  1. What if it's a 1/48 V2? I still dream of such a thing. That line wouldn't need to be complete but if it had the production quality of today's Yamato offerings plus more bells and whistles, more points of articulation, etc... anyway, if they went that route I'd hope they'd give us the original Mac toys before anything Macross the First.

    DX VF-25G

    Yeah, and I got my VF-25S DX renewal preorder in a couple weeks before release but I wouldn't go recommending that approach here either. I hope this all ends up being hysterics again but still, I suspect some people are going to end up paying more than $227 shipped especially with 14,000 Yen right now being about $180.

    DX VF-25G

    That didn't really happen with the VF-171 so that seems like a bit of a gamble.

    DX VF-25G

    I don't understand why Bandai hasn't yanked the MSRP way up on these things. If demand greatly exceeds the supply you're going to bring to the table, any sensible business person would yank the price up through the roof to drop demand down. Granted, Michael won't sell as well as a Ozma or Alto but seeing what's been happening you'd think they'd at least bump the MSRP up from 14,000 to 16,000 or something. Bizarre.
  5. I'm hoping to start having some VOTOMS reviews up on anymoon.com in the next few months. Here's a pic of a Takara DMZ Meliqua (THM exclusive):

    WTF iShop2go!!

    Isn't this the place that sold the VF-171 before any other store and then sold another 200 (number is hopefully hyperbole) after every reputable dealer closed their preorders after selling like 7 units? I suspect many people are about to feel a very similar burn.
  7. I'm just sayin' if they slapped that scheme on the existing toy I'd buy it.
  8. I'd buy that repaint.
  9. What if alien is just amovie version of what happened like dyrl?
  10. It'll go great with your Hi-Metal toys!
  11. I would like to see an Alpha design that takes the existing idea and just rounds everything out (especially the underside). I'm not sure I'd love the result but I'd like to see it.
  12. It's not cancelled, it's now going to be an HDP kit and cost $300. Yes, I'm joking.
  13. My wife is happy with hers, she loves her moon roof. 2010 model bought in 10/2009 and so far no issues.
  14. I think he ia talking about doing an A-stance in battroid.
  15. If anyone has a 1/12 turbo custom votoms toy and wants a renewal ozma i can help.
  16. So did the Boeing X-32 lose the JSF contest to the Lockheed X-35 because the Lockheed looked way more conventional? I watched a similar video on the X-32 and it kind of left you with the same impression. Except, in that video, they also gave you the impression the X-32 would have been cheaper than the Lockheed vehicle. You'd think at some point the military would put its foot down about cost over-runs.
  17. That's gi-normous!
  18. Count me in with the group that thinks it's bad... and i'm a very easy judge of anime. It eventually grew on me a little but i never thought of it as 'good' for a moment.
  19. I called my wife over and said "Honey, how cool is this guy? He can make the toys he always wanted." She laughed at me and patted me on the head... but I still think it's super cool.
  20. Look at the dates. Its an announcement that a 1/60 version of the gbp is coming. The 1/48 must just have been an eye catch.

    HI METAL LOVE THREAD

    More posable but immaterially so and the pilots are fixed.
  22. He says that, almost word for word, at 7:24. I'm not judging his body of work but he's making some leaps for sure in this video. I don't mean to sidetrack the conversation from Prometheus though.
  23. Well yeah, I'll probably get both. But if another variant of the 171 drops at the same time as the VF-4 there's gonna be a lot of people making tough decisions... unless we all get this first release of the 171 and decide it's not all it's cracked up to be. As gorgeous as the 171 looks so far, I'm still more excited about the prospects of the VF-4.
  24. Sure, we've already seen people having to make decisions in the past between the V2 DX toys and Yamato's recent toys. The competition will lead to some people choosing a DX toy over the Yamato toy (and vice versa) at some point. Competition is good though, it looks like both manufacturers are really stepping it up. I hope my preorder on that 171 comes through!
