There's a separate thread for Gundam toys like this.
-
Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
Lolicon replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
As a curiosity, I added that Nu Gundam to cart at Amiami and it was sold out by the time the cart (slooowly) loaded. Instant sold out at HS. Guess Bandai must be producing very few of these or Gundam fans are even more rabid than I thought. -
Were you able to disassemble the front fuselage or did you just paint it like that?
-
Wait, are you guys talking about the YF-19 or YF-29?
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Sweet low viz scheme, rainbow canopy, white landing gear, non-stumpy weapon pylons... fantastic! -
Are you playing with your 1J while sitting around in just your underpants?
-
Bandai does not have a history ever reissuing their web exclusives for Macross, so why would Bandai choose to start now? Better to order them all now and not have to risk paying inflated prices later, than take the chance of being gouged for strike parts later because Bandai doesn't do TWE reissues. Because whoever did the box art (Tenjin?) knows that super short, stumpy pylons with ordinance pressed up against the underside of the wings are unrealistic and looks dumb.
-
They'll probably just cancel the order. Canceling all your orders would mean refunding a bunch of money since they're a pay now shop, and they probably would rather keep your money.
-
Did anyone try this site? I put in a Max order when it was $168, but haven't paid for it. https://japanexclusive.ocnk.net/product/5517
-
That AE sandbox page lets me add to cart, but I just get a error page when I try to pay for it.
-
Not sure I want to continue this line after Roy. Fully outfitting a single DX VF-1 makes Arcadia look inexpensive, to say nothing of the PO BS we have to endure. Which apparently includes web exclusives now too.
-
Kawamori also approved of the original VF-25 toys. So what? Give me a large enough paycheck and I'll approve whatever you want. The stumpy pylons just look dumb, is all. Whatever. I've come to expect inexplicable design choices and corner cutting from Bandai. Just don't try to convince me it's canon or "anime-accurate" with a few cherry-picked screencaps of old hand-drawn animation, as if those are more valid than any other screencap. The pylon lengths aren't even consistent in the screencaps provided earlier.
-
Nice try. If you're going to go by hand drawn animation, then where are my white gunpods and solid grey head lasers?
-
Got a Dairugger from USA Gundam store for $305 shipped. Woo!
-
Always two steps forward, one step back with Bandai...
-
WTF do the missiles just rest right up against the wings on the DX?
-
The UN Spacy on the gunpod is upside down.
-
The only thing that surprises is the thought that Bandai actually produced more than 1500 VF-1S units.
-
I wouldn't trust Mykombini with a high demand order like this anyway.
-
Anyone picking up the Endgame Hulk? Doesn't really look that great to me. Wish Bandai would have included the Iron Man infinity stone gauntlet. That face sculpted looks weird too.
-
Ordered 4 sets. Now let's see if Bandai actually produces the others and, more importantly, if I can even get an order without paying scalper prices.
-
I'm totally on board with a PF GBP with missile effects. They need to get on that before Bandai releases their DX version! Shouldn't be hard since it's essentially just a reissue.
-
Oh yeah they do have a calculator lol God it's been ages since I bothered shipping anything from them without stockpiling for months.
-
Wasn't unexpected as the VF-31 super parts also cost as much. That's because when you buy from AE, it all goes into a private warehouse, where you can stockpile stuff indefinitely and ship everything altogether to save on shipping costs. It's why I like buying my exclusives from them. They could add a shipping calculator for those who want to ship it immediately, but they probably won't spend the money for a site overhaul.

Godzilla feels the same way we do about Bandai after the latest PO fiasco.
