  1. Past hour
  2. Just about done trashing the bug. I was afraid I might've gone too far... ...but the client is apparently pleased. 😅 Fabulous panel lining! 😍 Never seen those flame effects on the legs before. Cool decals.
  3. You know the really funny/stupid thing.. this is essentially the exact same mistake Yamato made: spending a mountain of money developing a line of toys so niche that they really didn't even have enough of a domestic market to turn a profit. Bandai could easily milk the market for all it has to offer if they focused on something there is an established domestic demand for... but no, they just want to chase a market that is likely even smaller than the one Yamato targeted, because apparently they're just completely certain Macross 7 will be profitable this time. In a market where it never originally aired, and is probably the most mocked in the franchise as a whole. But what do I know. I'm not one of Bandai's market analysts. Maybe they just know history better or something.
  4. Today
  5. Lol. Nice! I caught some dungeness yesterday and we had some with our turkey today.
  6. Message sent to you with photo of it
  7. I will. It has the same image as the blue Macross bag I have
  8. The Yamano what? Can you show a pic?
  9. Has anyone figured out if these kits are 1/12 scale, close to that size or waaaay smaller?
  10. I got the Long Haul kit (I forget the designator). I wish they'd make a kit with only their more articulated arms for Bonecrusher, Mixmaster, and Scavenger, as I'd jump on that in a heartbeat. Bonecrusher and Mixmaster, especially, could use those arm upgrades.
  11. cdjapan listing: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/BCQA-26 10000y --- add/edit: A-On Store link and some sample details of the First-Run LEs for the 15400y option: https://a-onstore.jp/shop/macross-plus/#first-ver @Seto Kaiba might just be interested in the artbook goodies as potential additions to the M3 site...
  12. I'm happy with my first issue and won't be double-dipping, but It's a great figure, and there's an excellent argument to be made that it's the best official, and perhaps just simply the best ever, version of the character in toy form. That said, as mentioned earlier in the thread, while his bot mode is nigh perfect (needs better shoulder engineering), his vehicle mode is definitely his weakest and could use some work. But it still stands as one of the best figs thus far to come out of the SS86 subline.
  13. Just to clarify, the VF-31B is not a Master File variant. It's an official setting variant that IIRC was first mentioned in Great Mechanics G's Spring '16 issue. We've never seen it (as far as we know), but it's one of two variants mentioned as the mass-production "standard type" VF-31. Per Kawamori, the VF-31A/B types that Xaos has are the same in all respects as the ones that will eventually be delivered to the Brisingr Alliance NUNS. It's unclear if the VF-31B is meant to be a tandem cockpit training version of the VF-31A similar to how Master File describes the VF-19B and VF-25B, or if it's an improved single-seat production type like the VF-11B. Weird that this makes the third different explanation of the Siegfried's origins though. The TV series materials say it's a modified VF-31A, the Master File says it's a separate VF-31 based off a prototype, and the novelization says it's derived from the VF-31B. Macross Delta's cast is just too big for the length of the series. Macross Frontier had 25 episodes, and the important main and secondary cast amounted to nine characters: Alto, Sheryl, Ranka, Ozma, Michael, Luca, Nanase, Grace, and Leon. Macross Delta had only one more episode than Frontier but its core cast was more than twice the size at 21 people. You had the five members of Delta Flight, five Walkure idols, Ernest Johnson, Roid, the six Aerial Knights, King Grammier, Prince Heinz, and Berger Stone. The story was simply not long enough to give most of them more than the absolute minimum of development.
  14. There's a very good chance we aren't seeing any other 19 variants if prices are dropping off that fast.
  15. Preorder In! Been waiting for these!
  16. Not sure if there is an existing post for these kits so please delete if redundant. Preorders are up for the Moderoid Mospeada cyclones. https://www.hlj.com/moderoid-mospeada-vr-052f-stick-type-genesis-climber-mospeada-gsc18995
  17. I think it was a free perk. I am pretty sure it was. The Yamano Music Macross wallet is another free perk.
  18. @derex3592 That Blackbird looks fantastic!
  19. Hahahaha I do have a pickle coming up next though so there’s that. Lol
  20. That ain't no turkey!!
  21. Post pumpkin pie final touches. Don’t mind the table cloth. Lol Was so excited to share. 1:144 LED Mirage V3. Will try for a better natural light pic in the morning.
