Nice film strips - wonder what mine will be like. Knowing my luck, it'll be some stupid boring civilian scene. LOL
-
Got my shipping notification this morning, DYRL BD here it comes! Also got shipping notice for the 1/60 DYRL VF-1S and 1A. Ouch, my wallet!

DYRL BD Remaster - the Good.......and the BAD.
Phalanix replied to SCOOPUDA!'s topic in Movies and TV Series
Soooo... we will still get to see Minmay's tits in HD right? -
Planning on getting 2, but as many others it'll depend on the unit price.
-
The same as the VF-25G, just a place holder. =(
-
Soooo, is there anywhere we can start pre-ordering (outside of Japan) or are we still waiting for confirmation on pricing and for the popular retailers to list them? I don't see this at the usual proxy service sites yet.
-
We're all young still at heart? lol
-
I have the 1/1 Yamato DYRL helmet (not the motorcycle one). That thing is huuuuuge, and if it is truly 1/1, I wouldn't want to be riding a bike with it, DOT approved or not. LOL
-
Any idea if HLJ will be picking up orders for this, since they have exclusives with Yamato and all...
-
The problem is sourcing replacement products or parts, a lot of the places couldn't even fill all the pre-orders. These aren't Yamato Valks we're talking about (darn you Bandai, darn you)!
-
HLJ probably still has them, if their site is working properly. LOL Same thing happened with the previous Bandai Ranka and Sheryl "valkyrie" editions. Pre-orders sold out fast, but come release day, they have an abundent in stock. Hell, they're already showing up in the bargin bin and HLJ sale recently. LOL Still, I had pre-ordered the new Sheryl from AmiAmi, <3 Sheryl!
-
Just got my payment request e-mail from HLJ for the 171EX.
-
Picked up another Tomohawk and Defender destroids... wanted to get another Milia VF-22S just cuz of the amazing discount but logic slightly kicked in, so I passed on that. LOL
-
Doubt it, old v2 version, I picked one up during a previous sale. But I got the replacement shoulder hinges here, so no fear! =)
-
Might be that the white/plastic on the older Valk started to yellow?
-
I wonder if Yamato will release a CF teal VF-17, I'd get that over the Diamond Force, since that means I won't have to get 3 to complete the set. LOL
-
Hope so, looks amazing in the photos - though I never understood why they're called Emerald force yet there's no hint of green in their colour scheme.
-
HS and AA are great, never had to replace anything though, but canceling quantities or existing orders aren't as easy as HLJ. You shouldn't have any problems with their service, I've been ordering all my recent valks from their due to the better pricing - every little bit helps!
-
Simple, that's because Macross SDF/DYRL characters are taller in 1/1 scale than those in Frontier. Have you seen the size of the 1/1 replica of the DYRL helmet? All joke aside, it depends on the scale of the source, for example: VF-1A Fighter Mode: wingspan 14.78 (fully extended); height 3.84 meters; length 14.23 meters VF-25F Fighter Mode: wingspan 15.5 (fully extended); height 4.03 meters; length 18.72 meters. So in 1/60 scale, they'd be different in size. But even so, manufacturer scaling on toys and figures are an enigma and doesn't always make sense. Just enjoy the toys as they are!
-
Dunno about you US guys, but we usually get raped by custom fees and brokerage fees coming in to Canada. Hell, just now UPS dropped off my Shapeways shoulder hinges with a brokerage fee of $14.35 on items valued at $25. F-U UPS. Very rarely do I ever get charged by EMS / Canada Post.
-
$235 at Hobby Search, I'm tempted to get a 17D as I don't have one, but I think the look, paint job and the fact I have a 19S won me over. Gonna complete the Emerald Force squadron, will save Diamond Force when there's a sale (hopefully).
-
Interesting, Hobby Search is actually cheaper than AmiAmi for the 17 and 19 this time, and better points return value too.
-
Head looks a little odd to me too, but I much prefer this over that pinapple head on the 17S. Might pick up this version instead.
-
Yamato can include a paper bag to fit over his head as a bonus accessory.
-
Don't understand why Yamato can't just make a PVC figure, they have a decent line of anime figures already.
