  1. Whoof. That is a NASTY stress mark. Are the marks to the side related, too? Best of luck reinforcing or just plain ol' surviving that.
  2. It does, thanks, but I was hoping for something a bit higher resolution, or more focused on the heads in particular, preferably from different angles. Maybe design sketches, the Master File, or something. I'd check the animation again but they rarely went into battroid mode anyway, and whenever they did usually the only one to get a good shot of its face was the J. Oh well. I got what I needed, thanks again.
  3. Thanks. Welp, looks like it's time to go sleuthing.
  4. Thanks for the answers, jenius/VF5SS. I asked this in the model thread as well and Chronocidal pointed me the way of the DX VF-31 thread, but while I'm scouring all 200 pages or so, I'll ask here, too:
  5. Is there a head comparison of the various -31s at all? I'm thinking about picking another one of these up and debating between the various kit releases - regular J/C/F/S, J-Kai, or Super J. The itasha decals that come with the J-Kai don't interest me that much (though the paint scheme is nice), and I'm on the fence about the Super packs, though I suppose if I do want one I can just pick up the add-on kit. But yeah, a head comparison would be greatly appreciated, since that's the major difference between the different models. I'm leaning toward getting the F and shaving the horn, but I still don't have a great idea how the heads looks aside from the J's.
  6. Ah, yeah, I meant the movie canon. Should've specified. Thanks.
  7. Hey all. I was looking at HLJ's summer sale and found these on sale. Dunno if they fit the theme, but I saw "chogokin" and figured maybe? Might pique your interest, might not. https://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?SaleGroup=HLJ20ANNIVERSARYJUN5&DisplayMode=images&Dis=2&Sort=std&qid=CTASYSH1Q&set=1&x=0&y=0&KeyWord=chogokin&c=c
  8. https://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?method=category/seriesId&SaleGroup=HLJ20ANNIVERSARYJUN5&DisplayMode=images&Dis=2&Sort=std&qid=11WXY1MOVT8OQ&set=1 Part 2 of HLJ's 20th anniversary sale, items sorted by series. Looks to be a lot of Transformers stuff on there, but I haven't checked myself. You might see something you like. Cheers, all.
  9. Yeah, I get tired of the monotony of Gundam model design, too. I snapped a Heavyarms Kai EW and Tallgeese III just a couple days ago, and they build fine, but I agree I've had more fun putting together the various VF designs. There's more variety in the things you're building and the way you build them. I've grown less and less enamored with internal frames over the years. Bandai continues to push that particular gimmick and yet I tend to have more fun with simpler Gundam builds like the RE/100 kits. Showing off internal detail is all well and good, but that doesn't seem to be the point of MG internal frames anymore (or ever, now I think about it).
  10. That's what I'm worried about, that people will praise it to high heaven because it's just good enough, a mark the DCEU has never been able to achieve. I feel like the movie has a set of impossibly high expectations placed upon it through no fault of its own; it's expected to pull the DCEU out of the critical doldrums AND be the feminist pillar of superhero movies AND appeal to traditional superhero movie fans AND be a star-making vehicle for Gal Gadot (who it could be argued already had her breakout performance in BvS because really does anyone care about anything else in that movie?) AND continue the DCEU overarching story line AND so on and so forth. If it's just another decent movie a la Thor 2 or the first Captain America, that'll be a solid notch in its belt, DCEU be damned.
  11. What's the price of PSN/Live? Isn't it about the same? (Haven't been online with a console since... ever, now I think about it. Wow.) EDIT: I'm most interested in their class games offerings. If it's just cherry-picked games from the NES/SNES era, then bleh. If it's an entire console library and/or runs up through at least the N64 (preferably Gamecube/Wii), though...
  12. They might release the TFA as a P-Bandai exclusive. That said, what's this about the landing pads, and is that (and the antenna) the only difference between OG Falcon and New Hotness Falcon?

    Hi-Metal R

    Is the Monster not worth $200-250? As in its build quality, size, etc. doesn't justify its price? From what I read before its release people were super impressed by its size...
  14. Isn't a 1/144 Falcon just around the same size as a 1/72 X-Wing? I suppose 1/48 WOULD be overkill at that point. Still, though...
  15. Too right. They're going for $100+ on YJA, and don't even exist anymore on Ebay.
  16. Oh wow. This is Bandai, right? (Nvm, clicked the video.) That's super sick, seeing the next Perfect Grade NOT being Gundam. The first Perfect Grade was Eva 01, and now the Millennium Falcon... Shame about the scale, though. I mean, I know the Falcon is a beast even at this scale, but a 1/48 would truly have been Perfect Grade.
  17. So I dunno when they restocked them, but HLJ has a bunch either back in stock or backordered. A search for "tomy macross": http://hlj.com/search/go?w=tomy macross No VF-31A, though, but that's unsurprising.

  21. Second this. I just bought two items that had been in my HLJ backorder for a while - a 1/100 HG Gundam X kit, and a 1/72 Tornado Messiah - and it's been as good an experience buying now as it was when I first used it. What advantages does Buyee have over FJ? I read earlier that Buyee is the official YJA proxy company, but using FJ has been pretty painless, all things considered.
  22. Ooh, good tip. Some other useful search terms: エースコンバット Ace Combat 震電II / 震電2 Shinden II/Shinden 2 リッジバックス隊 Ridgeback(s) Squadron ケイ・ナガセ カラー Kei Nagase color
