  1. With the Flashback 2012 VF-4 coming out, I think I only really want a PF VF-1J GBP and a VF-1A Brownie. I'll probably get a VT-1 should they do one though.

    Mandarake Complex is basically the entire building. They have different product types on different floors. AmiAmi and Jungle occupy maybe 2 to 3 floors of different buildings. So in the Akihabara Radio Kaikan building above, I believe they occupy the 4th and 5th floor only. The aisle between the shelves are also narrow. Maybe around 60 cm (25 in) which seems common. Not my Video: If you go there and want to buy something, you need to pay for it on that floor before moving to the next floor.
  3. The show seems to be headed that way as well. I'm not sure how they intend to resolve everything.

    There are no stripes on the first sleeve. That's someone else's arm!
  5. They finally make it to the basement and find out how screwed they really are.

    Mandarake Complex in Akihabara back in February. "Store Front items" And just because: one of several AmiAmi brick and mortor stores in Akihabara:

    I think shipping alone was something like $50 to $70 US Dollars when I bought mine. Forum topics are riddled with stories of damaged or lost purchased and the trials of getting a replacement or refund. Well maybe more in the DX YF-19 topic. Long story short: The seller is responsible for making the claim. Getting them to submit a claim is the challenge. And with the nature of this hobby, availability of replacements becomes a big issue as well.
  8. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the next mom arc. Its definitely not a shoe I'd recommend. As for myself, I'm currently about halfway through Gundam X and I started Cyborg 009 (2001) to fill in the time between shows during the current season.
  9. I rarely read the source material, but I agree. Almost everything unique and interesting about the show is largely gone by the end of the 1st season. Whether or not the 2nd season is interesting enough to continue watching we will see. A 3rd season seem a real stretch, but again, we'll see.
  10. The MOSPEADA fans here are extremely hopeful that the Sentinel/T-REX design will be the best Legioss ever. There is yet no Tread announcement, but we have seen some difficult to explain connection points on the Legioss samples. The assumption is that if the Legioss sells well the Tread will follow in the future and use those mysterious connection points. T-REX involvement always seems to bump up the retail price for the end product.
  11. Strictly based on my experience, to most people their job is just a job. Passion and care for a project is solely based on their personal pride or love for their job.
  12. I really don't know why, but it kinda reminds me of this:
  13. I'm assuming you know about screw extractors, but in case you don't: The difficult part will be finding a set small enough for the screws you want to remove.
  14. The folded antenna hinge hints at the size this thing is going to be. On the smaller side it appears.
  15. Robotech wasn't about a race of an ancient sentient alien plants called "Protoculture" that were being burned as fuel?
  16. I would think that it would be disassembled by the transporters or replicators and stored as raw materials for whatever is replicated next. Last night's dinner can be today's lunch, your new pillow, or the replacement hull plate.
  17. For me, if you can transport people without any side effects, there is very little you cannot do. Why can you not transport up a dead crewman, rebuild then in the buffer from the image made when they transported down and essentially bring them back to life. There should be nothing you cannot reproduce provided it can fit in a transporter.

    Lack of display space aside, I wonder how much shipping will be. I also wonder what shipping insurance will cover. That's going to be a extremely large heavy box!
  19. There are some people that believe that heat is the major contributor to yellowing plastic. From basic chemistry classes, heat does accelerate several chemical reactions. In the case of my HCM VF-1J, I believe that to be the major source of it's yellowing. I kept it in the closet and the closet got hot in the afternoon.
  20. This discussion is making me think that since Reflex Point is in Canada, the human looking Inbit should be based on the local population. It's got me thinking Strange Brew.
  21. Most of my VF-1 are normal releases they're more anime accurate and all. I'm all for proper aircraft markings, but I would think Valkyries based on OverTechnology, that can do a tuck and roll without damage, really shouldn't have "NO STEP" all over them. That being said, PF sure are pretty. It was a tough decision to pass on them. PF only releases resolve that dilemma for me.
  22. Would it be fair to say that the majority of Tatsunoko's talent left with Production I.G when they split off?
