    That's a really shitty product. I'm not all that surprised about its current state of affairs, either, considering it's still in Early Access on Steam (correct me if I'm wrong). The same thing happened with ARK: Survival Evolved. Even the Pro/X patches haven't streamlined the game to playable levels, and it's not like the game should be all that resource-intensive. It's just really, really poorly optimized code. It's ridiculous these ostensibly half-finished games getting full-on boxed releases (even if they're just codes for digital downloads in reality). That said, PUBG certainly looks to be further along than ARK ever did, and with a more competent developer behind it as well. So hopefully its kinks get ironed out. I mean I certainly won't be getting it either way, but here's hoping for those who do play it.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Strike Rouge gets a new Aile Striker-esque backpack. This assumption is based solely on the model kits released. Stargazer is absolutely the diamond in the rough of this particular franchise. It still has some faults related to being part of said franchise, but it managed to entertain and engage me more in its 45-minute runtime than most Gundam shows, and all of Seed and Seed Destiny put together. I can only imagine what it could be if it were untethered from the shounen mecha genre in general and Gundam Seed in particular.

    Definitely excited about SFV AE, but I'm even more excited about the 30th Anniversary collection. Here's hoping Alpha 3 will still have its World Tour Mode. Arcade Perfect gameplay is great and all, but I want my Street Fighter RPG, man.

    Sakura YOOOOOOO Definitely grabbing AE, otherwise known as what the original game SHOULD have been. Actually, has it been confirmed what goes into AE? Are the previous season DLC characters included? Is Sakura included on release date, or is she part of the Season 3 DLC pack?

    Oh crap, turns out her AI chip had bits of fold quartz in them!

    It still seems reasonably sizable, though. Is it a resin toy? Did SHE move to plastic materials? Those parts look like plastic. God, it looks sooo good. I'd change up the size and proportions of some areas if I had one, but man do I want one. It's just such a shame about that price.

    Eh, the CGI eyes are too obvious to be "a bit" creepy and off. In its current state, it just looks like bad CGI. Heck, the majority of the movie looks like bad CGI. And why focus on the eyes? It's not like the original manga and anime adaptations - what little I remember of them, anyway - paid special attention to them. Agreed. Aside from being super gory, they were also just... grimy in general, as far as I remember. Like, everything should be caked in at least one layer of dust and motor oil. That said, the trailer does give off a feeling of competence, confidence, more so than other anime adaptations. It's confident enough in itself to go for the subdued, "artsy" trailer rather than the "generic summer blockbuster," at any rate. Happy tidings to those who like what they saw.

    They're finally finishing(?) the AoZ line. I had thought they would be done after the TR-5s, but apparently not. What are the chances they re-release the Primrose and Hrudududduududu and all those other AoZ docking crafts that have suspiciously HGUC-looking boxes but aren't part of the HGUC line?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Piggybacking off what I wrote earlier, I just got a charge 2 for some more kits and the EMS shipping is 8000 yen(!!!) compared to 6500 if I'd just bought the kits brand new off HLJ. Doubly frustrating is the fact that they didn't group them for surface mail shipping like I wanted, which could have saved me another 3-5000 yen... Sigh. A bit disappointing. Anyway. Slight tangent, back on topic.

    Huh. I know I've seen that silhouette before, but for the life of me I can't place the name...

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    IIRC, the prototype arm cannon never made it into production, right? Anyway, whenever I think of it I inevitably think of: (I spent too much time making this.)

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Hasn't the fold booster changed significantly from M+ to Frontier, ie the series with the most DXes? I remember the... VF-25G? used one to fold to Galia IV to save the day, and it looked way different from the M+ booster.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Maybe they chose a cheaper shipping option? But also, I've noticed that FJ tends to (or at least seems to) inflate their EMS shipping costs compared to other stores I've bought from... which admittedly aren't many. I bought a couple Gundam kits for cheap using them as a proxy, and with EMS the total was still almost the same as (if not more than) if I'd bought them new from HLJ or Amazon. Their EMS rate tended to be somewhere between 1,000-2,500 yen more than through HLJ... though I've also noticed that EMS in general seems more expensive than it used to be. And to be fair to FJ, they tend to put more... I shouldn't say "care," because that implies that HLJ isn't careful with its packaging, which it is, just that HLJ tends to be more economical about packaging compared to FJ. Bulk shipments from FJ have sometimes been double-boxed and always liberally bubble-wrapped, whereas bulk packages from HLJ come in a single box and have all the items on an extra cardboard base, sealed in plastic wrap, with air cushions on top. ....that said, I don't get why there would be that big a discrepancy between CA and NM(?). The items are the same, you'd think the packaging would be, too, and I don't think they charge differently to different parts of the US...

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    I mean... that WAS just a prototype, people. The first prototype of the VF-31A had incorrect nose cone sensors and fold carbon chest... flap... things...basically just being a lightly modified VF-31J, and they ended up correcting those things, so y'know, maybe relax a little.

    Thread title is misleading. This isn't a done deal yet.

    When did the VF-2SS come out? I've been seeing it around here the past week or two. Chances are low it's still in stock at HLJ et al? It's hit and miss, but I love the curves on that nose...

    Ooh. I just got a PS4 Pro for the kids, too. Maybe I'll pick up that X collection. Never played more than the SNES games, and those are so good. On another note, I haven't gotten a Switch yet, but damn if this song ain't catchy as hell.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    It's probably impossible to get "accurate" with this particular design. As for looks, though, I guess the Advance doesn't look as good as either the Yamcadia toys in that area, but what gap is there isn't that significant, methinks. And I can't shake the feeling that the tab IS preventing the wing root from directly contacting the leg/fast pack. But then I don't have the Advance toy, so it's a wash either way for me. Wow, that's spot on. I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, but now that I do, I can't NOT notice it, it's so garish. That's such a strange thing to screw up that badly.

    Jesus, you guys are grim. No one needs to DIE, the story just needs more focus and some fat-trimming. Except for Messer. He needs to die all the times.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    According to... jenius? (god I keep forgetting, sorry): "The Arcadia toy has the ability to convert into a two-seat configuration which is inexplicably missing from the Bandai toy. It will be interesting to see if Bandai changes this for the likely YF-19 variant. They did paint a warning next to what would be the second pilot seat so someone in the organization thought this would be a two seat craft." --- Immediately after that, he continues (and others have pointed this out here, too), "Bandai opted to not connect the top of the wings to the leg fast packs in fighter mode which is clearly wrong." Is it, though? I know the way the toy is designed the wing pegs into the leg, and the Fast pack doesn't have a similar slot for said peg, so it's left exposed. But is that peg vital to maintaining the integrity of the toy in fighter mode? Do the legs flop out of place otherwise? I'd imagine that removing the peg altogether would allow for a more flush fit with Supers on and minimal impact to fitment with Supers off. Or maybe make the peg retractable or hinged...

    Yeah, zoom in on that bare shoulder, baby...

    "Gekijo no Walkure." I'd be surprised if Delta Squadron get out of their cockpits at all. Which I'd be fine with, actually.
  24. kajnrig
    All of this, pretty much. Though it strikes me as odd that they're speaking Japanese at all. The plot seems to be that they're actually Batman and Joker transported back in time. Bruce I can understand maybe knowing some Japanese, but Joker... But blah. Convenience. And the voices DO sound good.
