Got a nice little haul of mecha stuff in courtesy of HLJ! Didn't get a 20th anniversary sale freebie though, tch. I guess because I requested shipping on the last day of the sale, but it actually shipped two days later.
>>6404079 I didn't even know a marking set was announced for the Prototype, cool! May be no pics because they don't have the decals ready yet. Has happened before with the Guncannon DT, where the decals were finished so late they mailed them separately.
>>6405233 I also missed the VF-2 preorder. :(
I had set a reminder for myself that morning, but completely forgot by evening and of course my phone was in another room when the alert went off, heh.

>>6408903 But what I was most excited about were these guys! An anon had given a thorough review of these previously and gotten me really interested in them.
Anonymous
>>6408907 Couple things that were new to me; the roadway piece can peg onto the peg-base (you get two bases). A bit too small for a command car, unfortunately.
The bottom of the buildings have holes for stands! I'd always thought the bottoms were just hollow, so that's pretty neat.
>>6408906 Hah, yeah, I realized it right after I hit post. Ah well.
Anonymous
>>6408911 As you might have guessed from the previous pic, I especially wanted to see how these buildings would scale with the Patlabor RDs.
If you look at the size of the doorways on the buildings to either side of Alphonse, I think the buildings scale pretty well with the RD. The buildings should probably be a bit larger in relation to Alphonse, but it's not bad at all.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>6408915 Brocken's signal light club makes the scale discrepancy a bit more obvious, haha, but the buildings still look great as backdrops for Labors.
Really happy with these buildings, and while I'd still hesitate to pay full price for 'em, they're well worth grabbing on sale

Still have yet to watch Code Geass, but upon closer inspection of the Lancelot 'Air Cavalry' (comparing with animation, accessories, fights) it's pretty darn cool.

You should be talking about the new Pacific Rim figures, nothing else is relevant.
Anonymous
>>6408989 I really should, it'll undoubtedly make a good contrast to Fafner which I also just began. It's a plan then.
I didn't say it earlier, but it's pretty neat how the control area for Lancelot is on the back and I'd like to think it can detach in-universe, or its inability to do so something the toy is being accurate about?
>>6409087 But how much is there to talk about this early on? I've only seen images of Gipsy and I like it, it's a good progression. The old one held a Spartan/Mjolnir charm for me though.

>I'd like to think it can detach in-universe, or its inability to do so something the toy is being accurate about? The Knightmare Frame cockpits have an eject block built into them, Lancelot being a prototype doesn't have that since they spent all their money on the latest technology for it and couldn't afford to build it in.
I don't own any Geass RD's yet unfortunately so I dunno if other figures actually have this feature, there was one really dedicated Geass anon that has them all though so if he's around he might know.
Anonymous
>>6409169 >>6409114 I'm not the Code Geass anon you mentioned, but a friend of mine has the older releases of Lancelot and Guren, as well as the Gawain and one other that I can't quite remember the name of.
ANYWAY, unfortunately the figures don't seem to feature the ejection block system that I know of. I do know my friend's Gawain had an opening cockpit though.
Anonymous
>>6409576 Ah, now the ball is in MY court! I, the anon who has collected the entire Geass RD line!
Some of the old releases do have detachable cockpits, the old Guren Flight Type, Akatsuki, Zangetsu, and Gekka. None of the others do.

Given the discount on PlayAsia because of the purchasing of SRW V, plus credit I had from them, I got this at 100$. Seems pretty fair. I can't wait for it to arrive, from the video review it has the perfect articulations I have waited for years on a Robot Spirits (only Ingram 1 has similar shoulder joints)

Force Impulse and Luna's Zaku Warrior are a solid pair of RDs!
>>6409792 Nice! Let us know what you think of it once it arrives.
>>6410123 >>6410130 >>6410133 Wow, that looks fantastic! The light-up feature is seriously awesome, I wonder if the promo image of Bandai's Qan[T] is hinting at a similar feature.
Anonymous
>>6412194 The Zaku Warrior is particularly nice. My one minor gripe is that you can't get the Zaku's legs to pose straight down (G1 Transformer style). The way they are in
>>6412194 is as close as they'll come together, unless I'm missing something.
Not a big deal, as I wouldn't ever really pose the Zaku without placing it into an A-stance of some kind, but it just seems like an unusual limitation. Aside from that gripe, the RD is a great representation of the MS. I'm shocked Bandai never re-painted this into at least a grunt green.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>6412218 Force Impulse is nice too, I just like the design of the Zaku more, hehe. Articulation is excellent; getting Impulse a two-handed grip on the anti-ship sword was a breeze. My one gripe for Impulse is with the anti-ship sword, though. The sword splits apart to accommodate the Jesus-impaling gimmick, which is to be expected. But when you have the sword assembled, the connection point between the two halves is glaringly obvious. Bandai definitely could have done a much better job with that.

And big thanks to
>>6400782 for the heads up on the $20 Bozune! Arrived the other day, and as with most Dunbine RDs it's one beefy figure. I love this design, if only for the unique way it holds its rifle.

Any update on that option set for this baby here? I love me the ARX-8 as its the first MB toy I got and the reveal of its option set makes me moist. But sadly still no word on a release date as far as i know

Quoted By:
>>6424863 The Metal build of the ARX-8 bombed, so Bandai never released the fly pack. Now that a new season is coming, Laevatein will have a boost in popularity and I expect a re-release soon with new marks and a fly pack sold separately, like they did for the Seven Sword GN Blaster. However, considering QuanT in December and maybe the Arbalest later, you have to wait at least a year, I'm afraid.
PS: I'm also waiting for that Booster. If we're lucky, maybe they'll get it out with the Arbalest by making it compatible for both.

Granted, as a new line it could be that they didn't make too many of these, especially with the (hopefully) upcoming upgrades for these initial two.
As a final note, it's pretty amusing that they adapted a scene from the story to make a little comic celebrating the announcement of the figures.

The main thing that will get in the way of that is generally going to be the design of the mecha itself, and Vilkiss happens to be one of the most particularly finicky RDs due to its thin limbs, lots of pointy bits sticking out all over, and the parts-forming transformation. Personally I still like the RD Villkiss, but definitely don't take it as representative of the line as a whole.

Knight's and Magic on the other hand is all but pure mecha-mania and they've really done a good job (from what's out there so far) simplifying Earlcumber and Guyale, while keeping them good looking, with a good range of motion and size.

Pacific Rim is still very much an untested IP.

Not even sure what I felt was missing, maybe the hype made me expect something more over the top. Totally see why some people love it though.

I missed the pre-order on AmiAmi. BBTS has it for 249.99 with 4 buck shipping. I know the figure itself is much cheaper from import sites, but I've never ordered a SoC so I don't know what the shipping rates would be like. Could they be considered comparable, and not a terrible price to order from BBTS?

>>6434136 Honestly? Grab it from BBTS or Amazon. With shipping and without a pre-order discount you're not going to beat the price there. It's a $40 or so difference between what HLJ was offering as a discount and what Amazon's price is, and shipping is going to eat at least $30 of that.

Just ordered ANIME full armor Gundam. I've Ben holding off on any RDs for the ANIME versions but I'm a sucker for army green suits so I had to. The new Sniper is going to be basically this mold, right? I might get two to be this guy's squad if I like him enough.

>>6435029 This is perfect. Been working on a high-quality chogokin shelf and this can easily replace the HGUC Kampfer that feels so place.

Just spent a little time detailing my RD Gouf. Amazing what some panel lining, a few decals, and some clear coat can do.
