I’m interested to see how the micro missile pods compare to the Hasegawa version, which I always thought looked slightly too big in 1/72.

And then there's the Bandai set to compare. Personally, I'd like to see the super/strike set available separately.

I was a little concerned that I might have missed out, but I received the notice for my armament sets this morning.

I figured they were just behind on the notice

As far as super/strike weapons, it’s not too bad since they’re in the same box. But as far as packs, that would be difficult for the fighter since it would require new legs and possibly underside parts. As far as the battroid, it would be fairly easy since the parts like panels on the legs were made for swap outs

My sets came in as well. Picked up 4 sets. Not enough to equip all my fighters though. Hopefully pick up more later.

I’ve had one of those sets saved in my Amazon cart for a few years. I wanted to compare the weapons to Hasegawa’s, but I was always reluctant to order it because I assumed the Bandai Super leg and arm parts wouldn’t fit properly with any other brand.

I’d like to swap parts. The micro missile boxes aren’t really my thing, but the triple missile racks from SDFM are. Shame you can’t mix & match.

Why can’t you mix and match?

I mean before you buy. Now I’ll have a heap of missiles I won’t use. I get it from the business side, but it’s a bit annoying.

Oh, I guess I figured for a guy like me the pack gives the options that should already be included in the fighter kits.

Would love to see a Deculture Battroid boxing - A/J/S heads, SDFM/DYRL hands, plus decals for cannon fodder, Alaska guard, and any other schemes not covered.

Valkyrie armaments & ordnance have arrived. Looking good!

Why do I feel like the box could be half as big?

Or at least... give us more missiles per box?

Posting this here, cus it is in regard to a Playmax kit I've had trouble acquiring.

Anyone have experience ordering from Lunapark? I've never heard of them before, so want to find out 1. Are the legit? And 2. What kind of cust. Service they have. ( shipping times, packaging etc.).

It’s definitely a tough time to try and acquire Japanese kits, especially for those of us in the U.S., but if you’re not here, then it will be significantly easier to find them. I would check the toy section, I think I’ve seen Luna park come up over there in discussions about Bandai’s dx line

I have bought a few items from Luna Park over the years.  They are legit, you will get what you ordered.  They are an expensive option compared to many alternatives.  Some of my items came unprotected in soft shipping bags (damaged box, contents were fine), other items were bubble wrapped and in multiple cardboard boxes (great packaging).  The one thing that I have found is that shipping takes a while.  If you have patience and you make sure to email their Customer Service with expectations, then it works out.  It is not the best option, but if you want something that is hard to find then Luna Park may be your only option.  Good luck.

They’re reliable, but slow & their tracking numbers appear to be fictitious. I’ve ordered twice, once on pre-order. It feels like the old 1990’s mail order where you just have to trust the process.
