    I'm sure any extra masking can be done by the modeler themselves. But I don't have any experience with canopy masks; do other makers make their masks fit the entire canopy or just the essential outline like this? (I'd have thought the latter, which would honestly be a better way to go IMO, but again, I don't have any experience using masks.) Where/when will these (both the 1/72 and 1/48 VF-1 masks, and/or any future products) be sold? The RTKF Facebook store?

    Seems that maybe... MAYBE... they might have. http://www.eurogamer.net/amp/2018-02-06-shadow-of-the-colossus-on-ps4-has-a-new-mystery-to-solve "The remaster has introduces a third type of collectable, which have been dubbed 'Enlightenments' or 'Gold Coins' by players, which glow and sparkle when found."

    Wasn't FB2012 basically a lavish theatrical Mari Ijima/Minmay concert, too? They could be going for that. I dunno, just picking at the thinnest strands at this point.

    Well I think it's funny...

    I know this must have been said already, but... why? Was anyone really clamoring for a Han Solo movie? I sure wasn't. But then again, I wasn't clamoring for a Star Wars, yet here we are, so... eh. Maybe another trailer will make it look more interesting.

    I wonder if the Switch would be able to function without its battery. Teardowns show that it's pretty simple to replace, and if you're going to leave it in its dock anyway, maybe you could filch the battery and use it as a spare on a second console or sell it.

    Unfortunately, all I have is a RX 480 8GB. Perfect if you wanted to get into this crypto craze, but that and the 1060 would hardly be enough of a step up from a 960, I'd imagine. $500 if you want it. What do you mean, that's a ripoff? It's $50 cheaper than the one on Newegg AND it has twice the VRAM! That's practically a steal!

    Then full transformation. THEN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

    Hm... You have a point. But any chance to rib my brother is one worth taking... In other news, I preordered the Shadow of the Colossus remake, and while I love the higher quality visuals, I also think the points in this article hold true: http://www.eurogamer.net/amp/2018-02-04-the-question-of-fidelity-and-shadow-of-the-colossus

    Got my brother Until Dawn because he's a big horror movie nut. He's been playing it on and off for a couple months now, but just now failed to save his waifu and so quit the whole thing. He's super upset about it, too, I don't know whether to laugh or comfort him.

    There's no confirmation, but I would think they come almost completely color-molded. Probably just the blades on the knives, maybe some accent colors will be missing... Size is ~14cm, 5.5 in.

    It's a single piece of art. And that piece of art looks fine. Calm down, people, sheesh. EDIT: That name, though. You just know that's the producer's fault.

    The VF-2 has a fin there, I think they're just modding it for... ease of transformation? It's not a "RVF" mod.

    Thanks for the tip. Has there been instances of preorders reopening (not due to customer cancellation)? Like Bandai/Yamcadia/etc. decide to up production numbers or something.

    Would NY be in on this as well? They're currently undergoing maintenance, unfortunately.

    Closed @HLJ now. Now I see why some of you do this regularly. It's a bit of a rush.

    Amiami and HS sold out within literal seconds. Sheesh. Here's hoping my HLJ order went through alright. How'd you all find the link? I kept refreshing a search page for "Laevatein" and didn't see it. EDIT: Order confirmed!

    Hm... now that I take a good look at them, maybe I exaggerated things a bit. What initially seemed like vastly different transitions from main body to wing roots actually looks to be relatively the same between all the M7 VF-19s. The major areas needing different molds would be the shoulders, the head, and the "neck" of the VF-19 behind the cockpit. All of which are easy enough to engineer. Still, though, I don't think there's much clamoring for the M7 VF-19 variants; everyone seems to prefer the original prototype look. IIRC, Hasegawa released a M7-schemed VF-11C kit... though what the differences between it and M+'s VF-11B are, i don't know.

    I've been checking HLJ and no such listing yet. I'm guessing it'll just be up in an hour's time.

    In addition to Noel's pics, here are some more "naturally-lit" screenshots: IIRC, there's not much info on what if anything separates the Delta VF-171 from the Frontier VF-171 aside from the color scheme. The Mecha Colle kit of the Delta variant calls it the "Rim World Model." The VF-171 fleet aboard the Macross Frontier eventually gets modified to the VF-171EX standard (starting with Alto's custom paint), incorporating Vajra-specific weaponry and support for EX Gear. Luca's ride probably has those same modifications, so it's probably an EX as well in all but name. Also IIRC, the Frontier VF-171 is never depicted with Super packs until the EX upgrade; the Delta variant is never depicted with Supers at all. Hypothetically, all the variants, including Luca's RVF, could probably equip Super equipment. Thus far (and again IIRC) the known VF-171 variants, not including the original VF-17, are: - VF-171 Nightmare Plus (Frontier colors) - VF-171 Nightmare Plus (Delta colors, "Rim World Model") - VF-171EX Nightmare Plus (Frontier colors) - VF-171EX Nightmare Plus (Alto colors) - VF-171EX Nightmare Plus (Maruyama colors, has a large Sheryl decal on top fuselage) - VF-171EX Nightmare Plus (Hero Shot Vajra-Puncher Guy colors????) - RVF-171(EX?) Nightmare Plus (Luca colors) Unlike the VF-19A or VF-19EF/A, all of the Macross 7 VF-19s are pretty radical departures from the basic shape of the YF-19, and even from each other. Different curves, different lines, etc. They'd have to create a lot from scratch for each kit, probably to the point that they would barely eke out a profit or not profit at all.

    I've had some success by thinning Testors clear green and brushing it on in as thin layers as I can. But even then, it was a mild success at best. Oh, and in case anyone's interested, I'm getting rid of some Gunpla: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/45310-more-odds-and-ends-gundam-kits tl;dr: New MG Launcher/Sword Strike - $40 New MG Kampfer - $40 New MG Freedom - $35 New HGUC Xekueins - $10 Free shipping on MGs if you opt to have me preassemble them and discard the original box.

    Same. I have two of the Koto kits preordered, as well as the MB Arbalest and the Aoshima Laevatein. The Koto kit will complement the Koto Laevatein nicely (which also sports the original design from the novels/manga), and the Aoshima kit will fit in with the other Aoshima FMP kits I already have (though I wonder if perhaps I should go for the 1.5 re-releases of those as well, seems like they did some extensive re-engineering). I'll wait to see how satisfied I am with those before going in for the Bandai stuff.

    I've done all of the above and they're all good strategies.
