Why do you keep repeating yourself? Got it, you don't like it. You're not adding anything new.

I guess that depends on how many people have plans that include ads. For the people who don't have ads, they need to make sure they have compelling content so they keep their subscriptions so there would be lots of metrics used to figure that out. I don't understand the criticism about SW borrowing from itself or anywhere else, it was always borrowed elements. Your 'didn't like it' vote has been registered though.

I've seen videos of wonder fest opening and it's no joke. I met a Japanese friend at SDCC and I was laughing at how people rushed to get in line and he surprised me by showing me the video and saying Japanese fans have no worries about even trying to look composed as they run to get what they want. It must be very tough for proxies.

That's a lot of ride armor! Thanks for sharing the experience so far.

A bare prototype to show off the metal content. It's tougher to see but it looks like all the joints are metal.

Your Most Recent General Toy Purchase - 2024 Edition
jenius replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Mine is on the way but I'm not expecting it soon. Pretty excited to check it out. -
ABS, PVC, POM, and diecast construction. POM is similar to Nylon so whatever parts those are, won't take paint well. I have no idea how to tell which parts are ABS or PVC vs POM.

Whoa, $100 each? $300+ for the 'deluxe' pack? That's a lot more than I would have expected. For $150 you can get the ThreeZero and have it all in one toy. For $100 you can get the KitzConcept (without the display stand). Given today's exchange rate, you can get a DX for less than $150 also (at MSRP). Hard value proposition there. We also already have the Calibre Wings 1/72 VF-1 models so curious how those will compare. The GERWALK is really the odd man out, not much I want to do with GERWALK that I can't already do with transforming toys.

I'm shocked they didn't go with the name "Super Switch" like the ol' Super Nintendo. I ridiculed the idea of the Switch when it was first announced and ultimately it was the only system I bought of the generation and I loved it. I'll let the dust settle and probably grab one as a gift for the next holiday season.
-
I would live to grab one of those.

Watched it with my son, we thought it was fun. As an adult, I had some qualms but all very minor in the grand scheme. First SW I've watched since Mandalorian.

I think that was the first toy I ever purchased with a box so big it made me angry.

I wonder if the Save and the other members that were previously involved in the subs worked on these also.
-
I saw some pics of the Max figure on FB so I'm guessing a few have leaked out to buyers.

I wish KC operated more like a regular store. My artillery pods still haven't shipped. I ordered them right away when they went up for PO, I wonder what the delay is? Also, it seems oddly silent since the kickstarter completed. You'd think there'd be a big push to acknowledge the kickstarter's success and try to capitalize on the momentum... not go radio silent.
-
Sorry to hear that, I'm in S. Pas and it's been pretty scary. Good luck!
-
It's there! All are listed as upcoming, so exciting!
-
I love the AG line, looking forward to this.

The tornado parts come with a tripod for battroid mode. For me, fighter is the only way to go with those parts.

Lol, he certainly had some opinions, none of which were flattering. Your hypothesis may be valid and he may not have known. The impression I've gotten is that BW is a small company that is very weary of foreigners. With their HG experience, who can blame them? I get it now on the Macross logo, thanks. That may have to do with the pilot names also. A later run, in Japan or not, could carry the Macross logos with the Macross names.
-
Do you mean that ThreeZero didn't use the kite in their marketing materials? It's definitely on the toys.
-
Calibre Wings asked and was told no. Of course Noel didn't take it well and released his MZero F-14 anyway. I seem to recall that KC was courting BW so maybe their stance is softening but so far, BW has has a strict domestic bias.
-
Has any company not headquartered in Japan received a BW license?
-
I sold mine once.... then spent nearly twice as much to get it again (though the second one is in better condition). I think it will now be one of the last collectibles I ever sell.

Ha, I passed, ain't nobody for the time to build this thing!
