    There's no reason to be concerned, it's been less than a month and most boats from Asia take longer than that. You probably have a few more weeks to go. BBTS had amazing customer service, which may come in handy with this release, but they get their items by boat so it takes a while.

    Hi-Metal R

    jenius replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    I had a B level item from them come yellowed and panel lined so I'm a little weary of that grade now! I'm sure that was an exception though.

    Whose got the cockpit line art to show us what it should look like?

    TLJ did develop Finn... he goes from a coward to potential hero (though Rose prevents him from becoming a martyr... which ultimately was kind of a shame). In defense of TFA being a mystery box, that's kind of what you want from a first leg of a trilogy. I think TFA could have been a really good start if they didn't do Starkiller Base and instead introduced the idea of weaponized hyperspeed. "Oh nos! They're taking moth-balled Star Destroyers and having them go hyperspeed into Republic military installations!" Then you want the second leg to answers minor questions and tease the bigger ones, then you want the third one to wrap it all up. JJ was supposed to be out after the first one so it was a solid strategy to let him create the mysteries. The problem is they hired a second director who was like "f*ck mystery" so that didn't really pan out. They need to reboot ALL of Star Wars. Start with a new Episode 1 where ObiWan gets a Padwan named Anakin instead of doing childhood Anakin and show the Clone Wars. Have Anakin go dark side so that he can help end the war. Then do the original trilogy again but with ONE death star that gets blown up in the sixth movie. Then redo the third trilogy with a coherent story.

    My friend in Japan says he received my replacement legs and will be shipping them my way soon. Since I have to put the new legs on, I might as well shoot a video while I do it! Of course, I'll also be doing a full review and a transformation guide so me and the SV-51 have a date with some real quality time coming up... probably some time in January.

    I think the prequels split the fan base pretty well but ten plus years and some fun cartoons later, people were ready for more. It will likely be the same with these and various Disney Plus shows.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    jenius replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    It feels that way... but aren't we still expecting a Macross Delta Movie Part 2 or something?

    See, that's what happens when I respond without clicking the URLs.

    Doesn't the 10% off just get replaced by the 10% sales tax?

    The only reason it opens, it seems, is to switch out the marker on the side of the engine.

    I didn't know it was even happening.....

    It needs to be someone in Japan as this product doesn't have a US license. If anyone in Japan is noticing the issue, you should definitely send them a note. They might do something for the Yellow releases... for the other releases it's still good to let them know so they can have a sense for how wide spread it is. I don't have my toy in front of me, is this even a part that could be replaced or would it take significant work?

    What's broken?

    They send out an email right before it arrives to let you know they're expecting it soon. If you haven't gotten the email yet, then you're still more than a week away.

    Like $220.

    Buy both to solve the small Shogo on the Arcadia issue. This one was inspired by your previous efforts with the Yamato Shogo.

    I'll keep with the theme!

    I think it's important to remember that the arms flopping around make that transformation look much more fiddly. I will definitely be removing them and reinstalling them for any future transformations but I know if I did a video of my doing that people would ask me about leaving the arms on so I figured it was more prudent this way.
  20. jenius
    Still working on the full review but for anyone who wants a video to help them through putting the arms on or transforming to Maneuver Craft mode, here you go!

    Bye Yamcadia?

    jenius replied to Foblander's topic in Toys

    It's funny, it looks like KitzConcept is incorporating Bandai DX elements into their 1/72 scale toys so one really has to wonder why Bandia went 1/48 instead of 1/60. Clearly 1/60 would have been feasible, probably with very little change from the 1/48 toys. That's probably the only thing that really irritates me about the DX. at 1/35 it could have been an amazing centerpiece that incorporates all the elements we still want integrated into the toy (albeit at a heftier price tab) and at 1/60 it would have not had to be too different from what this is, been a bit cheaper, and would have fit into all of our collections. I wonder if this came down to a licensing thing where BW was like "Arcadia has a 1/60 line of toys, we would prefer you NOT use the same scale." I imagine Bandai can tell BW what they will and won't do but the suggestion might have been enough for them to convince themselves that 1/48 was better for more reasons.

    Put a tube in the slot and you can have an anti-smoking commercial. I originally read this as "Got my '5' today" and thought someone had bought 5 VF-1S Hikaru toys...

    It's a handsome box
  24. jenius
    They should make a Gloval and bridge bunny set then sell a bridge diorama... Yeah, the three Zentraedi spies are probably more likely (meaning it will never happen).

    So I haven't been looking for leaks but my theory, based on that last clip, is that the Emperor is not back in this movie. It's another red herring. It's going to be some other Sith baddy, perhaps a Sith that has been name-dropped in the lore. In the clip the voice changes from Snoke, to Vader, to the Emperor, and my guess is it keeps changing...
