Not likely. There are a great many factories within China. Moving factories is a pain in the butt so I wish them well.

As much as I'm looking forward to this, I am REALLY looking forward to the renewal version five years from now.

Which UN Spacy livery? Got a pic of your inspiration?

Oh I think the marketing people are over the moon with the response.

I'm with you! Attics are no good for storing toys... they cook and yellow quickly. We have members in places like Sweden and members with very nice finished attics so for some folks it's fine!

My work vehicle is electric so I've been adapting to the new way of driving for a little bit now. I think fake engine noise and fake transmission shifts is akin to Henry Ford deciding that the Model T needed to sound like a horse and occasionally blast horse poop smell into the cabin. I love old school hot rods and will always have a soft spot for the notes of certain engines' exhaust but it's a different thing from an electric car. It doesn't make sense to make an electric car feel like something it's not. I hope there's always a vibrant hobbyist scene for combustion motors going forward but I don't see that crowd being swayed by artifice. That said, the whole world is grappling with a transition that many consumers are weary of so I understand and sympathize with manufacturers trying to figure out how to get through this transitional period that will likely last more than a decade. They have to try it all. For manufacturers whose core demographics are more into muscle cars and off-roading (MOPAR), this is very scary times. If I were them, I'd be leaning really hard into hybrid drivetrains right now. Muscle cars with "E-launch" and "E-cruise" that make them faster off the line and get more MPG. Maybe they've been doing that already, I haven't been keeping up. EDIT - I think that Daytona electric car looks really nice.

Oh no! Glad you're okay, that looks like the kind of accident that can hurt.
-
I'm glad they did that because I checked my order and I've moved TWICE since it was placed. Ha!

Thermals make a lot of sense on Gloire.

Well that's certainly one way of getting around the difficulty of removable armor.

I think you typo'ed in there somewhere. A VF-1 is 12.68 meters tall, 1268 cm. 1268/48 = 26.41 cm. A DX toy is roughly 26.5 cm tall so 1/48. Fighter length 14.23 meters long, 1423/48 = 29.64 cm. A DX is roughly 30.5 cm long so a little on the large side but close enough for 1/48.

Yes, if the person stored it in their attic it could yellow in the box. If it's been in a closet, it's probably fine.

I've been using the boat method with no issues other than the long wait. Still not cheap but better.
-
Same!

Thanks! Will do -

My son and I are building a 1/20 Bandai kit now as a "when we have time" activity and I'm pretty impressed (as many of you said I would be). Anybody have a suggestion on what kind of glue I could use on this kit? My son snapped a couple thin rods on the missiles and now he can't connect the red missile tips to them.

Nin Nin likes to be slow and adjust their mark-up -
Looks like my first yoyakunow order. Thanks for the link!
-
The NEED is strong.
-
Looks like they just made the Xmas deals live again after a week of them not being live. \ EDIT - LOL, I'm really looking forward to that GBP that's coming "in 2021!"
-
100%! I don't get Bandai at all. Ozma should have been before Michael and why do I own an Angelbirds DX instead of that scheme in HMR? Why do I have Hayao's DYRL 1A and Max's TV 1A but none of the other squad members in DX? They're totally nuts.
-
Oh I was confused by the comparison of on the previous page! My bad for limited attention. Good to know they skipped the extra wings and made the connection super strong on the pegs. That's a plus!
-
They gave us wings and no way to install them? Bizarre.

Mine is arriving today so I'll get a review up... In a few weeks.
