  1. Epic doesn't quite cover it!!!!
  2. @sqidd I just have to get my vote in for the Transform Element Prime if you can find him around $115. He blew me away with the engineering for the transformation process and how "toon accurate" he looks while still having good articulation. Not every one's cup of tea, and a lot of people do like the Magic Square more, but for me, its TE-01 for my one and only Prime. Well..I do have original MP-10 which nowadays is kinda whatever, BUT you can slap the MP-10 trailer right onto TE-01. Good luck with whichever you go with, they are both great Primes! Merry Christmas! EDIT - I did buy in on the 2nd round which came with the optional head which looks WAY better. I also added the cell shaded window decals from a guy on the TF2005 forums.
  3. wow! great job! Welcome to MW!
  4. Robotech merchandise got expensive quick!!!
  5. I will say that I LOVE the Bandai tampo overload on the DX VF-1 and the SSP's. I didn't get an SSP set yet, but as one of the guys who spent countless hours trimming and putting on teeny weeny little "NO STEP" stickers on all my Yamatoes...NOPE..don't miss that one bit! That being said, they are all still on and flat last time I took a few out to rearrange the display cabinet. I wasn't a fan of the tampo Bandai did for the YF-19 though. Too much oddball stuff that wasn't there in the anime for me. Same with their upcoming 21, but I still want one regardless.
  6. No argument on that point. The Bandai DX is very reasonably priced at MSRP. I was actually surprised by how cheap it was when it's price was first known. NOT that anyone usually gets them at that price in the 2.4 seconds they are available. . I never remember stressing out in the Yamato days , oh wait, that's because I didn't.. But Yamato's long term financial plan was not very good apparently, so here we are!
  7. Why do you say that? You should be able to watch it anywhere you have a decent internet connection and a subscription to CBS All Access. Yes, we ALL can agree that we would prefer it were on Netflix or Amazon, but sadly, that's how things are going now. Before it's all said and done we'll be paying for every show we want to watch.
  8. I really wanted to LOVE Neca Alien stuff, bought the Queen and 2 others and while the Queen was and still is great, the other two had frozen joints that snapped out of the box. After that I was done with them! Which is a shame, because they do look great.
  9. I'm just gonna say this...Compare the old Yamato 1:48 AT IT'S TIME OF RELEASE to a similar time frame Bandai release.....nuff said. Yamato was waaaay ahead of the game on the 1:48 and 1:60ver 2's. For the DX line, Bandai took an already great idea and updated it slightly with new materials and engineering methods in some areas, then in other areas it takes a step back IMHO.
  10. Soooo...running film backwards is supposed be mindbending??? He's a dead time traveling secret agent??? He has future Neo Vision??? I'm so confused....
  11. I AM SO ALL ABOUT THIS!!!!
  12. That looks terrible IMHO . I own the original Wey Jung? release which is basically an oversized MP-10 and that's the best $99 (with shipping!) I've maybe ever spent. It's great!
  13. that's exactly what I was thinking! He must REALLY trust his clear coats!
  14. Nice! Good to know! Glad they are on top of it and got you taken care of!
  15. that's exactly what I thought as well.
  16. I'll buy a ticket for this. In a Dolby Theater it will be bombastic
  17. Should have given him a new mask for this one. That would have been better IMHO. Luke got a new saber for ROTJ, he didn't red crazy glue his broken one from ESB! Come on KYLO!
  18. This is only my 2nd attempt at lighting.....and the 1st was very rudimentary. So here we go... Phase 1 complete.
  19. Your painting is just a thing of beauty. Always looks like a manufactured product.

    Bye Yamcadia?

    BIG +1 to what Mommar said. The DX's are just TO DAMN HARD TO GET. Are they lovely? Sure. (Minus the hideous come apart bar if you look at wrong in the middle) But there is absolutely NO WAY you can count on Bandai to ever do an as complete line as Yamato did with the 1:60 V2. Just look at the HM-R line. It's dwindling for sure. Reason? Don't know. Won't ever know. I have the 1J DX and I might try to get the Focker eventually, but like Mommar and a lot of us other old timers, we simply don't have the room/money or time to waste / get angry trying to get every DX that hits the market when we have cabinets full of V2's. Just my .02.
