Absolutely loving the direction IBO is taking. It's rare to see a series where the "protagonist" may be seen as the "bad guy" (depending on your interpretation of the morally grey conflict between McGillis and Vidar/Gaelio). 

I am late to this thread (and Delta as a whole), but I just finished watching the series. 

To preface this, Macross Frontier was one of my favorite shows of all time. I think it did an incredible job of telling a story, while developing a very tight cast of characters each with their own motivations and beliefs. Moreover, the mecha aspect of it was also very well done (I don't think the VF-31 has anything on how awesome and modular the VF-25, and its variants, were). 

On the other hand, Delta really let me down. I'll admit, I was already incredibly biased against the show due to it's emphasis on singing rather than military combat (as you might guess, I am also not a big fan of Macross 7). However, the first half of the show showed promise (up until around Episode 13, following Messer's death). However, after that, I felt like the show really lose direction and started to forget a lot of its own plot points. Things like the "Immelman dance" were kind of forgotten, while I felt like elements such as Hayate's dad were shoe-horned in as Deus Ex Machina to push what plot there was. 

Lastly, the love triangle wasn't nearly as well done as Frontier in my opinion. I really felt like it could go either way in Frontier as both Sheryl and Ranka were equally developed, but Delta really focused a bit too much on Freya imho. 

I suppose I'm just ranting at this point, and obviously nothing I've said is new to this thread. Just wanted to express my disappointment, as I was really hoping for a show of similar quality to Macross Frontier. Hopefully they'll be able to redeem themselves with the next series. With how many risks other popular series are taking (IBO as a stark departure from typical Gundam, and all the more successful for it, for example), I'm hoping to see a more gritty macross in line with Zero or Plus in the future.

Wha..?! I didn't see this thread. Happened so fast. I missed the Exia. 

Curious though. How much was the Exia sold after price drop? Thanks!

 

Hi, thanks for the interest. I sold the Exia for $150. 

GFFMC Gundam The Origin Sold, title changed to reflect this. 

Price drop on metal build exia. 

Responded to PM, added a metal build exia for sale as well. 

All items have been sold, thanks!

For those interested, the Crunchyroll store has the Metal Build Exia (Standard/R3, not R1) available for $154, with a $12 discount for premium members. 

Just snagged a copy myself! Use the code "SHINJI75" for free shipping as well within the U.S.

Hi All,

As the title states, I'm looking to get my feet wet with regards to the Metal Build gundam line. 

Let me know if you have any figures from this line that you wanted to sell. I'm looking to stay in the $150 - $200 range if at all possible. 

Thanks!

Added some new stuff, also added some pictures. 

Lowered prices!

Hi All,

As the title states, I have the following for sale:

PG RX-0 Unicorn + LED Kit Bundle - $290 shipped to continental U.S.

- Unfortunately, being in medical school, I have come to the somber conclusion that I will never have to time to build this beast in the foreseeable future. Neither box has been opened.

Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition for 3DS + Gamestop exclusive keychains - $160 shipped to continental U.S.

- I have opened the seal on this box, but played about one level of the game before putting everything back into the box (wasn't my cup of tea). The box has some minor shelf wear, but is in great condition outside of that. All the contents of the package are basically new/unused.

Not sure if I've formally ever been added to the straight shooters list, but I've sold and bought a bunch of stuff over the years on this forum with no complaints.

Let me know if you're interested! (Pictures forthcoming)

Best,

-Archer

EDIT: (Also open to trades for Threezero Titanfall stuff)

Hi all,

This might be a long shot, but I am trying to hunt down a 1/12 Atlas mech (from the game titanfall) produced by Threezero.

Let me know if you have one you're interested in selling.

Thanks,

-Archer

Really enjoyed the book, and am very excited for the movie. As others have stated though, the book pulls references from so many different sources (anime, 80s television and music, etc.).

I can't imagine them being able to license stuff like Gundam, Voltron, Macross, on top of big name 80s stuff, just for the sake of this one movie.

Edit: Lowered price, trying to move this ASAP!

Hi,

I recently picked up a MISB Arcadia VF-0S from AmiAmi, but have since decided that I do not have the space for it.

The box has yet to have its seal opened.

Looking for $265 shipped within the continental U.S.

I haven't been as active here on MW as I have in the past, but have done sales before that have gone very smoothly.

Please let me know if you're interested (and I can provide pictures upon request).

Thanks!

EDIT: SOLD, thanks for all interested parties!

Thanks for all the offers/help everyone! Ended up picking up a lot of loot, so I'd like to formally close this thread.

Thanks again!

Let me know if you wanna let go of any of the stuff above! I'm in the continental U.S. for shipping purposes.

MISB is preferred, but I'm not picky.

Lastly, i'm not sure if I'm on the SS list (it's been a while since I've posted), but I've done a few deals on here (selling and buying) in the past that have worked out great!

I think the PS4's issues go beyond one's internet speed. I get 600 mbps on my PC with an ethernet connection. That same ethernet connection gives my PS4 around 30 mbps?!

Wait, what's the spoiler? Apologies if I missed it, but I can't see anything that would be a spoiler. We've already seen the Star Winning right?

I think season 1 was great because we actually knew all the fighters on a fairly personal level (Fellini, Meijin, Mao, etc.). We also had Aila as a side-plot that was developed quite well too.

Now we have some other schools, only two of which are really relevant/developed (Gunpla Academy and the Tryon squad). No real "antagonist" to be found like the chairman from last season, etc.

I personally think that season 2 should have piggybacked off of season 1 with individual fights and a lot more recurring cast.

Also, season 1 showed a lot of the "building" part of gunpla as well. Sekai, on the other hand, just kind of fell into an epic gunpla from the start, and so we don't really know that much about Build Burning either.

I wonder if we'll see a season 3 at this point. I mean, we've yet to see any previous faces save for Meijin. Maybe we'll get like a "middle school champions enter the actual legit world tournament" season, or something of that sorts?

We've had Fellini and Luang Dallara mentioned as top fighters in the individual world tournament.

Anyone order Majora's Mask New 3DS XL from Fry's? Looks like a lot of them are being cancelled due to overselling issues.

Man, I wonder how limited this release really is. The monster hunter version seems to go on sale every other day if you keep your eyes out. I actually think Nintendo should do a second run of this MM edition just to spite the scalpers.

Ended up switching new 3ds xl black to a Majora's Mask edition when gamestop opened up orders the other day. The design really grew on me the past couple days, so I made the switch.

I'm convinced the in-universe reason nobody uses Unicorn is because it's actually banned under GBWC regulations.

But really, there's no getting around how popular 00 and its MS designs were, even if I don't like them. And thanks to weird Japanese copyright rules, they can finally show 00 suits, so that's what they're doing. Not enough time has passed for Unicorn, though. Kinda lame.

Could have sworn there was a rezel in the first episode? Maybe we'll at least see more Unicorn grunt units.

But that bionic eye aimbot though
