    Bandai DX VF-31

    That's a big price jump even by proxy fee standards... is BiJ reliable? You'd think with that price point they'd be shipping the everything with gold plated air cushions in a titanium box or something.

    So there is no way people overseas can order the second VF-31J that Hayate piloted? Was hoping to get this one...
  3. Yeah, that is pricey. Wonder what other sites will be cheaper? There a link for Arcadia's stock directly?
  4. I doubt any of us are missing the point- Robofail is a joke and what they do is cruelly baiting those still gullible to believe their lies to continue throwing their $ into a failed and dying franchise. They deserve more than mockery and scorn with the way they make Macross products that much harder to attain. That being said, I laughed for months about the failed Kickstarter. That was a special fail even by Harmony Gold's standards.
  5. Was hired? Really? I just googled Jon Wan Robotech together and most of the articles that have come up are only "being circled", "attached".or "reportedly". NONE listed themselves as confirmed hirings. Same when you substitute Jon Wan with Nic Mathieu. All the hits state there is "in talks". Sounds to me that you need to provide proof that there are many credible sites stating that it was a confirmed hiring...
  6. I really hope this one does well. Would love to see more of Valerian in the future. Worried about the marketing though. Not sure it'll pull enough people to make it a qualified hit. Hope I'm proven wrong.
  7. I'm torn- will never buy anything that would provide any $ to Harmony Gold but they look real good! Seeing as they're probably 1/72 scale and Harmony Gold sympathizers I'll give it a miss

    Hi-Metal R

    If the pre-order's confirmed, it has to be one of the easiest pre-orders I've had in quite some time!

    Just pre-ordered with amiami. Surprised it's there. Is it because people cancelled for hlj or it's acting up?
  10. Looks like the Mig has got conformal fuel tanks like the new F-16's we keep seeing...
  11. The animation quality for an 80's show was impressive. Was it ever a Japanese show first or just using animators from around that region only?
  12. Sounds interesting- photos would be good. Do they have a big Macross section? Japan's the only one I know and I think it's one that is recognised internationally- the creativity and great designs has left quite an impression on the international scene.
  13. I've always thought the Japanese one is Wonderfest.
  14. Think it's more for people like me that didn't have a chance to get all the Model Graphix issues of the past that were around. This is a neat way of getting them all in one book as opposed to hunting for several issues. I'm happy I bought it.
  15. That art also in Tenjin's latest book?

    Hope I got the order at HLJ. CDJapan was quickly gone too.
  17. http://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/28/politics/us-air-force-f-15-eagles-retire/index.html Love the F-16 (without those fugly conformal tanks) but not sure that's a great idea. Then again, I'm a little strange as I like the idea of new Gen 4.5 planes (something the US don't really do other than update older fighters) to complement Gen 5 stealth ones. Thoughts?
  18. NY buys from brick and mortar stores probably at the market rate and then mark it up in order to make a profit. Don't see how that's a problem as it allows international buyers like us an opportunity to get something that is rather hard to get even for locals. If you find the price too dear, don't buy from them. Generally speaking their first time and even their second time batches don't go up ridiculously high but you get crazy prices by the end- you seen some of the prices of their later Metal Builds!? Don't think they're sketchy but I do think they're a bit too ambitious with some of their prices. Funnily enough, when I was in Tokyo I saw sellers that were doing this in Akihabara with higher prices than NY for things that are readily available for a third of the cost in brick and mortar stores! :0

    Is that Isamu custom a 1/60 VF-31 or is it a 1/72 kit? Looks amazing!
