What part of "test shot", what it entails and what it is meant to accomplish, don't you understand? As for it being worth the asking price...

Same here.

Exactly. A spy plane offers versatility unattainable by other means. -

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
mechaninac replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
You can't recall a missile. -
Just got my VF-25A from CDJ today; 18 days door-to-door via SAL... not a record by any measure (that goes to a 6 days transit SAL from HS), but not too bad, and the contents were very well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. To be honest, the only retailer that has disappointed me with shoddy boxing, resulting in contents damage, is NinNin; although, N-Y often does a really poor job packaging too... I've just been lucky to never have incurred any damage.
-
Bought my second one with CDJ, myself... their sale was hard to resist. It shipped SAL on the 25th, so it's been 15 days and counting, and nothing yet, but it could take upwards of two weeks for delivery so I'm expecting to get it this week; BTW, you'll like the 25A, it's a lovely bird.

It doesn't look terrible, but it doesn't look that good either; mediocre is how I'd describe my first impression to this last trailer... it may be worth a rental.

Payment issued and PM sent. -
I'd love to see pictures of the final off tool sample myself before committing to a preorder, and the YF-19 always struck me as Ivory in color; the original 1/60 YF-19 was perfect in this regard... make it any version of white, Arcadia, and it's a no sale.
-
Late March 2014 release, likely to be delayed a bit beyond that; preorder made. Thanks for the heads up.

Ooooh, that Priss may be a very bad kit, but you're making it look really good.

Just wait until the little tike hits 2 years old... you'll have NO free time.

I really dig that medium/dark gray version.
-
When has that ever stopped anyone here on MW?
-
If they make it the same off white as what they used on the VF-171EX Alto, that would be just fine too.

Live Action Space Battleship Yamato
mechaninac replied to capt.actionjackson's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Without a doubt. While I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, as there is a lot going for it and there is some good, appropriate, acting in it (specially the guy who played Okita), it's hard to ignore the overwhelming abundance of over-the-top, vaudeville-esque level, cringe worthy, ham acting throughout. I'm sure a lot of it is due to lack of my familiarity with Japanese method acting (they seem to put a lot of emphasis on exaggerated facial expressions and body motions); regardless, it does come across as very jarring to many western audiences.- 450 replies

Mo-Suu-Pii-Dah Inbitoh in 1/48
mechaninac replied to captain america's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hey Captain, would it be feasible to engineer the kit in such a way as to allow easy modding in order to install working joints?... not asking for the kit to be made posable, only to make it easy for the more ambitious among us to make it posable. -
They charged me 1900 Yen SAL... good thing I had 300 Yen in points so the shipping ended up being only 20 Yen more than what HS or HLJ would be.
-
As I wrote in my last post, I did so as well; ordered them at the same time and combined the shipping (SAL) as it may save me a couple of bucks... I can wait.
-
Since I bundled my 25G Super Parts shipping with the yet-to-be-released RVF ones, I'll have to wait awhile before my stuff ships from N-Y... not a big deal as I'm not in any hurry, and having them ship together saves me money, but being forced to pay for the latter because the former has been released was a bit of a bother.

Got my VF-25A from HS in the mail today, 13 days total transit time via SAL... not as good as my previous 7 and 6 days for the VF-25F and VF-27, respectively, but still damn good, and there is no faulting their excellent boxing job which pretty much guarantees the pristine nature of the packed contents. First impressions: Gorgeous color... a grayish beige with a hint of green; I'd call it a light khaki -- taking into account my current lighting, so my perception of it's color may change under other illumination conditions. Wings are not as flat as on my RVF-25... better than my old renewal VF-25F & G, but a slight step back. But at least the gummy antenna is dead straight. Right shoulder block somewhat misaligned so that it does not sit flush with the rest of the upper fuselage... will need to go through a full transformation sequence to correct. Paint apps are perfect. Mold release oil abounds. Tight joints all around. Gunmetal colored gunpod is brilliant... why did Bandai not go this rout with all renewals (I'm aware Ozma's shares the dark colored gun)? The purple stick of the F and RVF is so crappy looking by comparison. Love the canopy tint color in this toy; here's hoping Isamu's 29 will have the same treatment... heck, I wish Arcadia would match it for their upcoming YF-19 too.
