  1. So now i wonder if the bigwigs in Yamato managed to kill off all the moles in the company so as to give out as little information as possible about its macross products.

    Here's wishful thinking guys....Yamato might still have the YF-19FP in the pipe..... :p

    Can i assume that all previous theories of Yamato not renewing their Macross license might be voided due to this development?

    they probably didnt kill the moles, its possible they were fired.

    I asked about the YF-19FP last WF, not likely was the answer.

    It could just be that they didnt renew their M0 or M+ licence, and kept their DYRL or SDFM licences

  2. I wish there was some truth to that. Honestly, ever since Rey hugged Gilbert, I had the idea that Rey just might be a she. Changing the voice could be done with practice or through an operation.  I wouldn't be surprised if a twist like that was to actually be used.

    Of course, we don't know that those boobs are real do we. They could be false. Rey could actually be a guy pretending to be a girl pretending to be a guy :lol: How's that for a plot twist!

    Anyway, I don't really care about Rey. Just as long as they don't make Lunamaria a man, then I will really scream.

    heh... looks like you guys dont see enough Destiny dojinshi, it gets MUCH more interesting :p:rolleyes:;)

  3. IF this is indeed true I'm surpised MW hasn't come up with pics. What was the fair this guy from TBDX was referring to. :(

    probably Tokyo Superfest. Very simillar to Wonderfest but smaller.

  4. looks like the Cosmic Region series is now out they are showing up on ebay, looks nice, i am not a big fan of the box design however.

    Sorry to say this, but this is crap. Or to be more specific there is a good chance of you getting a crappy one.

    QC and paint job seems to be very random on the ones I have seen so far.

    I have seen a bunch with parts that are sticking out at odd angles, messy paint and various other cosmetic defects.

    Does not meet the standards set by the regular Fix Figuration line. The base sculpt looks good. Maybe future production runs will be better.

  5. Economically feasible?  What does that mean?  Are you saying Orb has a superior economy compared to ZAFT and EA because the latter two do not mass produce transformable MS?  In other words, define the words economically feasible in the context of been able to produce transformable MS compared in relation to ZAFT and EA not mass producing them.

    Transformable MS almost never reach mass production due to the costs of the extra mechanisms required for the transformation. Both manufacturing it, and supplying maintenance to it.

    Orb, however, has a mass-produced transforming mobilesuit in addition to its Astray units. This suggests that they have superior manufacturing facilities that allow for the manufacture of transforming MS without excessive rises in costs per unit.

    I hope you two dont mind me joining into this very well thought out and interesting conversation.

    The Murasame might not be as economicaly feasable as you think. Orb could have undertaken the project dispite the likely high cost of the unit.

    Orb has been set up simmilar to Japan. Small landmass and high technological base. So per capita income is likely higher than the average Alliance member. So their defense budget would be small on an absolute scale, but relative to the size of the land they must defend quite large.

    So they might decide that rather than spending money for 2 cost effective land and air units, combining the 2 into one cost ineffective transforming unit would be worth it.

    Less hangar space would be needed, and less pilots. Land and personnel being a premium at Orb.

  6. how much was that max vf-1a 1/48?

    standard retail for a non fast pack 1/48. 14,800yen plus 5% sales tax.

    Pretty much the only way to find these now is to go out into the boonies. This was about halfway between Osaka and Kobe.

  7. black box... VF-1A Max gaaah who DOESNT have those in stock

    where have you been howard?

    everyone up in this piece is looking for a 1A max. not me personally, but a lot of guys on the baords are still looking for one. and you could make some extra money. ;)

    I thought there was an oversupply of those. Remember someone unloading a couple cases at $90 a pop. Thats cheaper than what I can get over here. I figured no one would pay 14,800 yen for one, much less any comission on top of that.

  8. While heading to a remote suburb to search for some Sandtrooper corporals for a MacrossWorlder, I on a whim decided to take the long way around a river. Would waste alot of time but it was my day off.

    I after going down one of the side streets I noticed the ubiquious "gundam inside" sign. Ah, small mom and pop indy plamo store. So I checked it out.

