Lolicon Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Printing the modex number correctly was probably an oversight that cost someone their job. Quote

treatment Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 26 minutes ago, Chronocidal said: Can agree with that entirely. Since they finally printed the numbers right, this one is lacking what I'm just going to refer to as "Bandai Taint." It's actually done correctly, without Bandai's stupid logic marring the whole thing. While it's not really that visible, just knowing it's done correctly is a nice feeling that you don't have with the previous versions. My AmiAmi order just got dropped at my door, and it's a beauty. If the parts in the cockpits can be coaxed out, I might just mix and match pilots and control panels to just turn one of these into a DYRL and call it a day. 9 minutes ago, Lolicon said: Printing the modex number correctly was probably an oversight that cost someone their job. Remains to be seen if the rest of the DYRL Skull members will have the corrected modex numbers when released... most likely, tho, the beatings will continue until morale improves... Quote

I'm calling it: TV will always have correct modex and DYRL will always have "symmetrical" modex. Quote

I was only going to collect the TV variants in the DX line anyway, and I am so glad that they have fixed the 001 for Roy's 1S. The symmetrical "non-error" in Kakizaki's tail fin (012, 210) would have driven me absolutely nuts... Quote

It drives me nuts and for the price I just can't justify using the decal sheet from Kaki to fix all of the DYRLs. Quote

I was thinking about robbing my Hasegawa 1/48 kit of a pilot....and even considered chopping the SDFM centre control stick....but not sure I should go that far in butchering the DX. If I can pry the consoles out of the TV versions, I may very well do so, but I'm more interested in swapping part for part, and just kitbashing a DYRL version out of stock elements. The giant honking sticks on the TV consoles are a grievous eyesore though, and need to go away entirely either way. Don't know if I'd do anything special to the pilot though, other than repainting a spare Kakizaki or something like that. Edited December 3, 2020 by Chronocidal Quote

I'm open to doing another run of my DX valk supplemental set. They've been coming through for many of us. My order from them arrived today. At least one of the members in your position contacted Nin-Nin and asked for a status update. They were told that there was a shipment delay for some of the stock and orders would be going out next week (I think). Hello, I would also gladly get one sheet from you please. Quote

I also really appreciate the Skull insignia being just a little lower on the heat shield. I think they're a bit too high with the stock application. Bandai did the same thing with the Hi-Metal R version. Red Comet is legit! Quote

I'm probably going to sell my Hikaru 1S, the Roy 1S simply looks better to me for one thing, and for another it doesn't have that Goddamned backwards modex number for the sake of "Symmetry" in battroid or whatever nonsense reason they had to make it that way.

Of all the Macross toys I had shipped this year - why did it have to be the irreplaceable one? Will keep you posted Quote
Shinobi Rendar Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 The Focker has landed! A day early as well. I wonder if NNG is buying stock from local shops. This is my first DX and I can't wait to play with it this weekend! Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Nothing to wonder about, they absolutely are buying from other shops for their second+ wave of pre-orders. Quote
