    I was just thinking about Arcadia's announcement that @no3Ljm further explained in depth.. Since you guys are discussing about the possibilities of the YF-19, will the YF-21 be a option (or has the reigns been given to Bandai)? Edit: I think that Bandai has gotten a fair grab in this as they have the DX YF-19 with all the goodies and the fold booster, however they haven't issued the YF-21 yet. Only Yamato has made the YF-21 for Macross Plus and the VF-22 for Macross 7.

    Do you want a Tron Legacy Light Cycle @no3Ljm? Make sure that you have enough funds for this.. Note: Unfortunately the seller is located overseas in H.K. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/TRON-LEGACY-SAM-FLYNN-WITH-LIGHT-CYCLE-HOTTOYS-HOT-TOYS-MMS142-FIGURE-ES-AQ2958/352394146686?hash=item520c53f37e Here's a snippet of what I read in the Sideshow Collectors forum about the HT Tron Legacy 1/6th figures being cancelled. Wor-Gar: "I'm really sad HT dropped this line, and that Disney dropped the movies. I was hoping for Rizler and his bike." Marine Boy: "Plans for a sequel were shelved when Disney acquired Star Wars. Look at the mess they made of that. The figures themselves were disappointing. Kevin Flynn was a lacklustre release and the figure on the bike was essentially a statue. The bike itself is cool, my only gripe is that the spinning "engine" does not light up. If they had made Clu, Quorra or Sam Flynn as normal figures, the line would have done better." GipettoO812: "Totally agree. HT dropped the figures and SS dropped all their intent on a series of statues. The sad part is, with the new tech they're using on Black Panther's suit to make it glow depending on lighting without using LEDs would be great to come back to this license and make articulated figures. Except we know they won't do it." Not to veer off the thread: LEGO ideas has made the Tron Legacy set..

    I'm not that fussy.. I rather see the updated samples of Ivanoff first as I know that Nora and the CF versions are in the pipeline afterwards like Yamato's.

    The next plucky droid (life size) after R2. http://news.toyark.com/2018/07/05/star-wars-bb-8-life-size-figure-by-sideshow-304849 However there is a few things that they could add (see Dukefett's post). Edit: Didn't see these until I went back a few pages. http://news.toyark.com/2018/07/05/concept-art-captain-america-1-6-scale-figure-by-hot-toys-304689 http://news.toyark.com/2018/07/05/tchaka-black-panther-1-6-scale-figure-by-hot-toys-304665

    Hopefully that we'll get some physical news of the SV-51 soon (and NOT another posterboard of Ivanoff's valk). Edit: Maybe a pair of intake covers as well?

    Took out the 1/48 Strike Hikaru from the box added Strike/Supers (sans missiles and sunburnt) and the fully decked out 1/60 Yammie SV-51 Nora for comparisons. In my eyes, the 1/48 looks more in scale with the Sukhoi SU-27 (on which the 51 is based on).

    I can see the amazement if Mirage was done in the same scale as Klan Klang ( and if Megahouse decides to).

    Your pic of the v.2 1/60 Hikaru @Slave IV makes me want to open my my copy of the 1/48 Hikaru and add on the Super/Strike parts which are still in the respected boxes and take snaps of it (only opened up and checked for all contents when it got sent to YVR).

    The Draken is more affordable now, however the Lil'Draken add ons are getting sparser (that's not counting the ones for the 31). I'm waiting for either the Elvis Ha or Mirage's/Cannon fodder Ba variants.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I'm actually in the same boat as @Matt Random although I did see Collection DX's review on the 31j first before I did the transformation on my copy of Mirage's 31c. It's that "U" assembly that got me totally spaced out as Chris (?) did mention it and I clued out when putting it back into valk mode, then I looked at the instructions after having trouble with it for two hours. As for the 171EX Alto, I watched multiple vids before doing the transformation on my copy as I did read and hear that it was super frustrating (good thing that I passed on the 262). Those arm joints are freaking super tight and only cracked one of the two guiding pins for the wing exchange however the canopy hinge broke off at the joint where it was connected at the pin. My fault as I put too much pressure on the cover and got a second copy at a discount as it was sunburned.. Don't matter to me as I will kit bash it with the first one and add weathering effects on it.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    You know what could be the other issue? This.. The two "U" shaped bracket which makes the head to sit in its normal position is not pointed towards the back of head while in valk mode. Not knowing about this and having the upside down "U" pointing downwards can case gaps while in valk mode. Trust me.. It happened to me while I was doing the transformation from battriod to valk without looking at the instructions first. Was having a hard time to make two sides flush and it popped out of place.. Struggled with it for at least two hours and the looked at the pic, then I saw the error and no damages done to the valk, just small paint chippages present. Aye Crumba! That's what happens when you don't look at the instructions first.

