I did the same with my Yamato Ivanov... It was resold within a month. The wing root hinges and the outer wing hinges were both very floppy and saggy on mine, although I had been fortunate enough not to have received one with two left wing hinges as many other MW members had. I remember a lot of casting swirl marks being present on that toy, and just a general lack of solidity and refinement.

I would think that Arcadia might be able to keep cashing in on periodic rereleases of previous mecha, with occasional forays into new mech just as they (plus Yamato) have always done. Demand still seems to be present whenever a 1/3000 Macross or 1/60 VF-4 release is made, and you'll always be able to sell Roy VF-1S's.

Recieved my Ami shipment today. I haven't transformed the DX yet but holy jeeebus I am loving the way it looks and handles in fighter. The substantial weight (befitting a proper chogokin) already puts this thing light years ahead of the Yammie 1/48 in my book, and I am really digging on the more sharp-edged and chunky styling compared to the Yamarcadias. No complaints here at all regarding flaps, winglets or radome pivots - they're all pretty secure on mine.

Just received payment email from AmiAmi for my two VF-1Js and made payment. Like others have noted, they automagically switched my order to DHL from EMS for a lower rate. I'm glad that they're being proactive in that sense. JPY7510 for shipment of two pieces - not too terribly bad.

Yes, I do. It means that the funds that we pledged are being used for game development rather than for a public marketing campaign. Myself personally, I find that to be a good thing

Doesn't seem like a big issue to me. The letter to backers which CIG sent out this week explains that ~$46 million has been invested for a 10% stake in the company, with those funds being earmarked for marketing so as not to divert backer funds from development, along with some background info on the investors. 46M for a 10% stake in a company which has raised a little over $200M sounds like a pretty good deal for us backers. If that sum were invested for a 51% or greater stake there would be some room for concern, but I have a hard time accepting that this investment constitutes any that anybody should be worried about as it implies a company valuation that is more than double the funds raised so far.

Pretty much, yes.
