Ah yes, be sure to be looking for the Bandai VF-79A in a few days...
-
Man, I just tried surfing a couple of the sites and they're already slower than a snail. My hopes of actually buying anything are very slim. I can see it now... F5... spin... spin... spin... spin... sold out.
-
Yep, because they were reusing the first VF-1J Hikaru toys which had the problem.
-
I don't think 'pre-yellowing" is the right way to put it. They took old stock VF-1J Hikaru toys and put a brand new head on them. The new head was cast slightly whiter than the previous head. I don't think it was a case of yellowing but more like if you go to the paint store and get two cans of the same paint, they're not always 100% the same.

That was on purpose. I didn't want people complaining that I blindsided them with an NSFW video and as a bonus it might get more reviews.

It looks like YOTG Soundwave is shipping now. Do we think this will end up at TRU since it looks like it has the new MP packaging? -
When a lady says "Hey, want to put my boobs on the Internet?" it seems like the only sensible answer is "yes." It was just some random fun, probably won't happen again. She was just hanging out with me as I transformed the toy for review movie making purposes.
-
It most likely means they're not shipping through those dates.

Ugh, I just realized that MP-10EVA has been out for a while but that TFSource appears to just not have gotten any supply. OOPS! Crap... looks like I'll have to go after them for a refund. Sucks too because I went with them as they were the most reputable option at the time and they appear to be the only retailer screwing people. Man, I gotta get a different hobby. -
So I did get this for xmas. Inside the box there are lots of figures waiting to get built... and then there was a bag of seemingly more figures. It looks like I can make one a day for a year and still not finish.

I thought the Hellcat was in the $60K theoretical, $70K in most likely configurations ballpark.

It would be brilliant for Arcadia if they never planned to do business with BigWest again.

Agreed. Most adult collectors don't want small scale stuff anyway so they're immediately ruling out a large swath of the collecting market. Even if they had integrated landing gears and heat shields (which, depending on execution could make them arguably better than the Yammy V2) many collectors would still prefer the incredibly similar but larger Yammy/Arcadia offerings. For the VF-1 market, there's no game changers until we see something in at least 1/72 but more likely 1/60 territory, be it an Arcadia V3 or Bandai DX and assuming there are several improvements to the existing V2 king..

If you have a V2 Rodimus you should just sell it to me and let me worry about the knees. Thanks - -
Relative to what? Let's say Arcadia did come back with a 'decent' MSRP on a VF-1 toy, are the two VF-1 releases a year really going to overshadow anything? I still love my V2 VF-1 toys and they absolutely did crush the Hi-Metal line originally by being thrown in bargain bins for nearly the same price as the brand new Hi-Metal toys... but that ship has sailed. Arcadia isn't going to pump out VF-1 toys and what they do make is going to cost 40% more than MSRP of Yamato products... and the Yamato products cost the same as the Hi-Metal toys when they were 40% off... which isn't going to happen on anything except ugly non-canon stuff. I'm still hoping this is all just prelude to a DX toy but in the meantime... Arcadia is on life support and won't be doing any game changing for a while.
-
Lolz... Arcadia reducing MSRP...
-
If I can stream it I may subject my in-laws tonight and call it a civic duty.
-
Don't they give you a spacer just in case that happens? Or you could use the stand.

Where is my EVA prime? -
I might buy the one new one to look for differences.
-
Man, it seemed like they had the color figured out... now I'm not so sure.
-
My price prediction was pretty darn close!
-
These are different from the SDCC items as these have articulation. Those gashapon toys were supposed to be out already... Wonder what happened to them.
-
You guys inow 30 years passed right? It's change for the sake of the audience expects change. Arguing the merits of the change of a vehicle designed to look cool and exist in fantasy is silly.

My review is coming soon...
