Its not just you. The price of Arcadia's stuff is completely nuts IMO.
Im just happy that Bandai has upped their game because and started outputting high quality at a reasonable price.
Im not a fan of the ghosts attached to the wings.
It doesn't look at all integrated, like someone just slapped them on there as an afterthought.
Other than that though i love this design.
I agree that the gunpod detracts slightly from the fighter mode, but in battroid having a meaty gunpod looks awesome compared to these puny things.I'll take the gunpod anyday.
Although i understand the complexity of what is being produced there is no way that the waste figures should be that high.
It sounds to me that he needs to bite the bullet and investigate other production options because a business running like that is not sustainable.
Yamato VF-0A, because it crumbles to bits when i touch it - utter shite.
In contrast to you my favourite is the YF-21. Although it has its fair share of problems i can overcome them with my love for the design.
I had the same problem. They have to first pop up before they rotate outwards.
i managed it by sliding a very thing flat edge screwdriver between the doors and then jimmying it upwards while pushing down with one of my fingers to stop it bending too much.
once you get them open that first time they are fine.
Is there anyone in europe planning on buying these stands?
It will probably work out cheaper for us to club together and buy in bulk to save on shipping costs.
Someone would have to be the hub and agree to send them on to the other guys - i would happily do this as i am in Switzerland which is pretty central. Also i would be fine with trusting someone else to do it.
Im looking to get 4 stands at some point. If anyone is interested in combining orders then message me.