    Much to my pleasure it had a toy selection. Even Yamato 1/48s

    Going down the line...

    black box... VF-1S Roy, ahh ton of those out now

    black box... VF-1A Max gaaah who DOESNT have those in stock

    Red box... VF-1J Millia poor millia, just dont get no love

    Blue box... VF-1J Max a bit harder to find but still nothing exceptional

    Light blue box... VF-1J Hikaru since I skipped on getting the separate armor pack, might have to pick one up.

    GREY BOX!!!... No, couldnt be... Carefully take it off the shelf...

    YES 1/48 VF-1A LOW VISIBILITY LIMITED VERSION

    I check the price... straight up original retail of 14,800yen. And its not used, its being sold at a normal retail store. Condition is near mint. Its wrapped in plastic so no shelf wear.

    I ask if they have any more, unfortunatly no.

    So now I have my own Low Vis. And I hope to keep it that way. Of the 6 Low Vis I have found so far, I sold 5 all to MacrossWorlders. For the, IMHO reasonable price of $180. So I think I have earned the right to keep this one.

  9. C'mon, give me a break Yamato. Bundle it with a CF-1A already.

    Now that is an idea. A 1/48 VF-1A CF would not sell well enough to justify a full run of 15,000. But if they bundled it with the GPB they could.

    It is also cannon that the CF used the GPB.

    How many people would rather have a CF with their GPB over a 1J? There are many 1J still unsold from various sources.

  10. Yeah, getting about that time.

    Since not everyone might be into trading cards. I would like to have everyone who wants to get in on the Gamers promotional Asuka card drawing to let me know. I will probably have the drawing this weekend with Rob as a witness.

  11. It looks like that most of the BanDai Patlabor kits are being re-released as they are available almost in every model shop here!

    The only kits that cannot be found are the EX kit (Special Control Vehilcle), which will never be released again and the add-on flashing lights for the normal Ingram 1,2 and 3 kit.

    Strange, no new run of Bandai Patlabor kits here in Japan. Still some stock leftover from the 2001 production though. Maybe someone in HK found a secret stash?

    Dont forget about the EX TL Labor 1/35. Got 3 of em my self :wub:

  12. Everything I got at wonderfest is long gone now.

    There is no "Official" blanket one product per customer rule at wonderfest. Dealers can sell as much of a single item as they wish. They can also make their own more limiting rules, such as the lottery for the Liquid Stone YF-19.

    There is an Unofficial one per customer tradition, enforced by the person standing behind you who wants to buy some also. As the southern saying goes "Git thea fustest, with thu mostes"

  13. It has come to my attention that there are some of you who wanted the Gokigen-Seimetsu/EminencE battloid conversion kit for the 1/72 Hasegawa VF-22s but do not have it.

    This is very unfortunate, and could have been easily avoided. The whole reason I made this thread is so that everyone would have advance notice of what would be showing up at the next Wonderfest. Everyone had plenty of time to contact your prefered seller (Me, Noel, Seichi, Valk009, etc,...) and have that person secure one for you.

    Several people contacted me to buy things for them at wonderfest, and I did. Had more people contacted me, I could have gotten more.

    Simply posting that you want something, and hoping that a seller decides to pick one up for you, not even knowing if you are willing to pay for it, is not a very reliable way to go about aquiring rare items where the demand exceeds the supply. After the event is over, it becomes a sellers market. You will most likely see the item on ebay.

    By taking the initiative, and contacting a seller ahead of time, you have greatly increased the chance of getting your item.

  14. dude, that guy is really funny!

    now I really want to go to Japan and teach english while I still have the chance!

    15 year old japanese chix grabbing my dick and asking "biggu dikku??"!! hell yeah!!! :D:D

    Let us know where to send the soap-on-a-rope to after you try that.

    From his use of :D:D I`m fairly sure Panzer was just joking.

    But seriously you will note that Azrael tried his best to AVOID having his "Biggu Dikku" grabbed. One of the things that people hiring teachers for young kids check for, is that they do not have any pedophilic intents.
