According to their website, if it exists they'll find it for you. Maybe bandai came a little more prepared this time?

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Hikuro replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I dunno, I'm mostly just getting the FoC Bruticus as a completist. But otherwise the Fansproject upgrades make it more legit looking. -
My email from Nippon Yasan said they were hopeful in getting some shipped by the 28th, but most likely all orders would be sent out on the 30th.
-
Yeah that's another thing. I thought initially this series was starting in the fall and this is summer. So I totally would of missed it if it wasn't for this thread. What kind of marketing has Disney really even done for the series to even have a chance? Granted, I don't even really watch television cause I got basic and there's really nothing even on it!

Starship Troopers: Invasion - New SST Anime
Hikuro replied to VT 1010's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Can't it be both? -
I think I've seen that. think it's vf1s who did that. he's got pictures of a 1/2000 scale with a fully painted macross city on his thread. I just got the charge for it, 383.29. That's a LOT of money. But I get some kind of rinkydink Macross Quarter pamphlet I guess. With any luck I'll have this thing before the end of the first week of July. Then again maybe even slightly later. Which NOW I got to find a new space for my Macross Collection. And I think I might know where. Gonna have to start moving stuff around.
-
LOL!! Mines pretty good at asking permission. She's a transformer nerd so of it changes shape she wants to check it out. One reason she's shown interest in macross was finding out jetfire was initially a vf1. Couple of the guys at work wanna see this behemoth as well. One guy who does model building hardcore thinks I should of saved for the 1/2000. Now you all have to admit, that is not just a show piece, that's literally a holy grail to us.
-
I'll probably do a little customization to it, very minor. I see that 01 & 02 numbering for the ARMD platforms are non existing in the assembled piece. And I believe someone in the customize thread made a cut away background of Macross City you can out on the interior leg. That would be the extent to my customizing of the assembled piece. As for my girlfriend, she will wanna touch it. She's got a fascination for the Macross. Should of seen her face on episode 12 of Frontier. She thought it was the original Macross and got teary eye.
-
It's separate from the ship? is the bridge section magnetized like the ARMD platforms I've heard about? I caught on about the plastic bag issue from reviews so I'm good to go there. I might have super glue but I usually use cement glue like my model kits.
-
I ordered the assembled version. Phew, that was a lot of money. I went off HLJ since the EMS would make it a little faster for a few dollars more thanw hat Ebay was offering. Out of curiosity, those with the unassembled kit get a 01 and 02 for the ARMD platforms. Anyone know the size those are? I have an industrial vynl cutter at work and could make little white numbers for them at a similar font. Just need to know how big they gotta be.
-
Usually that's how it goes doesn't it? Since the renewel that is. All the valks have had interchangable hands for fixed positions. Don't see why this would be any different.

Well I'm still trying to sell a few items on the SALES board if anyone is interested. an MP Prime and Megs and some RiD Optimus and Scourge. Just barely enough to break me even and get the Macross. So if anyone wants to be a pal and help that'd be awesome lol. Buying the kit just to have a Macross in a different mode is a great idea. Probably the only reason I would even buy a second one just for that. Way to make this even tougher!
-
Tough decision then. Like I said earlier....I wish the sale would go on thru july and I wouldn't have a problem in getting either or. So Now I'm trying to sell a few more items so I can completely cover the cost. So far I hadn't gotten any offers for he remainder amount. Kidn of hard to buy this thing and be able to afford my girlfriend her Macross themed birthday party. Damn the world.
-
Ugh well that just makes it a terribly difficult choice. It'd be great if the sale went on for a little bit longer so I could take advantage of the pricing. I wouldn't mind building the bloody thing but at the same time I don't wanna screw it up hmmmmm.....
-
Hah yeah I hear you, I'd love to assemble that bad ass mutha. But chance are I will NEVER own something like that. I'm not to worried over the decals. I spent 2 days on a 1/2500 Enterprise E with custom decals. Came out WONDERFULLY.
-
I need some advice. I've been wanting the Macross for a long time now.. to the point I've finally been saving up the money to get it. However 500 dollars is a steep price right? But there's also the Unassembled version that's drastically cheaper, and right now it's even on sale. What I'm curious of is how much of it would need to be additionally painted to match the assembled version? I even heard that the decals are a little more detailed than the assembled variant. But with nearly a 300 dollar difference in price I'm incredibly tempted on this unassembled version. I've gotten a ton better at modeling in just the last few months. And I've heard stories that sometimes there are screws missing in the unassembled kit but don't provide an issue in terms of finishing, that and you don't even need glue in all honestly except in the small bits that you would also have issues with on the assembled version. I want to hear the owners thoughts on both sides. How much more painting would I need to do to finish it? Does anyone have paint codes so I can pick up the proper colors to finish it? Does the huge difference in price really make it worth the building effort?
-
Not too mention there are people who just don't have these channels like myself.
-
Okay i got ahold of them, and I figured out why I never got the email, makes sense. Said i should receive one and not to worry or anything. Stock should ship between the 28th and 30th.
-
Huh that's odd. I didn't get any email from Nippon Yasan. I guess I'll wait and see and after a week or so of people saying there's has been shipped and I still see nothing I'll tell them I want a refund.
-
Yeah, everything I've come across says the end of the month. After how much I enjoy my YF-29, I'm really looking forward to the 171 now.
-
I am puking rainbows right now. I got my YF-29 and I just love the bugger. so many gimmicks and I don't have any paint problems or scratches. Very pleased with the figure.
-
Yep very much looking forward to this pack. Damn it all!

Network providers drop and replace shows all the time, it's common place. The only way you get a specific channel you want is to upgrade your service to something else. Comcast did that recently by removing Spike and Hub off the basic plan and replacing them with Telemondo channels, way to piss me off. I ditched my service but my mother ended up picking it back up and upgrading to an HD plan that got more channels so she could watch Bullriding and I could get the Hub back. This type of game doesn't surprise me.

So it's a bit of necroposting but I did come up with an idea I'd like to share. We know, that the file is password protected, doesn't matter which helmet scheme you pick it's protected. By choosing the no adjustment scale for printing the parts will certainly go over the page and you'll have to come up with clever ways to fix the pep pieces. HOWEVER, by selecting adjust before print when it comes on, 99% of these parts will scale appropriately to the page and yuo wont have really any problems getting everything to fit to the page. I went with this recently and I'm nearly done with my helmet. It's a very tight fit but it does work in realitive scale to the design aspect of the helmet in the anime. It should be a little large and padding will help fix that easily. It's a tight fit to place the helmet over your head and I've come up with a solution to that. I was recently inspired by the designing of the BSG helmets of the new series, there are hinge/sliders at the jaw structure connecting to the chin that slide open giving an extension to the front making it much easier to get a helmet on and off your head. I'm looking for a way to incorporate that into my helmet once the casting is done. Currently I'm still in the pep process but it's going VERY well! I've also decided that this will be divided into 2 portions, the main helmet, and the top visor. Because resin will warp light weight items, I felt I could possibly ruin the top visor if it stayed connected to the main body of the helmet. And if something fails all I have to do is repep the top visor versus the entire helmet.
