Indeed. With closeups of those areas that differ in style from DX, HMR, KC, etc.

Mine's on the way!

Thanks @MKT In other news: https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/macross/100295-dx-chogokin-macross-do-you-remember-love-vf-1s-valkyrie-ichijou-hikaru-use-148-mechanic-edition-bandai-spirits-.html Back for the moment. -
I hate to rob from Rick to pay Roy, as it were. Well, depends on those scale and bracket comparisons, I suppose (If anyone has, or could speak to that).
-
Thought as much from what I remembered. Ah well.
-
I was half-joking, but if it's scaled right against Yammie or DX (Can anyone check ?), I suppose it's actually conceivable if the bracket could be modded (Would also love to see this comparison). Thing is, were the super or strike parts available separately from Hasegawa, or just with their super/strike valks?
-
So, as if I was sniffing glue already, I ordered three HG missile sets, a pin vise with the appropriate bit, the appropriate pipe (I did see mention from @MKT that the runners or sprue might suffice, but for a buck or two more, why chance things?), and a bunch of Gundam Marker sets (have some other use for a few than this project). Even if I fail spectacularly on the first set, I see I could still flip the others and unused markers, so I went all in. I'll never play poker for money, so don't ask. Anyhow, all of the above, including shipping from Japan, cost less than the average price of one DX missile set now. Nutso. So, I'll post my own experience in time. Hopefully it works out and becomes a viable option for more people. Um, anyone think Hasegawa 1:48 Super/Strike parts might be modifiable? Just wondering...and gotta put away that glue.
-
Gone.
-
Excellent. I'd hoped for pens.
-
I haven't assembled or painted a kit in years. @Zeliard, can you say which paints you used? I not only want to do this, I want to have a surplus.
-
Indeed. I find it almost impossible that, be it failure or success, no one has tried this already, and if they have, would this forum not be the place to attest to it? For some reason, I'm thinking someone may have once mentioned a 3D printed part that might address this. If there is, I would order it.
-
Ah, the question was asked before, but the answer...?
-
Yes, to have VF-1s become prolific is a good thing; even if many of us have all the VF-1s we can take (I'm not there yet, though). Seeing some store shelf space occupied by Gundams feature more Macross would be wonderful to behold.
-
I'd love this in any scale. I don't own one yet!
-
I'd love to be taken through the steps to accomplish this. If anyone has a guide...
-
It's driving me nuts. Strike parts were bad enough, but the missile set, in hand, hardly feels worth $60, forget about anything more. That was why I had wondered if there were way to adapt same-scale kit missiles for the DX and HMRs. Still not seen anyone show that's easy to do.
-
One of them. There were also strike parts sets unto themselves.
-
They did have models with strike parts not long ago, but checking their online shop I see only super parts right now.
-
I just wonder when, since I think Toynami continues to produce those strike parts under the Robotech brand. Interesting. I wonder, if that is the process, whether a licensor needs to tell the licensee who else they have granted that "non-exclusive" license to, or who they have subsequently. Again, it seems to me a gamble to acquire a license that could be undermined so easily, but I obviously may not see the entirety of the process. You're not an idiot...you just missed my mentioning other criteria than scale (which presumably can be the basis for a license). In this case though, it may all be moot if anything goes.
-
When did HG realize this, or when was that determined? I ask, because Toynami has released strike parts under the Robotech brand.
-
Obviously. Scale was the basis of my initial posts long ago saying they must be different, and that was why they could co-exist, but I remember someone saying they were the same (here or on TFW). They attempted to eviscerate my argument that there can't be two licensees for matching products (brand, scale, articulation, materials, etc) in the same market as it would potentially leave a licensor liable to litigation when each complains the other is undermining sales. So, TZ don't list a scale? Interesting. I guess we'll see if they are significantly different when you post a video of TZ and KC standing side-by-side. Hopefully that video won't have to be played subsequently in a courtroom. Still, I thought the burden lies on the company to restrict licenses, or else the outcome I described would happen constantly and tie up the courts. I mean, why would a company seek a license to produce the same product as an existing licensee in a market already saturated by them, and especially when the licensor would grant the same license again the following day to create an additional competitor in the same market? It's not quite wholly analogous, but I always think of franchisers and franchisees when thinking of this topic. In point, how many franchisees have sued franchisers for over-saturating a market, unknowing to a potential franchisee, with that new franchisee discovering sales are poor due to other franchises in the same market being awarded before or subsequently. I guess we'll see how the product quality is. It's gotta be better plastic than KC, but those heads and that chunk...we'll see. KC has set the bar on including additional features. It would be a shame if TZ doesn't meet that bar, and if Bandai doesn't pad theirs to compete (If anything, they've reduced included accessories, so likely not). I'm surprised KC hasn't done strike part sets available separately. Perhaps they will to squeeze some more money if they will be winding down at some point.
-
Alright, if that stuff came out anytime soon, I might shift some money back from DX savings.
-
I know it hasn't been mentioned lately, but are we certain that KC's license has zero impact on the TZ situation? I know I had thought KC needed to wrap things up on valks for TZ to take over (but I was disabused from believing that by several folks). Likewise, I know KC is announcing more figures and Zentradi stuff, and still wondered if that might be a needed shift as TZ is getting close to getting their valks out. I guess it will be put to rest once TZ ships, and if KC still has theirs up for sale.

OOS, yeah? I still haven't seen the link. Gotta be frank, I had imagined years ago how cool it would be to have a diecast Prime at that scale, and this doesn't seem to disappoint. I do want one.
