Modern aircraft aren't made of space carbon or whatever the Macross material is... we have no idea how the Valk would be put together! (but it's a pretty safe bet it wouldn't be rivets)
-
Did you watch my transformation vids? http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=8199 They're the first two vids in the video section.

If it were 1/35 scale, I would expect the swing bar and associated mechanisms to be pretty sturdy... as I would also expect that to be a VERY expensive toy. Bandai has lines above DX so I hope they'll make it happen some day.
-
I think, if done in 1/35 scale, the swing bars could be individual for each intake, like in the anime. They could move the legs to where they need to be. You would then need to open the nosecone and swing out the ball joints on either side. You would open the back of the intakes and attach them to the ball joints and close the back of the intakes to lock them into position. Ideally, you would then be able to disconnect the swing bar, pivot it, and have it act as the side cavity filler.

Love the DeTolf's in the background. Most of us have jammed so much into our cabinets it's hard to enjoy the individual pieces any more.
-
You can't be blamed, Hikaru does try to take Minmay into a hotel on the first date.
-
True, and since those boxes were made by Bandai instead of Takatoku, there's a good bet Toynami won't be trying to use them. That said, I'm not a fan of windows on my boxes... I just prefer my boxes be as small as possible given my storage constraints
-
Spasm or paranoia? I do not think those words mean what you think they mean. I think you were looking for "curiosity" or "excitement".
-
It'd be great if the Tamashii Nations event shows a lot of DX VF-1 schemes to give us an idea of where the line might be going. Maybe they're alternating Hikaru/Max and the next release will be a DYRL VF-1A Max... boy that'd suck.

My review of the Gnu Dou precedes my fanatical measuring days but I did find a comment in the article: GNU Dou is roughly 13.5CM so it’d be like 1/115 scale. The Hi-Metal came in at about 17CM or 1/91 scale.
-
So you're just leaving them in fighter mode huh?
-
One thing I didn't mention in my review but probably will in the next one because it's happened on Max a few times now: When you disconnect the swing bar, the plastic housing that locks it pegs into the back of the nosecone and secures the hip connection... but I've had that peg pop out several times during handling which makes the hip connection sloppy. It's easily remedied, and probably only happens because the hips are so stiff (generally a good thing) but it's a bit annoying. Bandai needed to make that part a twist to lock to solve the unintentional popping apart.

Yeah, FromJapan has been very good to me. I accidentally bought the full insurance once and it worked out BEAUTIFULLY for me. It was the one thing I got from a Japanese auction that was clearly misrepresented and they made everything totally right. And I was just teasing Slave IV. I think there are some people on these boards that use Paypal or Credit Card protections to basically act with ill intent toward retailers (by ditching shipping or service insurance because they know they can screw the retailer if things don't go there way) but there are certainly plenty of other times where retailers drop the ball and try to bully customers.
-
Do you want to pay for insurance? No. Your item didn't arrive. I'm getting my money back from my credit card company. Enjoy that bill I'm stiffing you with. Please don't shop here any more F you you disreputable chumps!

1/48 Regult? Looking for a lawn ornament?
-
Hey guys, I did this vid: Curious what improvements you think I should do the format since I'll probably do something very similar with the DX and Yamato 1/48 when the 1S Hikaru is released.
-
Ha, that was exactly it. I finished Case Irvine and Votoms Finder so I'm ready for Phantom Arc. Jeeze, Votoms Finder was awful.
-
Anyone have OTA 2? I feel like a complete idiot right now. The disc says it has the final 9 OVA episodes. It then lists 4 OVAs: Genei - Phantom Arc Case: Irvine Votoms Finder Chirco's Return I can't find Phantom Arc on the disc though? The menu only shows the other three.. very peculiar.
-
Yeah, convinced me to grab OVA2 which is all stuff I haven't seen before. I watched Chirico's Return last night for the first time... pretty amazing fights/fight choreography but there's just no drama to Chirico after the original series. Good to see the ol' crew back together I suppose but otherwise.... they should have left Chirico and Fyana alone and just placed new shows in the universe like they did with Mellowlink which seems like the only thing we're missing now.
-
You already can order it... It just won't be delivered until December.
-
It was posited when the original was released that Arcadia went with a 'factory' blue and that the toy would look correct with 'salt weathering'. If it's the original blue from the first release, this is exactly what we're getting. I've always been in the camp that they just over-saturated the blue but if the light weathering gets it closer, great. A regular release in a de-saturated blue would also be welcome but seems unlikely..

Probably not... I'm actually debating selling off all my Transformers as I'll be moving soon. I might not be reviewing anything for a good stretch there which would include the time when Unicron hits mailboxes. -
I'm still waiting on my Fewture Garland... It's like 3 years since pre-order.

My brother got it... I'm just going to play with his. -
Looks like they tried to make them as similar to Tamashii stands as possible but these integrate with the FEXT display sets.
