sh9000 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Thanks @vlenhoff. Opened up another 1/100 F-117. At this point I’ll paint a spare HMR VF-1 black to go with them.
Mommar Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 No decals or panel lines done yet but the build went by pretty quick.

Hmmmm. It looks great, but I attribute this bad ass look entirely to Bandai's genius.

Hmmmm. It looks great, but I attribute this bad ass look entirely to Bandai's genius. Really? I haven’t been paying attention to the whole thing but after I heard about the Zeta Unicron, I thought it looked better in many ways and had a few better features minus the working mouth in planet mode that Hasbro has. Zeta is also a lot smaller. Looks like HasLab has stalled even with the extension. At this point, I actually hope they just fail.
sqidd Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 I just took a look at a couple of these. They look really cool. I like the Prime. They're BIG BUCKS though. How tall are they? How did they cost when they were released?

Just curious as to how you've linked the two things [Zeta Unicron to haslab Unicron and Bandai's Metal builds to...Flame Toys Star Saber]? For me neither the haslab nor the zeta unicron ever did anything [admittedly they looked very cool] but I can see how when hasbro is trying to literally do their biggest thing ever [size+price] they don't want a 3P undercutting it.

That’s because Flame Toys and Bandai contract the same designers (Decomas Labo, Chemical Attack), same situation with Bandai and Arcadia contract T-Rex to design their Valkyries. Hasbro has nothing to do with it.

Um yeah, I'm not into it that much. At $250 I would be a buyer. But $450! That sucker better be 30cm tall and have a LOT of presence. Edited September 16, 2019 by sqidd
DYRL VF-1S Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 @sqidd When are you going to get these bad boys?! Every Macross fan needs at least one of them. The premium finish Arcadia one from DYRL is unreal. I think it's my favorite in my collection.
sqidd Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I got a REALLY NICE Matchbox form @jenius. I pulled the peasant move and got the standard finish Arcadia.

Haha! Nah, the standard is just fine if you don't mind adding the decals (or keeping bare). I hate doing it, so anything PF is just right by me.
DYRL VF-1S Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 In other news, picked up my MP-10G last week. Can't wait to break these out for a crossover display.

Nice GB collectibles sir! Better play with these while you have time, sir. Because once your Kairos arrives, you're going to swoosh it around more than you're going to play with these GB's. Hehehe. Again, great hauls everyone!

sqidd Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Toys Alliance Optimus Prime showed up today. 1/48 Roy is rather intimidated.
anime52k8 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Prime needs to lay off the pizza bagels.
spacemanoeuvres Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I really like those MAS figs! Do you plan to pickup the black version and/or Megatron? I keep checking for updates on Soundwave but haven’t seen anything since the initial announcement and tradeshow video from 2018.

sqidd Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Welp, he's absolutely not fitting in the cabinet. He almost doesn't fit between the cabinet and the ceiling! This dude is ridiculous. Edited September 16, 2019 by sqidd

I absolutely need Megatron. This toy is just plain fun! I giggle every time I walk in my office and see it. It's absurd.

kkx Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) @sqidd I have a dark gold version on the way, am on the fence about the dark red version. Didn't know that they have it in-stock (was assuming that it was on PO). Looking forward to see some photo and hear your view on this version before I decide. Edit: I have also missed an $299 MB EVA-01 two weeks ago. Looking for a good price but it is now close to $400. Edited September 17, 2019 by kkx
Slave IV Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Ok, now that I’ve seen the deco for AFC Vol 36 @sh9000 posted, I’m in.
