    Bandai DX VF-31

    I was going to pick up the 31S the last time they had free shipping and it was still 23k but finally decided against it, and now they jacked it up to 38k...

    Hi-Metal R

    Very cool, mind if I ask who makes them and where you got them?

    That sucks because it was still available after you put your order in.
  4. Are the preorders opening in June and July if they’re being released?

    VF-4 back up for pre-order on HLJ. https://hlj.com/hi-metal-r-vf-4-lightning-iii-bans55381 VF-1D available at AmiAmi too, finally scored one! https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scode=FIGURE-044625
  6. I think it's because he used a maroon red which doesn't stand out as much. I can barely see the difference on my laptop but can see it clearer on my iPad.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    I put mine back in the box so I took a screen cap from Jenius’ transformation video. It’s this tiny cover for screws, just plopped it back in.

    Anybody know what piece this is? I was transforming this to fighter mode and it fell off, I have no idea from where though. Edit: Never mind, found it! Thanks!
  9. Jenius has a list of the different versions up on his site, anymoon.com I’m not sure which are the ones you’re asking about though, sorry.

    Maybe it’s because you’re so full of yourself? In so many of your stupid ass posts you make it sound like you are single handledly “supporting” the hobby, as if nobody else on this board puts money into this hobby. And look at the stupid ass thing you said above, you hoard these toys so you can sell them at an enormous profit. It’s thanks to jackasses like you that make it hard for other people to get into this hobby. In reality, you’re no better than a scalper, so congratulations for being a douche.

    I’m travelling and had to use my phone, there were all kinds of shenanigans with their site using mobile safari.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I haven’t bought the 31s due to budget reason, but have the others, is it safe to assume the armor will fit on one of the other models, or is it going to have custom colours to match the 31s. Sorry I haven’t watched delta so don’t know much.

    If you’re in Canada, they also declare full value and you’ll get dinged with duties. I ordered the 31J Kai this year from them for 31k plus 3400 shipping and got slapped with about 70$ in duties. Stupid NY lowered their 31J Kai to 30k yen right after I bought it from Mandarake, a tiny difference but NY never declare full value and I never had to pay duties. I was so mad!
  18. Palpating is not a bad ass? He single handedly orchestrated the demise of the Jedi Order save for a handful, was able to equal Yoda in single combat, and took out Mace Windu (sure with help from Anakin, but he did it to lure Anakin to the dark side), officers were scared shitless at the mention of him, I’m not sure who qualifies as a bad ass then.
  19. That’s actually not the point I was making at all. How can you have any continuity when the characters have changed so dramatically from movie to movie. It would be as if the director of Die Hard 2 decided to make John McClane a pansy with no explanation, it would have made for a pretty bad sequel.
  20. Her lineage questions were answered in TLJ, and Johnson confirmed in follow up interviews he intended for her to be the child of nobodies. Although of course this could be changed in the next movie and say her parents used a memory rub on her to hide her past. It’s 3 years between ANH and ESB and another year between ESB and RoTJ. TLJ literally takes place right after TFA, when she’s just about to hand Luke his lightsaber. Don’t get me wrong, I like TFA and even though I found the story unoriginal, it was a good Star Wars movie and ranked ahead of the prequels for me, but after Rogue One. TLJ just literally destroyed any kind of setup that TFA created and was absolute garbage. Snoke made out to be a bad ass like the Emperor, nope, killed off like a second rate punk. Hux and Phasma, bad asses of The First Order, nope, made into a running joke. Rey with a mysterious past and most likely awesome lineage, nope, just a nobody abandoned on a junk planet. The list goes on...

    AmiAmi has athe 31F in stock for 19390. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-039718
  22. If that were the case, then why have a Jedi academy and make potential Jedi go through years of training? I think that’s just one aspect of it is that yes, you need to believe in the force and it’s abilities, but they also had to learn how to harness its power. I don’t for a second believe that because Rey heard some stories it and then had said stories confirmed makes her all powerful. She was able to defeat a weakened Kylo, use force powers like a force pull, beat Luke in a sparring match, take out some Royal Guards, all in the span of 3 days.
  23. His character was significantly expanded in the EU, having survived the Sarlacc pit and eventually leading the Mandalorians. He finally lived up to the hype in the books and play a big role a few story lines, especially the Yuuzhan Vong war and the fight against Darth Caedus (he trains Jaina Solo).
  24. I refuse to let Disney ruin the last 20 years or so of books I’ve bought and read. To me they will always be canon and have by far superior writing than both TFA (rehash of movies/EU books anyways) and TLJ.
