Primaris have replaced normal space marines. GW made everything bigger so it was easier to paint and construct. Purely a business decision that they wrote into the lore. They brought one of the Primarchs back and he had a secret project with a 10k year old Tech Priest to make stronger marines. I assumed their older lines weren't selling so well, and a lot of new war gaming lines are bigger models.

any idea how the po is gonna work? I feel like it will be like mondo where they make some random post on FB and you'll miss it lol
-
Anybody know when this is coming? This is a must have for me.
-
Oh well. Gave it a shot. Ill see if any come up around release. Always other things I can spend my money on
-
Damn. I got through in HLJ, got my paypal in and now it kicked me back out saying this order is stop status.
-
One or more products' stock status and/or price have changed. Please refresh your shopping cart.

So no preorder tonight?

I think it will sell well. This kind of toy appeals to casuals and the Hik sold like gangbusters. It's big, has metal, and looks amazing. I don't know many people that wanted the Hik will double dip though... BUT they are the same price as an Arcadia 1/60 give or take. To me it's a much better value. The TV valks look great in Bat mode but, as fighters there is just too much white. I am sure it was a conscience choice to keep animation simple but they look kind of boring.
-
It's not an apology. that's the point. It will never happen because to sell these things they have to reach a profit point. I guess the point wooshed over you head a bit. My point is that some diecast here, and some painting there is pennys... but paying people to paint something by hand is labor intensive and cost prohibitive.
-
would it be cheap though? It's labor intensive yes? The materials are cheap, but applying it to thousands of units would cost.

I'd say it comes down to your budget, your display options, and patience. Collecting takes years so you have to plan for the long term. With collecting it's always good to restrict it down to what you like the most and have some discipline. I got rid of my Yamatos because they are already dated, and the scale isn't what I want for display. I think 1/60 lends itself to collecting an entire line more than 1/48, BUT with the market you end up paying hundreds for both sizes. I think the Bandai Valks just win in every respect except the waist partsforming and not having missiles. It has diecast. It has a ton of detail. It has better articulation. It looks amazing in every mode. I plan to buy about 4 or 5 1/48 Bandai DX valks and part them out and call it a day. Get a Roy, maybe a Max. Some super parts and Box armor and then be done.
-
Once to get them in the display mode I want. Then again to sell them whenever I decide to. I pose them maybe once or twice a year haha
-
Oh yeah.. Starfire is teen titans. I just watched that show. lol.
-
Having Starfire Jetfire as a kid.. this is the update/reboot I've always wanted. The feet and overall weight of the thing is kind of orgasmic. Yamatos were a great, precise engineering feat, but this feels like a deluxe Toy on every front. Dat nose cone though. So perfect.
-
I can't wait to get this. Sold my last two Yamatos and this is def the VALK I want to own right now. Looks so much better on the shelf at that size.
-
So are they doing the 1/48 size first to engineer out a medium range like Yamato did? Do you think they will do these for a few years and then do a 1/60 size?
-
Are these going up for sale anywhere else, or is ebay my only bet at this point?
-
HLJ is going to give me a refund. Sigh. I'm ready to be done and get this crap out of my house haha
-
Yes this is the second one that HLJ mailed me. Just not dealing with it anymore. Can't leave this much money tied up in a pos like this. It will probably break in other places in a few months and I'll be fraked. Beyond angry.
-
Welp. I'm done with threeZero now and forever. The replacement that they sent me has a split in the left arm bicep and the socket popped out after rotating it twice. This is pretty much scam level of bad. I've never been this pissed off at a toy company. DO NOT BUY THREEZERO. They are scam artists. It's cheap, poorly designed crap that has a nice paint job. Send it back and get refunds now before it crumbles on your desk.
-
I got the shoulder piece replacement a few days ago. I can't say I'm impressed with them taking 4 weeks to ship a tiny part, but oh well. At least I'll have it as a backup and they sent it. My replacement from HLJ with the whole new toy is almost here. HLJ also paid for return (Already reimbursed me) and outgoing shipping. All total they are taking a pretty big hit just from shipping on 3zero's bad QA.
-
Not usually one for deformed toys but the design just wins.
-
I told HLJ I was shipping it back for a replacement. They said they had none in stock... so I sent them a link to their page showing they had some in stock. haha. They said it was for another location and they would reserve one for me. Anyway, it's packed up and ready to go back. Hope the new one isn't loosey goosey.
-
I decided to ship it back for a replacement to HLJ. The 3Zero support process is a joke. It takes a few weeks for them to get the part? and a few weeks to ship it? I can have a new one and mail the old one back to HLJ by then. Hell I remember when the 3rd party voltron had some joint problems, they mailed me replacement parts in the same week. If that one is broke I'll consider just ending it and sending it back for a refund.
-
Ill check it out. I have to wait 4 weeks for the replacement. Still waiting on HLJ to respond haha. HLJ got back to me: Trying to decide if I should do a return and hope I win the lottery and get one that isn't broken, or work with the replacement. or just go full refund and not bother with threezero again haha. --- Great review Jenius. I do agree that since it is mostly a display piece that I probably won't fiddle with that often it's the best version out there. It clearly looks the best. That doesn't mean I don't want a whole working toy that isn't broken though haha. Also, my problem with the DMZ toys are the hands. They are some of the worst hands on a toy I've ever had. I like that smaller scale but.. Yeah.
