And Ant-Man: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27809-shfiguarts-ant-man-avengers-endgame.html with his ride: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27810-shfiguarts-ant-ant-man-wasp.html -

Available at NY, go, go, go! https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27807-shfiguarts-thanos-avengers-end-game.html EDIT: And just like that, he's gone. Managed to secure one in the few minutes that it was open.

Here we gooo! The floodgates have been opened for End Game merch! Looks like Bandai has had more of the nano weapons in the pipeline. With the Bandai Nano Weapons Set 2 and Takara Tony's Nano Weapons Sets A, B, and C, my Mark 50 is going to have a lot of wonderful toys to play with. The Mark 85 is also an instabuy for me, although it looks a little bare without any bundled Nano Weapons. I wonder if the Mark 50's Nano Weapons will fit it? Will probably get End Game Thanos, but on the fence about Cap, Black Widow, Antman and Ronin. Disappointed that Cap does not have an alternate head with no helmet. Maybe the head from the Civil War Cap will fit it? Love the added texture on his suit though. It seems Marvel is paying one last homage to the comic book costumes of Cap and Iron Man. A fitting swan song for them since End Game is supposedly their last movie. I also love the texture on Black Widows suit. I don't have any Black Widow figures yet, so I might bite on this one. But then I'll need Hawkeye... Speaking of which, how come Ronin has no bow? Maybe he ditched the bow in the events prior to End Game? I guess all shall be revealed this 26th of April.

There are instructions in his posts. You have to pay the full amount first through paypal, then PM him your complete name, address and country.

Hey guys! Just came across these cool third party Nano Weapons Set for the Figuarts Iron Man Mk 50. After seeing reviews from youtube, I went ahead and pre-ordered Sets A, B and C from the maker, Takara Tony via his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019686341010 Anybody ordered this as well?

I understand the price increase of Arad's ride in anticipation of the Armor Pack release. But a 200 percent price increase? Did Ozma's go up that much after his armor pack were announced?
-
Wow, NY is already selling Arad for 68,000. That's quite a markup. Everybody loves an armored valk leader, I guess.
-
Awww man! Another SEED Gundam release? I'm not excited for this at all. Anyway, happy hunting for those who are fans.
-
NY also has the stands for sale. Price is cheap, but the shipping I don't know. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27709-macross-do-you-remember-love-variable-stand.html

My current wishlist for Bandai is: 1) DX YF-21, 2) DX Kairos Arad Custom, and 3) A recolor of the DX VF-31S into a Skull Leader variant (like what they did with the YF-29). Oh, and release Chuck's and Arad's supers soon please.
-
Thanks again Noel! They look awesome! Agreed with Mommar. The red ammo drums do make for a good contrast. I wonder why Kawamori-san didn’t color it this way. It looks so much better than the orange. Now I’m wondering what color Chuck’s armor is going to be. Will it be olive green as in the movie? Or will it be the same color as his valk like in the BD cover?
-
Whoa, what’s this? A new Metal Build line? I can’t make out the silhoutte at the end. Hope it’s another UC era Gundam.
-
Wow! Nice! Thanks Noel! IMHO, this is how it should have been colored in the first place! Looks a lot more uniform with Arad's color scheme. Think you can do gerwalk and valkyrie in these colors Noel? Pretty please?
-
I just had a thought. Once I get Chuck’s valk and Arad’s armor pack, I’m going to try and put Chuck’s radome on Arad while he wears the armor pack, to see what that looks like. I realized that with the release of Chuck and the armor parts are two new container pods for the VF-31. This will be the first time we can try to swap out the standard gunpod and recharger pod for other types. At least using the Bandai official parts. Maybe Bandai will officially release the speaker pod packaged with Arad’s supers? One can hope...
-
Nice! The orange color in those twitter photos don't look as bright and blown out in the earlier pics. It looks more red orange like in the show (Though it could be the lighting.) We also get to see more of the rear. The clear support adapter for the stand allows for three arms to support the weight of the backpack more evenly. Man, I'm getting giddy with excitement for this! I hope Chuck's supers are not far behind. I can't wait to display a fully dressed up Delta platoon!

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Ah, were you referring to this: https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/03/26/robotech-anime-live-action-wonder-woman-writer-tease/ If that movie will cover the SDF Macross segment of Robotech, then I guess it would count as shudder worthy from a Macross fan. Make that a double shudder considering HG's involvement... -

Cost cutting for Bandai, not for the customers. But you already knew that didn’t you, kabayan? hehe! BTW, did you read my request in the VF-31 thread? About doing another re-color of the armor parts, with teal as the color for the missile covers, and red for the stripes on the twin cannons and the sides of the missle pods on the boosters? I would really like to see what that looks like since it would follow the color patern of Arad’s super pack more closely IMHO. -

Two words: cost cutting. -

Hang on Shizuka, Spacemanoeuvres was referring to the Transformers movies directed by Michael Bay, not the Pearl Harbor movie (which I liked myself). You have to understand, the Bayformers movies are quite a touchy subject for fans. Best to let sleeping dogs lie lest you find yourself in a flame war. Hehe! -

That's the one. Bumblebee (which was directed by Travis Knight) was supposed to be a direct prequel to the Bayformers movies, but apparently, the former introduced a lot of changes that messed up with the timeline of the latter. I'm inhibiting myself from learning about these changes in order not to spoil the movie until I get to watch it. I don't think there was an animated Bumblebee series. AFAIK, all the animated transformers were titled as "Transformers" along with a secondary title denoting the series' focus (i.e. Transformers Beast Wars, et al). I know that animation from the G1 Series, as well as the Animated Movie (confused much? ) were Japanese animated. Some of the later series were either computer animated, or done by non-Japanese. There's been quite a lot of Transformers series since G1 and before the Bayformers movies that you need to talk to a real hard core Transformers fan to learn more about them. -

Haha! You're really making my day Shizuka! A girl collector who spends loads of cash on transformable toy planes/robots, but is apparently clueless about Transformers. Quite amusing! (Again, no offense meant. Just being playful okay? ) Bayformers is the term used to refer to the live-action Transformers directed by Michael Bay (surely, you must have heard about him? On second thought, you might have not, given that most of the movies he's known for are a) guy flicks, and b) released mostly in the 90s. Hehe!) -
Funny this should come out now. I had posted the same question around two years ago when I also considered getting the Gallia 4 set as well. I eventually did get the Gallia 4 set from Jungle but never really had the time to see if the speaker pods could mount on the wings of a renewal VF-25. All of my Renewal Frontier Valks, along with the Gallia 4 set are currently boxed away with a good majority of my collection for safekeeping from my two-year old son (who, God-willing, will inherit all of this stuff eventually). Glad to see that I didn't waste my money, and that the speaker pods do mount on the renewals.

Still no word if Arcadia is going to re-release the VT-1 Super Ostrich?
