My arcadia Hikaru Strike Valk just came in! Super excited to finally own this guy, for all the valks I've handled, this is my first time with a brand spanking new Yamcadia V2. Usually I go second hand lol. There are some newer releases that are more poseable, but Gramps here is still limber as ever! ========== 1). Maximum uploads of 3 pictures of a toy even if you bought two. That means if you bought DC Batman you can post a combination of boxed and opened pics of up to three here. Anymore than three will get the post deleted. If you bought another copy of the same DC Batman toy that does not constitute as a different toy and does not earn you three new photos. The moderation team considers that spamming and will be deleted. Text link to an external photo gallery if you have more than three pictures to share. 2). Image size: Height maximum per toy will now be set to 2400pixels for 3 pictures combined. That means one high resolution picture at 2400pixels or three decent resolution picture of 800pixels each.

The Pose+ makes me wanna look at past protos of theirs to see any deco differences between those and their released figures. I don't think they usually go this overboard on tampos, so I'm curious why they did so here.

Takara has already released an Exkaiser toy under this banner that I'd check out if you want to know more about the design philosophy. Obviously very different from a Legioss, but I imagine this will be the first Legioss that handles as robustly as a mainline Transformer if that's any sign of future toy quality.

Toyrise is a fairly expansive line, but the conceit with the Toyrise Braves has been to do (relatively) cheaper, more playable toys than their High End competitors. Btwn the undercarriage and the abundance of 5mm ports, it would seem that's the case with this Legioss too, which is pretty cool

I will also note! I ordered from the Sentinel shop recently, using a tenso warehouse address. If you pay with credit/debit then the charge will come shortly before the item ships, not right now. Just use a proxy that let's you pay directly instead of through them

Hey, for those of us who have ordered the store exclusive set from the sentinel store via proxy, does sentinel charge upfront, or will they ask for payment when the item ships? I'm thinking of using tenso to pick the TREAD up

New Macross Animation Announced, to be animated by Sunrise
DownIsUp replied to seti88's topic in Movies and TV Series
Imo, the only big loose thread left in my eyes is whatever the frakk was up with Lady M and Xaos, which probably won't be touched for the foreseeable future thanks to HG. With regards to the other shady organizations; everyone involved in the Vajra incident is paste on the walls of a ship that probably isn't even in the galaxy atm, Vindrance was the military equivalent of five dudes in a souped up van who blew up in Zettai Live, and the Epsilon Foundation is basically just Anaheim electronics from Gundam. For better or for worse, there's not a lot left to grapple with in a new show, barring a straight up sequel to Frontier, and even that isn't really tying up a loose end so much as emotional closure -
Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
DownIsUp replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
How much info is there about the Feios Valkyrie? It seems like an independently developed 4th gen fighter like that should probably be a bigger deal than it is, considering how difficult it would later prove to be for fully fledged colony fleets to develop their own proprietary fighter designs. I'm especially curious about the Avionics system. Macross mecha Manual mentions an Updated version of the Queadluun-Rau avionics was used; was its implementation in any way similar to the Yf-21's usage of Queadluun-Rau derived technology? -
This project continues to astound me every time you post more of it! How does it feel in hand to transform it?

Do we know if any Sv-51s or -52s sortied against Vf-1 Valkyries? I assume most of them had been packed up by UNS forces prior to the Vf-1's rollout but I wasn't sure -
Hoping that a lot of the fighter mode gaps are symptoms of pre-production models. I can handle a wonky looking fighter, but I at least want it to look solid

Looks sick! The tomahawk armor confirms my suspicions that the proportions on these guys are perfectly suited for armoring up. It's a shame that this is a robotech release because it means we'll never get a stampede armor set for these guys. Hopefully they have a few more original designs in the pipeline to fill that void

Did the occupation and civil war on Windermere involve Destroids or any other notable ground forces? I only ask because Widermere underwent such a massive leap in technology essentially overnight, thanks to NUNS not having their own prime directive. As such, I figure it would've been a very different conflict from the typical Zentraedi skirmishes which usually inform NUNS doctrine which saw the immediate obsolescence of Destroids; especially given both sides had a vested interest in taking and holding the planet -
