    i didn't say i had any negative experience with blufin so there's no need to apologize to me. I am responding to your post that "you're surprised that we're surprised post." implying blufin sends a complete valk instead of parts as your standard experience. Meanwhile there are pages and pages in this thread with blufin not even sending a small replacement antenna for the yf-21 while members waiting 3 months to hear a response from bluefin only to hear they won't do anything. While some had success getting a replacement antenna. There is not one post here of blufin sending an entire valk instead of a replacement part. This is a first. So i was surprised. Can you show me on this thread or on the entire Macross forums of anyone getting an entire valk as a replacement from bluefin? When you say it's standard practice for Bluefin to send a whole valk, can you show some past evidence? There are multiple threads on the Macross toys from Bandai Namco. I've never seen one post till now.

    I remember. Well, someone finally realized it existed as they went through that page to deactivate every PO on it. I did, but I am expressing my experience here, and I have had conversations elsewhere where I, more often than not, have heard of the same result. Oh, I had thought that would change once Bluefin was gone, but even now being Bandai Namco I have heard of this result. I'm sorry that you and some others haven't had the same experience, and I'm not implying you did anything wrong or were undeserving, but, truly, I was not at all surprised he received a new valk. No acting required. Like I said, it would seem that's more trouble than it's worth to whoever handled that claim.

    Thank you! Super grateful for your kind words! I started this for fun a few years ago, then of course, work got in the way. However, I'm re-inspired now that work has slowed down a little. Wanna see inside the restaurant? Type "YES" for more.

    I didn’t even know there was a Macross fan club back then, let alone one here in the States that would put up posters of the movie

    You may have to see if things just have a simple stitch and try and break that to get to the damaged part, it could be possible that it just slipped out of joint, and may be an easy pop in place. Then redo the stitch. Hopefully things aren’t just glued

    Absolute insanity. Seeing that they gimped it of all the fiddly bits presumably to deactivate it from being a displayable unit, yet didn't bother to just yank the fin out and mail it for cheaper is crazy. Anyway, I'm guessing that they threw in the extra canopy despite all that because they know it's made of the latest iteration of explodium.

    Really amazing work! This looks incredible! I've been messing with something kind of like it over in the 3D Collections thread and trying to build a "livable" version of the Al Shahal environment from Delta, but I won't ever be in this league. Great stuff and I look forward to what you do with it next!

    Remember in the 1980's that it wasn't unusual for 3 to 5 years to pass between sequels of your favorite films. I want another good Batman not the fastest.

    can you read the thread instead of acting surprised? Bluefin always taking care of you is not the common experience for everyone. It's 50-50. There are those that weren't taken care off. Apparently, you did not read Macrossjunky's posts.

    Too true. More than half of the links I don't click is because the title sounds too outrageous or click-baity. And there are some I would love to click on and say, 'you know this is b.s.' but then I would have clicked it and that's all it needs!

    Possibly. Battery life is a big factor; I can't go back to the battery life if the Ally after upgrading to the Ally X. Price is a concern, too. I mean, I can only speculate until it's officially announced, but I feel like the Ally 2 would be more expensive than the Ally X even before tariffs are factored in. And finally, performance. If the Ally 2 is an incremental upgrade I'll probably pass. I can't realistically upgrade to a new handheld every year for a few extra fps on low settings. Z2 Extreme would need to be a pretty major upgrade to tempt me (pretty sure Aerith isn't).

    I have placed my order Tread in nin nin, I can only trust…🤷🏻
  15. Apok451
    Im surprised because they pretty told me to frakk off, we are out of the parts and and you are screwed. I also bought it from the TN storefront on Amazon that they claim to know nothing of. Whatever.

    Kinda bananas they sent you a whole valk lol. Is the left wing flap at the tip missing, or just happened to have worked its way loose & still within the clamshell?
  17. MKT
    LOL I did try... as far as I could tell, the pants are part of a bodysuit that likely goes up to his neck. I wanted to remove his jacket to see what's going on under, but the belt is in the way & I'm not sure how to remove that.

    I'm surprised you guys are surprised! That's been pretty standard for my experience with them ever since they were Bluefin, and now actually Bandai Namco. It is apparently easier for them to just send that than open a box and part out something. The only change here is that they sent him it without another retail box. Last time I had a warranty issue, they just grabbed a retail boxed item and shipped it.
  19. Radioguy
    Just quoting that for posterity.

    That really sucks. I’m assuming there’s also no way to slide the pants down either.

    We'll likely find out in 2 weeks at Computex. The black version may be an Xbox(?) version with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme while a White version will use an AMD Aerith Plus (successor to the SteamDeck's CPU). I'd wager that the battery life is probably on-par to the Ally X.
  23. davidwhangchoi
    are you planning on upgrading when Ally 2 hits? I sold my steam deck without even opening it. I had no time to use it so i sold it off before the LED version hit and depreciated in value. No sense holding unto something i had no time to use. This looks pretty interesting to be honest.

    Love the low vis!

    Remember kids, we're living in the age where everything is "Explosive", "shocking", "will rock the industry", etc... because nothing gets more clicks than click bait. Hell, the whole Youtube algorithm is based off click bait titles. YT channels have specifically said that because if they don't play the game, their video never gets seen by the audience. Same goes for news and "news". If it doesn't come with a blatantly obvious stupid headline, you'll never click on it.

    Wow, that's wild. I know Bandai is an absolute pain for refusing to replace individual parts, but I never thought they would go so far as to just send the entire valk. The crazy thing about this is that now you've got, essentially, a giant spare parts bin in case something else breaks. Too bad they didn't send you the engine petals though, or it would have actually been a fair piece to display.

    Some superb work on Macross models these days . Wow..!
