For me, it wasn't about patience, it just came down to being way cheaper than the domestic pre-order price.

New Macross Animation Announced, to be animated by Sunrise
Raikkonen replied to seti88's topic in Movies and TV Series
Those are mentioned in context of the grounded feel, like how is Zero, SDF and DYRL, where pop idols aren't the focal point, but instead one of the facets of a cube. Frontier introduced us to a whole new species, the Varja... you think that with the size of the galaxy that the Megaroad-1 won't have it's own encounters? -
LOL, as I mentioned above about my one friend.
-
I love this "1 just in case" 🤣 You reminded me of my friend I previously mentioned with the Low-vis... He's plan was to have 3 displayed in the different modes, and 2-3 mint sealed in boxes as an investment. He never got around to displaying them except for a few, as his place became a toy warehouse of factory cases still sealed. He eventually offloaded everything when Yammy reached it's peak.

In a way it did silently, but as long as it didn't invade her cardboard space and shelves, I was always safe 😅

What are your plans for this new 0D? Just paint and decals, or other adjustments?

I agree that due to the new licensing agreement, Bandai wants to expand it's merchandise worldwide through a new series, and not restrict it to Japan. But, I disagree there isn't a story to be told about Megaroad-01. So much can be shown to what they encountered while in the unknown to whatever struggles in living in that fold and eventually escaping it. And yes, Kawamori said their story is over, but everybody changes their mind. At the end, bar the license fence around DYRL, it can be anything... a prequel to Zero showing the early developments of a VF, straight to a sequel to Delta. -
And this is what I really want to know, which I know we won't, is that did they 3D scan a yammy, then designed their own mold around it... or someone came in possession of a Yammie mold copy? Of which if they did, then there's probability Arcadia would have to make new molds if they dare to venture down Vf-1 again?

Aliexpress has been nailed here in Greece with high customs as it was flooding here.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Raikkonen replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Started and caught up on all of Jujutsu since last week. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also started on Zom 100. Loving this. -
The blue is still wrong.

This was my turning point. Well, this, and discovering things I forgot about sealed in shipping boxes in my cardboard. I wish you the best, I know it's tough. Well, after getting my first ever HMR, the 0D last week, and even though the Gerwalk to plane transformation wasn't the best of experiences, I am considering of flogging my remaining Yammies bar one of the Focker low vis, as well my Evas, and perhaps focus on HMR, but only those on releases prices... no ways I'm tracking back to ebay pitfalls.

I've watched a lot of Lego, Figma and Figuarts KO reviews for giggles, and most of them immediately complain about the smell upon opening them. It's to read you've found a substitutes as I know the mission of finding parts pack at good prices. I need DYRL Strike parts, but so hard to find at reasonable price, even second hand and willing to ship to Europe...
-
I'm curious for those that have these KOs, do they smell bad like other KO themes, and hows the durability and transformation?
-
That's painful to read. I feel for you!!! I've only owned the 1/60 v1 from early 2000, which I sold, the VF-1's 1/48, and also sold those, and basically kept a few of the1/60 VF-1 V2 last run before rebranded as Arcadia.

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
Raikkonen replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I think the license goes to anyone willing to fill shelves for how ever long they can. Isn't this all that HG has left to survive with? I recall Anymoon also mentioning something like this in one of his recent videos. -
It does look good. Thought about getting one and painting the white to black or a light bluish grey.
-
This. And it's quite a thin line to trip over and never come back. 😅
-
3Z have a fantastic reputation, and never to experiment with materials beyond plastic for accuracy or quality. But here the design doesn't convince me. The inaccurate head with the large chest and smaller than usual legs are quite a step backwards from DX, HMR and Yamato.
-
Buying something that says 'Robotech' and 'HG' on it makes me feel dirty. 😅
-
But I have a real wife. Why do I need another? 🤣 I didn't give up collecting. I just disconnected from obsessing with it. I was collecting too much of it from Hot Toys to Lego, every week more boxes. It wasn't a hobby anymore, it was purely a fix. Now that I'm beyond that, I feel liberated and I fully enjoy the few pieces I get once in while. The VF-0D was my first in almost 2 years. And don't get me started on how much easier it is to move homes and the cardboard space now available. 😂

The singing happens through out the Macross universe before or when a battle begins. It is it's DNA. Yes, it's execution counts a lot, but Ranka singing to a surfing fortress... yeah... And no, doesn't mean cause the captain is a avid surfer, that it makes sense to show a giant battle fortress surfing into battle later-on. Roy Focker was a alcoholic, so then it would have made sense and been acceptable by showing his VF-1 trying to jag down barrels of fuel? 🤣 -
Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
Raikkonen replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I love the look of the Mig-23. Even built a Hasegawa kit and also had the mechanical file of it... but... I'm not surprised it keeps having issues. It was one of those jets quickly designed with little testing to make numbers during the cold war. Apparently was a great interceptor, but dreadful dog fighter and pilots were uneased flying it due to it's landing gear flaw and weak frame. -
That's way less than what I paid for a my Yammy pair with shipping. lol
-
I had the Revoltech one. Sold it as the gummy body with ratchet joints was quite cheap.
