Well, I've not worked on extra gloss kits before, but even just bare plastic is usually pretty glossy, making panel lining easy. Clean it off afterward, and I'd imagine the factory-applied gloss won't be affected at all. What type of paint/thinner are you thinking of using? Apply the panel lining directly on top of the gloss coat and you'll be fine without having to re-topcoat. The panel lining might rub off easily, but that's about it.

Amen to this, if for no other reason than it'll make a good Battroid kit. I don't relish the idea of modding the Hasegawa kit to Battroid mode...

Is the 31's pod just connected to the swiveling arm by a round peg? That's the way it's done on the Bandai and Tomytec kits, so I'd imagine it's the same here as well. It would certainly make swapping (ostensibly) multiple pods easy.
-
The joint itself can detach from the fuselage, though, right? Either way, I seriously doubt they're using the same mechanism, or even one similar enough as to be interchangeable.

The nose sensors are not design-accurate. (It's almost as if Delta was rushed and clumsily handled...) You get inaccuracy and you get inaccuracy, EVERYONE GETS INACCURACY!!!!

The total can come down even more if 1) you buy a 90-day premium membership (+$4.99 for membership, -$10) 2) apply 5% discount Totals $198.06 shipped. Also if you're a first-time buyer, they send you a verification email that nets you an additional $5 off.

Oh I dunno, that red and black on white is really strong...

Yeah, your post was what tipped me off to them. Thanks for that.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Congrats on the haul, but more importantly, I have that same knife. Internet High Five. -
With the October 27th deadline approaching, I figured I should update my VF-31A preorder summary post for anyone still on the fence about purchasing. It's been updated with the MyKombini link, otherwise it's the same as it ever was. I decided to bite the bullet and try out Mykombini, since they demand a 50% deposit (not including shipping) instead of the whole price the other stores except CDJ charge you, and their total is only about 500 yen more than NY's. I'll let you all know how it goes with MK.
-
Is it only AE that has this deadline? I really don't want to stretch the funds... I was hoping preorder would last at least more than a month. Or actually, it's only been a week or two, right?

Thanks. @Valkyrie Driver I started a test run last night, and some initial thoughts in no particular order: - Very much an RPG, not so much a board game. Lots of stat-tracking. Pen and paper would be useful to reduce clutter. - Enemy behavior could be handled differently, namely a dedicated enemy player/DM. (I'm thinking up rules for that for when I play with my friends.) As is, it's a bit clumsy but functional once you know what everything means. - Relies on cards for EVERYTHING. All sorts of cards, a good number of them not labeled very well. - Takes up a LOT of real estate. - Figures are frickin' awesome, especially the boss/mini-boss ones. I hear there are expansions, too... - Once you know what you're doing, the game gets fun really fast. Once one person knows what he's doing, it's (presumably) easy to guide the other players through the game without them having to worry so much about the rules. (Another reason why a DM might not be a bad idea.) Anyway, that's that. PM me if you want to talk about it more. (Or start a thread, if others want to join in, too.) -
Ah, good to know. I'll wait 'til next paycheck, then. Hopefully preorders won't have closed by then... Thanks for all the links, by the way. You da real mvp.

Is it pay up front? EDIT: Also, there's a 5% off coupon you can click during the checkout process. Brings it down to $~193.

Shoji Kawamori's Juushinki PANDORA (Spring 2018)

Regular Forbes readers must squint quizzically every time their business news is interrupted by this weird show called Muh-cross. -
Sigh. Couldn't get in on the preorder madness, gonna have to just wait it out for someone to cancel, I suppose. Thanks for all the links, anyway.

Spent the weekend out of state visiting a friend. Had a blast, and I decided to splurge at their local comics store. I got the nephew a nice Overwatch cardboard poster, but he snuck it away before I could snap any photos. And I got this for myself. Upon opening the box, my immediate reaction: "That's a strong start."

When I saw the original low-res shots of the VF-31s' heads, I bore out hope that the VF-31F would feature a head design similar to this one from Armored Core 4's Aaliyah designs (also by Kawamori). Even as the series progressed, I didn't really get any clearer, sustained shots of the head, so it wasn't until the toy/model kit came out that I got a good idea what the F's head (and all the others', for that matter) looked like, hence my disappointment. The F's head looks fine by itself, but when the expectation is something like this, it's... unimpressive.
-
It is, I was talking about the head design in general, not specifically about the toy.

Black Panther, now available on home video
kajnrig replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Is this "extended" trailer just the newest one with the older one pasted on at the end? This channel does that a lot, it's pretty frakking annoying. -
...each, or total? Before taxes/proxy fees/shipping, or after? Because one way I'm only mildly jealous, and the other way I'm super super jelly. I'll be sending mine out of PW once the month ends. I can barely wait.
-
They might renew it somewhere down the line. They have October re-releases of the VE-1 and VT-1 incoming (should be coming into stores in a week or so), and the VF-19EF/A, which was released just in March, is getting a second production run in December.

I just wish the visor wrapped around the front instead of being two separate eyes.

The couple or so reviews of it I saw claimed it's a real looker that falls to pieces in your hand. The hands don't hold the rifles especially well (not surprising, given its redesign), and getting it into its iconic shooting pose is a nightmare. They also expressed some issues with the frame and parts fit, something about the frame being made in China while the armor parts were made in Japan so the quality control of the two halves don't quite match up 100% of the time. That's all hearsay, though. Best to look at some video reviews. EDIT: Actually, I remember seeing someone with it in the recent purchases thread. You might want to look there a couple pages back and see if you can find who it is.
