    I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Bandai hasn't even finished any squadrons on the HMR line, and some of us are still waiting on super parts for the rest of Delta squadron. Pretty sure Bandai decides what to release next using a dart board. Or laying down a bunch of valk pictures on the ground and seeing which one the company cat decides to sit on.

    The Rise of Skywalker was even worse than The Last Jedi. TLJ tried to do new things. It failed, but at least it tried. And the movie did have a few good points, my favorite being that Rey's parents were nobodies and that anyone can rise up to be the next great hero. TROS just rehashed the same crap from previous movies, but did it much worse. It was creatively bankrupt in addition to being incredibly bad. Multiple reviewers have pointed out how it copies a bunch of things from Avengers: Endgame, but in a much sh***ier fashion. So it should be called Star Wars: Sh**game.

    It comes bundled with a missile set! How could anyone pass this deal up?

    New stuff day. Picked up another Hot Toys Iron Man suit. And another Sheryl figure. But most importantly, I think I have a new favorite T-shirt.

    Finished Picard season one. I liked it better than Discovery, but that's not saying much. That last episode was confusing as hell. Don't want go in-depth or spoil anything, so I'll keep it short. Patrick Stewart was the best part, much like Captain Pike was what I really liked about Discovery season 2. Suffers from extremely poor pacing, characters that are poorly utilized, and an underwhelming story. Man, the terrible pacing was what put me off the most. So, in the end, Picard season one was mostly par for the course for Star Trek. Because most of Star Trek sucks. I say that as a lifelong Star Trek fan who doesn't view past shows through rose-tinted goggles. But at least this was better than Rise of Skywalker. Also, Roddenberry's vision sucks.

    That's the issue right there. There's been no issue with supply of Kakizaki because it wasn't Bandai producing it. Because Bandai is known for producing plenty of goods so that everyone can order one with ease!

    From Japan seems to be the best price at just under 21k before shipping. Glad I got mine in before they reached their limit. Probably going to use From Japan for all such orders from now on since AE is price gouging now. Preferred ordering from them in the past so I could bundle all my orders together.

    I wouldn't trust Nin Nin or Mykombini with any order that you don't think will be easily available anywhere else after release, web exclusive or not. From personal experience.

    I'm not talking about the canopy shape. I'm talking about the internal cockpit, seat and all. It's only like 3 or 4 pieces of plastic. The design has the seat too far forward with a lot of wasted space in the back, forcing the pilots to be made extra small in order to fit into the cockpit. Yes, even the DYRL pilot is undersized, though not as egregiously as the TV pilots. This is something that should have been addressed in the design stage, long before the first DX went into actual production. A couple of pieces of molded plastic with the seat mounted further back with less wasted space probably isn't going to cost any more than what we have now. It's not going to turn a $200 toy into a $300 or $400 toy. And we could have properly sized pilots too. Bandai f***ed up the VF-31 cockpit too, which is why those pilots sit in cramped cockpits with the console smushed up against them. I don't attribute that to cost. I would attribute that to laziness, carelessness, and/or stupidity. I have only used them a couple of times and got my order confirmation pretty fast. Never ran into them not being able to secure an order for a web exclusive.

    How is printing the rescue arrow in the wrong direction cheaper or easier than printing it in the right direction? Or just positioning the seat further back in the cockpit where it's supposed to be?

    Ordered via From Japan. Note to anyone using From Japan: DO NOT USE PAYPAL PAYMENT. I should have remembered this from the VF-0D order, but if you select Paypal payment on the From Japan page, it won't take you to the Paypal page where you can select your funding source. It will straight up charge you right then and there using Paypal's crappy conversion rate where Paypal pockets the difference. For this order it was only a few dollars, but it annoys me to no end that I gave a few extra dollars to the f***ers at Paypal. I had used my CC conversion rate for the 0D order, fortunately.

    25k? F U NY. 24.8k? F U AE.

    If the 100 on the upper starboard stabilizer was intentional for reasons of symmetry, then why does the lower starboard stabilizer have 001? Seems pretty damn assymmetrical* to me. * Not a typo. With Bandai, it's ASSymmetrical.

    There's a big difference between adding extra markings not seen in the show (especially when it was hand drawn) and completely botching up the markings. Hasegawa doesn't provide PETS ON markings for their kits, do they?
  15. Lolicon
    @Sanity is Optional Are you going to be using From Japan to order Kakizaki? If so can you share what the total price is (not including shipping of course)? Just want to compare it to the cost of just buying it through like AE or wherever.

    Love that custom SDF-1. Been kicking around the idea to do the same with mine as it's yellowed over the years.
  17. Lolicon
    That's the screw hole cover. Someone at the factory didn't push it in all the way before the super glue set.

    So, uh, I was only joking around a few weeks back about future releases having the modex numbers printed backwards. And then Bandai goes and actually does it. /facepalm I'll get just one to satisfy my completionist urge, but it will most likely stay in its box indefinitely. /davidwhangchoi Bandai just halfasses and cuts too many corners for me to be particularly enamored with their stuff anymore.
  19. Lolicon
    Oh I see you have a separate TV Roy. Truly a refined gentleman you are.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Lolicon replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Is Bandai ever going to release the remaining super packs? It's lame having a partial squadron of supers.
  22. Lolicon
    How big is it?

    It's rare these days but I do occasionally see Max's 1S pop up on Mandarake from time to time. Not sure if you want to pay that much though. Those old Yammies go for quite a bit these days.

    Hi-Metal R

    I don't remember you posting these. They're great!
  25. Lolicon
    I wasn't, but you should get one of those, too. What is the that poster thingy? I want one.
