    I guess WDW's Droid Depot is now canon...perhaps in the SW universe they are as ubiquitous as Autozone....lol

    They do extend in/out, so I'll have to check....otherwise, I think, unless there is also glue in play...that removing the leg screw hole covers and then removing the screws will allow for easy access to the feet/thrusters....I actually have a busted leg off of a VF-1J that was replaced by KC...maybe I can experiment with that one first...

    But then how would she be able to be redeemed by the last episode?

    I always enjoy the nods to the 80's movies they toss into Stranger Things....so far some Nightmare on Elm Street vibes and even some E.T.! I'm probably missing others...

    It is to fragile to be a toy....

    Agreed, but the only thing that matters is that he already knows that Anakin is Darth Vader....this is why the scene in OWK that eludes to Obi Wan being in shock of the news that Anakin is still alive seems far fetched....basically in the 10 years since he last interacted with Anakin, he has heard nothing about Darth Vader causing havoc across the galaxy?....Bail, the only guy that knows his whereabouts didn't bother to tell Obi Wan that Anakin/Vader survived his encounter on Mustafar? There has been no encounters with Vader documented by Rebel intelligence? The entire Senate doesn't know of the Emperor's right hand man? Just wondering if things will get retconned or if this will just be ignored?

    Obi Wan knows Anakin is Darth Vader, he and Yoda were reviewing the attack footage during a scene in ROTS...

    I guess I will have to buy into an Obi Wan that in the 10 years since he found out his "brother" turned into Darth Vader that he has not heard of his existence or evil deeds across the galaxy at the service of the Emperor.... Still, I suppose the show still has 4 episodes to go.........perhaps Bail thought it was best to keep that info from Obi Wan? Which leads me to some thoughts about Andor.......Vader's got to be in it right? Perhaps even the Emperor?

    I did not open my VF-1S Rick Hunter, but I did check through the box window that at least the feet were both correctly installed...lol With that said, I will have to inspect it now for any other potential issues....
  11. jvmacross
    Yep..well, I think what they did is assembled the foot/thruster on the right leg backwards! KC apologized and said they felt it was just mine that got mis-assembled.....two replacement legs will be sent to me... As far as the "confused color" placement...I had let KC know about it a while back when they released the Max and Ben VF-1A's, which they also "confused" the colors on....oh well, not that big of a deal....I'll just have to live with it If anyone gets their VF-1A Standard, hope yours is put together correctly!
  12. jvmacross
    So my KC 1/72 VF-1J "Standard" and VF-1S "Rick Hunter" came in.... I only opened up the VF-1J Standard...the VF-1S "Rick" is more or less going to be the same as the recently released VF-1S Roy.... The colors on the VF-1J Standard are the same as those used for the VF-1A Standard....here you can see the difference between the shade of light brown used between the VF-1J Standard and the VF-1A "Ben Dixon".... OK....so now I ask you eagle-eyed MWers....who can spot the problem with my VF-1J Standard? Hint: KC kind of Aracdia'd me! I have reached out to KC about it....maybe it is just a problem with mine, but if not, this will really put their customer service to the test....

    Can't "unsee" the wings now....

    It's great how WWM has made PO'ing some of our Macross stuff stress-free....starting to get used to this!
  16. jvmacross
    Anyone still looking to source one from Japan better take note of the start time for AmiAmi's VF-0S PO..... https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-140326 1pm JST....NOT the usual 4pm JST
  17. jvmacross
    Just an FYI to all.... PO info for the latest announced releases of interest will usually get posted at the top of the page as soon as info becomes available and confirmed...
  18. jvmacross
    Thanks for the link....figured why not? But AE was limiting the PO to just one and I wanted at least 3....guess I will still be able to partially go with my original plan of getting this release stateside....

    I bought the Macross Frontier The Movie 30th d Shooting Star b Bluray Boxset years ago for the illustration books it contained....but I have never actually watched the movies, guess maybe I should....I like the tv series enough, but not enough to go and pay for subtiled movie versions on the big screen....I made an exception for Macross Plus a few months ago to support the "cause" (a total of 3 people at my showing), but will definitely pass on these releases....time to dust off the MacF Movie boxset!

    The "re-designs" for the DYRL mech lineart a few years after the original SDFM TV lineart....but perhaps somewhere in the multiverse your suggestion exists and there is someone complaining how the TV versions should have been used first.... Luckily, I prefer the original TV designs over the DYRL re-designs anyways...

    Hi-Metal R

    jvmacross replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Bandai probably had some idea of their Macross collectibles' global demand and their production runs, pre-BW/HG deal, likely reflected that...basically, they had to know that their production runs weren't all going to local Japanese Macross fans...after the WWM releases, actual demand should start getting clearer for Bandai....my only concern is that they will find out that the actual demand is no different than their estimated demand...to be honest, after 40 years of selling Macross out the back door, Bandai probably already knows what that actual demand is...the plan now is probably just to try and expand it....

    Just adding here... https://www.siliconera.com/yoshitaka-amano-draws-batman-for-detective-comics-cover/

    It wouldn't bother me if it did, but I prefer non-rainbow canopies on VF's... The VF-0S in the video posted earlier seems to not have any rainbow glare, but I'm sure it is not a final production sample...guess we'll find out eventually
  24. jvmacross
    Outside of Japan, WWM POs have so far been drama free....looking forward to sleeping right through the HMR VF-0S's Japanese PO window... Guessing the preferred US retailers will have this by Friday or early next week....at this point I'm not worried about missing out on getting one from somewhere...this has been the best thing about the BW-HG deal....Sadly, I know eventually I will have to step back into the madness when the next SDFM/DYRL item is announced....

    Bagged menko cards...they almost seem bootleg, if you could believe someone would actually bootleg menko cards...
