    One of mine was Japanese and the second one i opened was Robotech and both had the same issue. I kinda think the workers probably just grabbed parts to throw in the packages. And in some cases they just forgot important things like an entire front wheel

    I have it, and opened it, but I’ll have to find the box it’s packed in. I may have posted pictures of it here, but I’ll check a few pages back

    I kinda thought about watching rebels, but after hearing that it has time travel I’ve decided I’m not missing anything

    I’d be more interested if it didn’t transform personally. Partsforming would be a decent compromise though

    Please, no time portals or time travel of any kind or even multiverse crap. It always feels like the writers ran out of ideas and don’t know what to do

    I used to watch Tenchi a lot back in the 90’s to early 2000’s. Back then it felt like a very original idea, but the more additions meant lower quality and the harem newness wore off. I haven’t kept up at all and would probably be totally lost

    I would hope not. Those first couple episodes were terrible

    I transform my 1-A cannon fodder a bit and so far it’s holding up pretty well. No cracks or anything. My Yamato ones would have given up at the amount I’ve messed with this one. I don’t have too many Arcadia ones though.

    I’ll agree that the regult is a great kit. I’d also recommend the wave destroids especially since they’re 1/72 scale just like most of the newer kits. But I don’t think you should throw the old kits away, even though the collage would be awesome. Maybe start with a newer kit and learn a few simple things and use what you learn in an older kit. I would probably say to pick something that hasn’t been done better by a newer company. Maybe the tv sdf1 or the zentraedi power armors. When you get your skills up tackle some of those. They’re a lot of work, but you’ll be more proud if you can turn those into treasures.

    And an art style that looks like the old comic

    This seems like the opposite. Personally I don’t mind things a bit jokey with certain characters, but it depends on the situation for me

    Looks pretty awesome

    This looks so bad, but I want to see it for the sloth. Even when it’s supposed to be scary, it looks too cute

    The box art and variety of the old kits are really the only major draw to them. I personally think the ones from Imai molds, wether that’s the og release or Bandai rereleases to be the better of the classics. But with those, there’s a lot more work to be done. Seam lines, mismatched parts and the necessity for paint. It can really be a long laborious project. The new kits on the other hand will have more durability, articulation and less of a need for seam filling and have a much more precise fitting. I’ve snapped up two yf-19 kits from Bandai and those are pretty super easy with a lot of color separation, but still have seam issues. The upcoming vf-1j from max factory might be the best looking battroid only kit in plastic and looks like it will be pretty simple. Hopefully they put out more kits, because that one looks like a real winner. And the Hasegawa Regult series has been pretty great as far as looks, but will need a little seam work as well, but have some great innovations in the way they did the knee joints. I’ve built a few regult kits from several companies in the past, but the new ones from hasegawa have made it to where I’d never bother with the old imai or Arii kits ever again. as far as transforming kits, I’ve never liked transforming models. I’ll take a partsforming kit or non transforming kit any day and leave the transforming to the toys In short, I’d say the old kits make better collectors items since the packaging was so beautiful back in the day, while I’d buy a modern kit for the build unless it’s of a subject that the other companies haven’t done. Although I’m keeping up hope for more enemy mecha from hasegawa. I kinda forgot to mention tomy tech, but those great little kits are very hard to come by these days, but prepainted parts and articulated joints along with those little decal sets made the worth the price. Those were tiny masterpieces

    That stark jegan looks great. it’s back up on preorder at the US store. I’m still hoping the do the non unicorn version sometime as an mg kit. I skipped the standard mg, but did get one of the mg d types and really like that one a lot
  16. Big s
    Since it’s an exclusive item, the sellers will probably be limited

    So he’s blonde in this version. Kind of an odd choice

    Back in the 80’s and early 90’s they had that great mix of trash and treasure. Now it’s just trash more than anything unfortunately. But I remember the good old days of finding so much odd stuff that you weren’t sure what to spend the cash on.

    A vampire green lantern sounds tough in concept, but if you just drink a lot of holy water before battle and urinate on him, then he’s toast since he’s weaknesses includes the color yellow and the blessing on top of that takes care of everything.

    Ever since the hi metal Hikaru has been getting younger and younger.

    For me it was more like, someone knew a kid that got a copy from their dad that went to a swap meet booth run by a guy who was stationed overseas that knew a guy that did a bootleg. Who knows what gen it was at that point?
  22. Big s
    While working on the new kit of that power armor, the first mages of that build would come up regularly while I was searching for references. The guy does amazing work

    I never saw the in the U.S. when they were dubbed. Maybe it was just for a vhs release. But since they didn’t finish the series dubbing I only watched the subtitles version. In fact the first time I saw the show it was a bad subtitle version, so this was definitely an upgrade. I wouldn’t mind if they did a decent dub since I’d rather watch than read especially since the animation looks great for the most part.

    It’s definitely worth it. out of the list provided, I’d put Macross at the top followed by Mospeada then Orguss and after that southern cross. Although Mospeada isn’t technically a super dimension show, it does have a triple changing robot and I only slightly put it ahead of Orguss.

    I like the little paper cutouts
