    I'm guessing it's a screw cover of some sort, maybe from under the chest, or somewhere in the legs?
  2. Chronocidal
    I mean, of course they're better. Bandai finally moved from 1/100 scale into 1/60. Now if they'd just make a 1/48 pilot for their 1/48 VF-1....

    Wait, does the kit come with both cockpit options? Or did someone scratch build the canopy on that one? Seriously though, that is gorgeous. It warms my heart to, after over a decade, FINALLY see a 171 in something remotely resembling actual squadron markings. It looks so good without all of the Bandai splatter on the design.

    I would love to see them re-release that one, maybe in the new plastic packaging. If I could find some way to reproduce the plastic clamshell from the WWM release, I would love to repackage all of my VF-25s in those.
  5. Chronocidal
    Yeah, I know mine had that too, as well as some sort of little silhouette of the VF-1 that it was meant to mount to inside of that bubble. Mine was reboxed by Testors though, I remember that much. They were definitely a unique little thing, I was always a little confused why they included screws for certain parts, but still required you to glue it together.

    So I've wondered this for over 30 years at this point. What does "Pitaban" mean? Is that just some nickname they gave that line of kits? At the time I got one, I thought it was some alien name for the VF-1.

    Honestly, I'm at the point where I would much rather have exposed screws than screw covers I have to destroy to tighten the joints when they go floppy.

    Holy cow.. I.. kind of want to grab a pile of the old Testors/Nichimo 1/200 VF-1s, just because I think one of those may have actually been one of my first model kits ever. I remember playing with it at around age four. That is just an insane pile of awesome.

    Huh, not a terrible Tornado, though the Falcon just is a really bad platform for a transformer to begin with. The combined mode doesn't look great, but it was always pretty dorky. Anyhow, back to official stuff.
  10. Chronocidal
    Actually.. I was thinking of the original G1 combo of the F-16 and Tornado, but apparently the green one above was already Dreadwing. Granted, a much better looking version of him than the kibblemonster previously shown. I really would love to see someone pull off the original combo jet/bot though.
  11. Chronocidal
    Man, I would love so much to see a masterpiece-level Dreadwing pair someday, either official or third party.
  12. Chronocidal
    Yeah, this is no surprise. Given the issues I've seen coming from other manufacturers in China, I do not want them to rush to release this.
  13. Chronocidal
    Man, and I thought For Answer was a bad future.. I'm guessing that's a coronal ejection wrecking the planet? I'm amazed there's anything left to fight over.
  14. Chronocidal
    I like bother colors, so I'm not really torn over it, but I do think the HMR makes a nice cheaper option for if you want to try and weather one yourself, without wrecking the Arcadia version.
  15. Chronocidal
    I'm starting to wonder if there isn't some sort of background business deal going on, actually. This is like the fourth one now that looks like they just shrunk an Arcadia. The similarities are kind of bizarre.
  16. Chronocidal
    I just never touch them on any kit I have, regardless of subject. At least in this case many people have a large inventory of Hasegawa markings to make use of.
  17. Chronocidal
    Yeah, I don't think they actually have any idea what their target market for these kits is. Trying to mimic the easy builds of Bandai kits with stickers and color-molded parts, but then they require cement.
  18. Chronocidal
    Think they've been out for a while now, I got my stock notice from AE on the 25th.
  19. Chronocidal
    Sure thing, once I get my set I plan on mixing and matching back and forth to compare, but it might be a while. I'm not planning on shipping out my packs until next year, so I can bundle them and my HMR VF-0S with my Angelbirds VF-1.

    I actually remember him most from Matlock, he played Conrad, one of the private investigators. Always enjoyed the characters he played, it's sad to lose him.
  21. Chronocidal
    I tried this as well, and the thicker wing and different hinge meant the old armored boosters wouldn't attach to my 31AXs. The clip to go around the tail would need to be enlarged. I am curious if they made it adjustable so it will still attach to the regular 31s though.
  22. Chronocidal
    Honestly.. I kind of wonder if we're at a point where someone with a very broken understanding of English is browsing these forums, and thinking all of these "DON'T DO THIS" statements are actually the opposite, and forwarding them to Bandai as feedback on what they should be doing. It would explain a few things..
  23. Chronocidal
    That is a good trick, my stacks don't generally go that high though. One thing I do tend to do is rotate the box directions depending on what's in them, and I'll often use Bandai's styrofoam-filled packing as a support between rows of cardboard and plastic trays.
  24. Chronocidal
    At this point, I've 3D-Tetris'd the heck out of all my boxes. It's fun finding the size ratios between the Bandai and Yamarcadias to see how many of each it takes to make an even stack.
  25. Chronocidal
    Do you pack them away by flattening them, or just stacking them in bins? I think at one point I used the VF-1 super pack bundle boxes to store several layers of plastic trays combined, and then folded the empty boxes flat to save space.
