    Bandai DX VF-31

    Anything is possible but barring new animation, it seems unlikely.

    I just shipped my first box by boat... very curious to see how long that will take. My missile Regult set appears set to get delivered today after entering customs 1/17... a bit long. Hopefully the box isn't totally destroyed... long delays often mean the package got damaged and they couldnt' figure out how to deliver it. Fingers crossed that's not the case. I caved and bought a second brownie and missile set...
  3. Arcadia did reissue the YF19 once but there's no difference between the first and second release.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Exclusives can only be purchased through the Tamashii webshop which is for Japanese residents only. The preorder stays open for a while and several stores act as proxies to let us folks outside Japan make an order at a modest mark-up. Regular releases are at many stores and usually at discounts below MSRP but it's a complete free for all... you'll get the item cheaper but you're gonna have to be quick.
  5. I don't think I've gotten far enough in xabungle to know what that is.
  6. 100% agree, I'd definitely take this over the Prime 1 any day.
  7. On the plus side, there is some pretty significant remolding there. The intakes, chest, waist, hands, and shoulders are all reshaped. Still too bad they kept the swing out door above the right shoulder... looks so goofy.
  8. Cool, thanks for the link. Looks like lots of cool stuff.
  9. Got one, thanks.
  10. I love me some mech battles, and Zero scratches that itch, but I get the hate for it. First, it dove headfirst into the "sufficiently advanced technology seems like magic" element that was also used to justify the Sailor Moon act of Delta (although there are certainly elements of Plus and Seven that went there also). Remember, there's a bunch of flying rocks and sorcerer stuff in Zero that was initially a big WTF moment for a lot of fans (particularly fans that were never thrilled with Mac7 who thought they were getting a gritty realistic show or fans that still identified more with Robotech). The story also jumps around... I think I actively searched for the episode between 4 and 5 only to realize it didn't exist. Shin Kudo was also like an Isamu Dyson without charisma. I'll give this to Delta, Hayate isn't nearly as unlikable as some of the other male leads in Macross.
  11. Does anyone happen to have a clean, fairly high resolution photo of a Yamato 1/3000 SDF-1 assembly kit box they could send me? I'm hoping to find one that is pretty straight on. I can fix color or whatever, just need a clear image that's not blurry. If you got one, please either just post it here or shoot me a PM. Thanks!

    No, I'm on my phone right now but I have some comparison pics of those toys and it's a clearly different gray.
  13. I gotta say, this scheme has grown on me. I'll buy one.

    That there is an example of viewer engagement; someone asked me to try it in the release schedule post and it made me curious what it would look like.
  15. Seems like a pretty quiet Wonderfest.
  16. It's too bad they didn't delete the flip over shoulder piece... They're definitely competing with decade old toys rather than trying to set a new bar.

    Thanks for posting that! I also just updated the article on anymoon for anyone who wants to take a meander through all things VF-1 HMR including the VE-1.
  18. I have listened to 3/4 if the podcast while I edit photos for my site, it's good stuff, definitely recommended listening if you don't mind spoilers.

    Well at least you have hope, I'm fairly certain my second regult set is lost in shipment.... Started a case last week and no word on that either.
  20. Seems like you would need a tripod to display it, I wonder if you can build it with the feet made for standing.
  21. So it looks like this has been released? https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u183940775
  22. I missed this earlier... might be a typo on the measurement of the VF-0.... unfortunately I probably won't have another VF-0 toy in battroid mode until the PF comes out to double-check. I know I have the VF-0 listed as 25CM in other places which would still put it a bit smaller than the 31. I'll have the 31 out to double check that measurement when the Kairos is released.
