easnoddy Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 The Kakizaki is very obviously a kit. The jagged panel line and the fact there's no diagonal seam line through the middle of the kite. Also, the paint is very flat. Quote

Are you holding out on us?! You're the Bandai rep giving the intel and painted that new Kakizaki DX with white landing gears. Quote
FattyMoBookyButt Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 I want to say something humorous or snarky about it being a picture of a thing and that makes it a thing to be involved with the conversation...but I think it's more important that I speak honestly and address the real issue here. I just can't believe this frigging board. What is the matter with you people? Most other fandom boards would rip bbilly's entire existence apart for posting his opinion as fact. Especially after his second post...and you, yes YOU...you are trying to educate and assist him? Nice work. Quote
lavinrac Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Heh. Some kinda moderator ought to shut this nonsense down.. IMHO It is a bit comedic tho. Quote

You are welcome here in my book @bbilly29 though I'm not sure that I have much street cred. I believe you are being sincere and appreciate you sharing. I just think you are being misdirected with the info you received. But I hope you are right and would welcome the release. Quote
DYRL VF-1S Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Even better...what if he's trolling? Brilliant if so. This thread is on fire! haha. I'm personally a fan of the comments it's evoking. Quote

I'm personally a fan of the comments it's evoking. Personally, I felt like he was trolling after the 2nd or 3rd post, so I kind of ignored him after that. But we do get some odd-ball, genuine posters here everyone once and a while, so I'm not as quick to label someone a troll here as I might be on some other forums, so I kept out of it. Either way, it's been a slow few months for Macross news, especially for this DX line, so a little trolling/possible misinformation can be a nice distraction from the silence we've been dealing with.

My only nitpick is the pesky crossbones not being very visible being white on white. If only it had a stronger outline or something like the skull. Quote
totallyjem Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 I also have a NY order open since June of last year. I made the mistake of ordering my armor with the valk in one order. Then my armor got pushed from Dec to April. I expect it all to ship together in April. Quote

We've also learned that you can't be super-mean to people or they go around playing the victim and it results as a detriment to the community. Hell, we even play nice with the ROBOTECH fans!! [jk guys, love you ] This is either a case of confusion: his info might be spot-on, however not realizing [or even being aware of the Hase 1/48 models in the first place.] the knowledge base on the boards and us being able to tell a [very nicely finished] model kit from a mass-produced transforming collectible/toy, perhaps the poster in question's eyesight is poor, and they literally can't see the differences?, or it's purposeful trolling, and either way, it's just easier to be nice about it while sustaining our own hopes/dreams that Bandai do actually release a complete Vermilion team... Meanwhile, I just want my TV Roy-1S, as I don't own a TV Roy-1S in any toy form yet. Quote

These are the interwebs. No one should ever take anything like this serious enough to get feelings hurt. But that's just my opinion. At most, people were being confrontational, some sarcastically comedic, and others being super polite and encouraging. I didn't find anyone "mean" though that's quite subjective, isn't it? (Though for what it's worth, I don't personally think being confrontational encourages healthy community most times and definitely isn't inviting to a newcomer.) The beauty of this is that whether he was being sincere or trolling, we now have a lively discussion happening over the past several days. It's been pretty boring without anything new to report on DXs for awhile. The last lively convo here was on whether or not NY was worth buying from, etc. I say, bravo, for creating another engaging convo. Edited February 26, 2020 by DYRL VF-1S Had to add an emoji duh Quote
