  1. Not really sure why it's somehow relevant, but yes, yes I know much about designs and stuff. It's part of my day job since I work with artists, marketers, and engineers. I think you're just projecting now on a tangent now, tho. Gluing up a part with moulded details to hide it? What other plausible explanation other than they didn't design the cover properly to secure and detach properly?
  2. Design creep? Bandai's FPs actually have similar albeit somewhat nerfed designs on their FPs like the old Yammies, as they've shown in the TN event DX-Macross annoucement, They then inexplicably glued the leg-FPs together once released years later. That's not really design-creep. Maybe more of a design-failure on their part...
  3. Yeah. Good luck on getting a DX under reasonable (meaning under 20k-yen) pricing. Then the FPs (17k+) and Missile sets (8.5k-yen+). Then figure out the shipping rape for each and/or all of it. It's really a scalpers' market if you didn't get a DX during PO times...

    Hi-Metal R

    Not quite dead yet. Bandai's just prioritizing on making more Seed/Seed Destiny, Wing-KA and Unicorn rerererererenewals...
  5. Late to this party, but I have noticed before that my old Yammie had some pinkish hue sometimes. I took it as just some sort of bounce/reflection of the red-stripes since it is not noticeable most of the time to the naked eye. It was rather prominent on dslr output depending on your whitebalance settings/values.
  6. I reckon it's all about symmetry. Bandai rep got stuck separating one of the FP panels and decided then and there to just damn glue both for, uhmm, symmetry...

  8. not mine, but saw it posted at hobbylog earlier. 1/4k DYRL SDF-1 stuff... https://twitter.com/doro_hige/status/1310176282903080960 snaps from the video:
  9. Yeah. This upcoming Screamer-v2's puny thighs/leg-day skipper, the bulbous underside kibble, the seemingly current diaper mandate, and the reported faux-parts (faux canopy? etc) are making it rather just a bit unappealing to me. Already anticipating the msrp to be north of 37k-yen...
  10. So you're saying you want to wait until Bandai leverls it up with their YF-19 by adding in the stabilizers popping it out on its own when you look at it, the broken antennae out of the box, and the misfitting FPs in fighter-mode?
  11. from both TFW and TD: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/masterpiece-v2-starscream-coming.1196303/page-178#post-18359410 http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=464000&pid=8136030 upcoming new MP Starscream...
  12. Screws? My 200( was it an 00 or an 01 release?) reissues do not have any "screw" on the heatshield. Just all tabs. edit: found this ancient pic: http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/reminator2/HTML/robotech/supervf1s.htm from CDX's review of Origins 1A (2008).. https://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2008/origin_valkyrie_vf1a_super_valkyrie_hikaru_ichijyo_ver other variants of the Origins line (2008) https://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2008/origin_valkyrie_vf1a_super_valkyrie_maximilian_jenius_ver https://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2008/vf1j_valkyrie_origin_valkyrie_hikaru_ichijyo_ver http://www.collectiondx.com/node/3588 Same stuff as the previous reissue. edit2: Here's the cockpit and heatshield of the 1990 Super-1S from CDX: https://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/1990/vf1s_super_valkyrie_roy_focker_special
  13. Gundam shenanigans...
  14. Do they ever show it without the FPs in Akihabara?
  15. meh. netflix or amazon or yt or yet-another-online-streaming-channel/platform-as-rich-as-those-three just might pick VB up if sufficiently interested.
  16. saw this over at TD yesterday as something that maybe some members here might try to do (lolicon? wm_cheng?) if they own a copy... http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=462993&pid=8134436

  18. so this is coming stateside, right? is it VR only? https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B08H8GKVNS/
  19. It's the same VF-1J. However, the armored loadout is special: Hence, the specific grey-goggles instead of the usual white coz armor: snapshot from from my old Animiego dvd (disc-3)...
  20. Sure. Next time, just try watching SDFM and DYRL. It'll provide answers to alot of your own questions and stuff regarding canon and whatnots.
  21. Err, if you'd watched the episode, then you would know that the coloring-mistake was actually the "white". Animators forgot to color it properly due most likely to being rushed and stuff back then...
  22. You need to re-watch SDFM again, then...
  23. Nah. People bought the original Yammie and the original Arcadia releases with the same pic. We got reviews out of the wazoos over the years showing what one gets with the original Yammie and Arcadia versions.
  24. So it ain't meant for those folks who actually preordered this set expecting the grey goggles (since they don't have one) and are now super disappointed that they ain't getting the grey goggles with it?
