    Oh that hit's the spot.

    My box from lunar was perfect.

    It was at MWCon. Looks great indeed. I may be shooting really low here but I'd love to see a VF-0S announcement (using most the parts from the new 0D) sometime in the near future. I suspect though that after the VF-1J+GBP we're going to have a long pause.

    Well the fit of the parts looks fantastic. Now to see if that joint behind the cockpit is sturdy enough to keep things from drooping.

    Sadly, shipping to the US is minimum $55 so it ends up being a $10 savings but I guess it is a huge box so I should have seen that coming.

    Have you ordered from them before? I'm a little nervous with spots new to me.

    If anybody wants a DMZ Rabidly Dog, someone is flooding eBay with loose ones. I'm guessing they got their hands on all the factory rejects or something.
  8. jenius
    Hmm, while it looks like you can buy it... it also looks like it's sold out so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for an eBay grab I guess.

    Was there a YF20?
  10. jenius
    Where'd you get yours from Techno? I'd jump on that price.

    So given the strength of the $ right now, do you think we'll see anyone get a little more aggressive on their MP-10EVA pricing? I mean, the thing is going to retail for about $220 so am I being cheap to think $315 is too much?
  12. jenius
    I don't think I'd care that much if they took a couple liberties with how things connect.

    The Paladin has a new head? I was thinking they just needed to make the lance and change the backpack part so the lance could be held in fighter mode.

    Oh JM 2.0... if only you had been able to live longer!
  15. jenius
    Yes, so far we've only seen something fan made but I have my fingers crossed for a Tamashii announcement!

    I thought the blue would get more gray but it's getting darker. I'm still very on board. i wish I could get the samples... they'd be fun.
  17. jenius
    PM please... Blacklist if you aren't satisfied in the end.

    What's it matter if the toys are the same design or not? I think the point was lost along the way. Anyway, I'm sure we all expect this toy to be the appropriate size also.
  19. jenius
    Do you spend a lot of time defending George Lucas?
  20. jenius
    Ya know, Yamato started doing the YF-19 that Arcadia released because the VF-19Kai and other releases were received so well. Maybe Bandai will give us new Mac7 valks if the DX VF-19Advance is received really well. I know we all are dying for more Fire Valkyrie options.
  21. jenius
    That's some unkind rounding. At 1/60 scale the V2 VF-25 would stand 24.16CM tall. The toy stands 24CM tall... so almost spot on 1/60. Similarly, fighter mode should be 31.2CM long and it pretty much nails it. So it's fair to say with exception of the Monster, the DX scale is 1/60, not 1/65ish.
  22. jenius
    Dare to be stupid!
  23. jenius
    Have you tried a piece of Scotch tape to assist you?
  24. jenius
    Oh you guys pretending like you wouldn't jump on a new VF-1... I have no such delusions. The V2 VF-1 is also six years old now... it's only a matter of time before a new toy trumps it. Also, how sweet would it be to see it animated again? C'mon Kawamori... DO IT! I think you guys might have Bandai a little wrong. It's not so much that they're overly risk averse but more that they're profit-aware. Unlike a Yamato or Arcadia, Bandai chooses not to make something when they choose to make something else. "Do we want to print another Gundam this month or should we spit out a Macross toy?" You could see where this leads to fewer variants with Bandai. It's not that they're so scared of not making money on a less popular variant... they just might think they could make more money selling some other product. At the end of the day the point remains the same, it's very doubtful Bandai would go as nuts with releases as Yamato did... but let's not forget Bandai gave us a lot of those variants first so ti's not inconceivable. I'm going to disagree with you M'Kyuun on the team work theory. Bandai certainly has room at the top to go nuts on a high end product and Bandai is just as capable of paying the design teams Arcadia would use. The best case scenario would be for Bandai to have competition proving that Macross is a healthy enough franchise to go a little nuts and still be profitable. Yamato did that for a while but apparently got a little carried away with it. It's kinda doubtful if Arcadia has even moved the meter. I would love to see Arcadia feel a niche though of high-end made-to-order obscure designs if they can find a way to do that profitably.

    You're making a lot of assumptions though. The 19advance may have been delayed a lot because of Arcadia and Bandai may indeed be upset they didn't get the vf1 license when yamato folded.
