    Character design seems so...dull. Some really great artists worked on the original one and the comparison is really disappointing. Mecha design seems much better though. Anyway, looking forward to see more

    Thanks, It seemed an odd moment since the first time i saw it. It's weird that such an important detail is left so ambiguos.

    After rewatching this clip i have a question for the experts of the forum. Before the dogfight starts the enemy pilot does some sign with his hands, some sort of code to comunicate among planes while up in the air, i guess. Maverick is not able to understand a single sign of it. Does this mean that there are different codes for each nation/continent/organization? For example, Europe has one, that is different from the one Russia has, or Nato has one that is different from the one all the other nations who are not part of the organization uses etc. I thought it was like an universal language...

    If you look closely there is also the U.N. SPACY sign,somewhere. There must be

    Baldios Pose+ In my opinion, their masterpiece so far. Great proportions, joints super tight(maybe even too much) good amount of diecast and great posability. vote 9/10.

    Well, i have two, the regular release and the weathering one and i would buy another one. Also it would be great if Arcadia would re-release it in that white bright shade rather than the off white of the first releases, which, from i what i understood, should prevent even more the yellowing of the plastic(but not completely sure about that yet). In addition i wouldn't mind other reissues like a VF-X1 or maybe a slight different paint scheme like the Alaska base(which it's not a real reissue but really not that different). In any case Arcadia definitely knows better than i do. At least i hope so. I mean, i love their toys very much (since they were Yamato) and it kinda breaks my heart to see so few new releases.

    I don't mind reissues but i think they should try to change some of the releases...like for example, what about a Max VF-1S? I mean, it's already pretty difficult to find as a used item. It would be like printing money.

    What's next for arcadia, i guess reissues, reissues, reissues...damn, at least give me the weathering version of the destroid and a PF of Nora

    I agree. The quality of DYRL is astonishing, even now after 35 years from its release i think it's better than most of the productions that come out these days. Not to mention Mikimoto's character design. I think we have been graced to have the same, fantastic story told twice in different formats. I personally love both of them.

    Thank you for all your suggestions. I sent an email to Hobby Genki but they never got back to me. Not a good sign in my experience so i will definitely go with Hobby search. Also, how do i pay directly in yen letting the CC do the exchange rate(i usually pay with paypal)? Thank you for your help.

    Robin-11 replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    Thank you for your reply, but i have to say i am seeing different prices compared to the ones you listed...it's weird, for example, HLJ price for me shows up at € 263 which should be around 280 USD. Slight differences in the other stores too. Anyway, i think i will probably go with Hobby search since i think i already bought from them several years ago and they seem a very reliable website. I am still open to suggestions though.

    Robin-11 replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    Thanks, except Big bad toy store i never bought anything from any of these stores. Hobby Genki seems the cheapest one. Would you suggest it?

    "Macross Frontier " Sheryl Nome -Tsukuyomi Ver.- 1/7 Complete Figure What do you think would be the best site to buy this beautiful statue? it seems to be a limited release so i don't see it available for pre-order on the usual websites i buy from.

    Today's arrival...after a long wait finally these two bad girls came knocking at my door and it's all thanks to...this forum. Seriously, i was suggested by one of the users of this forum to look for this very limited release on the Bigbadtoy store(which i had only heard of) and it was basically the only store that carried them(they were on pre-order also on nin-nin but although now they are in stock it was almost impossible to secure a preorder, like macross level impossible). So this proves that forums and this one in particular can still be extremely useful! Thank you Macross world!

    Thank you!

    Quick question, does anybody know which aircraft number Isamu is piloting in the beginning sequence of Macross Plus? I am refering to the VF-11 he is using in the dogfight against the rogue zentran squad, right before he arrives on the New Edward training base.
  18. Robin-11
    Also, their silhouette in fighter mode is still great!
  19. Robin-11
    Anyway, still no news or pictures about super/fast parts...i have a feelling they will be sold separetely a while after the release of the toy. Hopefully.
  20. Robin-11
    Only by watching these pictures i realized that Bandai added the NO STEP tampos on the wings of the new VF-25 releases. And i do own the Alto renewal released few months ago. Bandai, you are evil. Anyway any other extra tampos added to these new versions?

    I am a huge brownie lover. Few weeks ago i decided to take on a project that i have been planning out for a while. Since that nobody knows when or whether Bandai will ever release a VF-1A cannon fodder in the DX line i tried to get the best out of what i already have in my collection, starting of course from a Yamato 1/48 VF-1A Cannon fodder. The changes i made: 1. Bath in hydrogen peroxide in order to take out that awful yellowish patina 2. Used waterslide decals instead of stickers 3. Switch the pilot from a DYRL to a SDFM one(it’s a spare Roy Focker I had from an old Yamato 1/48). 4. Used the reactive missiles set from Bandai. 5. Still on the fence whether to panel line it or not…I feel the lines are too deep and in the end it would not look so good…(your experience on the matter would be greatly appreciated). From this project I learnt that if you tweak few details you can almost get a brand new valk…especially putting up waterslide decals instead of stickers made a huge difference in my opinion(although I realized it’s not that easy to find good quality third party decals). In any case, I hope you enjoy it!

    You are not wrong, that's another really great scene from a beautiful Gundam series. Probably my second favorite. But...how can you forget the poor Scarlet team?😔
  23. Robin-11
    Well, it does star in one of the best OAV series from the Gundam saga. It takes down an entire GM platoon by itself. Its pilot has more charisma than most of the pilots from the non UC universe. Despite the fact that it has to fight with a far superior MS it is almost able to beat him. So, definitely does not get much screen time but what it does with the time that is given to it well, it's really legendary.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Robin-11 replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    I agree. What about the super deformed version(egg plane i think it's called)? I was under the impression that there was a sheet of waterslide decals inside that kit too....

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Robin-11 replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Quick question for all the YF-19 lovers...is there a decal sheet where i can find a waterslide decal with the Isamu Dyson name? I mean, i am looking for the decal with the name of the pilot that you usually put on the canopy or right below it. Thank you!
