  1. Looks like they are reissuing their 1/60 VF-1S. Up for pre-order now.

  3. If Moehime is indeed in Ehime prefecture, then I would say that there is a good chance that former NY employees may be involved. I haven't been able to verify their address anywhere. I haven't been pushed to buy from them to find out. If they took control of the remaining NY stock, then they may owe some of us some items. Although I doubt any of us would be able to get what NY owed.
  4. The problem is that the 1/55 VF-1 set the bar so high that anything Macross is pretty much expected to meet or exceed it. For years most transforming toys only looked good in one mode and only from the top. Its hard to argue that the Zeta Gundam looked good in it's waverider mode. Gobots.... Well... You know.... Macross toys are expected to look good in pretty much every mode at any angle. High bar? Absolutely. Unreasonable? Most likely.
  5. AKA also hire T-Rex to design your transforming toys?
  6. Well there was the YF-19 broken head laser incident in the past... I believe it was largely due to inadequate packaging. I don't know if Bandai learned the right lessen from that though. Bendy Laser less likely to snap in the box better?

    Macross figures

    Just happen to see this on amiami: SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE FIGURE 38,500JPY. "Macross Frontier " Ranka Lee -Amaterasu Ver.- 1/7 Complete Figure "Macross Frontier " Sheryl Nome -Tsukuyomi Ver.- 1/7 Complete Figure
  8. One more episode of Mushoku Tensei. Then we all wait until April for another 12 episodes.
  9. While I cannot speak for BBTS, the last few orders I've made have been shipped by boat. It seems to be about 2 to 3 months. People seem to get their shipping notices before I do as there seems to be no rush on boat shipping. People have been talking about their HMR VF-0D for a month now. I don't expect to see mine for at least another month.
  10. Luna Park, based on posts from members here, tries to save on shipping. The try to use as little packing materials as possible. That being said, if you care about the condition of your retail box, look elsewhere. If you have no other choice, then all you can do is hope for the best.
  11. It is a WWM release so it should be fairly easy to get. With the current exchange rate you may be better off getting it from a Japanese vendor. Its like a nice discount or free shipping. Going to pass on this one. I don't "need it". I just happened to see it when I was browsing AmiAmi and started looking around. Best of luck to everyone!
  12. So speaking of Star Wars... Following my trauma that was Episodes 7, 8 & 9, I had an epiphany of sorts. I now like to remind people (because it amuses me) that the Empire is the "Legitimately Elected Government". Aside from the issues with "Terrorists" (Rebels), It is largely a peaceful time. As such, Storm Troopers are largely used as a "Police Force" and as such need to stand out as representatives of the "Legitimately Elected Government".
  13. So what about the "Ace pilot", in the brightly colored custom military whatever, bringing terror to the enemy and destroying their morale? Does it work in reality? Red Barron like?
  14. Actual Yamato molds no. Everything is just a hair bigger. However, it wouldn't be too difficult to get a Yamato assembly kit and base your molds off of that.
  15. One of my coworkers brought out his old Jetfire. The poor thing was just falling apart as he tried to transform it. The tail fins and backpack fell off. I don't know how far he got into the transformation before he stopped.

    Hi-Metal R

    Depending on where you live, the exchange rate could be in your favor. It could be effectively like 45% off or so.
  17. So while I totally agree with you, I believe that since this is sort of founded on sci-fi samurai, the Sparta is an armored horse. 🐎
  18. Yup! No instructions or papers of any kind in the KO box. The thighs on my VF-1S Hikaru KO have gaps along the front of them. I cannot do anything to get them to close up. I never looked into the ratchet joints to see if they are reversed of not as I've never taken apart my Arcadias. Guess I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the tip!
  19. Come to think about it.... Did I get instructions with my KO? I don't remember. I need to go look. It be at work.
