    HMR VF-19P

    In the EU I have to pay DHL €7 for each package that I import (in addition to %20 import VAT) so my strategy is to use shopping sites that allow me to store a lot of stuff and then ship it out so I only have to pay the €7 once and not for every item.
  3. Today
  4. Ummm.... I was browsing Macross listings on AmiAmi and.... WTF is this???? It's... It's.... that ain't right..... https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-188368
  5. Some pics I saw in taghobby of the Classic Ryu prototype these are getting very expensive, but I really want this one
  6. I haven’t really had any problems with them. I’ve built a few sets of the front missions kits and they seem to get better every set. This will be on a larger kit, so probably as far as this kit, the surfaces seem simpler and a lot of the parts are already remolded, even the face is prepainted. I’ll definitely put it ahead of my backlog though and let you know how it all goes.

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    Nice! Doujin /fanfic magazine info if anyone does one!
  8. Yeah, that's how I ensured all my Master Grade Mobile Suits were visible:
  9. @nightmareB4macross Thanks. I Love how silly and “clunky” it looks. Hope to finish it up in the next couple days. @SteveTheFish Thanks. Also those builds look great! Thanks for sharing. I hope you give those crystal paints a go on the ship you mentioned. It takes on a very different look based on the value of the underpainting. It’s more vibrant on a darker value but also as interesting in a different way on lighter values. Here is the green crystal color over a white base paint on the armor and also on the green shield. In the right light it shimmers the green pearl effects. Oh I also used the red crystal color on the orange buster cannon. It’s really hard to photograph but fun stuff, 😊 @Big s Yeah I will painting the wings in the shimmering pearlescent blue too. I haven’t tried those crystal paints on clear parts yet so that will be fun to see how it turns out.

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    In my headcanon, I will treat this as a very early development test version of the VF-171 that still used some VF-17 parts, before the VF-171 design had been completely finalised. And it had been assigned to Diamond Force for flight testing. 😅
  11. Good luck. If it's at all like the quality of their other [XYZ] Arts lines, you'll be pulling your hair out before long. 😕
  12. A clear pearl color might look really cool for the wings on some of these bug kits
  13. That looks nice! Thanks for sharing! I have some Mr. Color Crystal paints too, but I've yet to use them. I have a model from the Ikaruga shmup video game and while it is essentially white, my idea is to section parts of it off and do variations with those different pearlescent paints. Alright, so I've posted a couple of photosets of recently completed models. Hasegawa 1:72 Armored Valkyrie Tsukuda 1:6 Evangelion sofubi figure set of Rei and Asuka
  14. So I couldn’t afford the action figures anymore since they’re so expensive these days, but at $64, I think I can do this. Looks pretty fun to me and I think it’s about the same as the bring art’s height.definitely will get this Cloud model kit
  15. Looking good. How I wish Clover would have released all these ABD figures for their SF Fantasy line.
  16. oh yeah baby... iconic MS right there ....army build possibilities for those who have the time and resources....

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    No PO madness for this one... still available on HLJ.. Am on board this as a stealth-ish looking vf-17-ish, since the old DX vf-171 CF which was a closer(?)-ish-ish stealth look had not the best reputations.... lots of '-ish's... likely a fighter mode on display but even then, for a stealthly colors look and definitely not on proportions... but the past few pages has been no less classic macrossworld dissections of the vf-17.... awesome! no doubt, i would wish for a new better represented proportion wise, DX VF-17, but who knows when that would be...
  18. I'll wait to ship my Macross preorders from Anime Export, Yoyakunow, Nin Nin Game, and Hobby Genki when there are cheaper shipping options. Good thing their private warehouses won't be charging fees.

  20. So I wonder how many Misa Hayses and Hikaru Ichijyos are running around out there then?
  21. interesting web-translated verbiage admission from official Tamashii Nations... https://twitter.com/t_features/status/1973245276841533522 web-translated: "working backwards from the evolved VF-171". The comments on that tweeter-feed were quite amusing. Also, someone noticed the front landing gear of the DX 17S is a bit too far up front... https://twitter.com/cross_W42S/status/1973454106531688659
  22. Probably still on Earth. Those early emigrant fleets were partly crewed by clones in order to provide enough people with important skill sets, so a lot of folks with engineering and design backgrounds are probably still on Earth (or at best, Luna).
  23. lol hlj limit is 1 per customer... i'm not sure who wants 2. BBTS is $299... i won't criticize BBTS for this, perhaps that is the msrp price for the US that is set by Bandai, someone must be smoking rocks or out of touch setting that MSRP
  24. I'm not sure, but I think at some point they may have changed how HLJ places charges in yen? I've had my paypal linked to my account for a long time, and always flagged to use yen by default, but they might not accept new requests to use that method. I wouldn't quite blame them, since the way the exchange rate has fluctuated has resulted in some wild price differences over the past couple of years.
