Mr Bomber Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 destroid back in stock! http://www.hlj.com/product/BANN05211/Act Quote
neoexcaliber Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 The VF-1S Roy does have a specific release date: I wonder if it's an error since this release seems to be on a Monday. Quote
Big s Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 It is a web exclusive, so it may not follow the usual pattern. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I've lost track, I've got the Glaug and Monster pre-ordered but is the Roy Hi-Metal up for pre-order anywhere or do we know when it's going up? Quote
Scyla Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I've lost track, I've got the Glaug and Monster pre-ordered but is the Roy Hi-Metal up for pre-order anywhere or do we know when it's going up? The HRM Roy preorders where opened a long time ago. It is a Tamashii Webshop Exclusive so you have to go through a middle man. NY has them still available but no pay later option: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/14320-hi-metal-r-vf-1s-strike-valkyrie-roy-focker-special-limited-edition.html Quote
aaajin Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 that thing is humongous...must be hollowed inside else the racheted joints prolly wouldnt be able to hold up the weight Quote
derex3592 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I'm pretty sure I haven't been this hyped about two Macross toys in a looooooong time! Bring on my Glaug and my Monster! Quote
sharky Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 WHAT? No "McDonald's" decals?Why would there be? Quote
ZorClone Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 everyone knows Micronians Miclones prefer the King! Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I know they are taking pictures of the Monster at an angle so you don't see the photographer's reflection. I would like a more straight on picture so we can more accurately judge the Monster's size compared to the other mecha. Quote
Gunn Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I know they are taking pictures of the Monster at an angle so you don't see the photographer's reflection. I would like a more straight on picture so we can more accurately judge the Monster's size compared to the other mecha. Not sure if the pic in the very first post of this thread is representative of the final product, but that pic seems to have the most straight on angle. You can get a better sense of scale with that pic. Quote
Bub Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I know they are taking pictures of the Monster at an angle so you don't see the photographer's reflection. I would like a more straight on picture so we can more accurately judge the Monster's size compared to the other mecha. My first pic would be the best for size comparison, especially for those who have the VF-1. The Regults are so far away, you'd be at an angle to fit them in one shot and the Glaug... I'll see if I can get a better shot this weekend. Quote
spanner Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 dimensions, dimensions, dimensions!!! gonna literally be a "Monster" can't wait, can't wait, CAN'T WAIT!!! Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I hope my ikea detolf cabinet is big enough. Quote
technoblue Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I hope my ikea detolf cabinet is big enough. It should fit on top. If you want to put it inside the detolf, you will need to angle it in. The inside measurements are tight for the 400mm cannons. You won't be able to point the cannons at the glass door, for instance. Quote
spanner Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I hope my ikea detolf cabinet is big enough. It should fit on top. If you want to put it inside the detolf, you will need to angle it in. The inside measurements are tight for the 400mm cannons. You won't be able to point the cannons at the glass door, for instance. I might be lucky and get it to fit in the Ikea Klingsbo with a few cm to spare but it will definitely need to be on a 45 degree angle.. Quote
technoblue Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) It can fit in the detolf sideways. How? 400mm is about 15 3/4 inches. A detolf shelf has the following dimensions: 340mm width x 390mm length. If you can fudge it sideways, make sure to take a picture. I think Spanner's idea for placing it at an angle is the best solution for the detolf too. Edited March 30, 2016 by technoblue Quote
sh9000 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 The cannons are positioned diagonally, not horizontally. Quote
beatsing Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 It's too big. It won't fit. I'll make it fit. Quote
aaajin Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 it will be just a matter of time before someone here says this, so here goes ... ITS YUUUGEE! Quote
spanner Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 It's too big. It won't fit. I'll make it fit. that's what she said! hehe! Quote
technoblue Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 The cannons are positioned diagonally, not horizontally. Ah! I was having a difficult time imagining that last night. I'm still curious about how it would look. It may look cool, no doubt. But if one wants to be creative with aiming the cannons, it seems a sideways placement will have some restrictions. Quote
