    Not playing the pre-order game on this version. If it's available at/or bellow retail upon release I might buy a copy; as nice as it is, it's still not an absolute must-have in my book, like the 30th.

    There can be only one...

    ^All that means is that HLJ, and others, have sold out of their preorder allotments. The 1/48 X-Wing isn't a limited edition kit, AFAIK, so they'll get restock after release, and should be available as an in-stock or back-order item for a long time to come.

    There were no transformable Tomcats or Fulcrums in Macross Zero; they were just upgraded (avionics mostly) versions of those fighters. That being said, 1/60 scale F-14 Kai and Mig-29 toys with the opening cockpits, removable pilot figures, varied ordnance, and retractable landing gears would rock!

    There are very few things in this world more entertaining to witness than unbridled fanboy indignation (it's always so devoid of grounded objectivity), and to see if their collective tantrum actually has any effect.

    This should come as a sticker prominently applied to every Toynami product.

    Except that Saburo's pics make every single toy he photographs look far, far, better than the actual piece in real life. Images that good could be considered false advertising...

    If you pre-ordered in UDS and selected pay later, just contact them through their website and request to be invoiced in JPY when the payment request is issued. If you've already paid, you're SOL.

    Wow! Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today and forgot to put on their sense of humor... You'd think that the " " would be a dead giveaway that I was being facetious.

    Good taste? Wisdom? Common sense? Self respect?

    So, according to photos, we're either getting navy blue (too dark and saturated) with white (too light, and wrong), or royal blue (too light and bright, and very wrong) with light gray/off white (about right). Given the variability due to different cameras, lighting conditions, and background factors, it looks like we'll need to wait for people to start getting theirs and report on what the final colors truly are.

    I want to be proven wrong, but this has all the hallmarks of ending up as another Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

    I'd say forget about Arcadia re-releasing the YF-19 anytime in the next 2 years, if not longer, because the first run came out not too long ago, and, as jenius pointed out, Bandai is in the game with their VF-19 Advanced DX. Arcadia could, however, release a VF-19A Ravens in order to get more use out of the tooling, as long as they hold the licensing rights to allow them t do so, and the foresight to see that the demand is there.

    ^ Is it made of nougat?

    Whether a typo or not, that's just brilliant!

    Bail Organa orders the protocol droid's memory erased; I don't recall any such directive concerning R2, but I could be wrong.

    Light grey would've been ideal; at the very least they should've made the belly an off-white like Yamato's VF-0S. While it's impossible to tell for certain from the posted picture, I've a feeling you're right. The blue, however, although not perfect, looks a lot better than previous images would indicate, so I'm cautiously optimistic about the overall pallet.

    ^ If you mean better at siphoning copious amounts of cash from your wallet, then I agree with you.
  19. mechaninac
    Regarding the 1/72 subjects, Bandai definitely could, but will they?... which is why I added "...unless Bandai decides to delve into..." to my second sentence. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for them to do so, although my wallet begs to differ, but I don't expect them to go there.
  20. mechaninac
    Other than a couple more Gatlantis ships, haven't they run out of subject matter for 1/1000 line? And unless Bandai decides to delve into the Gamillas fighters and fighter bombers, maybe something from Gatlantis or Cosmo Navy, wouldn't that be the case for 1/72 as well?

    Kaiyodo has done some Disney Pixar stuff in their Revoltech line, but I would sure prefer anything Disney to be made by Max Factory/Good Smile under the Figma line. Here's the wish list I entered: 1) Figma versions of characters, male and female, from Super Dimension Fortress Macross. 2) Figma versions of characters, male and female, from Macross Plus. 3) Figma versions of characters, male and female, from Macross Frontier. 4) Figma versions of characters, male and female, from Space Battleship Yamato 2199. 5) Figma versions of all four Knight Sabers, in their respective armor suits, from Bubblegum Crisis and/or 2040, plus a Boomer. 6) Figma versions of Batou, Togusa, Aramaki, Ishikawa, etc. from GitS SAC to go with the recently released Major Motoko Kusanagi. 7) Figma versions of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, "Radical" Edward with Ein, Vicious, and Julia from Cowboy Bebop. Figma renditions of historical warriors: Spartan, Greek Hoplite, Roman Centurion, various Roman Gladiators (Murmillo, Secutor, Thracian, etc.), Samurai warriors, Shinobi, different versions of Medieval Knights, Templar Knight, Apache brave, Lakota warrior, Western frontier US cavalryman, etc. Do I expect any of what I've outlined to come to fruition? No, but I can dream, can't I?

    Happy to report that the annoying, mocking sound of chirping crickets has been replaced by the pitter-patter of nasty, and cute, little baby crabs. Awesome as always Cap'n.

    Here anime25k8, I saw that these have gone up for preorder on AmiAmi and thought of you... Too bad they're non-articulated and rather small, but the sculpts' resemblances to the characters are uncanny.

    It's the difference between shoestring TV production and Movie budget; think TOS Enterprise vs. Motion Picture Refit 1701... the same, but different.
