Macross 40th Anniversary Thread. What are you expecting?
jvmacross replied to Gerli's topic in Movies and TV Series
Nope. October 3, 1982 was the premier of the first episode from SDFM. The film adaptation premiered in Japan on July 7, 1984. So the 40th Anniversary for DYRL? will be in 2024. -
Not sure about the decals, I believe there are but maybe someone else can recall the site for them...as for the shields...I think there is someone on eBay selling them...maybe someone here has purchased them and can speak of their quality

Glad to hear things worked out in your favor... Now go get that GBP! Prices seems close to MSRP at the moment so no rush...but you never know

Macross 40th Anniversary Thread. What are you expecting?
jvmacross replied to Gerli's topic in Movies and TV Series
SInce it will be the anniversary of the TV SERIES....I would hope for a 1/3000 scale TV SDF-1......don't care from who as long as it looks good and is of decent quality.... -
Cool! So Paypal resolved the case in your favor and sent your full refund? Now we just need to wait for some unknown threshold to be met in terms of complaints (i.e. customers getting completely screwed over) several years from now for Paypal to actually wag their disapproving finger at NN....I guess it's the price that must get paid in order to receive Paypal's buyer protections...so use those protections wisely so you are not on the "completely screwed over" side of the Paypal game! One more thing....I hope you add NN here so others are aware of their BS.... https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/172-mw-blacklist/page/49/?tab=comments#comment-1589126

That is a cool story! I assume it was the DYRL Hikaru VF-1A? One of the hardest things to find on the web are pics of Macross toys displayed on Japanese toy store shelves from the SDFM/DYRL era. The only pics I have been able to find are from trade shows. It's funny how you can find tons of vintage pics of US toy store aisles filled with Star Wars merch from the 70's....but no one in Japan thought of taking similar pics of Macross toys during it's early 80's run? I hope I am just not searching correctly...LOL. Again, great story on your intro to Macross collecting!

Sketchley's comment was backing up the idea that the VF-X3 was not cobbled from Destroid parts....his quoted source makes no mention of Destroid parts.....you are trying to shoe-horn in the idea of "kitbashing" to align with your initial comments....my comment was just based on it just not visually appearing to have anything destroid related about it and that it was a "stretch" to see it as such....he agreed and posted the Kawamori comments The quote coming straight from Kawamori apparently says nothing about Destroid parts, thus supporting the idea that no Destroids parts or "kitbashing" was used in the design or creation of the VF-X3 in-setting or otherwise .....so I guess you are referencing obsolete information, perhaps creative liberties were taken by the makers of the game at the time it was released...even so, you would think a VF using "Destroid" parts would have some Destroid-like aesthetic, otherwise, why even bother mentioning it....again, looks more GBP Armor, than Destroid
-
Tell that to sketchley..seems he is saying Kawamori himself, per the Kawamori Designers Note, indicated that..the VF-X3 was "...designed...to make a more space fighter-like VF based on the VF-1 Valkyrie..." nothing about destroid mentioned at all....I'd sooner brush aside any comments on some videogame booklet over what Kawamori is saying on a book with his name on it.... In either case, take it up with @sketchley...as he is contradicting your comments, not me....my comments were purely based on the visuals, it clearly looks to have no "destroid" parts on it...unlike the kitbash from the R-Area doujin and the VF's from Macross the First previously posted
-
Yeah it looks good....

Sound advice....hope things work out to your satisfaction...

For Tamashii Nations? The site posts links to all of their social media.... https://www.tamashiinations.com/
-
....so it really was a win-win choice.....you get your refund (not credit) and if you get banned, you weren't planning on doing future business with them anyway......smart move...
-
Kind of a stretch to say the VF-X3 looks cobbled from Destroid parts....looks more GBP influenced...and eventually looks to have inspired the VF-11 GBP by the looks of it... ...the VFs portrayed in MtF as posted by @no3Ljm definitely are using Destroid weapons as explained in the manga

Yeah, there were a bunch of "customs" back in the day in several magazines/books....however, to me, it reminded me of that Macross the First issue where they actually slap on Destroid parts onto Super Valkyries....forgot which issue, I'll try and find it.... Sure....I will post more when I get a chance...
-
Don't care enough about either the new one or originals to comment any further....will watch it as soon as it becomes available for free on a streaming service I already have or get a redbox coupon to watch it for free...lol
-
Nice! TBH....I have never watched the Resident Evil movies....but this one really seems to have captured the feel of the first game....looks good so far
-
Is this a reboot of the movie franchise? Looks like they are going more for the look of the game, which is pretty cool....and they even included the infamous first zombie encounter scene straight out of the first Resident Evil video game! I remember playing the original Resident Evil PS game when it first came out and being creeped out at that first cut scene with the zombie eating the dead body and slowly turning around to look at you.....classic! Funny how it seemed a lot more creepier back then....lol

Maybe try the KC thread?

Just open the common MISB ones and not the case of MISBIMSMSB...
