    Was nin nin one of the webshops that cancelled a bunch of vf-31A for thise that ordered them at the original price only to relist them at twice the price during the vf-31a fiasco?

    If they wanna cancel my order that's fine with me, as long as I get my money back.  I will get it back, right?  Lol.  Based on what everyone's saying here, sounds like they probably will cancel and resell...

    ^ This. Hopefully I won't have to, but if I must, then I must...I'm just glad that it's the only one I care about, I don't even want to think about getting the others...yikes. 

    For me it was always and only about roy.  I never understood the fascination with Hikaru or the 1J.  I dont care for max, his alien girlfriend, their kids, the fat guy in the green trim Valkyrie, the valks with boobs; none of it.  The buck starts and stops with Roy for me.

    It’s the only VF-1 I want which I’m happy about. Still the idea of getting up to $400+ is stomach churning 

    Yeah I know, but I gave up toy collecting and started messing with cars.  Trust me, $500 is NOTHING lol...

    Still available for $302 at nin-nin

     Thanks for the heads up, I got one in.  WTF did I just do?  Lol.  The excitement reminds me of the debut of the '48 Yamato valkyrie oh so long ago...

    Not exactly meaningless if it hits like mid to high 300s

    I would gladly pay 400 to 500 for a fokker 1S; it's the only variable fighter I care about.  Like I said, the price is meaningless if you have the desire and the means.   Dont get me wrong-I wouldn't spend like that for any other toy...

    What.

    That has to be the dumbest piece of anti-science to ever show up in Star Trek, and that says a LOT.

    The Star Trek team figures if Disney can  come up with asinine stuff for Episode 9, then why not the same for Picard.

    Anyway, production values aside, I'm willing to give this show a chance.  I for one, am glad to see at least a residue of the Star Trek that I grew up with (TNG), back in some form.  I really don't know what some of the heavy handed critics are expecting from this show.  I mean, the entire premise of Star Trek and the universe they've built up over the years has plenty of laughable, cringe-worthy elements to it; this is no different.  The focus here is on Jean Luc PIcard-a legendary character, and I want to see why he is where he is, political sentiments from Patrick Stewart about the state of current global affairs notwithstanding.

    But....next week there better be some ship porn.  I'm also in this for the ship porn.  A little skin from the robot girl wouldn't hurt, either...

    I suddenly realized I only come into this thread for the same reasons I visit the Robotech and Remix Titan Comics thread......sad, lol!

    Train wrecks are certainly entertaining.  I like doing a similar thing on gun and car message boards.  The online carnage provides HOURS of entertainment...

  7. Just saw it myself and surprisingly I didn't vomit all over the floor and was actually moderately entertained.  Sure, this movie follows the droning hollywood trends of copying previous movie's plots and character gender swapping for a new, clueless audience, but Dark Fate wasn't a complete waste of time.   I suppose the highly derivative and ridiculous Star Wars Sequel movies have something to do with reducing my standards as a human being, but ah well.  It's not worth being upset about anymore...

  8. Hey folks, looking for 1/48 VF-1 missile clusters.  Two of them fell off of my 1/48 Low Viz and now I need to replace them.  I know that standard  1/48 missile clusters are the wrong color for the Low Viz, but some missiles are better than none.  Thanks in advance!

    I'm seeing about the same for this as I did with TFA. Lowered expectations and JJ's style of moving at breakneck speed to keep the audience from asking questions changes one's perspective.

    Don't know if it's been posted already, but this video attests to JJ's style of moving at breakneck speeds and just seemingly, or purposefully, just letting stuff happen.  Are we still doing spoiler alerts?

     Curious, where is it made?  My Robotech In bit toys were actually made in Japan,  lol!

    Dude.  I thought my shock trooper would have the same markings as yours but mine says HG/Tatsunoko/exosquad/playmates 1994 on it.

    As for toy collecting and the money spent on it, c'mon you guys.  ALL hobbies are pretty much a waste of time and money that could be directed into something more sensible, so arguing about what is worth what to whom is pointless-just have fun with it...

    I have one of those non transforming VF-1 fighters in a different paint scheme.  I think its more HIkaru DYRL paint scheme if I remember correctly..  and it came from a toyline called ExoSquad or something along those lines.       I remember looking at it like WTF?      

    That's the same toy that I posted about on the previous page but repackaged as an Exosquad toy.  Minor changes to coloring and stickering, but basically the same toy.  I wish I had picked up the Glaug and the hovertank when they were reissued as well...
