  1. Do we know what the specs of the SoC RX93FF will be? If it is similar in size, material and gimmicks, why not release it in the GFFMC or MB line?
  2. Got my VF-31AX from HLJ and the shipping papers state that the country of origin is China. So my theory that Bandai manufactured it in some new factory in Vietnam seems to be false.
  3. If they use these knights I might be interested in buying the Castle set: They were always my favorite knight Minifigs.
  4. I know but I habe the most recent Star Destroyer playset from Lego and I’m good with that. The UCS one is tempting but too tall for my display case. The Super Star Destroyer is a vessel missing in my collection. My thinking was that Lego might to a renewal of the SSD after the regular one. On the other hand the design of the SSD doesn’t lend itself well to a redesign the same way the Star Destroyer did I think.
  5. I’m in a bit of a pickle. I put up my Lego Star Wars collection and noticed that a: my RotJ shelf looks a bit empty. And b: the glass cabinet would fit the USC Super Star Destroyer. Looking at aftermarket prices they are a bit too high for my likings. Ranging from $800 to $1200 for a sealed set. I really want to have one though so I was wondering if Lego would redo a UCS SSD soonish.
  6. As of time of writing the MB Hi-Nu Gundam is available for preorder at BBTS: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/195329 $360 with a $36 deposit.
  7. I think this is a good indicator that they are implementing some sort of change. Usually the Tamashii Nations don’t get delayed. At least in the lines I’m collecting.
  8. Nice review @mikeszekely. The only thing I have to add is that MP-28 always was a terribly bad rendition of Hot Rod. Much to my surprise FTs Hoodlum was also a failure. Especially since FT could have knocked it out of the park and really made a name for themselves being the better manufacturer of MP robots. On the other hand the official MP line was on a downhill slope after MP Bumblebee so I guess FansToys won by default?
  9. Am I the only one that thinks this Batman looks like Daredevil?
  10. I know what you mean. But I think it will be impossible to get a look similar to the comic pages with just silver/metallic paint. To me black seems to be the more sensible choice.
  11. I need more variety in the 00 suits. I have an Exia Repair, regular Exia, Qana[t] and Seven Sword on one shelf and from a distant you could think that they are all the same Mobile Suit because their colors are identical.
  12. Mecha Gaikotsu did a review on the Astraea Type-X Finsternis and you can get a better idea what the figure will look in day- and studio-light: Still waiting for my preorder from BBTS to come in stock.
  13. Oh is it? I must have missed that. Then disregard my comment.
  14. Just a heads up if you planning preordering from HLJ this Friday. I tried to add an item to my cart and it wouldn’t let me until I deleted my cookies. I think they also had server maintenance this morning. So you might want to test if you can still put items in your cart.
  15. I would prefer Storm with a black costume. I wonder if this is a possibility.
  16. Thanks, didn’t see the minor changes. At first glance I thought that the Red Dragonics uses some clasps like the Blue Frame for the missile pods on his legs.
  17. I don’t think I understand the thinking for the two options. I understand that Bandai wants to give people the chance of owning the Red Dragon without buying the new Astray Red Frame as well but why doesn’t the set include the parts you need to make it one? Like the additional pods on the legs. And why not include the Neo Caletvwlch blades but the attachment pieces for the regular Caletvwlchs (that come with a version of said pieces). I’m confused

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    I think the head laser design could be a case of Arcadia showing the initial design to Kawamori for approval and he replied that the head ladder always poked into the Fast Pack in his mind and so they had to change it.
  19. I don’t think there are any good options in that price range. Maybe if you can find a used MakeToys Green Giant? What does he want to do with it. Actually playing with it or use it as a display piece? [edit:] Maybe the non-transforming Before & After Engineer General: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134024782458?hash=item1f347fe27a:g:dLsAAOSw47ViCuD1
  20. There was also a talkshow about the new anime with some of the voice actors and the director. I was only able to skip through it due to time constraints but they have some additional character art in there. Enjoy: [edit:] So Toyama Nao (Reina from Macross Delta) is the voice actress for Princess Sheila.
  21. Ah yes, Polno… I don’t think they will get that far. If I remember correctly the story turned into a real mess once the angles and devils got introduced.
