    Such a gorgeous machine. I really want to be able to display it in some action poses (leaping around, blasting enemies mid-air, etc...) and I'm pretty sure that display arm would fail at that. If it does, hopefully Yeti can come to the rescue. Something this nice deserves to be displayed in something more than a boring standing pose.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I always try to buy official products so I hadn't even considered the KO. But if the price between the two is pretty much the same it would be hard to choose the official. Also, with Noel indicating that the KO color is a closer match (they look the same in the pictures though) that's another point for the KO. I just know that the KO 00 would be forever in a box somewhere as I don't have the real estate to display two 00's and I can't get past my OCD to sell off parts of a toy I don't use.

    I'm curious about this too. I was planning to pick up an 0 Raiser if they look good together.

    This will probably be my first and only premium purchase. I won't be getting them for the VF-1's as they wouldn't match any of the Yamato's in my collection. No issue with that here. As long as it is $500 or less I'll order it with no hesitation. More than that... and I'll order it with some hesitation.

    Thanks for the link - that was helpful. So since it seems that GFFMC doesn't have as much metal I'm assuming it doesn't have the same heft. Based on that assumption how stable are GFFMC when posed without the stand? One of the things that is drawing me to purchase more Metal Builds is that the low body weight from the metal makes them very stable, even in highly dynamic poses.

    What is the difference between GFFMC and Metal Build? I've only recently received my first Metal Build, with a couple more on the way. I've also considered adding a Unicorn and now this Wing 0 but only if they are of similar build quality to Metal Build.

    Nice pics. Looking at them helps to pass the time until I get mine.
  8. Boobytrap
    Nice paint scheme. Definitely adds some visual interest to it.

    Also save $10 when you buy 1 or more. Talk about savings! Its practically a steal. I'll leave it to you to determine who's the one doing the stealing.

    Oh cool. Did I miss it in the description or can you tell from the pictures?

    Thanks for sharing your pics Jenius. For a product so close to release that Legioss was really underwhelming. Looked more like a pre 2000's unpainted model kit. Maybe one day Mospeada will get the love it deserves.
  12. Boobytrap
    I'll take one of those, painted or not. No way I could pass up an upscaled HMR regult. Of course this is just a prototype so things may change but it looks like they won't be using any metal. Hopefully the knees will be sturdy enough with all of the pressure that gets applied to them and that it won't be too top heavy without metal in the feet..

    When I saw the first two pictures I thought they were selling these separately. Weird, but OK I'd probably get them. Then I continued looking down and saw they were selling them with those craptastic hunks of plastic. No sale.
  14. Boobytrap
    Not bad. I would have preferred that they skipped the clear panels and interior details to keep the cost down though. Part of the appeal of 3P is the more affordable cost. I'll wait for some reviews but if the quality is decent and the price is right (around $100 or less) I'll probably get one.
  15. Boobytrap
    I stand corrected. I guess they can be pretty cool sometimes. At least when it comes to Gundam...

    Hi-Metal R

    Boobytrap replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Woo hoo, thanks MW for the heads up on the VF-2SS. Got one from HLJ. Work started blocking figinstock for some stupid reason . I'm constantly getting restock notices about the HMR VF-1J from HLJ but cant go to the site to turn off the notifications.
  17. Boobytrap
    I'm surprised that they changed the color of blue as well. I thought that part of the reason for them selling the GN Sword II Blaster separately was so that people who purchased the original 00 7S could get an upgrade to the 7S/G without have to buy a whole new figure. Silly me for thinking Bandai would be that cool.

    I pretty much have the same goal (just not limited to VF-1's), but it's not an end goal. I stopped collecting in the early 2000's and only got back into it in the last year and a half so had a lot of catching up to do. My first goal was to get one of each model number. I've been able to do that except for the YF-21. My next goal is the same as yours, get one of each model letter for each model number. If I ever reach that goal I'll start collecting color schemes/pilots I like. Purchasing this way I feel that I have been able to focus my collecting better and not feel like I am missing out on too much.
  19. Boobytrap
    Not really interested in this, which is too bad. I want to support Arcadia releasing kits, but without a VF-0 I can customize along with the RA I just don't see the need to get it. Hopefully enough other people purchase this to encourage Arcadia to release other kits. I will be pretty though if they release a VF-0 kit after this has sold out.
  20. Boobytrap
    Well sure, I agree. Something 100% completely new would be the most ideal. That of course would entail a lot more risk from Arcadia's POV to turn a profit, which makes it far more unlikely. So barring that, I'm just asking that they stretch their wings a little further than they have been.
  21. Boobytrap
    Yeah - by low viz I mean something more in line with the 1/48 version. I know these are just fantasy planes but I just love them when they are decked out in colors that are more reminiscent of real life fighters. I've had to wipe off drool more than a few times with some of the customs I have seen.
  22. Boobytrap
    I can't complain with all of the re-releases and Macross 0 upgrades that they have been doing as I have needed to add them to my collection in one form or another. But when is Arcadia going to go out an a limb even a little and give us something we haven't seen before. The VF-0 armor parts are about all we have gotten from them. I'm sure there are more than a few of us that have passed on their releases because of a 'been there, done that' feeling. Raise your hand if you would jump at the chance for a VF-1 Low Viz, Minmay guard, Alaska base; a VF-11 Low Viz, Raven colors; a VF-17 Milia; a VF-19 Low Viz, Raven colors and so on low viz and so on low viz and so on low viz... I know that licensing is always going to be a hurdle but surely they could get their hands on at least one of these while still making a profit.

    Glad to know EE still had it for PO. I was going to wait for release date and stalk all the regular vendors hoping someone cancelled or go through YJA. They are charging more than retail, but with free shipping (and CA sales tax ) it works out to be about what I would have paid for it to get it shipped from overseas. To be able to have peace of mind I'm willing to wait a little longer to get it.
  24. Boobytrap
    As much as I would prefer an SDFM version this is better than nothing. Will definitely get it, depending on price, as I missed out the first time. While the chances are probably zero that an SDFM version is ever made maybe, just maybe, Arcadia will make one if this sells well enough.
  25. Boobytrap
    Quite a nice (and expensive) delivery you got there. Hope you got a good deal.
