    Hi-Metal R

    I checked that page and the price for regult at cd japan is $47, not bad.
  2. I couldn't wait, I started clipping out some parts on the Scopedog and noticed that you have the option of a fully loaded kit or a bare bones one, but you have to drill holes in spots like the sides of the torso or the left arm If you want to put on the extra equipment. Also if you are going to fill in the seams you have a choice of parts for the shoulder. Before building this kit you have to decide if you want the equipment on or not before building it, but there are parts to build 4 kits, the only plates that aren't copied are the primary weapon runners.

    I really like when an action figure comes with a stand. I live in SoCal where quakes happen often and sometimes my figures have had too much to drink.
  4. I just got the wave scope dog turbo custom 1/35 4 pack in the mail today. I haven't had time to start building and probably won't until some other projects get finished. I did take a look inside and the parts apear to be a bit smaller than the rabidly dog, but the construction looks almost the same. The finished pictures look good, there are enough parts to build 4 fully loaded kits. There seem to be only one of each main weapon, but the accessories apear to to have enough parts to load out all 4 kits just with different primary weapons. There are also parts for 4 different characters in standing pose. The foot construction is top half bottom half instead of side to side like the rabidly dog. Unfortunately there is no full cockpit even though the top opens up just like the standard rabidly dog and there is no downform, but there is a gimmick to bring down the extra turbo wheel thing in the back of the leg. These will probably look really good in standing and action display, but I would have really liked them to at least have something to put inside the torso since the upper body has the joints to open up. I don't know if the seat from the premium version of the rabidly dog kit will fit this, but if it does I'm sure some one could make a copy or scratch build the rest of the inside. It does look like it has the inside side walls oddly enough.
  5. I have the volks 1/100 bang and it's a good size kit,but space is getting limited so the 1/144 ones may be the ones for me. The batshu does look great and the a-tol looks impressive to me so I may have to get them before their gone. That terror mirage will still be my next buy.
  6. The volks web site shows an A-tol at 1/144scale ims kit. I was wondering if anyone had anything good to say about the 1/144 batshu.
  7. This question always makes for fun arguments. Most of the time in animation when a vf1 is in a scene with a zentraidi soldier or pilot they are more or less the same size, while sometimes the mecha will be a mix of the same height or will appear as a towering machine almost twice the height. The manual pics show the zentraidi being a mix of height from just over waist high to a vf1 for pilots and others like Breetai being closer to the same height and other characters being even bigger. I guess you just have to choose the scale on personal taste. Personally I like the idea of the zentraidi being about the height of the valkyrie. It just makes them seem more menacing.
  8. Just got my kakashi from naruto in the mail. The knee covers over the joints are loose on mine and fall off in extreme poses. I'm going to glue them on. There's not much as far as weapons go just 2 kunai an effects part and his porno. The hip joints have an interesting way of hiding joints. And has some extra hands and a couple extra faces. It's a fun one for naruto fans
  9. I would like to see a revive of gp01to capture more of the anime feel as well. I'd also like to see the f2 zaku redone and a xamel for once. Maybe I'm asking too much from bandai for a xamel.
  10. The preview looks entertaining and early audience screenings have good reviews so I may check this out now that there is a bit of a pre dead pool slowdown.
  11. Their human faces do look bad, but the aliens look good.
  12. I have seen their alien figures and they look cool but after getting the revoltech one for the original I haven't got around to these. I would like to hear some good reviews before I buy anything from this line.

    After seeing the non bandai vf2ss the hmr version may be an interesting item and I really hope that it gets made along with some of the other prototypes that have been teased.
  14. That old Imai kit was a neat set. If I remember it was a 4 mode in one box set with battroid, fighter, gerwalk and fighter with just the legs down. I had seen a few dioramas of it.
  15. I really love the instruction art in those older kits. I wish bandai would make a gp01 that looks more like it.

    Bandai 1/35 DX VF-1

    I probably won't be able to afford this item, but I am extremely interested in it. Hopefully they put out some details soon.

    I just took a look at that motor city toys page and they were a bit high priced, but not as much as some others. They do seem to have a shipping discount if you spend over $150 that could help people that have trouble getting a preorder. I have never ordered from them and didn't know the site existed but they have an interesting selection of items.
  18. Well I was hoping it wouldn't be a parts former, if the end product looks good with out loose parts that fall off I'll still want to buy them. Do you buy a fighter and a battroid or is everything you need in one package?
  19. I was just reading an article about this Stormtrooper and turns out he not only has a designation but a nickname too. Nines ( probably for the double 9's) and does have some back story in one of the books. I never would have known if this thread weren't around I might not have got the curiosity to google it.
  20. The fact that it has a really cool figure with an amazing robot makes me want this. I just hope I can afford it when it comes out.
  21. If he did survive he needs a promotion and some awesome custom armor, because all Phasma did was get konked on the head gave up the enemy base and ultimate space weapon then got thrown out with the garbage. Hopefully If Phasma survived she can make up for her massive failure and do something besides being amazing eye candy.
  22. Seems that we are losing too many great music legends this season. It's really bringing me down. Time to pull out the classics in memory again.
  23. That riot Stormtrooper was definitely the most capable storm trooper ever on the big screen.
