    After 7(?) years, decided to finally get the newer version of Grace's valk: (they don't show up often---saw two this year, which is very unusual---took it as a sign)
  2. David Hingtgen
    The DX adapters are sold out already too?
  3. David Hingtgen
    Macross 30's "use, and lack of use" by Bandai is so weird----they made the YF-30 itself, but none of its AWESOME repaints in the game to get any use out of the mold. But they made -29 repaints. But not Mei's awesome white+purple -27...
  4. David Hingtgen
    I'm gonna need a UN kite stand (or two) and a DX base adapter. My -31 has only ever been on the Bandai stand (which looks terrible).

    Finally a Phoenix fleet-defense successor:

    A non-PF VF-0D, using plastic colors similar to the HMR VF-0D, would be insta-bought... (as in, a VF-0D in the right colors, but without having to pay hundreds of extra dollars just to get those correct base colors)
  7. David Hingtgen
    95% chance it will...
  8. David Hingtgen
    Same---still waiting for Max and Milia. I refuse to buy any DX VF-1 before that. Doesn't need a single new part, and can re-use 90% of the tampo printing. Just need new pilot names and modex numbers...
  9. David Hingtgen
    With Macross Seven? It's gonna be Basara Prime, or Rodimus Song. Mylene/Arcee/MAXL would definitely work though, if they make a 2nd one...
  10. David Hingtgen
    Well, the Shield Liger-Optimus has a ton of new parts, but the Godzilla OP and Megs look like minimal-effort repaints. So Basara's valk could run the gamut--I didn't instantly recognize the silhouette they showed, but it looks like it has half a VF-19 hanging upside down off its back. So likely a re-shell of an existing mold.

    I really like the Aces of Aviation HELMETS, I'd buy all of them, for display. But I'm not paying $$$ to get a whole big figure, just for the helmet...
  12. David Hingtgen
    Out of nowhere, after 7 years---TFC is actually finishing their Abominus:
  13. David Hingtgen
    Getting this instead of dark green, or even better, Elvis pearl-white, is just mind-boggling...
  14. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I was thinking "starting with an unpainted one" might be the easiest option, than trying to remove certain bits of markings and REpaint. "First time they've ever been painted", in red, of simple stripes, would be easier for the wings and tailfins. Take the legs/fuselage/armor of this one, "blank" wings and tailfins, and go from there, if you want a truly G1 Jetfire.
  15. David Hingtgen
    I was thinking similarly---red FAST packs alone are almost worth it. A Hikaru DYRL VF-1S was never that far off to customize, especially if you used some bits from a Hikaru TV 1J. But "completely repainting every bit of dark blue-grey-green FAST packs into bright red" is difficult for most anybody, especially if you want it to survive more than one removal of them.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I'd be more inclined to buy it if it was "blank" or more Autobot-esque markings---no diamond kite, no skulls, no UN SPACY. To get "proper" Autobot colors, will take more than just some insignia stickers---you'll need to repaint some areas. Could be just me, but the white skulls on the red tailfins seem especially odd---like, you gotta have a black background for white skulls. They are the #1 thing I think "it'd look better if they'd left them off".
  17. David Hingtgen
    I'd be happy if they did, as there's zero chance I'll buy Basara's, so Mylene's doesn't need to "fit" with it. Though with Arcadia seemingly refusing to reissue the VF-19F/VF-19S, HMR versions of those based on this one, may be my only option for non-insane money...
  18. David Hingtgen
    If they make the MAXL the same *size* then it'll be a way different scale, like 1/85...
  19. David Hingtgen
    Schrödinger's antenna---it's not bent until you check it.
  20. David Hingtgen
    It's August now---any consensus on best transformation video etc? Have any of the new ones "discovered" anything that the earlier ones missed? (still eagerly awaiting AnyMoon/Scorched Earth's)
  21. David Hingtgen
    I can't imagine actually wanting whatever it is that Bandai may eventually plan to use the removable aspect for. If they want to recreate the morphing wing scene---needs a whole new wing, not just flaps and ailerons.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Has anyone else actually glued the flaps to the wing? They are SO slippery I dropped parts like 4 times this morning and said "that's enough". Pro-tip: do not glue them in one at a time---there's like 0.2mm too little space side-to-side, so if you glue one in "perfectly flush and tight" to the wing and let it dry---the one next to it will be noticeably pushed out of position. Glue them simultaneously, and adjust to get "the best possible gap/look" between the two. (the tiny little inner third piece doesn't matter, just the two larger ones)
  23. David Hingtgen
    From AmiAmi to the US, DHL was the most expensive, but by only slightly more than the other "good" options, and was by far the fastest of the other options. So I paid like $6 more to save a week. (and then the driver literally DROPPED it off with a big thump, amazed the antenna was ok)
  24. David Hingtgen
    Hmmn. The -21 is basically a Quedluun-Rau as a valk, so backpack comparison:
  25. David Hingtgen
    Got mine from AmiAmi, antenna is good:
