And now we also know what the movie canon color is for the fast packs! Which is neither of the color of the T-REX parts. Assuming this will MSRP at 200 bucks...that means it will be 1/3 the cost of the going rate for a set of T-REX parts.... This is the biggest surprise announcement since....the Makuros! At this point, anything short of a 1/3000 TV SDF-1 announcement from Arcadia will be disappointing....

Good point....we will finally have a somewhat similar valk to compare Bandai's 1/60 v. Arcadia's 1/60.... As for the winner......Bandai is too big too lose.....Arcadia is about to get spanked.... Looking forward to what the fighter mode will look like....right now the battroid mode looks too "VF-25-ish"...too skinny and tall....

Per Rick's assessment...They hadn't f'd with the wrong people....

Don't get any ideas evilcat!

Did you take a look at page three of this thread? Think there is a pic of the various weapons that the VF-22 can carry.

Anyone have any insight on what the Japanese Macross fans are saying about this release? http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d158117820 Did anyone get any feedback or comments about it from Tenjin at the MW Con?

Dang...I haven't had a chance to see Guardians of the Galaxy 1....

Slap a Volks label on it and people will pay hundreds for it!

maybe they will make it swappable in the production version?

OK...caught up.... Good episode...predictable ending to "hunters", but good.... And finally....Little Ass kicker cries at the most inopportune time....like a real baby would!!! (thanks for a little dose of "reality").......Of course, she only did it because she knew her daddy had her back...it was all part of the plan to take down those mean old cannibals!!!! Seems they tied up all lose ends from last season...except for Beth....but we know that's next....so c'mon everyone, sit by the fire and let's roast some s'mores while Darryl tells us all about the adventure he just had without us!!! As for the split.....kinda makes it clearer who will live and who will die by season's end.....sticking to my list but adding Gabriel (he will redeem himself via a clichéd self-sacrifice scene)...there is only room for one righteous dude (makes it easier too when the righteous ones really aren't)...and that's Tyreese.....the split allows for time to "get to know" Rosita and Eugene better...and some more on Tara.....the writers need to invest us in the characters a little to make their demise a little upsetting.....in that group, I still think Abraham, Glenn and Maggie are safe As for Rick's group...Sasha is a Goner.....an interesting twist would be if she were somehow related to Morgan.....in that case she may last a bit longer....but not too long...she is the catalyst that will release the beast within Tyreese...... Going to guess Daryl had Beth with him.....as I don't think Carol would be hiding meekly behind him....with that said....unless Carol parted ways after freeing Beth....whoever has Carol is really bad or a group of very bad folks.....I'm guessing either Sasha or Gabriel won't make it out of this part of the story..... Lastly...Michonne is back!!!!

If you paid the asking price....feel free to ask me to sell you mine!

Yeah...but what good is it without a micloning chamber!

At the time you saw the Spartan, did you see any others? Do you remember what it was selling for at the time? I am pretty sure the SDF-1 cels (hankens?) that XSToys owns are all part of the same commercial art used for the side graphics on the old IMAI/ARII kit boxes. I recall seeing a similar cel of the Defender on eBay for a high starting bid...in the thousands if I remember correctly...I think one of the vendors was selling it at the MW Con in 2013....not sure if it sold or not. Does this kind of stuff still make it to Mandarake often? It's a shame Japan is so far away for me...I'm sure their web listings just scratch the surface of what is available in terms of vintage Macross items at their shops...

Dang!! Missed it again...will need to catch up this evening....Rosita dead yet?

Picked this up at a local toy show yesterday for my son...Optimus Mickey!!! Now they need to make a Disney/Macross crossover!!!!

Well, if you do buy it....just be happy knowing that it will be one of the most affordable Macross toy purchases of 2014...

Kind of difficult to provide pics when not many are apparently wanting to buy it ..... Maybe when it goes on a 50% off clearance sale....

....do what must be done EXO....... SD Prometheus and Daedelus!!!!!!!!

