Believe it or not the regult was everywhere for weeks because Japanese collectors apparently don't have the time, money or space to army build.

Keep your preorder. Mainstream stores will sell out of this pretty fast and by feb you're only going to find it in the 2nd-hand or collector shops in Akiba and they'll be marked up for sure. Only the shelf warmers stay around for long

With the wave pricing model you could probably pick up a bandai Hi-metal for about the same price, no joke

Looking at $1200 USD + just for Delta 1-5 + that keith 262. So many hobbies, so little money :0

Oooh, hurts too much to laugh.... so sad at the last Major ACE Combat title

Why does everyone like do the DYRL version first?

Wow the gerwalk leg joint is way better than on the Model kits that use the VF-19 advanced joint type. I'll be in for one or two. Luckily I'm on night shift so I'll be up anyways hehehehe

When you see it on the tiny PS Vita Screen It'll look just fine imho
-
So..there's nothing special about the Run-PIka edition other than extra songs to set at BGM when playing? Like 30 bucks for 30 more tracks that are game-size and only available on your vita..... That's a pretty weak Limited Edition...

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 16 - READ 1st POST
Duymon replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Who cares about realism? We have big honking transforming robots fighting aliens with magical fold wave powers. Me like Robots. Me like planes. Planes turning to Robots is cool. Let's not even get into realism when like half the planes in Macross don't even have enough control surfaces to fly right without massive amounts of thrust vectoring (I'm lookin at you VF-1!) -
I wish the pin-point barriers were absent and instead they had some freaking missiles. Like nothing comes with missiles. The only reason I have an arsenal of missiles is my crazy vf-171 collection.

Mobile version would be trash without blue-tooth controller support. Vita does appear to have a strong following in Japan still due to the plethora of creepy moe dating games and whatnot. I swear last time I was in Akiba earlier this year 80% of the Vita games section was Dating sims and other Moe games :0
-
WOO HOO My Vita has a reason to Liiiiiiiive...I mean.. other than god eater, God eater 2, phantasy star Nova, Phantasy Star online 2...... And... vita graphics aren't awful. They actually have some pretty nice looking games from time to time.

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 16 - READ 1st POST
Duymon replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
I think I'm gonna have to accept that Mac Delta just isn't my cup of tea. 16 episodes in and I still feel there are too many characters and too little scree time to really hey more than cusrsory backstory into the characters and whatnot. The music doesn't really strike a tune for me like Yoko Kanno's music did. I'm not saying it's bad, just saying it's not the type of music I like. At least the robots are cool; if only I could just see more of them hehehehe I honestly think Delta is like..Macross done on the cheap. Mac Frontier kinda got all the bells and whistles since it was the first TV mac series in 12 years, came on the 25th anniversary and also had pre-leman shock funding levels. Also Delta feels a lot more like all the other superficial anime that's mainstream now in Japan and I don't really think it's Bandai or Kawamori's fault since they need to cater to a certain age group whose tastes are continually diverging from the older crowd. If Only Macross could get big enough that one day they could be like Gundam and have AC and UC. AC for all the new weird stuff and UC for the "omg the horror of war I'll solve it by killing everyone" crowd. -
Dude it looks awesome. For a moment before clicking I thought it was literally gonna be a cringe-inducing "will it blend" video
-
I wonder how Bandai will do all the locks on the same spots as the 1/72 model. Surely they will not have a removable front gear so the landing gear lock of the model is out...i hope....lol

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 14 - READ 1st POST
Duymon replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
I can understand about 85% of the raw which is pretty much good enough to understand each ep. I would hate to have to transcribe each episode, translate and edit the video with perfect timing. It's almost as much as a full-time job. Unless people are paying for these FANsubs they really can't complain about delays. -
Looks like solid work. I am curious, are the decals also sort of magazine-print dotty up close as well? I swear Bandai is the only company I know that makes dot-printy decal sheets that look really meh. I would seriously pay the extra 5-10 bucks for a cartograph decal sheet :0

Make sure to watch until after the credits :0 I think the recap-opening style is sorta..... blagh. -
Also the legs aren't flush on the sides like they are on the 30 which accounts for a little gappiness, especially when you look at the legs' ourterpanels and how they line up with the wings. I guess it was way easier on the 30 cuz the legs had much simpler (and straight) geometry
-
Wow that NY price was nice, but I already snagged one from HLJ so I didn't really care to check other sites lol
-
Part of me is like " ooooh, I really want to get these!" But then the other part of me says "pay 20 bucks more and get a Naked Hi-metal" I also still have the entire Series 1 and 2 of the 1/144 chara works valks O_o

I picked up the models because the V1's were god awful. I then picked up the Renewals later on because had the aesthetics of the models with the locking and playability of toys. Doing a side by side the renwals have like 90% or more of the same paneling detail as the models so if you really wanted to you could really make a renewal look pretty nice. The fighter and gerwalk modes blow the model out of the water in terms of looks and stability. The Battroid is prolly a close tie. You also don't need adapter pieces for gunpods (cept on the RVF-25) or separate hands to facilitate a perfect transformation either. You get what you pay for considering retail renewal is over 3x the price of the models.

REALLY? Paint guns? Bruh......... F that. If It was a figure set or something it'd be a totally different story
