First Private Rocket into Space!
Zentrandude replied to Apollo Leader's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
you might be right. I always wondered about can anyone claim a planet/moon/asteroid as their own and make money off them by selling/mining/ect... i better make my own rocketship and claim mercury so i can start my instant tanning service shop. -

you might have to ask those vietnam vet pilots who used those bombing tactics of flying upside down release the bombs then turn right side up so all the bombs drop in unison.

the cost of making the mold for max would kill the profit, but it won't bother me to try to find a little max figure and stuff him in the suit. i can't realy tell if it looks like a vb-6 wished there was better pics of that.

I need some feed back on one of the valks in my EVnova plugin on my color settings it seems near right but I wonder how it looks on some of the other monitors. The other ones seem find just brown I proly have the most prob, i might be color blind on that color freq so think the brown on the cf looks right? need to be darker or lighter?
-
thats a first but im having a hard time imagine how it happen. did the plastic on the leg break that holds the little metal ball?

Okay, I'm not even sure what you're trying to say there. But your initial point is that it is more expensive to re-release the non-M&M valks. . . If they wanted to make more Milias, they'd have to manufacture more red pigmented parts. When they made the re-issues of the VF-1A and VF-1S, they could use the exact same parts that they used for the Max VF-1A and the Hikaru 1S. There were no changes needed. The Max has a unique pigment to its plastic. So does the Milia. The rest are generic white. The Max and Milia both use a lot more paint. To say that the Max and Milia are easer or cheaper to re-release is just utter nonsense. Especially when you start saying that they might even change the texture of the valk to refine the painting process! Well, now you're saying something different (if I understand it at all). All I have to say to this is that you and I seem to have a different definition of "satisfactory". . . and a different view on how many people are willing to spend another $200 on something with which they are already "satisfied." (70%). I can't. Since I have no idea what you just said. But you admit you're guessing at whatever numbers those are supposed to represent. So, uh. . . OKAY! Good luck with that. Look, you think Yamato is out to screw people by intentionally releasing shoddy products and then selling them the same thing again later. I don't. I think that's silly and more than a little paranoid. I'm done with this discussion. I'm going to take the Blaine-approach and just label your arguments as silly and move on. H here ill try to make this clear as i can but you will proly not understand the dynamics of the cost of injection molding within a series like the valk line. the molds cost so much. the cost is divided among all the units built plus raw material cost. so its cheaper to make things 1 year down the line than it is 6 months down the line. after the max which required new molds the price to make it rose but drops steadily until it requires new molds from wear and tear to tweaks to new molds as for the J head and the tv fast packs then drops again. They don't manufactor the red pigment. its still cheaper to order it from another business even if its a special blend if it is a special blend. when i said about changing the texture is just one way to fix the fuzzy lines but if you read it more carefully I mean it won't happen and people won't like it and your arguement is flawed since in a way your agreeing with me. time for the math part in ez to understand terms. 6 ppl says it perfect. i estimate 95% won't buy another one if a better one was made. so its 5% that might buy it when a better one does come out. 6 times 100 so 600 custumers are satisified but out of the 600 about 30 of them have a possibility of ordering another one. and down the line with the other votes but 15% on the less than perfect and so on. And I don't think that yamato is out to screw people and releases shoddy products on purpose. But if you look at businesses it happens everyday in a accidentle kind of way, either from time restraints like software or cost issues like the tombstone tech of the airlines and automobiles. Just remember if the 2nd edition or the next batch is release with some fixes Ill grave dig this thread and laugh in you faces. maybe a pm if im not lazy .

agreed about that. doing something remotely resembles the gimmicks of robotech gets bashed here. Just don't make a hollowed book case to put your 1/48 in. half of MW would weep in disgust.

King Conan? Guess who's playing him
Zentrandude replied to bsu legato's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
wouldn't matter to me who plays connan now. its been too long since I watched any of the movies that they could put conan o' brien in it and I wouldn't remember how he is suposed to look. -
i never own a matchbox so i wouldn't take it as a insult. To hurin: the 2nd edition valk involved new molds from the max vf-1A in combination the price is much higher still than ordering pigments for the plastic and paint. my math is in the ball park. other than the 6 who says its perfect all the other ones have a percentage of buying the fixed one given the chance to do so. perfect 95 percent chance not buy. near perfect voters 85 percent and down so on. just guess on the percentage so don't quote me on that on some econo 101 class. and yes I'll be waiting. or till that happens I can always buy it when it come on sale or repaint existing valks like ppl did with the 1st focker on the head change and paint the head strips to make a hikaru vf-1S b4 it came out And that one who made that realy cool tv max b4 they came out too.

That's just silly. I'm fairly certain Yamato doesn't "sabotage" releases in order to get you to buy a "fixed" version. Y'know... it's crap like that that makes me believe Yamato has got to have the most retarted fanbase on Earth. They go to the trouble to fix mistakes on later releases and they're accused of screwing them up in the first place to make more dough? They make mistakes... at least they do try to correct them when possible. And as far as waiting for a second release on Max & Millia... start holding your breath now and we'll all watch as you turn so many pretty shades of blue. I doubt you'll see a reissue, for the simple reason that because of the price, these won't sell near as many units as the first 2 1/48's. aren't you a hostile little guy and you seem more like a mpc lover too. first its never sabotage with business its more a quick repaint make a better one later situation. second. 2nd edition of max and millia would be easier and cheaper than the 2nd edition of the roy focker since the mm just require pigments in the plastic and refined the way which parts to paint. the fuzziness of the lines you can't realy fix unless they get rid of the texture on the plastic so im sure people will live with that or a realy smooth plane that looks more like plastic but crisp lines. Third. Combined with the people who haven't buy them yet and the ones who have one but are dissatisfied which in the poll it appear to be double than the satisfied ones yamato would be crazy not to make the next batch better and call it 2nd editon to get that money. there a business like everyone out there, they want money. With all the bad reviews we giving im sure there are cutting the profit on the stores with lots of inventory of the m&m valks (notice I said stores and not yamato since they make money off the stores directly and people indirectly affect the stores on how much they purchase from the factories). Now with that said they can do the 2nd edition now but no stores will order then yet till they clear the old stock which eat money to store which means the businesses will cut the price on the old stock to very low margins or at cost plus shipping. Also we can always repaint a hicky J to a M&M like some of the others who did b4 they came out.

Macross 7 Sucks! Macross 7 Rules!
Zentrandude replied to Blaine23's topic in MW Site News & Member Feedback
think it would be easier to host a fps game each month with one team called mac7 lovers and the other team called mac7 haters and see who wins. no more hurt feelings or braincells and everyone has fun.
