. After at least 8 years of these crazy per-order nights and now this lottery scheme, I'm tired. I hate having to plan my life around pre-order nights. I'm so busy I can't even remember what day a preorder night is or even that there was a preorder. The situation with the Kai really bums me out. I know it's just a toy but it has negatively affected me in regards to how I feel about this hobby. Last night I realized I probably won't ever own a kai unless I pay close to ($450-500 CAD) with it only getting worse the longer I wait. I find that I'm coming to the forum less and less these days because subconsciously I don't want to be reminded about missing out on the kai. Anyway sorry about the rant. Just need to vent I guess. Feels kind of good to get it off my chest.

Yeah i’m Super bummed about the kai. I haven’t missed a Bandai release since the renewal vf-25f. If I don’t get one and can’t complete my collection I think it will give me impetus to bow out of this hobby. I’m tired of how hard they make it to obtain this’ll stuff.
-
Argh. I didn’t win the lotto for the kai. Between this and missing the 31s preorder., not having any luck.

Have you watched Jenuis's transformation guide/video? Is it done correctly in that video? I haven't transformed my 171 in years. I plan on transforming one of them soon and i'll have to use the video as a guide again since it been so long. I just want to make sure I don't break the legs.
-
Any 31Ss available for preorder with no payment up front anywhere?
-
crap. For some reason, i thought this preorder was tonight. I missed it completely. ARghhhhhhhh.
-
Wow! That's really unbelievable how badly planned that was. Palladium I has always been a sloppily run company. Makes sense since HG hasn't ever been able to get robotech sequels off the ground. Why would they pick a good lisencee. I bet HG ended the licence to end the constant bad press of this kickstarter. It sad that Palladium kept quiet about loosing the licence knowing they wouldn't be able to fulfill the rewards. They really deserve to be sued. Its really a shame to see them go down that path. I really ended their rpg back in the 80s when it first came out despite its problem. Even as a kid I could tell those books had some made up and questionable info but i ignored it since there was not many licenced rt/macros products that wasn't toys. Is there any links to articles about backers taking them to court?

What was the issue with this kickstarter? Why aren't they've able to fulfill their obligations?

Looks like they discovered a flaw during the test cases. -
Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
Sandman replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Is this 1/144 or 1/100? I assume metal robot is not a metal build/metal composite? -
I thought the lotto got delayed till April or something.
-
The word was a release for the 1s Roy this month but haven't heard anything. my hikaru 1S PF order got cancelled again (4th time) not sure what's going on with that. It was scheduled a month after Roy's valk.
-
Yeah the 0S should have had that from the get go. In fact all the stickers should be tampoed like the bandai calls.
-
Wow it feels like it's been so long since the last preorder night. When was the last preorder night.
-
I'm wondering if they moved it back to avoid tilting it like they did for messers?

Macross Δ (Delta) Movie Gekijō no Walkūre (Passionate Walkure)
Sandman replied to no3Ljm's topic in Movies and TV Series
That actually would've been an interesting arc to take for Mirage. We find out she use to sing growing up but tabled it to follow in the footsteps of her grandparents to be a pilot. Throughout the episodes she realizes she. An use her singing to power up her flying and eventually becomes a hybrid pilot/walkure singer. That would've been an awesome arc for her. -
Any tips for using stickers? Or something to look out for. I think I may use them as well.
