    Wow nice mod!

    I look at this way: so long as Harmony Gold exists, this is very likely the closest representation of G1 Jetfire we're ever going to get, and I think they chose a good base for it. As a KO, it's going to have its flaws and inaccuracies, but overall, they're not so egregious, in my experience with my copy, to ruin the toy for what it's supposed to be. I keep mine in battroid with FAST packs on and it looks pretty amazing standing next to my SS86 Ultra Magnus. Some of the deco is off, unfortunately, but there's enough intact livery from the G1 toy to make it instantly recognizable, and I can live with that. Should Toyhax put out a sticker set for it, I'll likely bite, but for now, IMHO, it looks pretty sweet upon the shelf.

    If they do go with being able to produce it, I would say have it just after they found a method. That way, while they can produce it, it's labor intensive, and is going to be slow for the foreseeable future. Just because they find a way doesn't mean it needs to be easy, and it doesn't have to be all at once; perhaps enough to start outfitting a squadron's worth of mechs in a given space of time. It could also prompt other powers or interests to either try to gain that advantage for themselves, or try to sabotage the NUNS' efforts to produce it, That could make for some interesting storylines in of itself.

    With a Battroid that towers everything that isn't a Variable bomber, I can believe it could be used for long term missions like that. Not entirely sure if the Master File crew would even care about M3 beyond surface level lip surface (heck, even official material doesn't with any game with maybe VF-X2 and 30 as the exceptions), but my mind went to the few units the rebel group New York Liberation League had in Episode 3, alongside their VF-1 and Gnerls. Presumably it was to get stronger aircraft that wasn't a generation behind, but they seem to have enough influence against Neo York's planetary government that there's a delicate balance between them. It's a bit of a shame that even in MF weren't a lot of VF-3000s built, but not only it was something official materials stated long ago, but considering the 2nd generation was about having cost effective units in the world of blooming planetary governments, its cost effectiveness wouldn't be worth it considering it's larger then any airframe in that period, and most importantly, the joint slipping would be too much of a detriment to any governing body to adopt. Reminds me of how apparently in the Frontier novelization, it was said that SMS seemed to have a few Sv-52s used for The Bird Man movie, which is a pretty rare craft itself; I don't doubt SMS is rich enough to have a few genuine aircraft, but with Magdalena's being a replica based on a Sv-51 frame, makes me think if there were other cases of them being found and having replicas built. Although thinking about it more, I was under the assumption that the movie filmed in Frontier was the first public exposure of Zero's events, unless the MF's talking about war movies that depict other sorties and incidents with the Sv-51's involvement? They seem to be very few and far between. It's placement in the timeline being very dubious, since it's another "bashing everyone in a single timeline" game, but Shooting Insight in its finial stages seem to have all grey units of the Sv-303 being regular enemies, perhaps prototypes of the ones piloted by Yami Q Ray? They were deployed by the main villain of the story, Eris Beatrix, who is a member of Epsilon Foundation, so it doesn't seem unlikely. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a VF-19 with the 5th Gen VFs and make up a in-universe excuse that explains why they can't make high performance units like the VF-25, or even its Delta era contemporaries and make the 5th Gen grunts have a low quality fold quartz to make the 6th Gen VFs stand out even more. Assuming they even dabble with it anyways, wouldn't be surprised if we're stuck with the stick figure frames for a little bit more.

    Are the METAL ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE MS> Gundam's 1/144 scale? So smaller then Metal Build or Chogokin Gundam's? I was looking for a RX 78 Gundam that is close to the original model released in the early 80's and came across this version! Is there a 1/100 scale version of this figure? Thanks!

    Quick test assembly for my beloved legioss gakken mod with extended knees, feet, and a much better cockpit !

    It's a brilliant toy. No doubt. I picked up mine at around $200 when Yamato was still around. And these days, i personally can't justify that 60,000 yen price for any of my hobbies anymore. If it's your holy grail, then it's worth it, obviously.
  11. Mommar
    No cracks on my 11's, two of which I paid $120 for...
  12. 68whiskey
    I like that they made the colors more bold on this one compared to the previous
  13. MKT
    It's a sight to so many v2s in a single formation, plus most have been detailed up nicely.
  14. camk4evr
    Being Canadian, it took me a moment to figure out the joke.
  15. jenius
    The same problem happens in the 11B and there are a couple other hinges that will have similar cracks.
  16. Chronocidal
    I noticed this too, but I would just chalk it up to general KO imprecision. I wouldn't be surprised if it was related to the check locking tabs, and their relative size. Everything's just a little off compared with the originals. It's not enough to make it fall apart (mostly), but things just don't fit quite as well.
  17. DewPoint
    I've fallen behind. Finally started watching Frieren. I basically agree with everyone: last season was pretty meh overall. Now its sequel season!

    Starting a new one... Cultural Exchange with a Game Centre Girl. After one episode, it feels like light "feel good" sort of entertainment. Nothing deep or complex, just people having fun together and learning about each other. If I had to sum it up in a short punchy remark... "It's a vibe". A very cheerful, upbeat vibe at that. Another new one... See You Tomorrow at the Food Court. Between the general weirdness, the constant non-sequiturs, and the shortform stories it reminds me a lot of Azumanga Daioh.
  19. Masked Aviator
    Yes, B2Five's ride armor. Details can be found in page 340 onwards ... 2 years ago.
  20. Froy
    Picking up my 13th on Monday. Don't know where it is going to stop, lol.
  21. Goodman Models
    Working on the crewmen.
  22. Seto Kaiba
    Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter has a new episode... and it's probably going to be the first series I drop this season.
  23. mantisfists
    Wasn't there a ride armor that fit the pilot figure for the Pose+ Legioss?
  24. Seto Kaiba
    That is definitely another possibility, yes. To be honest, I kind of hope that Macross's creators don't go that route yet. The scarcity of fold quartz and its amazing potential to revolutionize technology has been the centerpiece of two major conflicts in the setting thus far. Unless we're moving way down the timeline it would feel like too much progress too quickly for Humanity to suddenly go from needing to scrounge around in Protoculture ruins and old Vajra nests for leftover fold quartz to being able to manufacture the stuff on their own without limit the way they do fold carbon in a measly few decades when it took the Protoculture a century or two. Not to mention what a massive, massive game-changer it would be for every aspect of technology.

    Let’s wait and see more details of the POSE+ in the coming Comic Cons this month.
  27. pengbuzz
    Another possibility: they make a breakthrough on fold quartz production in some manner. That, or they produce fold half-gallons.
  28. jvmacross
    Of course, Superman doesn’t need one at this point....I was referring to characters like Mr. Terrific....in Creature Commandos they at least gave enough of a background for the characters to be able to just go with it...it also helped they had more time to do so since it was a series....in either case, it wasn't the biggest problem with this movie....the biggest problem was that it was just "ok" for being the more general audience reboot for the DCU...
