    Yup! And done to hype up the final movie. There was an Eva 01 2020 that came out months ago too

    Ugh my EVA2020 is still missing on the container that got busted up. P-Bandai just sent another follow up that the container is still waiting to be unloaded to see what’s damaged.

    That would be a dream come true lol. Reissues plus like a Max 1S and a DYRL Hikaru 1S.

    Thanks for the tip! Curious why you would say there are no true religious undertones? Even if just meant to be used as symbolism or a metaphor, there are clear religious references throughout even though I would agree that they aren't anchored in any literal way. It's been said that Hideaki Anno created this at a time when he was going through an existential crisis of sorts, so even if the story is anchored in aliens and colonizing it has philosophical/existential undertones to be sure.

    @sqidd What they all said. Definitely watch Rebuild. I won't attempt to add anything more than what has been said, but agree that it's worth watching. My understanding is that Rebuild has been an attempt at ironing out some of the confusion or where they wanted to improve the story flow? Though others might be more knowledgeable on it.

    Super bad idea
  8. DYRL VF-1S
    Yeah I only opted for PF for the same reason. Stoked

    So who else here is waiting for the PF?
  11. DYRL VF-1S
    Ahhhh thanks. See? That's what happens when you're in a video meeting and trying to multi-task because you're too interested in Valks. I didn't read thoroughly before responding. HA
  12. DYRL VF-1S
    I ordered a PF directly from them so maybe there's hope?
  13. DYRL VF-1S
    Ditto. One of those keyboard air dusters works great.
  14. DYRL VF-1S
    Nice! Thanks for sharing
  15. DYRL VF-1S
    Here's the English version. Thanks!

    Here's a pic from another board. Appears that the 1J has a decal for the Macross kite and stripe. Not sure how his valk came to be like this but worth noting.

    They showed Nora on display so here's hoping it comes this year!!

    What are ya waiting for? I've been enjoying the fun between you and @jvmacross

    You're over here nerd raging. I'm not poo-pooing because it's not Bandai. Read what I wrote and chill out. I'm making a relevant post about KitzConcept 2.0 VF-1s. Since you can't seem to follow along, I'll recap: The price has gone up by at least 40% on a VF-1S since introducing ver 1 Roy. It's now $140 for VF-1S Rick ver 2. There were significant problems with ver 1 (I own it and have experienced these issues like hardpoints breaking) jvmacross has noted a serious issue with 1J ver 2 I personally have acquired every DX at $190 or less Therefore, until quality issues are resolved I personally do not think that the KC versions are worth the new price. At $100, I do. At $140, I don't. Because, I am able to get something else that is larger in scale and better quality for just a bit more. I'm sorry that you can't seem to get DXs at MSRP. That sucks for you. I'm glad that you like KC. Bravo. I don't. And it has nothing to do with anything other than my perceived value of cost vs quality. There is absolutely nothing to nerd rage about. There is nothing to argue about. Your opinion is valid. But so is mine. So step off your pretentious box and quit hating on those who actually do get DXs at MSRP (if we're going to talk about things we're tired about...)

    It makes sense, but I still think it's not black and white. It's gray and based on personal opinion and experience. KC falls in-between Arcadia and DX in many aspects. So, your point is very valid. I believe my point is as well. Neither are wrong - just different perspectives. I think this is pretty spot-on
  21. DYRL VF-1S
    I understand this sentiment and don't disagree (which is why I also made a comparison to Arcadia in my initial post,) but to be fair, DXs are available at MSRP. They're just really hard to obtain at that price. So, it comes down to personal experience. It's perfectly logical for me to compare KC to DX because I own all of the DX VF-1 regular releases at $190 or less. From my experience, it makes more sense to compare KC to DX. But I get that many people (if not the majority) are not in that boat. And when my luck runs out, I will be in that boat too and may shift my opinion. I'm not attempting to be argumentative. In fact, the opposite. There is nothing wrong with either viewpoint. It's completely subjective.
  22. DYRL VF-1S
    Totally. And if it came across as though I thought it was easy to get a DX, then I can clarify I don't think it's easy at all. Just like you said, the fact that I get a rush and thrill of the kill means it's hard to do. I don't believe I insinuated it was easy or realistic. It's just my personal experience and based on that the price of KC is not worth the quality. If they would've kept the price around the same price point as Ver 1, I'd be all in frankly. This bothers me a bit as well. Not enough to stop me from purchasing at the right price point because Robotech still has a place in my heart. I look at it very separately from Macross ironically enough. But based on the current price, the HG license certainly doesn't help me want to buy.
  23. DYRL VF-1S
    I’m definitely not joking. As crackpot mentions, there’s only a $30 - $50 difference at MSRP for DXs compared to KC. I would call that close. I have gotten every single DX VF-1 at $190 or less. Only exception was the 1J because I was late to that one. Even that, I got close to MSRP. KC has gotten better with each release, but their prices have increased with each as well. I hope someday they are as good as Arcadia or Bandai, but until then it’s not worth the price. Just my opinion and from my own experience in owning two of the ver 1. Not sure what the contentious reply is for?
  24. DYRL VF-1S
    Exactly. Not even worth it in my opinion for that price. Not when many of us are getting DXs at MSRP. It’s a shame because I would prefer to purchase this scale and leave the 1/48 for special displays. I actually like the 1/72 better than the 1/60 scale. I do like the price better than Arcadia’s PF but the quality sucks compared to them so again not worth it.
  25. DYRL VF-1S
    Honestly, I hope for us all that PO madness subsides a bit. (But yes, I LOVE the thrill )
