That's not the Bandai DX. The landing gear are the wrong color.
-
It came apart at the seams where it was glued together. I can just super glue it back in the morning after I pick up some more glue. It's just shoddy assembly by Bandai, since that part's only purpose is to help line up the swing bar in fighter mode. Considering how liberal Bandai is with gluing anything and everything together, it's a bit surprising that such a part would come apart at all.
-
Part broke while transforming my 1J. It's an easy enough fix, but considering it's a part that doesn't move at all, it shouldn't break so easily. Very shoddy, Bandai.

The DX strike parts look good, but I feel they're a step backwards on a toy that's made a bunch of steps forward. That's Bandai for you: always two steps forward, one step back. The lack of internal detail isn't a dealbreaker for me, but it's disappointing that Bandai cheaped out there. The color is a wash (looks way too blue in some pics), and the tampo is borderline excessive/obnoxious. Aside from the tampo printing, the DX strike parts are a step backwards from what Yamato did 10+ years ago. Let's not forget the gigantic holes that Bandai left in the legs of the DX for attachment points, instead of just using Yamato's way of connecting that doesn't leave big unsightly holes on the legs.

So, uh, shipping is not going to be cheap on the Metal Structure RX-93.
-
Whoa whoa, are you saying that Bandai misrepresented their products to us, their loyal customer base? That's never happened before!
-
Hey noel, didn't know you were also in the neighborhood at the time! When did you go? I'm afraid if you weren't there the day stores started selling, then you were outta luck, unless you were way out in the boonies.
-
Yeah, so unlike NY and AE, BiJ had separate listings for the SSP December batch and the April batch. That's why I ordered a set from them for my 1S, as I knew I'd get it in December. The others can wait till April since we don't have those valks yet.
-
I had a feeling AE might shaft those of us who ordered early by making us wait till April, and I needed a 4th set anyway, so I ordered a set from Big in Japan and already got a shipping notice for it.
-
SSP available now if you don't want to wait until April. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1126326850&ref=list&keyword=マクロス

That's much better than putting the hands back into the arms!
-
Here you go. It's for 1/60 but the mini skull emblem is just right for the DX. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-60-Macross-VF-1-transformation-VF-1A-S-Model-Kit-Water-Slide-Decal-21x29cm/382171649589?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item58fb349635:g:RM4AAOSwIGlZbcOf

I'm curious what toys he's referring to that allowed storage of all the accessories like swappable hands.
-
Probably shouldn't use the same argument as people who opposed minimum wages, child labor laws, and regulations banning putting arsenic in food. If you're so "pro-freedom" then you should appreciate his freedom to complain about a product he feels is unsatisfactory.
-
Do the leg armors have any internal details or are they also just as empty?
-
1S available at AE for highway robbery price. http://www.anime-export.com/product/46137

Big in Japan just sent me a shipping notice for my engine-less, propellant tank-less strike parts.
-
Bandai is busy palette swapping another Metal Build Gundam to "reissue."
-
Sold. Hope someone here got it.
-
1S available now! Hurry! https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1125044023&ref=list&keyword=マクロス&lang=en
-
Where's the engine?
-
Let that be a lesson to you. Always check Bandai's release schedule before booking your flight.

As a wise man once said, "If you're good at something, never do it for free."
-
Absolutely. "Selling out" is an integral part of of the industry. Had a good chuckle at "artistic integrity" though.

Kawamori will approve anything if you drive a dump truck full of money to his house. And so would I. Kawamori isn't made of stone.
