    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Graham replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Given that I missed out on the original Bandai DX YF-19 release (although I have the VF-19 Advance), I'm looking forward to this new reissue of the YF-19, even if it is missing most of the accessory parts. But I really hope that Bandai have tightened up the wing joints, or got rid of the high-speed mode. As I hated the loose wings caused by the high-speed mode mid-wing hinge joint.

    After 6 years away from Macross (for various reasons), I'm just stating to get back in and collect some of the toys I missed during my hiatus. I picked up the VF-31AX Kairos Plus last week and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't transformed it yet, it's staying in Fighter mode so far, but looks great in my opinion. My only complaint so far is the gap behind the cockpit, which can be massaged away to a certain extent, but tends to open up again once you actually pick up and handle the toy. I love that it is a more heavily armed, combat-oriented version of the VF-31 with micro-missiles instead of drones in the leg bays and larger arm-mounted rail guns and a beam gun mission pack instead of the drone charger.

    I wish Big West would offer the option to purchase high-resolution digital downloads with English subtitles of all the various Macross animes, internationally To be honest, given the limited storage space I have and also the fact that from my experience in the country I live, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs tend to either scratch and become unreadable or deteriorate due to the heat and humidity here within a decade of purchasing and become unreadable. These days I far prefer buying digital downloads, rather than expensive and relatively fragile physical discs, with their limited lifespan.

    Hopefully, we'll get a release date soon and information on whether this will be released internationally, outside of Japan.

    Hopefully, there will be a digital download version to buy, available outside of the US. I haven't bought a Blu-ray in years and really don't want to buy physical media anymore. Annoys the f*ck out of me that Amazon US/UK will sell and ship me any Blu-ray/DVD/CD disk I want, but try to get the same movie/TV series/album as a digital download and it's "Oh no we don't sell to your country".

    Extremely disappointed these are not 6" Black Series figures. My son and I gave up collecting 3.75" figures about 7 years ago. Now we only collect Black Series 6" Clone Troopers, Stormtroopers and Mandalorian figures.

    A read that a lot of the time this is actually the case and Pedro Pascal is not actually in the suit that much and mostly just does the voice work. Dunno how true that is though.

    May have to buy that I do like the Destiny design.

    What's that Stormbringer from? I'm presuming a manga or game.

    I thought there was already a Metal Robot Spirits Freedom?????? Or maybe that was a Strike Freedom.....not really a fan of the design so never paid much attention, but pretty sure saw a Metal Robot Spirits toy shelf warming in a nearby toy shop.

    Any link about new Robot Spirits Crossbones? I haven't seen any announcement online.

    Definitely not based on an M41A Pulse Rifle.
  15. Graham
    That looks nothing like an M41A Pulse Rifle

    Was hoping for news on a Crossbone Gundam X3 or X1 Full Cloth Metal Build

    I personally hate waterslide decals, I find them a real PITA to use. I'm a quick builder............snap together and panel line only. So I prefer either dry rub transfers or stickers (which are getting much better in recent years).

    What's with the old man untrimmed eyebrows? I gave up on season 2 of IBO after struggling through season 1.

    That Unicorn MGEX is an easy pass for me for the following three reasons: 1) ¥23,000 is a bit more than I'm willing to pay for a 1/100 scale Gunpla. For that money I'd rather just pay a bit more and get a Metal Build Figure. 2) I'm not really into light-up gimmicks. 3) Although I like the Gundam Unicorn anime, I've never been a fan of the RX-0 Gundam Unicorn design. I don't own a single model or toy of the Unicorn. The Jesta and Jesta Cannon are my favorite mobile suit designs from the Unicorn anime.

    Year, not a fan of an of the Gundam Astray designs.

    Hmm......goes off to Google R4 Exia
  22. Graham
    Sorry, WTF is that????? Michael Bayesque mes of parts?
  23. Graham
    So after finally watching Gundam 00 TV series season 1 this month and currently half way through season 2, I'm in love with the Exia design. I've already bought Metal Build Exia and Metal Build Exia Repair 1. My Metal build Exia is currently configured as Exia Repair 3. Currently trying to decide whether to buy one more Metal Build Exia to have it displayed as original Exia or buy a Metal build 00 Qan (T)? I only can afford one, not both. Thoughts? I've no emotional attachment to 00 Qan (T) yet, as I have not seen the movie yet. Is it a good figure?

    Did this appear in a side story manga or what?

    Question for the hive mind. Although I've built a great many Gunpla over the years they have for the most part been MG, RG and a very small smattering of HG, as well as some older non-grade kits back in the early 90s. However, I have never built a Perfect Grade kit. Now I'm thinking about it. While I'm mostly a UC timeline fan there are unfortunately no UC-era PG kits that I really like (I'd love a PG V Gundam, V2 Gundam, RX-79G Ground Type, RX-93, XM1 Crossbone, but alas they don't exist). Existing PG UC-era kits such as the RX-79, MKII, Unicorn, GP-01/GP-01FB, Zeta are just not Mobile Suits designs that I'm attracted to. So the only PG Mobile Suits that I like enough to buy are non-UC era designs, with my favorites being the Exia or the Strike Gundam. So for those that have built the Exia or Strike PG kits, which is the better choice in terms of fun factor, frustration factor, details, gimmicks, long term durability, poseability, long term tightness of joints etc?
