    Lucky me I guess. I'm only super interested in the VF-1S Roy (my childhood RT experience tells me that the yellow is Roy's and Hikaru's color) . I could have taken a pass on the Hikaru (red/black) but they do look really good and who knows when/if Roy will come out. I would be interested in the "solid" color M&M's (that's TV colors correct? I can't remember). Not character driven. I like how they display in the red and blue. But I have a Yamacadia of each and two 1/48 Yammies of each already. I could be tempted to replace them with DX's if they ever become available. I do agree that the 1/60 Yamacadia's when looked at as a whole have a lot to offer. I love the 1/48's. But the 1/60's are a lot easier to manage.

    Does anyone have or seen any pictures/video of a DX disassembled? I'm working on getting a custom started and the person doing the work hasn't played with a DX yet. We're trying to get ahead of the curve if possible. I poked around a little but haven't seen anything. Any help would be appreciated. Some of you have far better Google-Fu tan I do. Thanks!

    You're decimal point is on the wrong spot. That's $45.00. Not a Kings Ransom of course. But when factored with the retail of the toy and their likely profit margin they probably offered you everything they could without going into the red. That's generally my first move when I'm trying to work out a fair deal with a customer. Yours was the one with the crack near one of the intakes right?

    What did they offer you as as HS points go and what does that translate into in dollars?

    They're addictive! I may be putting @ChaoticYeti's kids through college at this point!

    Yes. I would also prefer bigger.

    Sentinel's production runs are probably a small fraction of Bandai. That's probably where most of the cost difference comes from. Plus Bandai is a much bigger organization so it's easier for them to amortize costs. I have no idea how many DX VF-1S's Bandai just made or how many units of this Sentinel will be running. My WAG is Sentinel will be 10% of Bandai. When it comes to cost efficiency that is a gargantuan difference. Sorta related. My main product/products are vastly difference in price depending on production run counts. And unlike toys what I produce is very, very materials driven (they're a huge part of the cost). Even with materials being a huge factor which the price of doesn't change regardless of production run size, if I was making runs 10x bigger than I am right now it would save me 30%. And that isn't taking different production techniques that I could take advantage of with runs that large. With different techniques I would cut costs even more. It would not surprise me to lean that Bandai is producing units for 30-50% less than Sentinel.

    Minmei doesn't have blood. Everyone knows that. Sheesh.

    I just got payment notice on the Metal Kingdom GAT-X105 Strike.

    You missed it.

    That is a huge pet peeve of mine.

    My neck is....... sore? Yeah, that's a totally convincing excuse. EDIT: I just looked. It was all highlighted for me and everything! I'm such a tool.

    You're probably making him feel a lot better.

    I wasn't too thrilled with this either. But, a few people on here pointed out that if/when the Tread/Beta comes out the two combined will be quite big. Then you have to start thinking about available display space. Would I have liked a bigger Legioss? When/if the Tread/Beta comes out I'll probably be glad it isn't. My Mospeada shelf is going to be pretty full with a Alpha/Beta Legioss/Tread in fighter (is that what it's called?) and a Legioss in.....I can't remember now.....solider mode? I don't want to add another shelf for one or two toys. Then I wil be obligated to fill that up all the way. Because science?

    I did. I've got tracking but it hasn't gone anywhere yet.

    Ultimetal Battle Damaged Optimus Prime. Un-boxed this monster today. I absolutely like the battle damaged version more than the standard. And it's officially time to put some hours in on displays. "Just put that anywhere" is probably the best description of their current state. Time to set up some LED's and build another Detolf.

    That's what I would do if I was Bandai. If not less.

    Ditto

    I'd have a camera in my mailbox. Collect evidence that they're not attempting to deliver. Then compile it all and file a complaint. That's a bunch of bull.
  23. sqidd
    I don't think you're going to see Bandai make nearly that many variants.

    Um, I want your truck. Can I get it at a discount because there are paint problems?

    I'll be transforming two of my three once......with gloves on. These are going to be too fragile to goof around with IMO.
