    Cool. Thanks Ignacio. I don't know if someone's already done it.But could someone please post a side by side comparison pic headshot of Arcadia 1/60 & DX 1J?..Thanks in advance.

    New video footage. Look at how detailed that pilot is!!....What those markings on the battroids leftside chest inside/above the cornered red stripe?

    U mean to recess the head further down to hide the "priest collar"?
  4. troyness
    There's still plenty VF battroid engineering to work on. *retractable wings (better than the 1/72 model kit) *reinvent a collapsible/sliding nose cone to completely eliminate the "priest collar" * The DX chogokin 1J can kneel but doesn't seem to be able to do a full calf to hamstring squat. *PT side covers *PT chair elevator. *Better ankle pivot. ....Then pilot head articulation with a thumbs up arm as "cherry on top".

    Congrats on everyone that got a preorder. Condolences to the ones that didn't.. Wow I'm exhausted just reading the last 10 pages of PO madness. I bet there's some sprained index fingers with F5. So looks like the priest collar is still there but less pronounced than Arcadia. ..Everything else looks good. I guess the only engineering left to do on a VF toy would be retractable wings & eliminate the swing bar.(was personally hoping for no swing bar & copying the 1/72 model kit)....Will try to pick one up in December.

    Yeah, after hearing all the horror stories about Comcast from this thread I'm torn. My sympathies to my American MWers. Comcast feels like an episode out of Black Mirror... F#*k I hope Comcast doesn't come after Australia otherwise it's gonna ave ta be Austraya king hittin' time.

    Yeah. I've had a year off MW. Was expecting to see OA CF in everyone's display case & strike a pose threads. Instead PF milk?

    I'd thought by now there'd be a VF-OA cannon fodder/ brown?? WTF happened to that sh#t?

    Unfortunately it seems like Disney's gonna win. Fox seems more interested in Disney's stock/cash offer & has been in negotiations with Disney longer...I guess the best defense against Disney would be to train your kids to hate Disney, put a parental lock on their TV shows/movies & when they're older inform them on Disney's employee treatment. Lol...And use China's internet/search engine :baidu. Between 4-8mths after theatrical release with enough patience u could stream a free Marvel/SW movie.

    I don't own a stig or ray yet but after catching up on this thread it seems that the QC issues are minor for the most part & that there aren't improvements from stig to ray ...but rather more experience from handling ray compared to stig & that QC as always are an anomaly coming from the factory etc.. And the reissue is just that, a reissue. Would that be a fair assumption? BTW thank u snake eyes & noel for your replies a million pages back..sorry for not replying & awesome review jenius!! Can't wait to finally own a pair!!! BTW how's the crotch cloth holding up?
  11. troyness
    Yeah, there's no real profile shot of rider/bike.Really interested in rider/bike proportions.Visor looks like something you'd get out of a kinder surprise chocolate....Hate to be demanding but could someone post pics of the transformation? For whatever reason my vpn's not working in China, pics are blocked.

    There are a few public holidays in April & in June there's Dragon Boat Festival. So May might have to be the month that Sentinel get their manufacturing done in China. Although I don't know how far along they're in production.

    He's doing an A stance over that bike isn't he?..Some promo picture angles makes it look like he's a little big for the bike. I'm curious as to the rider/bike proportions compared to the Beagle. Although I haven't really seen any profile pics of rider/bike.

    Hey RavenHawk. Rocket launcher & mudguard sounds HOT!!...foot shifter?...very intriguing!! At your earliest convenience tell me more sir!!
  15. troyness
    @no3Ljm & RavenHawk. I'm with u guys. The race position would effect seated posing options. I sense a 3D printed attachable footpeg PF in our future...That footpeg is pinned in good. Seems integral to the EXO frame?? Could it be taken out & on an adjustable sliding track?
  16. troyness
    Thanks for the link no3Ljm. Should be a hefty piece with the diecast frame.Glad to see preorders are doing well.I just realized it has footpegs!!Let's hope the full ROM cloth has lessons learned from the Beagle.
  17. troyness
    Mospeada is (half) back? ....Sentinal suspense marketing.
  18. troyness
    Thanks Jenius & no3Ljm.!! I'm sure the Sentinal delays are for covering more screw holes.Lol.. Looks like we'll get shoulder height arm ROM in armor mode. I love most things about bike mode..but nothing beats a panel lined Beagle engine.
  19. troyness
    I'm wearing out the edge of my seat anticipating this Sunday's wonderfest!! Is it speculation or confirmed Sentinal has an update/display of Mospeada?
  20. troyness
    Thanks Tober. Let's hope there's a Sentinal update then.
  21. troyness
    Nice beagle cloths guys!! Sentinal delays don't worry me. But dying to see more bike transformation pics.Maybe Wonderfest. When exactly is Wonderfest again?
  22. troyness
    Weapon holding handx2 for Sentinal Stick/Rei!!!...Just hoping for a more detailed transformation guide pics ..

    Perhaps my opinion may help? Most GenXer Chinese males who are adult collectors of Macross/Arcadia won't be fooled by bootlegs of said product. They'll probably buy online from outside China to purchase the official production run QC. Every Chinese person & their mother are usually acutely aware of the "2 production runs." One from the official foreign company & bootleg (usually done at the same factory).At ToyRus in China the quality & paint apps are usually shitty..knowing parents buy because it's cheaper. Apps like Bilibili,Youku aswell as Baidu (Chinese equivalent to Google.)there are approx 100 video reviews of Official Macross/Arcadia/Yamato. ..If a Chinese adult collector of Macross buys bootleg,they'd do it knowingly..But I've never meet a collector here in mainland China that would risk an expensive important purchase of a bootleg as they'd prefer to buy the official production run overseas..In China u have 2 choices when buying brand names. 1. Buy it online from overseas and have it sent back to u (even if it was made in a factory in China.) 2. Buy the existing bootleg inside China. I guess the only reason of buying a cheaper bootleg would be if it wasn't a personal purchase..eg buying for your nephew etc..

    R-rated movies aren't shown in Chinese cinemas, but China's making an exception with this movie's PG-13 rating. Probably because of the word suicide in the title. Not a good number in China.

    New trailer this Thursday . NBC Olympic coverage. I wonder if it may be from Star Wars Celebration ? Or perhaps an extended version of it?
