    I'd be ok if Fexthobby released an add-on kit....and for the 1/60 too

    As far as DYRL toys.....if you hold up Yamato as the supreme example of what a "complete" line of VFs should be....then Bandai's HMR is just 3 short (Max and Kakizaki VF-1A's and Max's VF-1S)....one short (Max VF-1S) if you include the Skull Squadron from the previous HM line.....if you include the Destroids....it has already surpassed Yamato's lineup...bonus points also for releasing the DYRL GBP-1J......I won't even get to the possible DYRL N-Ger's, Q-Rau's and green Regults!

    Customers outside of Japan do not technically "exist" to Bandai, especially when it comes to customer support....my error was not staying with HLJ for this particular purchase...I'll never cheat again!!!

    Not only do I no longer have a MISB HMR VF-1A......but to add insult to injury.... I also got Bandai'd!!! Desperately seeking the collector with two right calf armor pieces for a trade....PM me please...

    Maybe Episode 9 can start with Finn waking up from his coma and describing Episode 8 as his nightmare....

    Nepotism?

    Well.....you'd have a lot more of your brothers and sisters watching your back when they come looking....I think that would be a better way to avoid capture rather than going it on your own.....besides....you suggested that the whereabouts of Death Stars were well kept secrets....no reason to think that had changed under the First Order.....all hiding in Starkiller base until they no longer needed to....

    Perhaps you have not seen the movies more than once (don't blame you!)....but the higher ranking officiers seem to be much older than the troopers....like the commander that complained to his men about not sending out the tie-fighters while Hux was being trolled by Poe.... yeah, pretty sure it was Snoke's brainwashing...at least at first.....same way the Emperor stroked Anakin's ego since he was a kid it would seem.... Like I said, both sides have their own point of view...nothing shocking about it really I suppose....the New Republic/Resistance could easily utter the same words in describing the First Order..... hmmmmm......where else in the galaxy would you be able to hide effectively as a war criminal or sympathizer? Especially if we have been made to believe that "Bounty Hunter" is a thriving workforce category in the world of Star Wars.... Exactly......and this is where all that "talk" when the movie was released about "throwing out/killing" everything you knew about Star Wars is all a bunch of nonsense......rabid fans got all worked-up for nothing........Star Wars will always be just a rehash of the same storylines we have already seen......the only difference now will be the need to reboot it at a much quicker pace to keep the new generation of fans "locked in".....and the parks "filled up"....

    Dunno....are you not including the officer class and just referring to the grunts? Also....30 years is a long time for a new narrative to have not been disseminated by the New Republic about what the Empire was and who was in control of it.....the First Order, for sure has their own version of the "facts" of the last 30 years......Kylo refers to the Resistance...and by association, the New Republic,....as murderers, traitors and theives.....this is what he has been brainwashed to believe since he's actually born of them....I don't think it's that much of a stretch to see how many former Imperial families and friends would not legitimately have a deep hatred for the New Republic/Resistance and thus make up the core of the First Order leadership/elites..... The fact is that the First Order is apparently now lead by someone who really isn't one of them....and at that scene where he kills Snoke he also no longer really seems to be tied to the same goals of the First Order, which seems to just be guided by pure vengeance.....his goal seems to be just to start fresh....not even sure if he even wants to "finish" what he thinks his grandpa started....I'm sure Episode 9 will fix everything!!!

    I would think the First Order would be comprised of friends, family and all the children of the parents murdered by the Rebels during the assaults on the Death Stars I and II.

    Ok...so basically it sounds like it is just missing the box and packaging.... They are averaging about 400 USD on YJA.... No box usually means about 30% off of the MIB price.... With that said....it is a relatively harder to acquire Yamato 1/60....so it may be worth more to someone not looking to resell it in the near future.... I would say it would sell for 300 USD to a collector who tosses the box...not a collector who wants to pay less because it is missing the box....hope this helps....good luck!
  12. jvmacross
    Loose w/everything it originally came with except the box and packaging or loose as in just the VF?
  13. jvmacross
    He did the character designs for the Macross 7 shows..... Best book to get if you want to see all his character designs for M7....plus you will get Kawamori VF designs.....and Miyatake's ship and hardware designs..... https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1025069265&ref=list

    Kylo Ren makes the best reviews..... Forgot all about that music scene....that was awful, awkward, and disturbing all at once....thanks for the reminder Kylo!
  15. jvmacross
    I either go with Amazon.jp or HLJ.....but yeah....strange it isn't listed on the other usual sites yet...

    No way.....and risk them not opening up a McDonald's in Pyongyang!!

    So after 30+ years are we back at the Russians being the bad guys in these type of movies? Hollywood wouldn't dare portray the Chine$e as the evil adversary these days.

    Let the wild fan theories begin!
  20. jvmacross
    If Jar-Jar had as much screen time and a similar ending in TPM as L337 had in Solo....maybe fans would have been more forgiving after all these years ...oh wait, but what to do about little Annie?....
  21. jvmacross
    1) ESB 2) SW 3) ROTJ 4) ROTS 4) CW 4) R 5) RO 6) AOTC 7 ) S 8 ) TPM 9) TFA 10) TLJ Solo will likely go up or down once I have the ability for multiple rewatches...as of now I feel it was overall better than both sequels....but that's probably due to the film's lack of crapping on the heroes of the franchise.....although there was some weirdness and liberties taken with Lando's character, I really liked Lando in this movie.....

    @hachi...not sure....perhaps they have not posted it yet....I have seen it at other Japanese shops...but not the usual ones.... https://www.play-asia.com/mikimoto-haruhiko-character-works/13/70c2mp?li_medium=default-widget&li_source=LI&ref=liftigniter

    Speaking of Mikimoto collected artwork books.....seems this one has never been posted on this thread.....off the top of my head there has to be at least 4-5 Mikimoto collected illustrations books....probably more if you also count the ones with no Macross artwork...... Haruhiko Mikimoto: Innocence ...and some sample illustrations while we all wait for the new Mikimoto collection book to be released.... ...the book also has illustrations from Gundam, Gunbuster, and Orguss.....as well as, several other Mikimoto illustrations of young muses...
  24. jvmacross
    Probably all could happen.....and the moment they did the internet would blow up with Church of the Force dorks complaining that that would never happen in "my Star Wars".....as if the franchise belongs to anyone except the media empire that paid 4 billion for it.....for the rest of us...we can either take it or leave it.....
