On the VF-4, will shaving some off the peg that tabs into the nosecone help reduce/eliminate the gap between the nose and cockpit in fighter mode?
-
Yeah but the cockpit ball in the first image is much smaller than it really is on the model kit. In the model kit, that ball cockpit takes up most of the space in the head. So it's around 2x the size of what is shown in that image.
-
I still find it amazing how some close up shots of HMR (e.g. Saburo's) can make it look as good (or sometimes better) than the 1/60 version.
-
That is not a new stand. That's been around for years now with their bigger figures. I first got one of those with their Re:Edit Hulkbuster.

Hi no3ljm. Oh, sorry I didn't know it will take that much time and effort. It's okay if you don't want to do it. Also, I made a mistake. It's not from the 2nd movie but rather the final episode of the TV series (ep 25). It's around the 15:17 to 15:55 minute mark. Of course some of the scenes inbetween need to be edited out for a more concise video.
-
I know this has been requested before, but can someone like no3ljm create a video of the scene from the 2nd Macross Frontier movie where the Vajra queen builds up and fires a super beam attack (Preorder Madness) at the Macross Frontier (Macross item) and it get blocked by all those smaller vajras and their shields (server error, cart jack, etc). When all the dust clears it ends in failure and cuts to a scene of some rage quit/table flipping/pc monitor punching dude.

I always check back on this thread 30 mins-1 hr late whenever a new preorder link is found
-
Hey if worse comes to worst, I hope they'll at least release Kakizaki and I'll be able to get him. Then at least I can get a mold of the 1A, then keep the rest of the 1/48 collection to just 1 of each type.
-
I am down to my last resort and am trying to see if I can secure a preorder from a local shop. If that doesn't pan out, that might be it for me with regards to the 1/48 DX line. I've been able to secure every single Bandai DX release since I got into it with the first release YF-29 Durandal. And because of that I kinda felt obligated to continue getting them all for the collection. But if I am not gonna be able to get them all, that kills a lot of the motivation for me complete the line. One thing about collectors like me. Sometimes it's all or nothing.
-
Is this available for preorder at any of the other usual shops (e.g. Amiami, Nippon-Yasan, etc)? Tried checking just now but didn't see any. BBTS is not an option for me as I am not in the US.
-
Actually the vendor in that Amazon link is Best Buy Online.

For those that don't mind paying inflated prices: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B07QC9VHJC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2OJHQVQ3FL6CL&psc=1 Just saw 2 others post the same link. Please delete.

This is the first preorder madness I've failed in years...
-
It does sink. Maybe your copy has an issue? On the bright side, you're not missing out on much by not having battroid mode.
-
After transforming mine for the first time, I must say that if the Japanese reviewer wasn't able to lock the chest firmly in place for battroid, then he was doing it wrong. It locks pretty solidly in place, though I can imagine someone accidentally missing the step where you push the top part of the chest forward after pressing it down over the cockpit. P.S. - I still think battroid looks ugly
-
First time I've seen that. Though to be honest, that does look like something that would result from mishandling, especially when posing the legs and transforming it. But I think the amount of force needed to make those dents would have been significant.
-
Does anyone know until when the preorders for the VF-31 armor parts will stay open? Is it likely it will stay available past 4/12? Thanks.
-
I will only ever leave that armor set displayed in fighter mode. Same as my 25s.

Those lions always looked more like dogs anyway.

Got mine in.Shoulder joints are not as tight as I want, but they're not loose. It's taller than I expected, but that's mainly because I've learned to tone down my expectations whenever I get a big box from Bandai (e.g. SOC Full Action series). After posing it a bit, it seems the ankles are a bit loose on mine too. Be careful if you have the same issue as a face plant might snap the horn off the head.
-
Personally I think those launch stands are horrible. I have one but can't really use it because it's not stable, further exacerbated by Yamato/Arcadia sometimes placing the connection mount in areas very far away from the valk's center of gravity.
-
Yes. And as mentioned before, the lil drakens that go with Keith match even better with the S.
-
Indeed. But I think the ones that came before look really nice with Arad's 31

VF-31E preorder cancellations aside, I got my Drakens from NY earlier today but didn't get a chance to open them before leaving for work. But now I'm home and had the chance to put them on. They're okay. Nothing surprising.
