[metalxmustang]

Hey HobbyLink, can you guys do a video or explain to me on making extra finishes/titanium finishes out-of-the-box. I have a particular problem with nubs on them and I'm not sure what to do :(

[windrarjs]

Macross kits are awesome! i'm gonna wait for the 1/72 YF-29

[tnguyen198821]

Man I agree I hate it when they just fly on in snatchin up yo kids

[aaheng]

does waterslide decals need watter? is it hard to put on?

[hobbylink]

@aaheng Water slide decals do need water, hence the name. They take a little playing with and sometimes they can be little hard if you have never used them but the results are worth it.

[whitewing2]

@hobbylink Similar to children's tatoo?



[aaheng]

[jaja1818]

[spirtspear]

Looks like a cool kit but it looks like they are a bit difficult to transform.

[zanruos88]

yes i will be elooking forward to it

[aaheng]

that kit is cool. but its a bit expensive. 6.396 yen?? thats lots of money. is HLJ trusted. i mean will that come safely?

[hobbylink]

@aaheng Why would we not be trusted? I'm sure if you were to ask any of the thousands of customers we have they would give you only good reviews about our postage and customer service. We are not a small internet shop.

[Vengenz666]

ZOids woooo!



[OrangeTitan2]

climbin in yo windows, snatchin them people up!

[suiton629]

@hobbylink Anyway, what’s with the Macross kit? No more GunPla kits? Hm. Have you ever considered doing SD, HG, and or MG “Let’s Build” video series? I’d like to see that.

[hobbylink]

@suiton629 Clearly we are still doing Gunpla and every week there will be a mention of Gunpla in our episodes. But we have to explore other types of Mecha kits aswell. But Gundam is still our shows long term focus but with some extra spice here and there.

[suiton629]

@hobbylink It’s good to see that you guys are safe first of all. Second, it’s good to see your business and GunPla kits are back up and ready for business. It must be scary to go through an earthquake, tsunami, snow storm, and a nuclear reactor explosion. Being that I live in the east coast of the US, I never have to worry about those things.

[hobbylink]

@suiton629 Honestly we are located in an inland area of Japan where the earthquake only shook us. The tsunami had no affect on our company (damage wise) and the nuclear reactor is having zero affect on anything in our area. 90% Of the media coverage on the nuclear reactors is just hype.

[suiton629]

@hobbylink I kinda figured that a lot of the coverage about the reactors is hype. Hell, they made it sound like all of Japan was in turmoil. Realistically, the northern part of Japan is in trouble, and even at that Japan is already working to fixing the damage. That's something I'm always impressed with the Japanese people. They're so quick to repairing things and a lot of the cool tech stuff and entertainment stuff come from Japan.

[hobbylink]

@suiton629 Smart man, yes there is some problem areas near the nuclear reactor but i never wake up in the morning and think about it. I believe thats the least of our issues. We should be worrying about and supporting the victims of the earthquake and tsunami, thats a problem we can all help to fix.

[suiton629]

@hobbylink Thanks for the kind response. I'm just getting sick & tired of hearing the same thing about Japan's quake, tsunami, and now the reactor. Most people that watch aren't going to donate or even help. They'll just say "OMG! How sad." I think the news media have nothing significant to talk about which is why they've been showing the same thing basically for over 2 weeks now. It's kinda why I don't watch the news on TV anymore. I'd rather read up online to compare what others have to say.

[hobbylink]

@suiton629 Yep its very true, the news stations need eyes to watch their shows and sometimes telling the truth can make a news story a little boring. Hence why you hear some new reports saying that the radiation will travel cross country to America or Korea, it has not even come down to my house 300km away don't see how it will travel across countries. Thanks for your support and hope you enjoy our show!

[thalunizz21]

nice question do you have coupons and if yes how do i get them?

[JunoUnit]

Yaaay! I'm looking forward to the Zoids episode! :D

And I'm glad you guys are doing okay over there.

[b111000]

robot,climbing in your window and snatching ur people up

[6525986]

so its possible t paint that?and make weathering?i have one kit with super parts but im afraid t build it......cause i dont know i have no experiense on macross kits also..

someone help?

[hobbylink]

@6525986 Its just like a Gundam kit, they can be painted and weathered no doubt about it.

[the13thprince]

nice to see the Hobbylink TV team back in business. looking forward to the new episodes

[Dillithium]

Can't wait for the zoid, syd!

Have you decided which you're going to build?

[hobbylink]

@Dillithium We will keep the Zoids episode under wraps, you will just have to watch it!

[Dillithium]

Can't wait for the zoids, Syd!

[StrawHatLaw13]

High five!

[Eucep]

Hmm, not done any macross kit so far, but I'm tempted to make one.

[hobbylink]

@Eucep If you like Gunpla you will like Macross. They can be challenging but so is a Gundam kit when you first start off. Once you build your first one the rest become easier to understand.

[kevinkun]

Hey nice to see you kickin again :-). Yeah I love macross too and hope I could get one of those valkyries especially from Hikaru ichijou (Rick hunter) ones. And did I hear "he's climbing your windows,snatching your people up"? or it is only me.

[MSGSlayer1]

@kevinkun I heard it too. He could've said "It's a plane and it can walk."  Anyway, nice job on changing the pace, Syd.

[poerik]

nice to see your all good .lol

i never build gundam but i watch some times

grtzzz

[onikuy]

they way you say macross kinda bother me try this mac-ross don't say it too fast

[HyakuZaku]

@onikuy it's probably the proper Japanese way to say it maybe, notice how he also says sin-anj not shinajU with a u at the end.

[shadowblack1987]

Been building/painting Gunpla for a long time.

Been thinking of doing a couple Macross kits now, thanks for the vid :)

[hobbylink]

@ArtofModeling Why would we glow in the dark?

[ArtofModeling]

@hobbylink It said my posting is not working I was trying to ask about glow in the dark parts Had Gundam, Gunpla and Macross ever come with glow in the dark parts? But it show that my posting not working and how is show comment pending approval
