Man. I wish Bandai were as big as Hasbro and the like so they could churn out pallets of awesome Macross toys on a regular basis. 🙁

Bandai Namco is bigger than Hasbro.

Try checking under the spare head?

Mine says "(A1) Product Payment".  That could mean I paid and still need to pay for shipping, or it could mean "we have your money and you'll never see it or the product ever again!"

That means you Put in an order though Yoyakunow and paid for it. The next one you should get is (A2) Pre-order confirmation from maker or distributor. Which means company has received your payment and  confirms your order. You can cancel anytime before you get that A2. They will send another one confirming the order arrived at their warehouse and then you can confirm shipping.

I have an original DX Chogokin GE-47 Armored VF-25S Ozma type, along with the non-Renewal Super Pack for the VF-25S.  I upgraded to the renewal version of both some time ago, and I’m trying to sell off the original, but I’m trying to figure out which of the two includes the alternate color set of Super Pack hip armor; I can’t find it listed on either set’s parts page.  Thanks in advance if anybody can help me figure it out.  (I’m assuming it goes with the Super Pack but I want to be sure!)

@jenius review states the original had the reversed paint hip parts.

Ended up ditching all of my modifications except the one where the little pegs at the back are now 2.0mm instead of 1.75mm. It's snug, and takes a few seconds to get everything into place, but it fits:

 

Interesting. I had it originally at 2.0mm but it wouldn't fit so I made it 1.75mm. Did you print it horizontally or vertically? Horizontally the peg was too loose but vertically like you suggested worked for me. I might have to get some clear filament. It looks nicer with the clear.

I thought about it a bit more on my drive home from work and will try two arrangements. The one I mentioned this morning as well as another one where the adapter is basically upside down. You won't ever see the supported surfaces and it might look nicer in the end. Should be a fun test.

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried printing it flat using PETG as support interface and regular PLA.. I didn't like how the flat layers looked so I flipped it the other way like you showed added tree support slim instead. I like how it looks this way. 

I redid the adapter so it can fit a gun pod. I realized I didn't notch the front so the gun pod can fit. I'll put the new file on the top and delete the other one.

Thanks for the suggestion. I should get a .2  nozzle and try that. I'll also try using PETG as a support interface. 

You guys can have a go if you want to. 3mf file is above Disclaimer: I've optimized it so it works for my X1C printer so it might not come out the same via other FDM or Resin printers so YMMV. I used Elegoo PLA+ filament with flow calibrated. Oriented vertically with front on top at 0.16mm layer optimal profile with tree supports slim and no brim:

Been awhile but the DX VT-1 posts made me want to whip out the HMR VT-1. I was irritated that the regular fighter adapter included makes the legs spread out a little because it wasn't intended with the leg parts. I decided to try make a slimmer adapter so the legs don't get pushed out. It's friction fit in the arm holes like the clear version:

Edit: Updated file that can fit gunpod

HMR fighter gunpod adapter 3mm peg v1.3mf

Newer adapter with notch on top vs old:

Clear adapter too wide causing the leg to push out.

Shortened the front skirt, made the sides more narrow to sit flush with the arms, and added a 3mm hole with no hex.

Legs sit a bit better. 

ChaoticYeti style test lol.  Didn't put it flush but It's a tight enough fit on this generic stand. 

Gonna also use it for the regular valks. I'll have to check if the gun pod fits first.

Edit: It didn't fit. New one fits.

Nice! 1/20 scale or 1/32 to go with the AJACS?

About this illusive mysterious Tomahawk... 

Right there next to the Phalanx, N-Ger, Q-Rau, and Scout.

This is Type 01, still amending a few crucial parts. 

*snip*

I remember following that thread and hope to see a Type 01 in the future. Awesome work on both projects.

Which type of figure do you have? Certain figures have online instructions.

This is a very late realization but the outfits are based on this M-tama illustration and I'm honestly no longer regretting that I never got around to converting the original VFG release to Walkure like I planned years ago. This is much better.

Only thing that would irritate me is that Makina and Reina's valks are Kairos and not Siegfrieds.

Haha!  I've tried to sell items on MW in the past but both times my listing was removed for violating a MW policy.  Not certain which policy(ies) exactly because I never bothered to look into it further.  I'm a bit lazy like that.  However, with recent/pending changes to eBay's rules, I imagine I'll finally get around to reading the relevant MW policies and try selling on MW moving forward.

Only think I can think of is if you posted Ebay listings in the For Sale & Trade section. That section is for direct sale/trade in MW. Items listed on outside sites  should go in the Where to buy Macross, Auctions & Dealers Specials.

I haven't seen this advertised here or anywhere outside of Toyark.  I'm not a huge fan of Yamato, but these look amazing!

Pretty sure you meant Toynami and not Yamato for the Macross stuff.

Did you try their site? https://fext-hobby.myshopify.com/collections/owl-one

Do we know any release information about it?

I think it'll be like the 10th anniversary VF-31J Kai and be event exclusive followed with a normal release later. Maybe a 15th anniversary outer sleeve for the event exclusive?

Awesome builds! 

Just include both heads, both gun pods, plus the speakers and be done with it.

Watch how the value of the original releases now plummet towards hell...

Chest stripes are different so it'll still be of value.

They finally showing this one. Remembered it years ago and thought it was vaporware:
