    Bandai DX VF-31

    Yep, having gotten my refund from Mykombini I've managed to avoid the consternation most everyone else here has been suffering for the past week or so. I'm feeling much more content with my two 31A kits now, after seeing the suffering I avoided.
  2. On phone so nothing fancy, but this was a great time, you should definitely go see this movie.
  3. Maybe Delta 05 markings? I dunno, I didn't see the movie...
  4. ^ I'll let you know when I see RPO this afternoon. For what it's worth, my impression of Pacific Rim 2 is improving by the day.
  5. Ooh, I didn't even see that. I just clicked on "Add to Cart" right away. EDIT: Also, VF-31F has decals for both Messer and Hayate rides.
  6. HLJ preorder: https://hlj.com/product/HSG65843 Amiami: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-4546 EDIT: VF-31F HLJ preorder: https://hlj.com/product/HSG65844 Amiami: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-4547
  7. Oh frakk yes, I love that scheme, and it's a Ba to boot! Definitely gonna get in on this. (EDIT: By the by, that's a May 31 release date.) Re: the 1/48 VF-1 beneath it, was that out of production or something? I thought they always kept the VF-1 kits on a pretty consistent production rotation because of its popularity? In case anyone else is interested, a quick translation of that area: - YF-19 "Macross Plus" (Egg Plane); Non-Scale; June 7 release/June 10 retail; 1300 JPY - VF-1S/A Valkyrie "Skull Squadron"; 1/48; July 12 release/July 15 retail; 3800 JPY - VF-1 Valkyrie Photo-etched parts; 1/48; June-July; 2000 JPY - YF-19 Photo-etched parts; 1/48; June-July; 2000 JPY EDIT: Has the VF-31F not been released yet? Which variants have now? I think... only the J, C, and A variants have been released? I don't think the VF-31 Super packs have been released?
  8. A little bit like the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool that's really the runway for Air Force One?
  9. Do SE license their characters to be made by other companies? I know there's a Figuarts Sora from Kingdom Hearts, but I'd imagine most if not all of their stuff they make in-house through their own figure lines.
  10. As opposed to Play being...? Also, up on HLJ now too: https://hlj.com/product/enx33635
  11. Bring Arts Fei Fong Wong up for preorder @ amiami: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-038455
  12. Bring Arts Fei Fong Wong up for preorder @ amiami: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-038455 As an aside, what's the difference between the Play Arts and Bring Arts lines?
  13. I've always loved the intricate clothing and textiles adorning these characters, and THAT WELTALL.
  14. Snap-fit kits are always such a pain when you want to build them "traditionally." All the solid connections actually make for way more work, at least for me. I have to cut down all the pegs and holes so that they're little more than guide rails and the actual holding together comes from the glue/cement.
  15. Then stop. No more jokes. Fun and games don't include panic attacks. You've called this an addiction, a bad habit, you're taking away from your food budget, and you just had a panic attack. This is not fun. You are probably experiencing and/or have experienced and/or will experience overwhelming anxiety over how to scramble your finances together to deal with how much you've just spent. You need to stop, and everyone here cannot be light and jokey about this. I said it before: we here are not your friends and we do not have your best interests at heart. Get away from the forums for a while if you have to; the people here are generally enjoyable to be around, but I think it's fair to say we as a forum tend to celebrate excess a bit... excessively. Please, PLEASE, don't get suckered in by that.
  16. Mine's waiting at HLJ for other items to join it. So I "have" it, but won't have it for another month or two.
  17. I was just thinking "there MUST BE a video game or anime by that name..." Anyway, saw it again tonight, and while my criticisms still stand, I also still ultimately had lots of fun with it. There's one shot near the beginning of the movie though that really irritated me both times I've seen it. When Jake first comes to the Shatterdome and is I think going into his room or something... it's a shot from inside the room facing the door and he opens it and enters... there's a window behind his left shoulder just off from the center of the screen, and there's a big ol' bloom of light coming from it that I keep wanting to shoo out of the shot because it's so god damn distracting. It's right next to the focus of the shot, clearly the intent is for people's eyes to follow Jake as he's the only thing moving in the shot, but it's just RIGHT THERE, like a little shoulder devil casually stripping while we're all having a casual conversation and no one seems to notice it but me. I don't know why it bothers me that much, but it does... Also they really REALLY dialed up the orange-blue contrast, that was also super annoying. Like John Boyega looks fine in the daytime shots, fellas, no need to supercharge him so he looks like a ripe tangerine...
  18. I was just gonna say, Greek letters and phonetic alphabet (apparently that's what it's called, the alpha bravo charlie etc.) are the way to go. Stardust Vagabond Baleful Mercury Rosso Roulette This Is Fun
  19. IIRC, the only rights Tatsunoko has is the international distribution rights to the original SDFM. The reason no one is going ahead with releasing the sequels is because of the Tatsu/HG deal/fiasco. Correct me if I'm wrong.
  20. This thread started flying over my head long ago, but I can still gawk and ooh and aah at the end result. This is too good. How well is the arm doing holding up the Valk? The VF by itself is pretty light, but it has all the added electronics and is being held way out on the end of the arm. You worried at all about things holding together, or is the arm and base pretty sufficiently reinforced?
