  1. so, perhaps I am just ignorant, but is this showing a Metal Robot Damashii Destiny Gundam as well? Is that supposed to depict the destiny gundam power transferring to the Impulse Gundam Spec 2? Twich
  2. In hind sight, although the giant gun was part of the intimidation factor, I wish that the VF-27 had a VF-25 or YF-29 sized gun for practicality in toy form, anyway…… Twich
  3. If I remember correctly, didn’t Bandai tease a revival DX Chogokin VF-27? Twich
  4. Yeah, a first release 1/60 scale VF-0D goes for 50000 yen used, where as most DX Chogokin from Bandai are 22000-30000 yen. I know/realize that Arcadia is smaller and therefore doesn’t have the profit margin to make things lower priced, but one could hope that if Arcadia can sell outside of Japan, more production numbers might mean more profits for them. I can dream….. I guess we will find out Twich
  5. God, I wish the regular Hi-Metal R VF-0 toys came with a fraction of the stickers I see that this custom has added. I guess maybe I can hope that Arcadia will re-release the 1/60 scale VF-0's with WWM and competitive pricing too! Twich
  6. Thanks! It will seem almost surreal having the ability to buy the Blu-rays along with streaming it wherever I am, no more 100GB of storage used on my iPhone and iPad! Twich
  7. God, I hope that cancellation does not occur! I’m really looking forward to all releases! Twich
  8. Could this be a tease of the new designs for the upcoming Macross series? Twich
  9. At 1/28 scale, I am wondering how much a beast like that will retail for. Considering that most of Toynami's releases are at the higher end of price, I am wincing at what will be the MSRP. I am looking forward to this though, as I have loved the design of the Legioss for quite some time and wish I had the disposable income to afford one of the Sentinel offerings. Twich
  10. Question, has there ever been a figure or robot damashi of the murasame from Gundam seed destiny? I am a sucker for transformable mobile suits! Thanks, Twich
  11. I think that I might be getting too old to build Gundams…..I just completed my kit if the 1/100 Full Mechanics Gundam Aerial, and the first thing I noticed is that my damn hands shake, and despite glasses, those little parts are almost too small to see. I have given up on stickers/decals and leave that to my 15 year old son………sucks getting old! When I got this Metal Build Strike Gundam, it was perfect! Didn’t really have to assemble it! Toughest thing was assembling the Launcher Striker accessory set and posing the big gun with the Strike Gundam holding it! The Metal Builds I am seeing are around the same price as a Macross jet, so not too crazy! Twich
  12. So I have a question on this release, the leg armor of the VF-171ex has these little flaps, and on these flaps it looks like it has little guns on it, like the hip guns of the VF-25/27 and YF-29. This is not listed in the stats, as far as I can tell, so what are these? Twich
  13. The reason I asked was that when I was in the Tamashii Nations Store in Times Square, I was debating between the Chogokin Gundam Aerial or the Metal Build Strike Gundam Heliopolis Rollout Version store exclusive. I really like the look of both figures, but went with the strike Gundam due to being the store exclusive. I have Always wanted the Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite Zeta Plus Gundam, but didn’t want to pay the ridiculous price for an aged, used toy. I Love to build Gunpla, but I got the Metal Robot Spirits Wing Gundam Zero last year and it was an amazing figure, though a bit small and really got me interested in the other Gundam offerings. Thanks for explaining! Twich
  14. It is unfortunate that this wonderful design has not seen a transforming toy, even a Hi Metal R would be wonderful! Great job with the kit and paint job! Twich
  15. The mecha, which is the main draw for me for looking at this thread, it would be interesting to see Toynami or Kitzconcepts take on the YF-4, or what ever it is called in the comics. Twich

    Hi-Metal R

    I am looking forward to this and the DX Chogokin VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie. I am still on the fence about a VF-11 with speaker boobs for Mylene custom, but might be my only chance to get a transforming VF-11, unless Bandai decides to give it the DX treatment. Twich
  17. So, I am pretty new to the whole non-Gunpla side of Gundam. I have a Metal Robot Spirits Wing Gundam Zero and I love it, though it is a bit small......I recently got a Metal Build Strike Gundam Tamashii Store exclusive Heliopolis rollout release and I have to say that I am very impressed with the detail and heft of the Metal Build Strike Gundam. I am a little frustrated with the Launcher accessory add on kit that I bought along with it, the shoulder piece falls off way too easily and the big gun on the arm is unwieldy as all get out to try to manipulate and make it look good. My Question is, is there a Metal Build Zeta Gundam or Zeta Plus Gundam? I know of the Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite Zeta Plus set, but I do not think it is the same as a metal build.....What would people recommend? Thanks! Twich
  18. So I see that the regular release of the Fugo FS-01 VF-1S God of Flame release has also been pushed to Q3 2024. So I guess the hold up is not the stand..... Twich

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Finally got home from vacation and got to open my acquisitions. The VF-171EX Armored was stressful moving the legs to get the armor on, I was so worried the legs would snap off it I moved it wrong! Love the new YF-19! I don’t need the missiles or fast packs, but that is my preference, I already have the VF-19 Advance. The Tiny Sessions VF-25F Tamashii Store exclusive is my first Tiny Session toy, and I think it is really nice, though I will have to play around with it more to see if it is $50 nice. Twich
  20. I have mine waiting at home for me when I return from vacation….will have a Bandai DX Chogokin YF-19 that I acquired from Tamashii Nations Store in New York City to go along with it. I know that the YF-19 is similar to the VF-19Advance, as far as the toy goes, but I am just excited to have both, since I never owned a VF-17/VF-171 before now and I’m looking forward to matching these up with the YF-21 I have pre-ordered from BBTS. Twich
  21. Why did the card on the VF-1J Rick say “prototype, pending licenser approval”. I thought the VF-1J was a done deal? Twich
  22. So, does anyone have any insight as to why this was pushed to W3 2024 on the ShowZStore Website? Twich
