    SCOOP thread!

    Hi guys -maybe there is a thread for this already - but are you aware of the VF-1S roy and hikaru reissues of the 1/60 line V2 - aparently they are a "plus" version... whatever that means... Link on HLJ site: http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00179 If anything as a 'scoop' it only became available, I think as of a little while ago (like, today).
  2. got a replacement arm last year and it was knurled. It broke and I got another one a few weeks ago... That one wasn't knurled. I got those through hlj... Not sure if overdrives ones are, though assuming they order fresh ones from yamato, then... I'd imagine they wouldn't be knurled either.
  3. Just a thin screwdriver is all thats needed... Nothing fancy - just one that you can fit into the small holes without scraping the plastic or paint of the valk
  4. Ive attached some pics. First pic shows the 3 screws you need to undo - then proceeds to show some of the steps i did. Sorry they're not labelled or anything- but you should get the gist.
  5. Yup, as Chogokin said, you need to remove the 3 screws from the main body section. After that, you'll see the swivel pieces - unscrew them and screw the new ones in. Easy as pie. Then rescrew the backpiece on. Just make sure you use a hobby screwdriver!
  6. Which part is it? Is it for a 1/60 valk? If its a replacement arm for the 1/60 then I have some pictures that might help.
  7. I agree - I only have the tomahawk and that thing rocks.
  8. Agreed: this looks really really nice. Whats the difference between the C and B, in terms of actual model design?
  9. Yeah my experiences with HLJ have been good too... When I told them my VF-1S had the broken shoulder they sent me a replacement arm free of charge! I find the price diff btw them and overcharge is nothing when sent out by SAL. IF sent out by SAL!!! I am still considering getting either the CF 1A or the CF 1J... I can't decide! I think the 1A is almost too dark, while the 1J is too light! (though from what ive seen the TV super parts look better on the 1J)...
  10. Some did some didn't - Prime and megatron G1's tended to still go for the collectors price, but toys like blitzwing and some of the cars tended to go way down - like by half! - it also depended how mint they were.
  11. You could always display it in the feezer in an attempt to improve the magnetic force
  12. Well I had to get rid of my low viz v1 (on ebay now actually) to get some more 1/60's... Still fingers crossed (though wont be disappointed if they dont) for a 1/60 rendition
  13. Im in the same boat! I just cancelled 2 VF-1's due to extreme lack of funds. This VF-11 looks better all the time (I like that wheel do-hikky that they have there too) - but 300au is just too much!
  14. Same with mine - nowhere near as noticeable as on the other valks
  15. I agree with all of the above. Im no genius, nor CAD engineer (I am an engineer tho... +1 for me), but to claim CAD costs them money is a bit of a farce. Particularly seeing as all they really to is remould heads and make slightly different paint apps... Copy. Paste. add colour. New design... What field did you work in that used ABS??? Ditto again with the VF-11B - Im gonna wait for a review first. Masterpiece grimlock and the VF-1s have preference, as they should (...). It looks cool so far though.
