I've quickly severely overexposed this shot from the BD. but you can kind of already make out the round thrusters on the side-vents (try to open the png in a new tab for full-res): The actual cell for this might possibly have alot more clearer details than shown in the rather "darkened" anime production...

This is currently how much it'll cost to import it to the US as of this posting: The exchange-rate is currently around 158y to 1USD, but the shipping fees seems to have gone way up at amz-jp for this item. 11k-y non-express and about 14k-y express.

Pretty sure there's been alot of it, but it's been years since. I'm too lazy to dig out my Strike-Hikky, but here are some from others that I can still recall: Hacchaka has this static from his 2020 review : https://hacchaka.net/archives/52052122.html Here's MarkH's attempt from his yt-video at 12:39 time-stamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yHcRqCMykg snapshot sample: hope these help you out! add/edit: here's a couple of recent ones from Robolabo's video at 11:05 and 13:17 time-stamps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dojg1jYJSCc snapshot samples:

maybe just a "red" herring, but this detail has been kinda prominent in the teaser

As such, here's Wotafa demonstrating his "own way" of untabbing/disconnecting the peg by pushing it down with his forefinger starting at the 13:14 time-stamp (turn on english-subs for context): snapshots: That is the process that you and Betsuni discovered, right? Or at least, close to it? I know I've both read and watched some fan/fans detailing or at least noticing that particular part some years ago before, but I can't seem to find it anymore right now. Maybe it's in one of the old MWF threads back in the day. Maybe in this very thread itself since this thread has been active since 2005... 😅

Bummer. That's been the bane of Macross collecting since, well, forever, I guess. Neither Arcadia nor Bandai really provide any global support for their toys. Only jp-residents get support. We foreigners may get some occassional courtesy-support like Arcadia's, but your experience seems to have ended even that courtesy. As such, we're all stuck with only respective jp-shop "support", with really only returns/refunds within certain times after purchase-date. If even at all...

The computer and electronics super geek thread
treatment replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Most likely missed it, but is it easier or more convenient or less pricey for you to get that CostCo prebuilt you linked earlier than building one yourself? -
Yeah, I know. It does have a spring in the assembly of it. But it doesn't do any springy-action when you push down to disconnect it. I can only guess that Takatoku engineers figured out that it helps in easier alignment connection and cuts down on structural breakage by isolating it.
-
That's what I did and there is no springy-action that you and Betsuni were talking about. The peg just gets un-tab when you press down on it since you're giving it space to unhook. There is no springy-action, tho. At least, not on my Super-1S. edit: btw, we should be clear that one pushes down the peg area below the trap-door, instead of the trap-door or the backplate itself. Pushing down the trap-door or the backplate itself may just result in tragic breakage...
-
Hmm. Maybe you need to demonstrate it. I took out my old Super and tried it. It only untabs the the clip when I pushed down the backplate, but with no springy action.
-
Yeah. That will be kinda bizarro weird to it take apart for a feature. Got me interested a bit to check out if other reviewers that touched on this easy-to-ignore feature and remembered CDX 2009-review of the 1990 Super Valk did point it out at the 12:13 time-stamp here: and kinda did at the 13:23 time-stamp with the hard push-to-click stuff on the Origins VF-1S back in 2010: Like most everyone else, we just kinda muscle-memory/habit it just like EVA_Unit_4A did without really dwelling on it since it's just so logical... add/edit: here's Peaugh's talking about it back in 2010 at the 6:09 time-stamp: Really assumed @jenius old reviews may have mentioned it in passing as well, but not sure anymore... edit2: Yup. @jenius kinda alluded to it briefly when clicky-unsecuring of the backplate in his review at the 6:29 time-stamp: @Slave IV was talking about the "spring-action" unhooking by pushing down the peg/peg-area instead.
-
You don't have to take it apart. That feature has been long known, but I guess was just easy to forget since the 1/55 TF process is way so simple OOB and stuff. At least this reviewer recently explained it with his retro-review at the 10:40 time-stamp: As such and fwiw as a trivia, Bandai kinda replicated that feature in their DX VF-1 line:

Ouch! That's quite unfortunate turn of events. They do indeed will not ship parts outside of Japan, but they can ship to a jp-address forwarding service like Tenso. That said, something must've really changed either at Arcadia or Tenso or something else for Arcadia Customer Service to not to be able to use a forwarding service anymore. Must be another shipping side-effect of the T-Virus even tho you're in Canada...

beware! AI auto-dubbed!

The worst for me is the HMR VF-19. Gorilla hands and being ridiculously undersized/underscaled against the HMR VF-1/VF-0/VF-2. Plus the seemingly glued-shut leg missile bays of the VF-19P... edit: Even more confoundingly weird, DYRL Max 1A/1S and DYRL Kaki-1A. Other than the stripes/arrows and Jolly Rogers colors, they're the same frickin' valkyrie as the Hikky-1A! Bandai gotta Bandai...
