Falcon

I'm hoping 2017 is in the first weekend of October- planning a US trip around then.

There were two books (booklets?) released for the Kawamori exhibit... I already have a copy of one of them, but need the other, and Mr March is only interested in the white book because that has Macross line art we need/want (while the black book is of purely casual interest).

I don't think I've seen the black one. Would love to see that one in the future- wonder what's on it?

• The artbook from Shoji Kawamori's THE TRANSFORMATION exhibit (the one with the white cover, 2 copies)

Are you asking for 2 copies of the same or that there were 2 different copies? I was always under the impression that there was only one...

Wonder if there really is a 1/60 Bandai YF-19 with Delta coming along so soon...

Would be interesting to compare that with the Arcadia and Advance.

Collectors price. It is a pre-owned item.

You'd think that with the preorder around the corner it'd be cheaper.

Why is it 18,000+ normally but they charge over 47,000!?

Saburo you need to get that book out, mate!

You'd make a mint from people like me.

So it's just a re-issue with no fixes? Don't think many of us who got the first YF-19 from Arcadia would really feel the need to go in for another- though it is a YF-19...

Is the Barbatos like a Metal Build or is it like a MG type design?

IIRC, they should fit on the arms..not sure about the wings

Thanks, Mechapilot! Now to actually get an Igear Destroyer...

Does anyone know if Igear Skywarp's guns can fit on another Igear conehead like a Ramjet?

Man, that trailer was all kinds of awesome.

Has to be one of the movies I've got to see in 2016

Yes let's blame the marketing guys. The director and producers had to have some review over the trailer.

You don't just hand over the movie to the marketing guys and tell them to do their thing without reviewing it. Oops no one wants to see our movie because the marketing guys gave away the ending. If only we had someone reviewing their work.

For some reason, I've heard about how marketing can sometimes contradict director wishes from other movies as well. Apparently Terminator Genisys was the same. I struggle to understand why they'd give that plot twist away in the trailer instead of on the big screen.

Was Batman holding a gun near the end!? Tell me that ain't so!

Well, Amiami sold out as usual

Couldn't get one.

Saburo, you definitely need to publish a Valkyries photo book. I think it would sell well.

I second/third/<insert number here> it!

I'm very sure people here are interested in a book with photos of the Valks you've shown. They look so good!

That was relatively painless...

So Red Frame is on pre-order Thursday but the Destiny is somewhere on 30 October to 1 November?

Strange way of doing it...

Would have thought both would be on at the same time or it'd be spaced out differently...

The Destiny MB is really ambiguous...

Bump!

VF-11's sold and some price drops!

where are you in the world? Looking at the Ivanov and maybe the 22B... and maybe the Ravens

I live in Melbourne, Australia.

Hope that helps. PM me if you want pics or other details.

Added new items and removed old ones.

Tamashii Nations '15 exhibition exclusive:

Metal Build Destiny (Heine Westenfluss)

Does this mean it's not a web exclusive or standard issue? Will be hard to get then?

Not really, he was suggesting Arcadia make non-transforming completed models like Alter did.

My bad. Clearly I wasn't reading it properly

Or how about, smaller simpler toys with more detail?

How about some 1/100 scale Valkyrie fighters that don't transform but has every last marking tampo printed on, like a pro-built Hasegawa?

Alter made 2 fantastically detailed Yukikaze aircraft models. Completely built, painted, and all markings tampo printed on. Plus tons of optional ordnance. an included stand, and an option for displaying in flight or on the ground. All for just over US$100.

If a small outfit like Alter can do it with Yukikaze, Arcadia can do it with Macross.

Love the Alter designs but I think you're a bit unfair- they don't transform and have far less moving parts as a result. VF's have moving parts and designers have to keep the designs accurate as possible while still having transform into another design that will be scrutinised.

I own all 3 Alter Yukikaze designs and they're fantastic- but comparing them with VF's is like comparing apples to oranges. It's unrealistic to expect the same price in that regard.

Thanks, Renato! Much appreciated.
