  1. James Cameron/Robert Rodriguez did a decent enough job on Alita honestly, they might be able to handle a macross movie. As for M7 though... On one hand you could condense the series considerably without losing anything, on the other not sure if you could condense it into movie length.
  2. The shields reject anything over a certain velocity, so training to both strike just slow enough to penetrate the shield, plus training to be able to actually hit someone with such a slow strike. From the early lessons with Gurney, there’s a focus on feints and counters.
  3. Can confirm the custom weathered DX Roy (+SSP) I got from @Red Comet is quite nice. Not cel-shaded like the LEK customs, but still a nice weathering job plus extra decals.
  4. I’ve been hoping for a Bandai 1/72 VF-31A… I guess it’s a lot more likely we’ll see the 31-AX as a model kit, since they’re hero units. Would have been nice to have a kit without all the ridiculous stickers/decals though!
  5. Well, you are on Macross World, aren't you?
  6. It looked like there were two versions of the figure, a lower cost and a higher cost one. Im going to wait and see if a second version shows up for pre-order, and what it has.
  7. The ratcheting pivots for the engines are a very nice improvement, as the older version had a tendency to sag.
  8. There are triangle replacements, not aware of anything done for the knees though.
  9. They don't release all of the non-HG metal builds, GFFMCs, or Chogokins in the US. Probably going to be quite a while before any Macross ones make it to the US officially. I'm just hoping we get access to the Web Exclusives, since a lot of those for Gundam have started to show up on the US website.
  10. Probably trying to rebuild their customer base, after how much they've absolutely ****ed tanked their reputation recently.
  11. Luna Park had an issue with DHL shoving all their stuff into bags for shipping, rather than boxes, didn't they? They might be changing how they ship items, and you got stuck waiting for the transition.
  12. Well, I've got work in the morning, so I just gave in and paid Luna Park $309 shipped for one. Oh well, at least pay ahead of time isn't so bad when the exchange rate's decent.
  13. Well, that's the first time I've struck out. Oh well, guess I'll have to trade one of my doubles for it or something.
  14. Same atCDJapan. Messed up and was in the shower at midnight...
  15. Just under 3 hours, it's at 4pm JST, right? That's midnight PST, and 3AM EST.
  16. Considering 3D printed started with homemade hobbyist builds, I wonder if anyone's designed and built their own decal printer?
  17. You know you want to, just need to find a justification 😉
  18. Wow, yeah, that’s quite a bit thicker. Guess that’s the price we pay for beefy arms rather than noodles.
  19. ...I got mine from P-Bandai us website. Tried via a proxy, but they filled their orders.
  20. I like the new arms, significant improvement with the larger and bulkier profile there.
  21. I like the new arms, my biggest problem with the look of the VF-31 was always the tiny spindly arms.
  22. Also depends on the release. web exclusives are almost always pay up front, while normal releases are by retailer. The ones selling at msrp are almost always pay on release for those.