I'd be interested in purchasing the booklets for these boxsets.....if anyone just cares for the discs and wants to have their purchase subsidized a bit PM me with asking price....thanks!

Spotted on eBay....Really nice packaging.....guess there's no room for that luxury when you have to pay for licensing.... 2 DF-1's included!!! Makuros the First DF-1J!!!... Buster Mode!!!!!! This looks like it will be a fun toy to own....looking forward to receiving them....

Used alternative if anyone is interested.... http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w113332772

Then you haven't been paying attention to Carol's transformation..... She is empty now....she no longer takes into account any compassion or potential for "a possible alternative solution"....as far as she is concerned, if you are sick, maybe you'll make it...but sorry, not even going to entertain that thought...I will kill you now and "spare the drama or tough choice to be made by someone else" no need for a committee,I'LL HANDLE IT BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN'T..... In the situation Rick's group is in...there cannot be two strong leaders with opposing viewpoints on how to handle situations.....that was tried before with Shane....There cannot be two dominant alpha "males" in a pack.....it does not end well for one of them.....Carol is like an alpha dog, as the alpha dog, her primary concern is the survival of the pack, not any individual member of it.... Carl and Little Kick Ass are CHILDREN.....yes, even Carl, no matter what he has gone through, or how bad-ass he thinks he is, he is still a young boy, he is a weak link in the group....just based purely on physical attributes between men and boys...he will be slower, weaker, less mature.....who would you want in a closed quarters fight with other EVIL humans.....Tyreese or Carl??? Remember what happened when they ran into that drifter group at the end of Season 4???? Carol changed when she was banished by Rick....she changed into someone that sees things more as black and white.....correct and incorrect.....she makes decisions on the fly without any thought of the consequences...except for the quick alleviation of the problem.......the reason why I think she was preparing to leave once again is because she has lost that feeling of "family" that Rick still possesses.....she essentially views the group now in a similar way that a corporation sees "it's family (workforce)"....basically "it's all a big happy family until it's time to shed some "family" to increase your stock price"...You wouldn't want to work for Carol, Inc.... Carol would get rid of ANYBODY, if it meant the survival of the group....And Rick does not fully realize that yet...... Does doing things Carol's way work...sure.....until her way of doing things directly impacts or threatens you or your family....she is actually very lucky that Tyreese did not kill her....

Now we actually know how much more we are paying for an Arcadia VF-1 v. a Yamato VF-1.... Seems like they are up-charging a heck of a lot more for the VF-1's, than they did for the VF-19 Kai re-release........not looking forward to the price of the GBP combo set.....or a potential VT-1 and Max & Millia VF-1J Super combo sets....sucks to be a VF-1 fan...

Please tell us if there is an item of Tamashii Nations you want to buy in this webshop. * MACROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen to that!!!

Well, just keep in mind....Rick really doesn't know what he is up against when it comes to Carol, he does not have the whole story after the events of the prison....that whole scene where she basically tells him that he was right..."she could survive on her own"....means she is back because she wants to be not because she needs to be....additionally, Tyreese specifically decided not to mention what she did with the "crazy" girl.....not sure what Rick would think of that, but to me, it means Carol will do whatever it takes for the preservation of her "family"....she will never be weak (in her definition) again, like when she lost her daughter.........I mentioned it before...she has become very much like Shane, basically an alpha male-type in direct competition with Rick on the best way to lead the group and on what actions are acceptable in support of the group's preservation....unlike Rick.....she would not hesitate at sacrificing a member of the "family".....she has done it twice already without asking for anyone's opinion.....I am not sure I would want to have someone in my group like that, especially when I have a very vulnerable member of my family in the group.... Also, it sure looked like Carol was ready to ditch the group until Darryl showed up.... I find the direction of the story interesting......the set of characters that are being brought together.....Beth, Carol and Darryl.....the Walking Dead Love Triangle of sorts.......nothing good can come out of that......
