    It would be great if Arcadia did a reissue. PF or non-PF. I need a second 0S.

    How about a Captain Morgan who's in charge of guarding Alaska Base's rum reserves. Or Captain Obvious

    Doesn't seem to me like there's some sort of censor bot. The common attribute I saw among the files that errored out in your video were that they were of a rather large size (5.3, 16.4, 3.7MB). The ones that succeeded were 1.8 MB or smaller. Try resizing your files and then upload again. There is likely a file size limit. Edit: I just got some time to test it myself. I uploaded a large file and got the -200 error as well. So you just need to shrink down the image size. I believe the limit is because storage and bandwidth can become expensive and Shawn is paying for this site out of his own pocket so it's reasonable to put a limit on things. If you want to link images without the limits or compression artifacts ruining your image quality, you can do what many members do like uploading to Flickr or Imgur and then linking the image here. This saves storage space and bandwidth for the site and you get to have larger, higher quality images, so it's a win-win.

    And he has a custom valkyrie that he calls the Kuro Paru, but everyone keeps stealing it from him.

    Don't give Bandai any ideas!
  6. MacrossJunkie
    I think Bandai must have based the DX VF-1 gunpod size off that since it's huge too. Also, there's something seriously wrong going on with the knees there.
  7. MacrossJunkie
    Oh right, it did appear in Frontier and Delta. Only as a model on top of the school in Frontier though I think. It did transform in Delta.

    People have been ordering it through proxy services. See below:

    Actually, the VF-0 still does utilize some anime magic. Like where did those side parts come from? Same as the VF-1. Technically, they did CGI the VF-1 in the Macross pachinko where they remade the intro and did some fight scenes. Also the Sega Saturn DYRL intro, but you never see them transform in that. But yeah, overall, the Zero just fits together better overall having the benefit of hindsight and CAD.

    Or the PF 0D they showed to the actual. Or the non-PF VF-0S, they showed a bunch of markings including the modex printed on the nose and wing and U.N Spacy on the legs and the toy had none of that. To be fair, stuff like the skull emblem on the heat shield and tail fins are obviously stickers, but they did tampo print those on the actual toy at least. Heck, the non-PF VF-4A might have none of the markings they showed either for all we know. Their pictures can be extremely misleading.

    I didn't even know Mirage got her own Draken. I had to look it up. That paint scheme isn't bad at all. I'd like to see the movie but I'm not willing to pay $90 for a blu-ray. Japanese shows and movies are stupidly expensive.
  12. MacrossJunkie
    But it looks like it's pretty much up to the edge there as well. On the toy, it's set a lot further back. Okay, they must have that marking in various positions on the same toy or they are taking pictures of different toy. This is pretty far: But this is like the animation or pretty close enough that I find it acceptable:
  13. MacrossJunkie
    Was it just because it was a "bad guy" VF or because the transformation was overly complicated?
  14. MacrossJunkie
    Oh yeah, they are set pretty far back from the edge of the intakes, aren't they? I wonder why. It's not a technical limitation. They were able to print them right to the edge on the VF-0's.
  15. MacrossJunkie
    That can be a tough call, but in the end, only you can say which choice is worth it for you. Personally, it was an easy choice for me. I'd rather save some money and decal up the 4A myself, which would be mostly the No Step's, BoB's, and some other standard small print stuff since all the major markings appear to already be included on the regular version. I can probably do a better job doing the panel lining than some random factory worker also. I wasn't satisfied with either the panel lining or the weathering on the PF 0D and wished it just came with all the tampo printing instead.
  16. MacrossJunkie
    I take it the 262Hs didn't sell too well? I was really hoping for a 262Ba also. I think the Draken III is such a great looking design and the paint scheme is gorgeous.
  17. MacrossJunkie
    Right. My PF 0D had no problems. My original release 0D was a floppy mess.
  18. MacrossJunkie
    The 0S seems pretty good over all. I haven't really found complaints on it. The A and D seem to have some leg falling off issues on some. My D just had super loose legs that I had to disassemble in order to tighten, but no cracks found. The 0A on the other hand had a split in one of the shoulder hinges.

    Even for past Yamato releases where they didn't but in the numbers or insignias, they at least left the space blank. Putting the black stripe straight through and then giving a white backed sticker for the modex that didn't even color match was a lazy half assed attempt. I doubt it would have been hard to have just left an empty space instead. Here's mine after removing a part of the stripe and putting the modex on. I'm not happy with the stickers so I'm going to take these off and put decals on when I get them, which sounds to me will be mid October or something Hmm, after seeing this so magnified, it seems I need to clean up the black stripe a bit more.
  20. MacrossJunkie
    @Lolicon Looks great! The stickers and decals added really help and the weathering touches on it look nice.
  21. MacrossJunkie
    I really hope they revisit the YF-21. They redid the YF-19 already but nothing in regards to the 21. I'm not really liking Bandai's rendition so far based on what they've shown, unless they drastically change it. All the extra markings on it also just looked ugly.
  22. MacrossJunkie
    Speaking of panel lining, I wonder if Arcadia has improved the panel lines on the toy. I kind of feel like they would have had to. The original VF-4G release had so many shallow panel lines that you couldn't really panel line it normally. It was hard to even see some. If they expect factory workers to do the panel liningproperly, I'd think they would need to make the panel lines deeper.
  23. MacrossJunkie
    Is that VF-9 kit in 1/60 scale? I kind of want one of each VF also, including a VF-5000, VA-3, and VF-14.
  24. MacrossJunkie
    Ended up getting it from Amazon JP. The price on the site says ¥31,177, but when you actually add to cart, it says, ¥28,343. I wonder if my Amazon Prime credit card still gets 5% points from Amazon JP orders as I would with orders from Amazon.com. That would be a nice side benefit if so.
  25. MacrossJunkie
    Wow, that's like a $38 price difference currently between AE and HLJ. However, AE says that all shipments to the US are temporarily suspended and that they'll hold all shipments until the suspension has ended. Which could be a long time... From their words, it doesn't sound like they are offering any alternative methods of shipping. So yeah... definitely sounds like a bad idea to go AE despite the lower cost unless one doesn't mind waiting an indefinite amount of time to get what they paid for.
