That sucks.

And does dogfighting count anymore when targeting and missiles can hit before you even reach visual range? I'm a bit of a Romantic, in that I like the thought of a 'fighter' being able to fight, but more of the tech is geared to avoid that.
-
Is there even a 1/60 scale Transformable Valkyrie toy without any issues ???
-
...this is an interesting look into the J-50: https://youtu.be/oTUsjtD7HIQ?si=GsSRywlvpsFh_8UQ Although tailless is not a new thing, I wonder how effective can this design work as a dogfighter. Agility is not likely to be in the design brief, however if it were to be seen, does it become a giant flare?
-
You know, with today's graphics power I think there's an opportunity to remake spectacular rail shooters... Panzer, Sin & Punishment, etc... Haven't they updated light gun technology so it's usable with current-gen displays? They were simple, but so much fun.
-
Gerwalk mode or not yours is mis-assembled/assembled incorrectly. You can leave it if you feel like it has no issues. As provided by the Bandai's instructions above, it should be taken apart and swapped.

Did they dial down the cat-tyness of her facial features?

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
JB0 replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
I'm glad to hear he survived the zentradi bombardment in 2010. -
I feel like Panzer Dragoon 2 could be redone to be amazing... but that is not it.
-
really? but why I look at it, is it in correct way as Bandai showing the correct assembly condition picture. Oh the picture I post the shoulders is not in 90 degree pose because in gerwalk mode. So I adjusted and take another picture
-
Finally done the pre-order for the Legioss Omega.
-
Beautiful.
-
-
Right? The VF-17 is supposed to be a heavy battroid. Looks like Gamlin skipped leg day at the gym...

we're digressing, the whole point is what it looks like in the anime. I was responding just to one point of your comment to Chronocidal. I agree with some of your points but I wanted to debunk just one specific point. You brought up a point of the 171 and 17 have the same leg sizes and it's the CG vs. M7 art style the reason the proportions look different. I was responding that it isn't the reason the 171 looks thinner than the vf-17 by comparison of a CG VF-1 compared with M7 and SDF-1 TV/DYRL Macross depicts the VF-1 consistently, CG or not. Kawamori at the helm of all these shows he's going to make sure the VF-1 are proportionately the same CG or not. So the 171 being done in CG is not a great reason for the difference in leg size between the 171 and 17. if you can link me to the source of the material that says the 171 and 17 legs are identical in size, I'd appreciate it. (i'd like to read up and crappy General Galaxy designs) but yes, I agree with you, Bandai sucks with this one.
-
Hopefully, Bandai doubles down on that "mistake" prototype they showed years ago and releases that TV-Style SDF-1. Maybe even compound the bad decisions by adding a Macross city in the legs and adding magnets and solid locking mechanisms for the main guns. That would sure show us!!!!111!11!!!!!1!!1!!

Yeah I'm holding off on any purchases until we get more options. Japan seems to be a blanket 10% tariff? But add processing fees etc... Heard on a MB Facebook group that even bringing stuff in your luggage can get tariffed if over a certain value. Seems to depend on border agent but also targeting China and Japan incoming flights.
-
Looking back at the promo shots. Still cant get over how skinny the VF-17 is as compared to the VF-19 Fire Valkyrie Really hope that this is a mock up and bandai will do some changes to beef up the legs of the VF-17S
-
Yea... a 3d printer and also a scanner (would help). I have the first release 171EX and the re-issue from a few years ago, but idk if I want to put the leg work in for something Bandai is probably going to or already has lined up. Yup not sure about the backpack cannons either, but Bandai can also change that part (the cockroach shell) of the mold up to include connection slots with minimal effort. That's a lot less work that modeling a part up from scratch (ie. the thick legs). I only modeled up a VF22S conversion because I fanboyed hard, lol.
-
I'd honestly like to see them try. It would be a technical marvel, starting with crazy instructions to teach the customer to detach the old waist/lower fuselage, because I don't see fat legs fitting without dropping the hip pivot to stay centered with their thickness. TBF, the leg packs might already work, with some ugly bracing using the armor pack's plugs to hang the pack up against the wing, or they invent an external layer of armor as the brace. Wait, they could just make the original thick legs as the armor, and that armor could have the correct connection to the leg packs. It might actually work. Free idea for bandai. Just come preassembled with armor in the shape of the anime accurate legs, and pretend the intake/thigh gap from wearing armor isn't there, or cover it with extended armor. Nobody will know the 171's legs are inside 😁. I'm sure bandai won't have the balls to do it, but maybe someone with a 3D printer can figure it out The real magic is actually with the backpack cannons that come with the pack, because the cockroach shell has no connection slots and can't be latched on with hooks around the edges because they have to leave clearance for the arms and wings on all sides. Those will need double sided tape, or tossing out and replacing the top half of the plane.

I don't wanna check all the eps, but I'lll take your word for it. I'm assuming those didn't transform into battroid, which makes it easy for them to not care about proportions in CG. Dropping legs for gerwalk that might have happened in Delta did is not an issue. I've caught satellite straight up clipping, morphing, and camera blocking during transformation in the recent red ranger isekai anime with the CG megazord. It goes to show that CG doesn't mean much for correct proportions with full transformationa and articulation when it's still in animation. It's like how there's a VF-22 in delta, but everyone knows that thing can't transform in CG with the canonical designs. If it did, it would morph just as much as it was hand drawn. I'm even requested a check on the in game models in another thread. Even the games have to cheat and clip the shoulders inside the belly plate and make invisible the bits sticking out, and then have the whole assembly detached and fly out magically to reach the intake sockets while the yellow bits just disappear. CG doesn't mean it's a correct and realistically working depiction. What's at hand here is not a matter of how it's depicted in animation. It's that Kawamori or some supplementary magazine or some other product blurb invented some lore and set the stage for Bandai to be lazy here.

OH OH OH, I know what Bandai is going to do... they'll make correct thick leg fast pack add-ons available through PBJP! LOL... 🤣🙄
-
ahh okay my mistake for reading too far in then, lol. Okay if its just screws and swaps that should be fine.👍
