General Rasp Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Got these two last week. I know I'm super late on getting the Metal Builds. But I'm just planning on getting Setsuna's Suits. For some reasons, his units is not so heavy redesigned like Kira's Freedoom and Strike Freedom. But yeah, they're super expensive. Also, the DX Perceval came with bended head lasers. Any way that you can remove the head lasers? Can I just pull it out without damaging the pegs? Where did you get the Repair III? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It'll spell the end of my wallet if Bandai started releasing metal builds of classic UC mobile suits. Don't really care for any mobile suits past the Char's Counterattack era. If i may tempt ya, news is that bandai is releasing a MB F91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 That tank is HUGE!!!!! that's what she said! *cough* I mean.. it is eh! Is it 1/18 scale? I think it's 1/12.. let me just google that... yes is 1/12! Yeah, I've been eyeing that tank for a while but just never puled the trigger on it. It looks amazing! I absolutely love it! I wish I had the skills needed to up the detail on it.. a bit of weathering, some (minor) battle damage or scuffs.. might have to hand it over to Lancelot for that! hehe!

no3Ljm Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I lost the comparison photos that I took of between the HWR Monster and the Girls und Panzer tank when I returned my (potentially explosive) Samsung Note 7.. forgot to back up some things.. this gives a much better idea on how big these bloody tanks actually are! the HWR is big as it is but the tanks almost dwarfs it! *snip* That looks big! How much was it again? Where did you get the Repair III? Mandarake. If i may tempt ya, news is that bandai is releasing a MB F91 A big fan of UC here. But not the Formula series. This will be smaller than the current Metal Build Gundams, right? If they're following the standard 1/100 scale, then this one is 3cm shorter than Exia.

Slave IV Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) I've seen similar for less than $200...Here, for example.

warrhead Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Panzer vor!!! yep so this happened! loved the anime! and when I found out these huge tanks existed along with the scale figures to match I knew I had to have a set of my very own! and wow does it look awesome! This thing is HUGE!!! nicely detailed and the character figures are so cute! panzer01.jpgpanzer02.jpgpanzer03.jpgpanzer04.jpg panzer05.jpgpanzer06.jpgpanzer07.jpgpanzer08.jpg What scale is this tank?

Edit: Oh, and here for the same version and yeah, several as in a few hundred... I saw the other type of tank from the series (the one from HLJ) but I prefer the movie version tank! I paid about 40k yen posted for the tank and the figures. so yeah several hundred.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Oh yeah, the figures included make that a really good deal. That le mans car is beautiful by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Oh yeah, the figures included make that a really good deal. That le mans car is beautiful by the way. I saw both the tank and the girls brand new from a few other places including NY but couldn't justify the extra hundreds on top just for getting brand new. The Autoart D-Type is a really nice thing and I had one before but I also had the Exoto D-type and that thing was just insane how much detail and build quality went into it! I'd love/prefer to have another Exoto again but I cant justify the ridiculous price they demand these days.. They start on ebay at about $1300 (aud) which is about double what I paid originally for mine! kicking myself for selling it off.. but the money did go towards more Valkyries so I don't feel so bad..

Am still contemplating on the F91 as im not really a formula one fan. If bandai releases a EX-S, GP-01/03 etc, its an instant buy for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 And you have not touched freedom, strike freedom and destiny variants Nope. And no plans on doing it too. As I said before, even if I like Kira's Suits, I don't like the designs on the Metal Builds. They changed too much. I don't mind changes but they somehow overdone it. I still prefer the Freedom designs from the MG kits. Though Version 2 not included. And that's why I prefer Setsuna's on the Metal Builds. They still like 90% the same as the MG kits. But if the Freedoms were done like close to the MG kits, I'm all for it. Even for the price they're going now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks spanner! I was really please with their service & packing. After handling it just in Fighter mode I can see where the term "Floppy" comes from, I love it and very happy I could find one.... but IF Arcadia were to make a Version 2.0, I say bring it on!!!!

Will you try to get the other SV-51 variants? (Nora & CF) they are certainly worth getting! all three together look the business! and yes a renewal SV-51 would be of pure epic proportions! especially so as they renewed the VF-0 Valkyrie's! And the SV really lags behind quite significantly now.. C'mon Arcadia! give the people what they want already!

NOW GO AND START GETTING V2s until they release V3s! ahhh but you see buying v2 1:60 VF-1 Valks costs a considerable amount more than any of these HM-R's do.. and the thought of a v3 is downright frightening! Im sure it would be an awesome thing as its pretty much hard to beat a v2 as it is but the prospect of buying all of them to replace all my v2's is brain pain inducing..

I definitely want to get Nora's SV-51 as I have both the Yamato & Arcadia Shin 0A. After doing some Barrel Rolls with Ivanov today as well some pics, it's a good, very fun toy. Yet as an official owner of one, I can see where the guys at Arcadia could make some massive improvements to this design and make this one of the most definitive Macross toys made!
