  1. I like to think that Arcadia's gonna do a silent release of their VT-1 PF as a followup to their VE-1 PF. It'll be much more acceptable than their expensive SV-51.
  2. I like to get this Strike Hikaru. I'm not that sure if I still want to compete against the scalpers during PO nights anymore for a naked valk like it. I prolly will compete more if the Strike-FPs (alongside missiles) are included in one single package with it like the DX-YF19.
  3. Yeah. Mine's at already the warehouse when I checked tracking this morning, but holiday rules. Tomorrow delivery is expected and fine with me. Just wish my Su-34 will get delivered along with it instead of Wed.
  4. I don't have any of the Wave kits so I'm in the dark as you regarding them.
  5. too lazy to take pics myself, but here's an old classic pic from some fan regarding the various scaling of the available 'Dogs back then:
  6. Could you show us a picture(s) of the "loose hips" on your VF-1v2? Maybe something else got jacked in that part that the nail-polish thing cannot address. I'm interested since none of my yammie-v2s has any looseness. Better to really see what you're specifically talking about to prevent similar things on ours.
  7. Excellent collection. Hope you do find some other reasonable shops to import your ACs if the Manda-shops don't work out. Also, iirc, I think there were a couple or so other VOTOMS-fans/collectors based in Oz who will have better information than me on where to get stuff into Oz. Just can't remember their nicknames anymore.
  8. Oh you're in Oz. Yeah. You guys got some new restrictive laws and stuff about imports that the Mandarake shops most likely don't want to deal with anymore. I think Sahra had a 2k-yen Actic Gear Brutish Dog recently, too. It's a bummer. I think Ami-ami is possibly the only shop that will still ship these particular LRS kits to you, albeit very very expensively most likely.
  9. Are you in the US or elsewhere? It may depend on which country they can ship to. fwiw, I'm in the US so the kits are usually shipped via EMS or DHL only, and gets really pricey quickly. Only the Sahra store gives out shipping-fees cost before actually placing your order. The others usually don't and/or only after you actually placed the order. At any rate, here's the 8k-yen from the Sapporo store: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1112217209&lang=en There's another LRS at the Complex store for 9k-yen. add/edit: Sahra, Shibuya, and Kokura stores has the recent Sansa Red Shoulder for 10k-yen: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/DetailPage/item?itemCode=1097260618&lang=en add/edit2: Here are ami's links (they're a bit more pricey since they add tokyo-tax on their items) : LRS with turbo-sack pack: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-4125-R LRS without the turbo-sack pack: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-4156-R Sansa Red Shoulder: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-4938-R Sansa Red Shoulder with bonus clear-file: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-4678-R and they even have the Space Dog kit: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-4576-R
  10. What do you mean? I have the 1/20 LRS Turbo Custom. Got it from Mandarake years ago. Yeah. Shipping to the US is a bitch for it. Think it was 5200yen or so when I got it. As such, it's usually offered at ami and mandarake in opened/slight-box-damage condition. I just saw both the LRS TC and the recent Sansa Red Shoulder TC over there right now at both sites. Fwiw, think Bandai cheaped out by making the turbo-heels not wheels on the TC. Also, the feet spikes are solid single mould part as well. Quite unlike the separate-pieces/movable spikes of the regular non-turbo 'dogs.
  11. Why/what for is this feature? Is it supposed to make it rotate to a side position or what?
  12. You might want to check if those dvd's are still playable. I've had some of my old dvd's (anime and otherwise) giving me playback issues for whatever reason nowadays.
  13. yup. https://www.amazon.com/dp/6317849846/ 7/23 stupidly shocking expensive po-pricing at US$60??? it should go down in pricing. At any rate, let's see. I do hope these are the native bluray versions instead of the yet-another-sd-versions. 9 episodes should be: -- six for Phantom Arc -- one each for Case:Irvine, Votoms Finder and "Chirico's Return" <-- gotta be the "Alone Again" ova. -- still no Pailsen Files Movie nor Mellow Link. WTF, MaidenJapan???!!!

    Hi-Metal R

    The Sylvie seemed to have sold fine and still holds its initial-pricing in value. In contrast, the Nexx Hibiki didn't do so well and is the one shelf-warming right now. Maybe it would've sold better and on par with Sylvie if only Bandai released it with the actual Nexx pilot...
  15. Seems that only the Pailsen Files movie have had a blu-ray release from the PF-series.
  16. Yeah. Not sure if there's really any truth in that rather persistent rumor. Maybe only Mellow Link's masters really got lost in a fire or something. Regardless and despite being SD-dumps, "Last Red Shoulder" and "Origin of Ambition" video-qualites seems to hold up and actually still looks good to be watching and stuff. Even Big Battle's video-quality is ok, tho the video-quality looks more similar to a cleaned-up TV episode. Unfortunately, both Shining Heresy and Pailsen Files are where the low SD video-quality shows up and becomes really noticable. Rather ironic since these two were the more recent titles than the 80's OVAs above. We'll see if Maiden Japan will license and release the rest of the later VOTOMS anime. "Alone Again", "Phantom Arc", "Votoms Finder", and "Case:Irvine" definitely have had native Blu-Ray releases in Japan.
  17. Nope. All look like SD-dumps from original/old masters. Were the japanese-versions ever remastered? On the good side, seems like they're at least using Nadelman's translations per the english-credits.
  18. fyi. Just got VOTOMS-OVA Blu-ray dekivered today and here is the menu-content: edit/add: As you can tell, it does not contain: -- Pailsen Files Movie -- Alone Again ova -- Phantom Arc ova -- MellowLink ova (non-chirico/side-story) -- Case Irvine ova (non-chirico/side-story) -- Votoms Finder ova (non-chirico/side-story) Maybe maiden-japan will do a third bd-release that contain these still-missing titles. Or maybe not...

    Hi-Metal R

    Don't you have the regular Hikaru-1J or CF-1A to swap stand-adapters to try with your VT-1? I've never tried it that way, tho...
  20. could be. amz-jp is listing their release-date as 5/25 now.
  21. Just got this msg from amj: "超時空要塞マクロス 愛・おぼえていますか 1/60 完全変形 VE-1 エリントシーカー Premium Finish" お届け予定日: 2019-06-03 - 2019-06-06

    Hi-Metal R

    Yeah. Mine's quite tight in the same area, too. Think that's why it can't extend out in my previous posted pic. I'm also reluctant to force it for fear of breakage. Also, the right foot on mine is exhibiting the same issue as my VT-1 and Hikaru-1A where it somehow can't bend further back for proper GERWALK mode. Oy vey...
  23. I think the Bandai made the head laser a bit weirdly too long from these pics posted at TD... http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=279440&pid=8088640

    Hi-Metal R

    How did you managed to get the head extended way out the chest/black-collar? Mine can only go so far as below: The head and neck does not extend further than that before dislodging completely.
  25. hmm, dunno. looks like another Arcadia leg waiting to break at the hip-joint. they really should test it rigorously. don't want to see another expensive legless mech after just not even a single transformation from the Zero franchise...
