    Unfortunately, the "32k" yen pricing for the Armored-VF1J DX only seems to be avaialble for the local japanese market. I saw a couple that was avaialbe on their japanese-site, but not-available when I switched to their english-site. Same japanese-market-only shenanigans seems to be similarly happening on Ami and Amzn-jp. Oh, well. At any rate, how's the valk on the Armored-VF1J combo? Does it have the Max-1A improvements wrt the nosecone? Does it still have misaligned wings? Or is it some qc-rejects that Bandai's trying to move?

    Well, Mao was 11 in Zero and mostly likely 12 during SW-1. Max was 16 (TV) and 18 (DYRL) during SW-1...

    Weird. Mao was a very old lady in Frontier. Max in this upcoming Delta movie is, on the other hand, ... 🤔

    /me scratches head I'm not really sure what you're trying to argue with. You said Bandai costs less than the Yamato. Cost less exactly to who and how? Bandai? Us? Scalping makes the cost of acquiring the DX alot more than what we experienced wihen most of us acquired the old Yammie many mahy yeara ago. Not sure where "Bandai has to drop their prices or add more features" is coming from. Also, Yamato didn't go bankrupt when the 1/48 was out and about. I got my yammie GBP about when it was released many years ago around way less than $100 shipped back then from hlj. Others prolly got it even cheaper from Ami or AE or even from Kevin's old Valk-Exchange shop. If you paid more for the Yammie, 1/48 GBP than the DX then that just meant you bought your yammie many years after it was released and most possibly at the ludicrous secondary-market pricing. That means it's not really comparable and not a fair assessment.

    Maybe at msrp levels, but not quite really I think. Most of us here got the old Yammie 1/48 GBP for quiite alot less than the MSRP back then almost 20 years ago? I don't think anybody here paid msrp or above when it got released. Availability and shipping costs was very easy compared to the DX. Contrast with the DX acquisition now. Lucky to get it at MSRP (or even at all!), but I reckon most that got it are paying either at above-MSRP. Maybe even at ludicrous scalper-pricings. As per recent DX (meaning, after Max-1A), it wasn't even that readily available at the usual import shops. Then you get the still-high pandemic shipping-fees nowadays.

    Not quite. Bandai seems the only toy-company that regularly uses strict artificial scarcity on almost all their popular lines (Metal Builds, SOCs, SHFs, etc.) and licenses (Gundam, Mazinger, EVA, Macross, etc, etc). Especially when a particular item(s) is/are in heavy demand. On the flip-side, they'll almost always totally glut their market with several Mazinger variations...

    Yeah. I don't think "shelf warmer" can be applied to the DX Roy at all. Shelf-Warmer usually indicates item is still readily available in regular import shops like Ami or HobbySearch or HLJ as "new". DX-Roy just ain't available as "new" from the regular import shops right now, so it ain't actually shelf-warming per se. As far as we know, it seems only the secondary-market have some sort of DX-Roy glut.

    Not just a rectal-thermo, but it is so very multi-purpose, indeed... 😝 pic courtesy of flapjack over at tfw-forum....

    Welp! Per TD thread and Dengeki Hobby site, seems RGM-79(G) has been officially revealed today at Nations Tokyo event: https://bbs.toysdaily.com/thread-466956-1-1.html more pics at https://hobby.dengeki.com/event/1314222/ sample:

    The way Bandai's done their official promo pics and page for it, might as well now call it VF-31ASS instead... 😝 .

    saw this recently from t-rex's tweet: https://twitter.com/t_features/status/1419973048417980416 from the video: Actually, they got some some other RDs and diorama earlier in the video... add/edit: btw, not sure if Bandai made a silent update on their options-page, but I don't remember spotting it before... https://tamashii.jp/item/13693/

    😝 I tell yah. Reckon Bandai took more than a decade to properly respond to Yamato's legendary fold-dildo accessory with this rectal thermometer for the VF-31AX. At least, the yammie fold-dildo has a nifty disco-lightiing gimmick... 🥳

    I still don't trust ThreeZero's Scopedogs. I rather buy more from Artstorm/B2Five than buy any from ThreeZero. Are you planning of buying them again despite the risks of them breaking on you again? Were you even able to get all your previously broken ones replaced by them and/or by your vendor?
  20. treatment
    Yup. Heck! The arm is not even removable for anime-accuracy! 😛

    Nope. I think he just misread the VF-19 joke in the other thread..

    B2Five's Marshy and Snappy delayed again (at least from amz-jp):

    Not quite. The faux-cockpit chest-cover can be adjusted more than when it was fresh out of the box.

    hmm. I finally put MP-52 back to jet-mode and discovered a surprise: Seems like he's actually got more ground clearance now than when I first got him out of the box some time ago.: 😄

    Bruticus pissy not being MP yet like StarCream v2.0... 🤣