    You got the four Turtles in Training, Mousers, Foot Solders and Metalhead; that's a good start right there. Usagi is not the best overall IMO, however a little paint on a few spots will make a difference. Get: Leatherhead (alligator) Maybe: Weedhead, Kirby the bat and the Psycho Looking Squirrel. The bottom three of Fishface, April and Dogpound are not that great. *Do not get Casey Jones, Baxter Stockman as that looks terrible as well! To bad that you're not in either in the States or Canada, otherwise you can pick and choose your own TMNT figures.. Good to see your spotlight on Maz's blog on TFsource. Here's the back of Usagi's Packaging. The ones from the first and second run of Playmates TMNT figures are a must get. Edit: Happy Canada Day to you (as you're from Edmonton originally).

    Got this yesterday from Wal-mart while doing a quick run of needed stuff. Last one on the shelf and also I'm a Stan Sakai fan! @tekering: You might want to keep your eye's open for this..

    Was flipping through the BBTS pre-order page and saw this.. This is one way to scare to crap out you in the dark! Note: It's not Mumm-ra or Eddie (from Iron Maiden) http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/76279 or http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/76281

    borgified replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Nexx might be a possible purchase. Going to see further pics before dropping the funds since the leg armour for gun storage has gotten my interest.

    Another post.. Milia (Q-Rau) and Mirage (Supers and stock hand attachments sans missiles). Edit: Upload newer pic

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Interestingly enough.. I haven't seen this posted here. Thanks for the review @jenius!

    Just tell that to the folks that got another DX 31f for the Messer/Hayate figure combo.. Besides.. It's their money and they're inclined to do what ever they choose. That's a good idea and for those who wants another option for the same product. Not to derail the thread further as an example: I pre-ordered a 1/6th scale figure back in March and had to select two options - Regular or the Deluxe version of the Pop Toys Warrior Women Series: The Butterfly Helmet Warrior (either in Red or Black). I wanted the regular option, but got the deluxe version in Red as the extras made more displaying options for me. Not going to post pics of the said product, but I'm sure that you can find it.

    You want a Anakin to recreate the saber battle with Obi-wan from Episode 3? Then this might be your lucky day.. http://news.toyark.com/2018/06/22/hot-toys-revenge-of-the-sith-dark-side-anakin-skywalker-303293

    Well... If collectors have serious money to spend, then why not right? I got in into Macross collecting in November of last year and just focused on the ones that just want and catches my interest. Never bought a second copy of the same valk [except for another 171EX Alto as I really beat the crap out of the first copy and wanted a second one to put the armour parts on and put on display. Got it at a slightly discounted price at mid 14K yen as it was sunburnt (discoloured) and may add weathering detail to make it more unique and to kit bash it with my first version]. Everyone has their own reasons why they get multiple copies of the same valks..

    If that was an added bonus then I might re-consider..

    Looks like that I'm the only one doing the updates on 1/6th stuff?? For both Iron Man and Tron fans --> http://news.toyark.com/2018/06/25/iron-man-mark-iv-neon-tech-armor-hot-toys-summer-convention-exclusive-303453 Based on Megaprime33's post on the thread: $345 USD or more.. Ouch!

    Someone's wallet is crying in pain at the sight of this. http://news.toyark.com/2018/06/22/hot-toys-revenge-of-the-sith-dark-side-anakin-skywalker-303293 (Note: Not mine as I still have an pre-order of a 1/6th figure to pay off in a few months time if it does arrive into YVR). Forgot to add these as well. http://news.toyark.com/2018/06/21/pre-order-info-for-supreme-action-figure-t2-t-800-figure-303258 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/75660 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/75160
