    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
  6. DownIsUp
    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

    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

    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

    Wow, that came out of nowhere! Hoping this means a Ba type is still in the cards

    Dang, I was hoping to not spend much this month, but I have to have one of these lol.

    So, since Shapeways is apparently imploding as a company following their filing of chapter 7 bankruptcy, do you have any plans to post your files to another site? Your projects are some of the coolest and most important in the fandom! I hope to see them preserved :)

    Man this thing looks so sick. The proportions look a little odd in just a standard A stance, but it almost reminds me of revoltech figures. I'm absolutely certain it'll look dynamic in an action pose, plus it's so cool to see stylized takes on this design. Arcadia and Bandai have striven for lineart accuracy for so long, this thing is like a breath of fresh air

    Man I really want that Olson special, but 4th quarter is already stacked for me. Idk, the Orguss hasn't sold out yet so I'm assuming the Olson special will be available for a while after. Hope they re-release the Mass Production type too

    Picked up Ozma's Vf-25 from yoyakunow. Never ordered from there before, but I've never had an Armored Vf-25 so I figured why not?
  20. DownIsUp
    Did the Vf-27 ever get adopted by NUNS, like the Yf-29 was, or is it a functionally extinct design now that the Galaxy is space dust? I know it was heavily optimized to the point only a cyborg could functionally operate it, but the Yf-29 was altered for use as a spec-ops aircraft so I wasn't sure if it also received a similar treatment.

    This is a gorgeous project, I'm super excited to grab one! I think $150-$200 is fair for a complex resin kit like this. Mostly I'm just glad to see it exists!
  22. DownIsUp
    Finally got a payment request for the MegaHouse Variable Action Orguss! Anyone else have theirs on the way?
  23. DownIsUp
    Will using a proxy like Tenso shipping get past them, or do they tend to shut those orders down too?
  24. DownIsUp
    I gotta say now that I've had some more time with the figure, I'm not a huge fan of the sound booster combination. It looks gorgeous, but my favorite thing about this guy is how fun and solid he feels to pick up and pose, in contrast with something like some 3rd party transformers. The sound booster makes him way more fiddly in battroid mode. I do like the fighter mode connection though, it is pretty cool to whoosh around
  25. DownIsUp
    I desperately hope that the 262 has a prominent role in the next series so that we could maybe see a new release of it, but that's a pipe dream for sure
