  1. There is typically diecast in tomicar products (even the 500 yen ones) and I expect the same here.
  2. It’s all relative. Typical tomicar is 500 yen. The premium line is just for products with licenses like initial D and back to the future.
  3. I missed out on the Misa 1/12 figure. Now they're nowhere to be found (at reasonable pricing anyways). I did order their 1/12 Roy few weeks ago and it came with the bonus guitar to my surprise. Hopefully they'll re-issue Misa (Lisa for them) at some point.
  4. google search: Metal Build followed the 2007 release of a similar line of partly diecast action figures under Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite, which focuses on Universal Century mecha and is based on the designs and artwork of Hajime Katoki. In contrast, Metal Build has focused on other timelines than Universal Century. Metal build has more accessories like you mentioned, and also tends to be more detailed. Chogokin is usually designed with animation accuracy in mind, while metal build is stylised. Chogokin uses ratchet joints (better for longevity) while metal build is strictly friction. while some may favor MB more than chogokin, I think it’s wrong to say chogokin is the budget line. It’s a different design approach. Simpler and more anime accurate design will feel less detailed but it’s meant to be that way, not to say it’s lower quality.
  5. the colors of the track suits match the colors each character is associated with on the show (though less sure about Bouge). They also have matching colors even in concerts, which led to some very poor outfit design choices in the beginning that has improved over the years, but never all that great.
  6. thanks guys for enlightening me. I thought the Walkure girls all have their own gigs and that’s why they had the Walkure final tour last year as their final performance as a group? I recently watch the Walkure Reborn concert bluray and was quite impressed with them. Overall better singers than megumi and May’n? At least I didn’t hear any intonation issues that sometimes appear in Frontier concerts. May’n’s voice is so unique that it’s hard to compare. But maybe I should run and hide after this statement……
  7. Sorry for my ignorance, from left to right, they're Freyja, Reina, and who?
  8. it says paper craft for the tent is included.
  9. Nice work. What scale will these be in?
  10. If anyone is willing to part with the 1/60 figures of the 4 Fire Bomber members please shoot me a PM.
  11. Thank you. Switched back to the ugly black one. mine sat overnight but luckily no stress marks.
  12. I put the VF-1S with fast pack on the fighter stand that came with the first release VF-1J. It’s wobbly perhaps due to the extra weight from the fast pack but seems to hold. Anyone else doing this? Any concerns with the durability of the flight stand if left on display long-term?
  13. Oh wow so those 13 photos were actually never released? One would think lots of people would have wanted copies. Thanks for the photo pack info. I definitely dig them and hopefully score one in the future.
  14. Does anybody know if the 13 pictures from the 6-page Minmay photo album in the ending sequence of SDMF were released at some point? Where and how would one acquire them if so? I also imagine someone would have made a replica of that photo album at some point. Anybody know?
  15. Delivery date of mine got pushed back to January 2 to 12.
  16. that would imply that the rest would be released if one was found. I therefore believe they're all scattered in different places.
  17. Has Lunar Park shipped out any VF-1S mechanic version yet?

    Macross figures

    I found my old pics of the DarrinG figures. Good memories.
  19. Oh man. I was hoping it would play on other platforms and that it's an isolated PS3 issue. I can't imagine I never watched it when I got it 10 years ago, it must have worked before.
  20. It's a blu-ray. The flashback box says blu-ray, the disc says blu-ray. My PS3 can see the title, but then gives me the 80029903 invalid disc message. The PS3 is my only way to play blu-ray disc unfortunately, but I'll try to test it on another player.
