    Hi-Metal R

    At that price it had better come with the dang sap. But I thk it does come with the SAP as 14/15k for just a 1/100 valk alone will be stretching it ... M2 isn't a fav with me but the vf2ss is unique enough for me to give it a second glance. the proportions really need to be spot on for it to avoid looking like a flattened pancake valk..

    Sudden splash of cold reality. Bandai as ever the smarty folks they are pricing this up there knowing the demand for a decent m2 toy... The proportions seem way better than evo, and I like the Sap connectors where it looks like there are movable wing flaps there.. Also seems the tomahawk and phalanx destroids are gonna be pushed back then...who knows maybe they will retweak the tomahawk colors heheh

    Allllriiiigggghhhhttyyy then!! wait how much is that again...tochiro mentioned 15k yen?
  4. From AE's page, it lists the parts as no painting required, so thats an indication its prepainted parts. However am not sure if its pre-weathered. I was mulling getting it, but at the moment at least, its a bit too pricey for my taste.
  5. phew AE has the pre-order of PG falcon at abt 46k'ish..which is higher than the 43k MSRP! Whoever bites, pls post some pics and WIPs!!
  6. Thanks for the explanation seto, having never tot there was such a thing as fold carbon, i would have tot the translation a machine translation error!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    What surprised me was the fact that the collars behind the canopy on the 31A were likely fold carbon's hence the black colored look of the collars. Plus i learnt something abt fold carbons too by seto explained in the hase 31 and newbiew thread..
  8. True but coal is primarily carbon. Thats why diamonds dont burn well hehe...but m interested to hear more abt these carbon quartz/crystals from the tech gurus here..
  9. Add hmr spartans as bouncers and club macross is ready to party! Hehe
  10. Waitamin carbon is what makes up coal rite? So the A's are running on coal?? Make macross great again??

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Hmm the details abt the hasegawa 31a kit on the likely absence of quartz collars, made me look again on the lack of fold quartz, and this pic seems to confirm less quartz/crystals abound in the 31a. On thr nose especially since there seems to remain only 2 sensors?, really begs for a shark mouth variant on the 31a...
  12. Come to thk abt it, would make sense for the non fsw A series being the base variants to lack fold quartz that give the high performance walkure valks the edge.. So the fsw valk collar crystals give way to...what, carbon crystals?
  13. http://hobby.dengeki.com/news/397567/ Not sure if am reading too much into the translation engine, but i thk hase's 31A will be coming with a fold booster?
  14. Apart from tenjin hidetaka my other follows are artists from my youth like Walter Simonson and Bill Sienkiewicz. So no, not that much on the manga side, more on the olde comics side.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    +1 for the surrounding sweetness on and off the table.....
  17. It's more of an infomercial on the details as part of the macross modellers show and tell...

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Hey lolicon, were ur flimsy leg armors on thr left side and specifically, the left missile covers clip on very loosely? Just trying to check if there is a pattern as my missile covers are loose on the left side.
  19. Its hard to summarise gunpla, because the scale and lines are very extensive...i can only say what i normally go for are the 1/100 Master Grades (MG's) / 1/144 High Grades (HG's) / 1/144 Real Grades (RG's) and the odd Super Deformed (SD) here and there. 1/100 MG's range 30~60usd, 1/144 HG's range approx 5~30usd and RG's abt 20~30 usd in general with exceptions around the each of the ranges. Web- Exclusives are a different matter and you add abt a 30% mark-up to the regulars... The HG's esp are like crack, cos on a lazy weekend, you can put one together in a few hours and end up with a realistic mecha display that fits on your tabletop/shelf! Plus i thk if you look at the magnitude of gundam designs....its madness... The HGUC list gives you a lil sense of the magnitude of gundam designs...http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/High_Grade_Universal_Century That would be a sad day, i wonder if he is grooming anyone to continue his design legacy. Hate to not see any more valks evolving.... Glad you folks have shared with your loved ones the value of you collection, that's the one thing i still haven't done. They know i collect, but they don't know exactly how much it costs... But i did tell them, macross is my one of my vices (or is it the only one?) that i find it VERY DIFFICULT to say NO to, as i can be quite the spend thrift. So on that front i have indirectly HINTED to them! That said, if it does become too expensive, although i might not say no, i realize the point.... no money no valk...
  20. Correction, seems like they did have the reaper in the gerwalk photo. You can just make out a horn at the edge of the wing. But the illusion is there, and gives maybe an idea to have an alternate look to not include the reaper knight.. Just one? i guess no extra DX for you to custom this valk then, since its sort of a custom of hayate's 05 in the first place..

    Hi-Metal R

    Am ok with hmr's spread out..wallet prefers a marathon rather than the 100m dash ...i hope all these art including non-valks will b in a fourth sorties book!!
  22. Got these pics from hlj. They forgot to apply the reaper on one of the pics...looks quite fetching plain too..what does everyone thk abt a livery with black/blue stripes but without a reaper? Plus never tot there would be a black strip underside too..I like it...
