We're going small on this one.

I like your pink valk! I also opened my SDF-1. A bit concerned about the metal pins on the arms. What do you guys think? Any danger there?
-
Next to the valks, the Monster doesn't look too huge. Space is always a worry.
-
I'm with you on enemy mecha and destroids in this line. I have my main stuff in 1/60, but HMR is a great way to round out some VF repaints that I never had space for...Can't wait for my first CF! Need someone to stand guard after all.
-
On the bright side, the upside down SMS valk may be worth a fortune one day.

Nice anime blue on the Yamato. I'm working on my 1/1000 to have lighting effects. But really slowed down because my pin-vice will just not drill through the turrets. Bummer...

Yes, their business decisions are mind boggling: Roy is web exclusive and Brownie is retail. The only explanation I can think of is that they used Roy to gauge local Japan demand, before a full retail launch later. But you would think the Brownie would be the exclusive in order to avoid bad sales. If a bunch of Brownies end up as shelf warmers over there, it would be terrible for the line.
-
Hmm... does this release of the CF Brownie mean an increased chance we get a VF-1D, the M&Ms and all the rest we want? Seems like it to me, since a lot of that stuff might be considered more market friendly.

One M down, one to go.

I agree HM-R may slow down a bit. The lack of global rights keeps Macross down. It will always be a niche until that is cleared up, probably never...

Never saw a helmet collection before. But that's the way to do it. Beautiful!
-
I don't know... My 171 seems bow-legged in Battroid stance..
-
Amiami accidentally shipped mine to the wrong country. Explanation from them? "Oh, crap happens, wait and it will come back to you." Hrumpfff!
-
My wishlist is simple. M&Ms and 4 Destroids, and make it snappy.
-
Nice.
-
Is there a pro here who can volunteer to paint this and give us a step by step video instruction?
-
Well, if I'm ever going to learn how to shade a figure, it will have to be for Minmay.
-
I could never paint it that well. But parts are apparently paint-injected. Any images of what it looks like unpainted?
-
Is Transformers on-topic here?

Here's my guess: Drakken transforms into a knights in armor Dragon type. -
Holy smokes!
-
Nice to see some Macross kits get done. Both look great. Anything with a U.N. Spacey decal makes my heart go thump.

Must be the Macross Podcast Speaker crew.

That is interesting market feedback. It means there are slower moving items in the retail side in Japan. But the way the business works is that Bandai allocates its stock between Japan retailers, Asia retailers, online shops, and major international licensers (like Bluefin and similar outfits around the world). Once the allocation is done, the product is off of Bandai's hands. Any slow sellers are basically the problem of the retail groups. The allocations are not always ideal in the mind of these various retail groups, because they have to buy the good with the bad in most cases. For a small manufacturer like Evolution, a slow seller can kill their business, but a giant machine like Bandai has more leverage. That does not mean Bandai can keep churning out slow sellers, it just means they have more time and market power.
