Saban has a knack for taking cool exciting scenes from Sentai and somehow make them boring and mundane. Ever time I watch a pr adaption I look forward to seeing certain scenes only to be disappointed. It's amazing how music and dialogue can totally alter a scene even though it's the same video footage ( although usually with bad cuts). After seeing two episodes I have to say I really don't get the purpose of keeping the gosei suits. They now have an unnecessary extra transformation. Like why bother filming an extra henshin scene with the gosei suits?

I didn't think it was that bad. The costumes will grow on you. Every year people complain about the costumes at the beginning but grow to like them or at least tolerate them. The color switching is an interesting idea. Nothing like seeing a male pink ranger. Lol.
-
If they used the dairanger suits I wonder why they didn't use the goranger suits? Probably thought they looked too silly.

Yeah huge disappointment. I love the look of the 171 CF and was really exited to get one and it ends up being the worst release quality wise. Even worse than the VF-0/garland release. I bought three at $200 bucks each. I'm afraid to touch them. One is in display as fighter mode (never transformed) while the other two sit in their boxes. Sadly i'll never be able the recoup the money i put into them since i doubt they'd sell for over $100.

Finally! Its only been what, 3 years since the vf-25f was first released.
-
Other than the head is there any differences between the vf-25 and the yf-25?
-
I'm really tempted to put skull stickers on the tailfins. Just worried they're going to look crappy on there. The vf-1 v1 stickers still stand out as an eyesore.
-
I would be all over fighter mode only versions. Better chance at getting obsure valks tyat way. As long as the price was reasonable.
-
Sign why no vf-25s reissue or yf-30. They've been teasing the yf-30 since this time last year.
-
Damn it's discountinued now.
-
Damn where can i find that megahouse yamato?
-
Best hope is that Discotek will pick it up one day.
-
Wow wasnt expecting this. I just got the miraclehouse version last year. Hopefully they'll do the orginal blue Arcadia too.The Turn A Gundam in the background looks sweet too. Anyone have any info on it? Im assuming its a model?
-

I haven't been paying attention to the 4th movie news. Are they seriously making Ultra Magnus the villain? -
HELL YEAH!! What's the hold up Bandai?

Or more in this case.... http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/3606-choujikuu-yousai-macross-vf-4g-lightning-iii-limited-edition.html

Yeah it's finally starting to get good. Hopefully it continues.

That's good to hear. The Soul of Popynica version requires you to cut certain pieces (mostly everything that stick out of the main hall) out of spruces. I was really disappointed with that. Hate cutting stuff out of spruces for a non-model. With a model at least you can sand it down and paint over it. There's a Starblazers version? How much is it? Where do you get it?

When i first started this hobby back in 2008 i use to get hit hard by customs. Lately (last couple of years) i've rarely been hit by custom fees. I'm not sure why. It seems pretty random and arbitrary. Some observations i've noticed: -Using EMS seems to mostly avoid custom fees. It does happen but rarely compared to other shipping options. -Conversely when someone ships to me using UPS i get hit hard by customs. UPS will usually invoice me for a handling fee as well (WTF!). Fed-ex is the same as well. -Never pay customs fees from Nippon Yassen (probably because they declare lower value).
