Hi-Metal R

2 hours ago, RDX17 said:It feels like we've already passed an announcement for April at this point, as they usually happen around the 20th of each month. So I'm guessing a May announcement.
And, based on the recent interview with Julian Oreska, I think it's going to be the Phalanx or the Tomahawk.
I am hoping for the Tomahawk. I want a squad of three on my desk shooting everything. I wonder if the missile effects could be use with them...

Pre-ordered at HLJ. I am sure I will have other items to ship with Milia by the time September comes. That was a very easy pre-order, much nicer than trying to get bandai stuff.
Just need that Max pre-order and I will be all set.

Hopefully next we will yes the Elintseeker rerelease. I can't see Arcadia releasing another VF with their current schedule.
-
I am reserving judgement on the premium VF until Hikaru is released. I would like to see direct comparisons of the final products between the premium and the regular.
-
Oh Wow!!! I am definitely getting both. I like the color saturation Arcadia is going with and I hope they turn out good. I never had a chance to get the Yamato 1/60 M&M so this is awesome news. And as long as the super parts look good I am ok with them not matching the series 100%. The color on the super parts changes so much I feel going by the movie is better. It would be nice if there was a record of when the show was being drawn and there where notes on what the super parts were supposed to look like.
Looks like I am getting more VF-1s than VF-31s this year.

One of the hard points on my Arcadia VF-1S has gotten a little sloppy, causing too much play and not enough friction for the missiles. It will still tab in and I can display it but the smallest bump makes it swivel around. I was thinking of using a toothpick and applying a dab of Testors model glue inside to tighten it up but thought I'd get some input and advice from my fellow Macross colllectors. Any and all suggestions are needed, thanks.
I would try using Pledge Future polish first. It shouldn't damage the plastic and works as a good thickening agent. I have used on several figures and models.

Never received an order confirmation email so it looks like it did not go through. And the search continues
Thats a bummer. HLJ might get more in tomorrow like they did with the Bandai Macross figures.
Good luck.

Not a problem buddy!!! To be honest, I just woke up, checked the hlj website and boom it was there! Just luck I guess! Now to cancel my order from bbts!!!! F their $214.99 asking price!!! $150ish before shipping through HLJ and they have a fed ex shipping option of $15ish!!! This just made my Friday!!
Same here dude, I have a pre-order with The Chosen Prime just to make I got a copy. I am super happy I managed to get one from HLJ instead of paying the $214. It is awesome Friday, got the F91 at an amazing price and going to the Power Rangers movie later today.
And that is some luck you got!

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully it comes in soon. Can't sleep not knowing haha. And it did show $150ish when I chose PW. And did it say that you do not have to pay at this moment? I chose the option to pay once the item is ready
With the Private Warehouse you pay when the item is in stock. So you and I will be charged later today or in the evening. That is usually when my bank account through paypal gets hit. As long as you get the order confirmation you should good and the other notifications (item is the private warehouse and purchase notifications) will come later.
Personally I haven't had any problems with HLJ.

Man I'm not sure if I was able to secure an order or not. Haven't received an email notification yet. Gahhhhh
My order confirmation took awhile to come through. Hope you did manage to get one. When I got mine the Yen to USD was $150-ish. Did that price show up for you too?

MB F91 available on HLJ!!!! Go now!!!
Thanks!!!! I was able to secure one before they sold out. Your post was ahead of the Figinstock alert, how long were you refreshing the page?
-
I have a pre-order for the Metal Build F91 with a U.S. seller but I am hoping that HLJ will have some extras since it will be cheaper from them.
How likely is that HLJ will have extras? Or at least enough copies that I purchase one Friday morning.

Hmm, I don't like the texture on that Spider-Man figure. It reminds me of the Mafex figures. In the new movies it doesn't even seem like it has that weird rough texture anyway.
I like the revoltech and marvel legends figures better. That texture seems to be added to all the higher end spider-man figures for some reason.

The only Gundam show I've watched is Gundam Wing, but after being at Japan a seing Gundam merch all over the place, I feel like watching another Gundam show.
Which ones would you recommend?
Gundam Origin is a good way to get into the Universal Century series. I would recommend reading the mangas if you can, I haven't watch the anime yet. 8th MS Team, War in the Pocket, and Stardust Memory are a must. Zeta Gundam and Char's Counter attack are good, but you should watch the Origin or the original Gundam Series to get the most out of them. Victory Gundam and F91 are also very good (F91 more so).
Gundam 00 is great as a stand alone series. G Gundam and Gundam X are worth a watch but aren't as good as Gundam 00 in my opinion.

At this point I just want a Calamity War movie or OVA, there's a much more interesting story hidden in the past we've yet to see.
I would love for them to do the Calamity War. Start at the beginning and depending on how long the war was supposed to be do some time jumps highlighting the progress. I think there is some real potential there that other gundam series haven't touched on. It would be awesome if season 2 ends with a cliff hanger and season 3 is the Calamity War. Then they could have some plot device during the Calamity War that would concluded the series in the fourth season.
Ahhh, wishful thinking.
2 hours ago, Archer said:Has Gundam (unless we're counting UC) ever had a season 3 proper? I suppose seed destiny could count, but wasn't that because seed was insanely (and still is) popular in Japan?
I wonder if IBO has reached that level of popularity...
None of the alternate universes (non-UC) have had more than two series and an OVA/movie, except for Seed. I believe you are right that Seed is very popular in Japan, like Gundam Wing in the States. And the separate UC series (original Gundam, Zeta, ZZ, Victory) only did two seasons. I would say the Universal Century has several series and each series was two seasons or less.

The Draken looks great but the transformation is something else.
I am definitely waiting to transform it until Jenius has a video posted. Any chance you could do transformation video to and from fighter mode?
-
So we have three episodes left and they have a ton of stuff to wrap up. I am almost expecting a three season from this series. Tekkadan have to survive/escape the Gjallarhorn fleet, most likely with Mika crushing most of the mobile suits and trashing the Barbatos. I think McGillis is going to turn on the Tekkadan in some way and Gaelio has unfinished business with him.
Even if Tekkadan/McGillis survives this initial wave on Mars they have to deal with Rustal and Julia. Not sure how they are going to give the series a satisfying conclusion in three episodes.

The Arcadia SV-51 Ivanov is supposed to be a new mold...
I hope so, I have seen reviews of the floppy Yamato version. I honestly think Arcadia needs to step their designs and include some ratchet joints.

Where did you pick your Scorponok from? I have it pre-ordered through The Chosen Prime but they are getting their shipment at the end of March.
Thank you for that scale picture because damn I did not know it was that big. I need more shelf space.

Yeah....... I think I will be skipping it. It looks really cool but there are other figures that I want to put my money toward. I was hoping for more destroid releases.
