Kanedas Bike Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 shade doesn't matter = doesn't care = not a real macross fan = an average toy fan. i guess you probably won't won't care or notice what shade of black is your suit (if you brought it at Kmart for 50 bucks. but if you paid 500 you might...) sorry, but if people care for TRU mp prime vs. takara mp prime because he's a shade lighter and will sell TRU prime just to get Takara's then colors do matter. that's for a 130-230 toy. when a toy is 300 plus = I CARE Insert cliche response: "guys, i think everyone should relax and wait till arcadia shows something more..." lol Guys, I think everyone should relax and wait until Arcadia shows something more... Guys, look at the larger pic Reijav reposted. The pics in the back show the color they're shooting for, as does the giant banner on Arcadia's Twitter account. -b. Quote

Gakken85 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I'd agree if it was a hero Valk... but it isn't really. I mean... if a canon fodder was a little less brown... You can't say the paint apps and paint are bad, it's just off a bit. And the TRU prime has sold for close to 300 at one time Edited November 12, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote

Gakken85 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Since it's a training valk.. it kind of can't be. How you go gonna be a hero with no reaction missiles? Quote

Gakken85 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Or maybe I don't give a frakk what you think? haha Quote
Kurisama Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I remember a time on the boards before Gakken, when people were civil. Quote
treatment Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Or maybe I don't give a frakk what you think? haha Maybe you should troll somewhere else then where they won't easily recognize you're faking it here? Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Seems like the only ones not being civil are the treatment/kurisama. I don't try to pressure people into buying parts when they ask for help, or follow people around looking for trouble. Grow up fellas. Quote
Kurisama Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I'm sorry? You're saying I pressure people into buying parts they request to be made? Yes, yes I do. I don't give out my time, skills and efforts for free. Lol, you make me chuckle. Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Somebody asking you about a part isn't an order form. Then flipping out over it isn't professional or friendly. Don't talk about being civil. I know you're bummed there is an official OD and you can't peddle your wares but don't try to take it out on me and start things. Real talk. Quote
Kurisama Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 You want to play? Ok, lets play. When someone requests something from me - yes, I charge them for it - why? It takes time, skill and a lot of effort to make it. It's simple. Usually what ppl ask for aren't simple things. I'm sure you can grasp that concept. A replacement part is usually something relatively complex with many things to consider no the least of which are compound forms and tolerances. Somebody asking for help is a different matter - if I can, I help, for free - usually if it is something that is no issue for me, again a simple concept you can grasp. I can't see where you're getting the notion i'm "flipping out", care to elaborate? I'm not bummed at all about my 0D conversion kit - that kit has made many people happy, and funded myself to do the next project and so on. Besides, all the ppl with a spare 0A or 0S in the future may want to get my kit if they are so inclined when the new Zeros hit. I have no issues with it either way - you're just projecting your feelings and perspective view on the matter - you have no idea how I actually feel about it. But let me reiterate, and be blunt - as you can't take the hint sometimes; Buy it, don't buy it - it's up to you, doesn't bother me - I'm onto bigger and better things. And for the record telling someone "Or maybe I don't give a frakk what you think? haha", isn't being civil. Maybe it is in you part of the world. But then again all your nastiness may stem from all your butt-hurts that you can't create awesome things like me, or a select few others in the community can. Aaaaaaanyway, I'm excited for this VF-0D to drop - can't wait! Quote

Aaaaaaanyway, I'm excited for this VF-0D to drop - can't wait! I'm not addressing the other part, but it doesn't matter to me. I just find your shilling and pressure tactics a little creepy. But t-ment follows me around trying to start crap. Saying you don't care what somebody thinks when they are attacking you isn't uncivil. He's always making bullshit comments to me when he isn't posting weirdo pictures of kids toys that nobody wants to see. You're the one coming into threads where you aren't mentioned and trying to troll and flame. The only butthurt here is you. Sorry, but I've never seen anything you've done that was mind blowing. Haters gonna hate. I gotta better things to do than argue with the likes of you over nothing. Mind your own business. Edited November 12, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote

Mind your own business. /me facepalm I'm not sure why you think so highly of yourself, but I don't ever follow you around. At all. I only follow threads I like. I've participated and still participating in this thread. You posted something bizarro in this thread that I noticed, so I quoted and asked you about it. It turned out you really have no idea what you're posting about and just want a rise out people here. It's that simple. Fakers and trolls are easy to spot here at MWF. If not me, then somebody else. It's always been like that here. You really want to feel special? Then be special and stop posting trolling stuff. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Just gonna close it for a little while, deal with the mess later, then open it back up. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 New pic. Is the same ankle joint of the YF-19? Quote
Scyla Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 WHERE IS THE PANIC BUTTON!???? Seriously. WHERE IS IT??? Still waiting for the Black Friday sale. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Oh no! balljoint ankle.... whyyyyyyyy??? Someone please twit MrK that they must fix the loose joint that the YF-19 is plagued with. Edited November 12, 2014 by Valkyrie addict Quote
treatment Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Oh no! balljoint ankle.... whyyyyyyyy??? Someone please twit MrK that they must fix the loose joint that the YF-19 is plagued with. Arcadia must really luv those -19 ankle-joints. What could possibly go wrong... Quote
technoblue Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Ball joints. It had to be ball joints. But as an anti-color-critique strategy it's near genius. Quote
mechaninac Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) A lot of good balls do if what's attached to them turns out to be limp... Edited November 13, 2014 by mechaninac Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 LOL Dollars to donuts between 0 to 5 whole entire people actually cancel their pre-orders because of the ankles, while those that never placed one to begin with cry bloody murder about them. -b. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Eh, I can get my 19 to stand. They're a little loose, but it's not a deal breaker. Quote
spanner Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Would it be wishful thinking to say i hope those balls joints are new but only resemble the old ones... 😕 Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Ball joint or not I'm keeping my preorder Quote
Mommar Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Please, somebody who knows Japanese emphasize how TERRIBLE the YF-19 ankles are. And be as harsh as possible. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Yeah, my YF-19's can barely stand. I've had them fall over a few times in battroid mode while displayed in the detolf. The one I keep in battroid mode now is just propped up by a wing against a stand to keep it standing should a slight draft move by it. Not going to affect my VF-0D preorder. My VF-19's stand okay and I want it mostly for fighter mode anyway. Edited November 13, 2014 by MacrossJunkie Quote
Mommar Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Doesn't matter if it's a fighter-mode only Valk or not, it's horrible engineering and shouldn't be included on another $300+ toy. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 think the red looks better than before... ball joint = fail Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Doesn't matter if it's a fighter-mode only Valk or not, it's horrible engineering and shouldn't be included on another $300+ toy. Oh, I'm not excusing it. I'm just saying it won't stop me from getting one because I like the fighter mode too much to miss out on it. Besides, we don't even know if it will have the same problem as the '19 ankles. The VF-17 ankles are also ball jointed like that and they weren't bad at all. You have to give credit to Bandai for the ankle joints on their Frontier valks though. They have great articulation AND look good as well (not feet attached to a thin rod). Arcadia should look at those for some inspiration on ankle joint design. Quote
