  1. Might be a side-effect of shipping in battroid form. More stress on the joint that way, whereas in fighter there's a few more pegs holding everything together.
  2. I remember being at the EAA Airventure convention in Oshkosh, listening to Burt Rutan when a harrier took off and interrupted him. "Put enough thrust on any piece of $#!7 and it'll fly"
  3. Macross Plus already had an official US release many years ago, and is one of the most popular Macross series in the US. [edit] Mainly I was pointing out that there is no way for anyone outside Japan to see/have seen the new Delta movie until it comes out on disc. Whereas even for frontier, people have been able to get the discs and watch fansubs for many years.
  4. Probably at least in part because it's for a movie with no international release, whereas Delta TV/movie 1 was a while back and the disc releases had English subtitles.
  5. It's the three most recent non-TV/DYRL DX Chogokin releases, i.e. the most recent 3 releases they are allowed to sell in the US. Also there's a reason the Bandai YF-19 is going above MSRP, while the Arcadia is going below MSRP (or roughly at MSRP) despite being released longer ago. The Bandai is a solid figure.
  6. Yup, they posted like the first 5min of the film on youtube (region locked), and the SV-303 is shown on screen and named.
  7. Asked for VF-25, YF-21, and Tomahawk on my end, forgot to ask for a TV SDF-1.
  8. Got mine from Amazon Japan last Friday, they just threw it in a slightly oversized box with a single small sheet of crumpled brown paper and shipped it DHL. Miraculously, the DX box is essentially untouched... still wondering how that managed to happen.
  9. Since they just did the VF-1D, they could milk that double-cockpit mold for a VT-1 next.
  10. My order through an Amazon Japan reseller ($390 shipped) ought to show up Monday. Guess I ought to be glad my initial scalper reseller cancelled my order, saved $25...
  11. Yes, they did. Not the cheapest, but shipped via Amazon at least, so that wasn't too bad of a cost.
  12. Mine I ordered last night (after my earlier Amazon Japan seller cancelled...) ran $390 with Amazon shipping.
  13. FYI, the side-leg Missiles (the 4-packs) are removable.
  14. Totally fits, even on the stand, no problem.
  15. So, has anyone figured out what to do with the gunpod while it's in the armor?
  16. Just put up my Snow White over the weekend, takes up pretty much an entire Detolf shelf, and the wings are a bit restricted. So yeah, likes lots of display space.
  17. Got a pair of the add-ons in-hand, taking pictures now. Anyone have any questions on it?
  18. My armored part add-ons are out for delivery, should be able to get some images up later today.
  19. My proxy has shipped my 2x Armored packs (just armored pack, not combo). No estimated delivery date yet though, hopefully will get here sometime this week.
  20. About the only thing I can think of to make them better (stronger) would be to do low-volume silicone/sand mold or lost-wax casting. Would still end up costing more compared to 3D printing though.
  21. Looks like my proxy got my add-on sets in, forgot I'd ordered 2. Should be here later in the week, if they ship out soon.
  22. Well, estimate for delivery is Oct19-27th, so probably slow shipping. Says release is on the 25th.
  23. Yeah, the one that ships to the US, no idea how it's shipping but shall find out soon.
  24. Well, that convinced me to get the pack on Amazon Japan... The box looks damn nice with the windows and fold-open!
