    The movie is really about a plumber that was offered some pizza at one of his customers homes that had been using the wrong kinda shrooms as a topping. Now he thinks every pipe is a warp gate that leads to early retirement. along the way he’s fighting with dead turtles children had flushed while believing he was responsible for their deaths and their all led by his boss who in his mind is now some messed up cross between a turtle and a dragon and thinks his hot wife needs to be rescued from him and somehow his brother is trying to help him in his adventures. The whole time his brother is really trying to get him clean and it’s really a redemption story dealing with heavy addiction

    Yeah, I saw the original release in 3D and was absolutely amazed. I kinda thought every movie after that would try to be that immersive. Unfortunately that didn’t really happen. I still wasn’t that happy with the movie on home video. I couldn’t afford a 3D tv and that gimmick is really the big thing for it.

    Kitty approved quality assurance

    There’s a lot about this design that I really like and a chest that I really hate. I’d almost like to get it and see if I could find another kit to kitbash it.

    Rammstein definitely are the kings of fire. If you get a chance look up some of the recent tour videos on YouTube. Mein teil was one of the highlights. I don’t know how the guy on keyboards survived without serious burns. Definitely one of the most dangerous displays I’ve ever seen at a show. Du Hast had an amazing fireworks ricochet to flaming tower explody awesomeness. And this tour they had a smaller stage set up shaped like a ship with cannons in the back about midway into the arena where they all gathered up to do a softer piano version of Engel while climbing on little inflatable rafts that the floor crowd carried back to the mainstage. It was fun watching them ride those little rafts over the crowd, leading into Auslander back at that massive stage.

    Some more web exclusive temptation found these pics on tag hobby and I guess if you have the reboot barzam there’s a Frankenstein option.

    While I really never liked the band, I think it was a great idea to post the tour dates for those that are fans. I’m sure there are some here that would greatly appreciate that info and I think it would be cool to have tour dates for other bands posted as well. We’re finally finishing up the postponed tours from 2020 and there’s some good acts setting up new tours for 2023.

    Looks like $279 at bbts

    I think that unfortunately wouldn’t mesh well. The scale aside, Hasegawa tends to try to be more real world in detail and Bandai tends to be more anime simplistic. It’s too bad wave didn’t do a 1/100 YF-19 since they also tend to be more anime simple.

    I don’t think the front of the foot looks bad, the heel is a bit big looking, but I’m having a hard time finding references for the back side in battroid. Maybe even keep it simple with a 3D printed replacement for the fighter. Or possibly just for the heel, but I think a full replacement for the fighter would look great

    Honestly I don’t know the absolute criteria for the U.S. stores in Macross plus. Bandai was able to allow stuff for delta, frontier and zero and American theaters were allowed to show the movie
  13. Big s
    No, it’s a mix of two issues. Bandai doesn’t Allow sellers to even sell gundam kits outside of Japan unless they have an American website like hlj and amiami. And then American stores have to deal with harmony gold not allowing certain items in their stores. Amiami didn’t have this kit listed last night, but may have it showing soon or just not at all. The situation for both Bandai kits and Macross licensing are what led to hlj possibly being the only one showing this item. Hobbysearch hasn’t even been able to show gundam kits in their gundam kits section for a while now. It’s the fact that this particular item falls under two difficult categories. One, it’s a Bandai model kit and two, it’s not a wwm release. due to the restrictions on the first by Bandai you are only allowed one purchase of the kit and decals for the kit which adds to the complication for my plans of buying two or three of these to have displayed in each mode

    I know it’s in the character design, but the little wingy feet look super silly in live action.

    The more I see of that hg Vifam, the more I want it. Hope they do new versions of some of the other ones from this show. Re releasing those old ones does bring back memories. I used to have a little hobby shop around the late 80’s early 90’s called Tomcat hobbies and the owner would sometimes find these as well as some other older anime kits. He would buy them off of sellers that were often military that were based overseas and he’d resell those in the shop. Pre internet was really a different time for buying mecha kits.

    The difficulty isn’t as much this being a Macross item as much as it is a Bandai kit. They still have an issue with allowing other sites to sell their kits outside of Japan. That’s really the main issue here. The secondary one is that I don’t think that this will be a world wide release. That may make hlj the only place that I’ve found to get these. This doesn’t seem to be a super hot item like a dx toy, and they do get regular shipments of kits so they may have quite a few extras at day of sale or at least will do more orders after the initial preorders are filled. Unfortunately that probably means no discount for extras. I do hope I’m wrong and U.S. stores are allowed to carry these kits and decals, but I haven’t seen any yet. U.S.A. Gundam Store already had preorders for the new gundam and kyoukai senki along with all the other standard releases earlier this weekend before hlj even listed them. The only items they didn’t list were the decals and YF-19 kit.

    I think they’re hoping for a broader customer base. The 1/72 kits were aimed at more complex builders and the dx toys were for the collectors that didn’t mind spending a lot. These are aimed at the simple builder or younger kids that probably would easily break a transforming kit.

    According to hlj both the kit and decals will be released at the end of this coming January

    Didn’t see it listed at amiami, anyone else know a good source for this kit that sells outside Japan?
  20. Big s
    I doubt it’s forgotten or canceled outright. I was just noticing that there’s a disclaimer on the new kits that Bandai might not send the promised amount and future restocks would go first to those that preordered. Someone else recently brought that up in this thread recently, but it’s the first time I noticed it since I pretty much had to go through hlj to get the hg yf-19 and decal set. by the way there’s some new decals for those kits and a few side story shows as well for preorder

    To be fair in The Clem shows defense, they aren’t just taking a little cash but enough to practically collapse a government and possibly support a rebellion

    Maybe if possible do quick video in a changing angle to capture the metallic shimmer. Sometimes it works and other times not so much

    29 is cool, but not one of my favorites. I’d have to really love the look of the kit for that one. I was hoping they’d stick to plus for a while and he the vf-11 and yf-21 . Hopefully they’ll return to plus and maybe do something else interesting like Macross2 . I don’t know how likely it would be to do the og stuff, but I wouldn’t mind a vf1 either.
  24. Big s
    Might have a tough time if you’re not in Japan, since not too many others allow sale outside of Japan on these kits
  25. Big s
    I was stuck with the swirly at the processing order part for a while. I think everything finally went through. They only allow 1per order, which is kinda annoying for what I want to do with this but I also expected it since that’s how they do all the other Bandai kits lately
