New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
Cowboy17 replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
I don't know anything about Macross the First other than its a retelling of SDF Macross. I have no idea if its good or not. Whatever we get though, we can be sure it won't be competently animated. Satelight sucks. -
New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
Cowboy17 replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
I was thinking that "Superdimension" project might wind up being a Macross: The First animation -
Im not surprised. I dont know about now, but back in the day (very late 90s/early 00s) HLJ cultivated a lot of good will in the modeler/anime hobby communities by engaging customers on newsgroups, forums, by email, etc etc. I had several conversations with Scott T Hards myself back in the RAAM (rec.arts.anime.modeler) days. Such things have not been forgotten, and HLJ has a legion of fans as a result that will go to bat for them. There used to be several MW posters from RAAM days that probably remember this as well, although I havent seen their nicks in years i'd like to think they are still lurking somewhere.

HM-R, 1/60 4G, DYRL 1A, TV-1A, Arc YF-19, VF-0S

PM sent Crap, once again too slow -
Pass on the 31s, save, and get the best DX Chogokin instead - the VF-19 Advance.
-
saburo what sort of lens do you use for those shots?
-
Am kinda glad I cancelled my preorder. I'm REALLY not digging that canopy.
-
HLJ. 19 Advance off ebay and v2 Elintseeker off the FST forum.
-
I ended up cancelling my 31J. I just picked up two valks today, both of which i'd rather have over the 31J any day of the week. Spending too much money lately on this stuff, had to put a stop to it somewhere and the 31J didn't make the cut. I can always get one of the others later I guess.

Man, this thing looks like it will be impossible to display in battroid without a stand

VF-11B, YF-30, VF-19 Advance, VF1J Armored Valkyrie and more!
Cowboy17 replied to cdidio's topic in For Sale & Trade
Did you mean v1 on that armored valk? because that's a v1 box. -
i mean, it is a really crappy toy that no one wants thanks to a decade and a half of yamato and arcadia and bandai releases, but i figured it was worth 5 bucks. And it never got above 3.25!
-
$3.25 on ebay!
-
Just got a DX Chogokin VF-25A in. Second DX Chogokin after that surprise yf-29/yf-30 shipment at HLJ the other week. I really love these. Way more than the yamato/arcadia toys. Was only about 11k yen or so at Jungle.

Item of interest spotted on JUNGLE
Cowboy17 replied to no3Ljm's topic in Where to Buy Macross, Auctions & Dealers Specials
What is the shipping generally via EMS on a v2 valk from Jungle? Trying to figure out how much I should be looking at...they have several things I want at good prices. Edit: Eh, ended up taking the plunge on a vf-25a. only 11000-ish yen. DIdn't want to pass that up. JUNGLE seems pretty awesome. -
rant: ebay sellers who put up auctions with a bin, and then a reserve price that is equal to the bin. there's a vf-25 renewal up on the bay right now that I have high-bidded all the way up to a shade under the BIN, and it STILL hasn't hit the reserve price. What a waste of time. If you want to sell something for 220, then just put a BIN on there and call it a day instead of wasting bidder's time (and yours, as it would have no doubt sold faster had all us bidders not sat here and checked day after day, hoping to finally get it up over the reserve). What a jerk. I hope that seller isn't a MWer.
-
non vf-1 valks probably dont sell as well. i think that if they do stray away from vf-1's, it'll be to the yf-19 and -21
-
positive for Jenius. Just received a CF v2 from him that looks brand new except for the shoulder, of course

I have a lot of experience with these stands. for something heavy like the Super valks (or ZZ Robot Damashiis, etc etc) you have to get the extension arm in JUST THE RIGHT position to balance all the weight, otherwise it will collapse. Also, those extension tubes stress REALLY easy where they connect to the pegs and crack. When that happens they get loose on the peg and are completely useless. I had a RD Sinanju take a shelf-dive because of that.
-
Finally put my max up on a stand (not using that ridiculous packed-in stand)
-
i would just leave it. Any attempt to remove it will likely end up blemishing the area around it.
-
Yeah, both pop off on mine as well. Sigh

GuP is the best. The movie is hitting theatres here in the US now (though dub only)
