Which is better, the SoC or the Neca 18" toy?

I'm talking to a friend on FB about the new BattleTech game (the one that had been hit by HG's lawsuit a while back), and writing about it really put into stark relief just how little HG have done with Robotech since the 80s. Macross and BattleTech both have managed to move on and evolve themselves over the years despite dealing with HG's legal shenanigans; meanwhile Robotech just languishes, having made no substantial moves in 35 years to take the franchise beyond the original chimera show, or really even just the SDFM portion of the show. All it does is subsist on the goodwill of an aging and dwindling fan base. At this point, considering how much they seem to want to divest themselves of the Macross baggage, I don't understand why HG don't just wipe the entire franchise clean and start from scratch. ...anyway. That has only the most tangential relation to this, but just... wow.

Same. The backers of this particular Kickstarter might know what they're doing, but so many of the others I've seen - including the failed one I was a part of - complain about not getting the game/product they preordered, and I have to fight to keep from pulling my hair out.

I'm guessing some of those SH Figuarts are recycled from earlier releases? -
That's about... 9-9.5" tall? That puts it at roughly 1/350, 1/325 scale? I wonder how it sits next to the 1/350 Plamax model kits...

Looking back through the FMP thread, there seem to be three specific changes to the new MB Laevatein: - added shoulder swivel - new articulated storage compartment in chest for hand grenades - extra joint arm for the demolition gun and

Is that a name worth knowing? (EDIT: Watch it be the guy's name and I'm a complete idiot.) -
That doesn't necessarily mean that the proxies will get them around that same time, right? So it'll probably take a few days to get to them, then a few days more as they sort and prep.
-
Well, that changes the dynamic a bit...

Good luck.

Yep, this. Learned my lesson from the MB Arbalest preorder. Also, search link again: https://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?Word=vf-31+dx&range=nameonly&SeriTxt1=&GenreCode=All&MacroType=All&Maker1=&Scale=All&Skill=&Dae=All&Dis=-2&Code=&janCode=&x=0&y=0

Nope, but I'm refreshing this search page. https://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?Word=vf-31+dx&range=nameonly&SeriTxt1=&GenreCode=All&MacroType=All&Maker1=&Scale=All&Skill=&Dae=All&Dis=-2&Code=&janCode=&x=0&y=0 I'm not even planning on getting it, but maybe I'll be able to post the link in time for the rest of you to get in on it.

Yeah, part of me is of this thinking as well. You're investing in something, and a result or reward from that investment is not at all guaranteed. I kickstarted an indie game about two years ago and the last update was January 1... of 2017. I reported them to Kickstarter in hopes of stopping them from starting another Kickstarter project in the future without some major vetting, but I don't know what else I should expect to receive (or take) from them save for... unfinished character sketches, animation gifs, other project files?

God damn it, I knew I shouldn't have come into this thread... Some of the cameo designs, too? Maybe the unused ones, too? Pretty pretty please?

If any of you are fans of FF7, Kotaku (of all places) has a guy going through the game exploring the differences between the Japanese and English scripts. One interesting tidbit from the latest episode: Aeris may have had an unrequited love for Zack in the original script. -
IIRC, the VR gameplay is a separate set of missions from the main campaign(/multiplayer?), so omitting it entirely from the PC/XB1 releases might be a possibility, making any workaround even more difficult...

Nice. In case you also collect the DXes and/or Yamcadia 1/60 toys, Xigfrid has her in 1/60 as well.

Anyway, anyone notice that the kid in the car looks familiar? The comments were saying kid Moana, but my first thought was the girl who adopts the toys from Toy Story 3.

My one major gripe with their ZoE kits is that they're oddly- and over-engineered, though that's also rather apropos given the subject matter. What do they need to finish the line? Maybe the Ardjet/Nephtis from ZoE2, Neith from ZoE1, and... the final battle Jehuty/Anubis? Their Armored Core kits are absolute gold. Lots of super small parts and lots of everything not necessarily needing but definitely needing glue. But the finished product is so well worth the effort. I'm feeling the itch to get another one now, maybe the Aaliyah to pair with the Alicia Unsung I already have. Or the White Glint VOB that's been perpetually on my to-get list.

I like the first movie too, I just saw the big ol "EBAY" logo and started thinking of the Instagram world and the Dance world and whatever the Stream was and... Just blegh.
-
oh you can go to hell -______________________- I'll be honest, I didn't really like the design at first either, and I still don't like it as much as its predecessor design, but the kit itself played a big role in winning me over.

I'm getting flashes to that excrementatious Emoji movie, but that extended gag at the end... that did make me giggle.

Plamax 1/20 model kits are pretty decent (EDIT: they also have kits of the members of Walkure, too): http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5574/PLAMAX+MF+04+minimum+factory+Lynn+Minmay+Do+You+Remember+Love+Ver.html http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/6669/PLAMAX+MF+20+minimum+factory+Lynn+Minmay+Chinese+Dress+Ver.html

I knew it was only a matter of time before they reissued this. Kotobukiya 1/60 ARX-8 Laevatein Model Kit Reissue https://hlj.com/product/KBYKP-453/Sci If you haven't gotten this, I strongly - STRONGLY - recommend it. Aside from being a fan of the design, I think the kit itself is absolutely fantastic to build. It does a better job executing on Bandai's gunpla trends than Bandai does, while also being perfectly at home with other Kotobukiya kits. Everything came together perfectly with this kit, figuratively and literally. It's largely the reason that I've warmed up to the Laevatein's design as much as I have. ...by the way, do we have a dedicated Kotobukiya thread?
