    Indeed...or strike parts...or missiles.
  2. Radioguy
    Was this one still sealed?
  3. Radioguy
    I like it. I think it will be fun in hand. Having said that, while we have a gun here, I don't like that we don't see missiles in fighter mode. That gives me Angel Bird vibes, and I want missiles. Hell, I want strike parts!

    I'm just gonna say the obvious here. The problem, other than having to build and paint the thing, is durability. Kits are made to look pretty and not be played with, and that's not conducive to a transformable model no matter what the tolerances are (and looking at the gaps in those, they are made with room to spare to save paint stripping off). DX and Arcadia may not be all we want or can be realized, but we can actually transform the damned things more than a few times without (usually) having to touch them up again. Having said all that, I'd love to have a 1:48 VF-1J in a Robotech Axoid paint scheme, and that ain't happening anytime soon unless someone paints one up (ain't gonna be me with my Carpal Tunnel). 😉

    They always cover themselves with "Japan Version", so it's not as easy to accuse them of gouging here...well, not to Americans. It's the Japanese version!!!!

    Said it elsewhere, so probably should here: If anyone needs someone to try and pick up a copy for them at Tamashii NYC, I would try. I just don't know if purchase limits will be imposed for this like they were at the Tamashii popup at Grand Central for the Max VF-0S.

    The price is high, but aside from the positive playable aspects of owning him, I'd actually like this to succeed; especially if the USA availability is as it seems.
  8. Radioguy
    Yeah, that occurred to me as well. Still, I'd own this.

    Price aside, if you love the DX VF-1 design, you'd probably want this for the variant like a sofubi in a different colorway. Folks did grab Yammie repaints once upon a time, so it's not like this is unprecedented. It certainly looks better than the 30th Anniversary Arcadia. I just hope the availability is correct, and it's successful. If that door is opened, who knows what may come.
  10. Radioguy
    I can't understand it otherwise so far. I hope it doesn't change. To buy a brand new DX VF-1 in a New York City shop is the stuff of dreams.

    Am I nuts or does the site say it CAN be sold in the USA, and not only that, but will be at the Tamashii store in Times Square??? I am hyperventilating here over the implications of this.

    That's the third or fourth reissue, yeah? I mean it's great that they got so much right for him in Earthrise, but is he so rare or expensive on the secondary market with so many reissues? If anything, I'm surprised they haven't done more variants beyond AU and SG if he's so popular. I kinda wish they did Nemesis for the mold, or AU again, actually.
  14. Radioguy
    Not the metallic 1As, though. Surprising. Well, it's still a preorder, so maybe not.
  15. Radioguy
    I have one of those tools! I always suspected they had more uses...
  16. Radioguy
    They and the HMRs scratch an itch at a lower price point, but I have a poison ivy-level Macross rash. DX is my Benadryl now.
  17. Radioguy
    I wonder if they'll just do an origins set of reissues after this. Who else could they have in it?
  18. Radioguy
    If that's gonna be a TV SDF-1...damn. They would be tempting me again.
  19. Radioguy
    Sucks either way.
  20. Radioguy
    Someone on TFW confirmed this was the reason they were skipped. It was Target.

    I could understand without keyword recognition one could end up with a lemon, but having recognition for words like "Unopened" or "Main item only" or just "Damaged" would seem easy to code for the description field. Still, I think many would roll the dice knowing it may not be perfect when setting a max price to buy that's not so high. Yes, I'd be running it right now for a couple items I think I could only find there. At least at a price I can afford, anyhow. I hope someone is still working on such an app, or can tell me where one exists, that would at least work with Mandarake.
  22. Radioguy
    While one could argue that the cassette bot inclusion justified the lack of weapons as a cost-cutting measure, I can't help but think it was a politically correct decision made by someone at Target. Even if Leadfoot or Redwing had weapons, maybe Target felt the atmosphere had changed...or someone at Target did...and that having a Target branded character with weapons was a bad idea now.
  23. Radioguy
    Yes, I remember. Where had you PO'd them?
  24. Radioguy
    Has anyone continued in this vein? I sure would love such a bot for Mandarake, and suspect one exists in Japan somewhere considering how fast some things sell.

    Did the Valkyrie Factory CF and Angel Bird have extensive photos like the FuGu does?
