Mommar Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 I want a massive, finely detailed, hyper-niche toy; And I want it to be CHEAP! Quote
derex3592 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah! Come on Arcadia! Bandai already did all the hard work! Just take the HMR Regult and scale that bitch up to 1:60 and add lights, a figure and real firing canons and I'll pay anything up to $149.99 for it! (sarcasm) Quote

Nice! Congrats! But... what's a laserdisc? Quote
gunbuster76 Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Nice! Congrats! But... what's a laserdisc? hahaha. right. i told some folks at work about it. and the twentyseven year old asked the same thing. Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 hahaha. right. i told some folks at work about it. and the twentyseven year old asked the same thing. Years ago, I was twenty seven too. But I still don't know what's a laserdisc is.Hahaha! j/k But to be honest, back in the day when those are still the next best things. I thought they were just a chrome looking vinyl records. Hehehe.

anime52k8 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Sometimes I think to myself "how do young people not know what this stuff is? I'm young and and I've heard of laser disks and corded phones." Then I realize it's probably because I hang around with old people too much. Quote
Lolicon Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 How many people here actually owned a laserdisc player? I never did. My childhood was the VHS era. Quote
seti88 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I had friends who had LD's and would go their place to watch em. But they also had the hifi systems to go along with it, so in a way thats why we stuck to vhs...to get the gold experience was quite an investment... Quote
derex3592 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I actually still have a functional Pioneer Laserdisc player, I hooked it back up a few years ago to try to watch my unedited Star Wars Definitive Collection discs, but man, on a 65" plasma 1080p set, they just don't hold up like they did back on a 32" tube..LOL! Quote
gunbuster76 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 i remember manually flipping mine. getting one that could read both sides was too much for me back then. Quote
derex3592 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Ha! True story! Mine is one you have to flip...and with my Star Wars discs, they were the CAV discs, so every 25 minutes or so, flip and then change! 2 hour movie, lots of getting up off the couch! Quote
Lolicon Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I can't possibly imagine why laserdisc never really caught on here. Quote
spanner Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I did have a small collection of laser disc movies but never the player itself.. if i ever wanted to watch one of the movies id just go over to my cousins place and use his. I only ever bought the discs cos i also had a good collection of vinyl records and i liked that the size and sleeve art was pretty good. All of which i sold off to my cousin.. Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 How many people here actually owned a laserdisc player? I never did. My childhood was the VHS era. I'm more of a Betamax kid. I was already in college when we got our first VHS player. And it was a hands-down thing. Quote
sh9000 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Too bad stores aren't selling HMR Regults for $50 each anymore. I'd definitely add some more to the collection. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 How many people here actually owned a laserdisc player? I never did. My childhood was the VHS era.I only knew one person that had LD, although i was a kid and my dad wasnt convinced by the tech. Quote
Andy NYK Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Started with the smallest portion and scale for my planned 3-mode display of VF-31S & Sv-262Hs. Anxious for the PO-ed GiMIX sets & news on the DXes. Quote

Andy NYK Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 How do you like the two little kits so far? For its price, it's quite nice as a warm-up to Macross Delta valks physically. Not skill demanding but just tricky due to its small scale. Quote
McFly!! Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 For its price, it's quite nice as a warm-up to Macross Delta valks physically. Not skill demanding but just tricky due to its small scale. Glad to read that they're ok quality-wise. The vf-1 kits kept falling apart on me Quote
spanner Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) So im finally back home from the UK and first order of business was to get my Arcadia VF-4G transformed and on display! The transformation was not as overly complicated as I was expecting and I have to admit it does look pretty good in battroid.. Also put my 2nd VF-27b on display as a cf variant.. And my MPP10 Prime is looking very smart with his Autobot symbol in place! Edited June 26, 2016 by spanner Quote
abbadon Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Those 27s are looking pretty sharp, spanner! Glad you're loving your new Arcadia 4G in battroid. Quote
spanner Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Those 27s are looking pretty sharp, spanner! Glad you're loving your new Arcadia 4G in battroid. they do look pretty bloody good altogether eh! yeah I have long been skeptical about the VF-4 in battroid mode but of late it has certainly grown on me!
