    I thk the reason of having 2 options could be due to currency fluctuations for paypal so that they themselves could have leeway on not losing on exchange rates. That being said, fluctuations havent been that wild to warrant it, but who knows going forward with the US stance on currencies. On one hand i like that they tot of folks who might break it. On the other, i hope its not too loose that it would pop off easy. But kudos to bandai for being consumer friendly in this regard! Now, on to shapeways for extravagant headgear! Or how would a fedora look on messer's valk? .... The fact that it got through the whole promo cycle with nary a fuss maybe meant the angle wasn't that obvious in the first place. Tho i can understand the frustration accuracy wise. I was also kinda miffed that they overlooked that, but its not a deal breaker for me. Of course am biased, cos i found the angled reaper in fighter mode left to much empty space to be desired. This way at least it looks to own the space on the fuselage. Lastly, I dont think its in Bandai's fashion to have fixes for small issues. They didn't have any renewals for the 30 nor the reissued 29 with the upside down SMS tampo. So i wouldn't hold my breathe for them to do anything here.

    Oh i tot you went for the sea shipping without tracking, and yes, SAL registered is better than EMS heheh... Oh no, cancelled at the time messer is released?

    whats this? a remake of the fly?
  6. frankly the reasons i liked the original macross (SDFM) vibes were in order of importance; 1) animation 2) valkries 3) characters who grew-up, had responsibilities and weren't teens who can magically pilot mecha. (hikkie at least went to flight school rite? ) but that's nostalgia, macross has evolved, animation has evolved, and so has the need to grow a new audience. That aside, the current valks are like works of art! Mechanical design wise kawamori-san has improved leaps and bandai has kept up! if not for anything, just be glad that the valkyrie design envelope is still being pushed to the sky is the limit!!

    As much as i prefer the slow and cheaper way, i salute you for going with SAL shipping! Was never confidant of myself to wait without a shipping tracker..

    Heheh thats part of the experience, bar waiting at the gate for the postman But cdjapan has pay upfront so like it or not here it comes! and i only took cdjapan cos i didnt want to go thru the risk/hassle of hunting messer.. I have another from ami and m gonna wait till the last day to pay, hoping that it will not get included in my next cc bill. Definitely prefer the slow and cheaper way!
  11. The title sounds like you are facing a burnout dude. If so, just take a break and don't feel the need to analyze every aspect of macross or the toys. You will enjoy macross better...

    Doesnt quite explain why the Angel wings crossed the right side hinge though. I thk its just a case of the angle being overlooked.

    LOL... it was that way back when the promo's came out and no-one noticed till now... The prototype had it angled, so probably lost in translation... That being said, i thk the back looks much better with the reaper non angled... Did thk the anime was angled a tad much...

    Oh yeah baby! Hmm I am wondering if i should get a ghost-riders f-14 diecast to complement messer...

    Ah right, i do like the option of paying later if possible. However it sounds good overall, should have known em before, when i had so many pay upfronts via N-Y... will keep em in mind tho, thx for the heads-up!

    Nice, the missile cloud covers the missile container completely and you dont see them still stored. was hoping that these could be used elsewhere but i guess the needs to be a missile container abt the same size for the illusion to be complete..
  18. hmmm poking around the interwebz...not sure if these are true...fits the Arcadia zeros apparently usual issue of not being to translate properly...

    No limit on storage sounds interesting, whats the catch with AE compared to HLJ? Shipping costs?

    I dont think there should be any issue, the SP's do not look any different between delta squad valks. Plus if you could raise the gunpod/charger, i dont see why the radome shouldn't be able to do the same and raise over the SPs on the wing.
  21. hey hey hey....hmmmm..... cant find any in4mation on it...

    Really liking the supers for messer, it looks like there is a dash of light blue (?) on the side of the parts. P-bandai recommended buyee, from japan or samurai buyer as proxies. Handling seems abt similar to N-Y approx 500 yen add on... Wondering if those are better than N-Y in terms of shipment costs?
