  1. For what it's worth, the only one I see on AmazonJP is at 51k yen shipped.
  2. I love seeing a bump on this thread only to see it's nothing lol. I got SUPER excited for a minute.
  3. It is! I like the old flight pose stands more, but this is a reasonable replacement.
  4. I had this thought when looking at the VF-0 and now again with this VF-1, but the panel lines look really deep. Like carved with a paper clip deep. Obviously the 0 is a new mold so we don't know, but do they look as pronounced on the VF-1 in hand?
  5. For this particular bird, probably not super likely, but I suppose you never know. A CF version with the radar like in the first (I think) friggin episode would be welcome though. It's the only version I really wanted.
  6. I remember back in the day when you might get a stand with a Yamato release. I think my 21 and original Nora 51 came with them. It's really a shame stands aren't more standard with these. One of their modes is a plane for goodness sake, having at least some of them soaring through your displays is kind of required.
  7. I've ordered 3, but I'm debating going as high as you have. They look nice and I have serious stand deficiency.
  8. Just as a general fyi for folks looking for R-Type merch, I don't believe Bandai has ever done an R-Type release of any kind. Yujin did the gashapons in their Shooting Game Historica line (and a black 9A as a pre-order bonus for the original Tactics), A-Label did the 9A Arrowhead and 9D Shooting Star under the R-Type Tactics License in their Madou Gokin line, Good Smile/FREEing did the two Figmas as well as the Dobkeratops with a tiny clear 9A, and Ques Q is doing a 9A, which is out, and a 90 which is coming soon. Plum has also done a 9A model kit that has recently gotten a revamp for Final 2 and they've also indicated an interest into making kits for other ships.
  9. I would have honestly expected all of these before an Angelbirds. Bandai works in mysterious ways, I guess.
  10. I said it elsewhere, but I'm surprised this was the next one. I would have thought TV Kakizaki or just the regular ol' brownie would have been first up. Glad I don't have to stress about a pre-order though.
  11. While, I imagine, not on the same level of popularity as the 19 the 1/60 Max and Millia PFs were available for ages, the 1/60 PF Elint still is, even the 0D was around for a bit. I think there's definitely hope, especially since it's an Arcadia release and not a Bandai one.
  12. Oh I'm not arguing it's a viable product lol. Just arguing that size wise it seems more reasonable than it did when the picture first appeared.
  13. At the time that thing felt so enormous and impossible. But now we live in a world with 1/6 scale Batmobiles, Lego Millennium Falcons that you have to build a coffee table around, and 1/4 statues that, with the base and flourishes and posing, are basically the half the size of an adult human. The 1/60 Monster doesn't seem that obscene anymore (or maybe I've just lost my mind).
  14. A 0A PF would be such a dangerous release for me. Have the PF 0D, would probably want the 0A that way, and then my 0S is the odd man out and I'd want it to match the other two. Heaven help me if they figure out a way to PF the 51s.
  15. Apologies to those of you who may have already seen a post about this over on TFW2005, buuuuuuut, this bad boy should be here in (relatively) short order:
  16. The Chosen Prime also has this release up and they don't require the deposit. That's what I went with since, if I happen to change my mind, it's even less hassle.
  17. I didn't snap any pictures since it's nothing people haven't seen a million times before, but my DX 1J showed up yesterday. It was not a cheap piece to re-acquire and to actually ship it just made it worse. That said, when I sat down last night and opened it up, I was immensely more happy with it than I was back on its release. Maybe it's that I'm at the tail end of a SDFM rewatch, maybe it's that I now have a TV Max and know a TV Roy is on the way, or maybe I just have the bug more than I did when the DX line started, whatever the reason, I really love this piece. There's also a special kind of satisfaction in getting something from Mandarake and having it basically be case perfect. Getting to cut the tape on the box for the first time like it hadn't sat on a shelf for a couple years. It made the expense feel even more worth it. My collection, at least when it comes to the original show and DYRL, is really sparse. It consisted basically of a 1/48 Roy and a 1/60 Roy, both from DYRL. Now, to be on my way to having most of the major players in the show represented on a shelf is exciting. Throw in a few Kids Logic character figures and I think I'll have a really nice show setup. Handling these has also really reinforced how much I love this scale. We may never get anything else to match it, but I really like pieces that are this size. I'm not sure Macross collecting has ever felt more satisfying for me than it does right now.
  18. Holding and messing with the DX releases I was, thankfully, never tempted to sell my 1/48 stuff. If anything it just reinforces how good those pieces are. Some proper hands really go a long way on them. It's a shame they Yamato didn't included with every/more release(s) since they existed anyway.
  19. The weathing on that Max is fantastic. *chef's kiss*
  20. I really liked Picard and I'm very excited to see where they take it. Those characters mean a lot to me and it meant a lot to see some of them again. I also like Disco a great deal. About my only complaint with it is that I am really enjoying all the characters and I wish it spread the love out a little more. Season 2 was a bit better in that regard. Even Lower Decks, which I was immensely skeptical about, has been a really fun ride so far. In a format that's half the size of a typical Trek episode, they are giving us some pretty solid stories and giving us time with our cast. But I'm the Trek fan who has been able to find things to enjoy in basically every Trek show and film.
  21. Pretty much how I feel about being a fan of anything these days. It feels even more bile filled than in years passed. I've found my enjoyment of these things is magnified greatly if I don't engage in discourse about it. Which, ultimately, is pretty sad, since I enjoy sharing that enthusiasm with people.
  22. HLJ still has them, if you're looking for the PF that is.
  23. Mannnnn, that came out super great. I'm excited for a set. Since I'm only doing TV DX Valks, my old DYRL Roy has plenty of hand options. It's amazing how much that helps the display of that piece.
  24. I'm such a sucker for the TV design of the SDF-1. Which version is this?
