  1. That'd be fine for anyone who wanted highspeed mode, but the gimmick isn't worth the breakage worry of moving the wings.
  2. Sadly, I'd probably buy Alto's wing men if they made them, even though both of them get KIA.
  3. THIS! for god sake lock those wings!
  4. Arcadia needs to do something big if they want to survive. If i were them, I would spend every penny to get the FB2012 license and get that VF-4 rereleased. It's the only thing that they have, that will be an absolute winner, and be worth the high cost to almost everyone.
  5. It looks like a waist joint, we don't know the full transformation yet, but anything is possible. Bandai has had a 25,27,29 and a 30 to work out kinks. I hope it ends up showing on this.
  6. I still don't understand what the hell we are comparing? the Arcadia YF-19 was nothing close to perfect, many issues, including loosening joints, broken wings, stress marks, and part gaps. No one has any idea about this new release but two pictures and it's already being loathed. My issues with the Renewals so far are loose joints, and exploding triangles. I feel the Bandai valks feel more like trust worthy toys IMO, where Arcadia products feel more model like, and I hardly ever transform them. doesn't make one better, than the other. I feel like what should be a positive note (product competition) is turning you into elitist snobs. remember what happens when companies compete, things get better, and cheaper. Bandai Vs. Arcadia is the same as Apples to Oranges. They are both fruits, but have different tastes, and textures. But they both are delicious.
  7. Regardless of why Yamato actually taked, it wasn't from us foreigners waiting for left over stock to sell at discount. We aren't part of their market research. They over-saturated their main market, and had to much product to easily available. With how little left over Arcadia product is, I'd say they are doing something right.
  8. Woah man, someone tell you, you were poor today or something? No need to be negative towards people trying to be spend savvy.
  9. Takumi Yamazaki is fully credited in Sayonara No Tsubasa. It's 100% Isamu. I highly doubt Kawamori added that cameo, so Bandai, five years after could make a toy.
  10. I feel like there's going to be time displacement story line in there somewhere. I'm going with "Ancient secrets, and mysteries" and saying the Triangle is probably representation of the Bermuda Triangle, where many aircraft and ships have been lost without ever being found. This would roll the story back to the Megaroad, and possibly the Galactic core. Perhaps even running into the last remnants of the protoculture who are lost in time, until a heroic idol singer uses the power of singing to save the protoculture, unlock the megaroad from time fault, and restore the balance of the galaxy!!! and omg look, Misa never aged, she's still smoking hot, and omg Hikaru still is flying VF-4's! and they transform! yeay! I also the think that regardless of which storyline we take from Frontier, both the movie and the series end with Frontier and Galaxy being toast. With huge issues in conspiracy, sabotage, and mutiny. These events will ripple across the galaxy and either create a division amongst Colony ships or cause NUNS to take more authority over the political side of operations. Eight years is a blink of the eye, It means our teenage cast is now mid twenties, I think there's going to be lots of cameo's. Even though Kawamori has had a habit of only having a few character cameo's, I think Frontier really blew the lid off, and he realizes there's going to be money holding onto some of the cast from Frontier. AFAIK, Frontier was the most successful of the Macross series, so money means stay close to the magic ingredients.
  11. The Arcadia wings will eventually sag with the packs if left in Bat mode anyway. At least Bandai is giving you the ability to have those joints not be stressed while in bat mode. I prefer the more Robotic friendly look of this Bandai DX. The joints will get lose, it's a DX after all. But Arcadia's 19' wasn't exactly without issues.
  12. VF-1 was in Sayonara No Tsubasa during Ranka's first live concert. They can do it, not to mention there's a whole bunch of licensing confusion. It's shark infested waters, but it looks like Bandai found a paddle.
  13. This YF becoming real, well it's a good sign for the DX series to get another prominent model. It's been "prophesied".
  14. Hmm, looks like the rumor was true after all, now to see if the second rumor shows up at the same time. This is so bought.
  15. It's sad, if this was from 3A, it would be 500$, but be super articulated, and have lights, full paint, and full weathering. That's why I'm not going to be impressed with this If it's around the same price. Hell Rex and Ray are bigger, with more moving parts, and light gimmicks, and were around 450$
  16. Because Daryl was playing it safe making sure it was clear man, come on now!
  17. They made a big deal out of it in frontier, so I imagine there was some differentiating factor in finding the Vajra planet over the previous ones. I think it was because the atmospheric composition was extremely close to Earth's. Zola doesn't count, it was already inhabited.
  18. I made this for anyone who loves this, I know I didn't steal anyone's pictures from here. I have no problem making wallpapers and stuff with anyone on here's pictures. Especially Saburo's! If he gives me authorization I'll go to town doing fun collages from the various models. However it's time for some 30 Rock and Roll'!
  19. I went ahead an bought one, I saw the exchange rate dropped again since yesterday, made the Luca 145$. I don't want to regret it when this one goes emo status because no one wanted it in the beginning. Funny, because I let the pre-order cancel, which was around 172$. Yikes! I paid for EMS, but I reckon' it will take a week for them to even ship it. *** wow, mine is shipped, that's crazy fast turn around.
  20. I would be willing to say, You got it, it's a trick they have pulled in the past. Rewind back to current.
  21. You guy are forgetting, in the Frontier TV show, the SMS and NUNS were being combined into one uniformed force by the owner of SMS Richard Birler. This Subplot wasn't in the Movies, but as we know from history, pieces were in fact part of the real universe. So is the SMS still around, or have we reverted back to a Military only service? It's only been 8 years, Frontier has made history with mankind finding another Earth like planet. I highly doubt we won't see plenty of cameo's, not too mention Ranka was still early in her career. from the Shudista box set, Alto has returned, and Sheryl has awakened from her coma, (apparently) but how long later is the question?
  22. OR... it means they intended to make the weapons pack slightly cheaper, and make it easier for you to decide to get it, since you already have the wings! lol. I'd be shocked if they didn't use this as a chance to repaint the RVF ghosts into a pack.
