    The Ghost's canards have to be squeezed really tightly to make it fit. I don't want to risk breaking mine, and the fact that the missile pods don't fit either seems to indicate the old set is not really compatible.

    Well, if posts here are anything to go by, Bandai never manages to replicate all of the markings seen on the Frontier Valkyries. Especially when it comes to what's on the Super/Armor packs. I suppose they do just enough to mask any oversights though.

    Max Factory / GoodSmile opened up a factory in Japan last year. They've produced some Nendoroids and things like the figma horses there. http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2014/12/10/good-smile-companys-lucky-factory/

    I'm still working on the text review, so please enjoy the picture gallery in the meantime. http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/v/Toys/Arcadia/vf0ashinkudo/

    Bandai products are also subject to a noticeable price creep. This is especially true with their S.H. Figuarts and Robot Damashii toys. For example, the first version of Kamen Rider Black was 2,500 yen. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10083957 And the more screen-accurate version release a few years ago was 3,500 yen. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10234888 These days, a comparable figure like the Figuarts Stormtrooper is 4,000 yen. http://hlj.com/product/ban992861 And the First Order Stormtrooper is 5,000 yen. http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-3/bandai-2015%E5%B9%B412%E6%9C%88%E7%99%BC%E5%94%AE-s-h-figuarts%E3%80%8Astar-wars%E3%80%8Bfirst-order-stormtrooper-5000yen/ These are all basic action figures of a costumed person, so it's not something Bandai is inexperienced with. Bandai did have the advantage of starting off with lower prices, but at this rate it won't be long until DX Chogokins prices rise higher as well.

    I think it might vary from figure to figure. With mine it's easier to do the right wing over the left wing, but the box pics show the opposite. The tips of the Ghost's canards cannot fit into the top slots. They are not shaped for that.

    The alternate ghost booster use CFTs seem like they are slightly too close together to allow both ghost canards to slot in comfortably. It feels like I would be breaking the canards if I forced them in there.

    I address this at the beginning of the video.

    You don't have to be embarrassed by Star Pro level posts. Sometimes you gotta deal with a tight schedule and Ichiro Itano being in the hospital.

    You know I take everything seriously.

    The series really went downhill once they made the spaceship turn into a robot.

    The beauty of double standards.

    It never ceases to amaze me who many people purport sweeping statements about Macross 7, when they can't even describe the male lead properly.

    For those interested, the rep for Muv-Luv just said the Kickstarter is coming the first week of September. https://twitter.com/muvluvseries/status/633166162977624064

    I'm sorry, but anyone outside of the Japanese market is not entitled to anything regarding Macross toys. It's something we have to deal with, but it hasn't changed in the time since the very first Macross Zero toys came out. Plus, they've already announced the mass-produced type version (and the Shin type is clearly all ready to go out the door), so I think it's best to move on now. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and remember that it is the person that controls the hobby, and not the other way around.

    Yes, the KS is focused on releasing the main visual novel trilogy, which is split into two games. https://vndb.org/v93 "Muv-Luv" contains the first two parts, Extra and Unlimited. https://vndb.org/v92 Muv-Luv Alternative is the sequel that continues the story to its conclusion. It is also longer than both Extra and Unlimited put together. The people behind the KS are first releasing the "All-ages" version of the visual novels, which remove the brief sex scenes and censors a bit of the gore. They mentioned trying to get the uncut versions released later on, but for all intensive purposes, the All-Ages ones are perfectly fine.

    They've been talking about starting the campaign towards the end of August. I'd recommend following them on Facebook or Twitter and asking questions. https://www.facebook.com/muvluvseries They had their last poll about backers rewards recently as well. https://twitter.com/muvluvseries/status/631045590776807425
