Awesome! I would love to purchase a few if they ever become massed produced!

Hnnng! I love Valkyries in low viz colors! Kudos!

My wife is under strict orders to never mention any part of my collection to anyone. I primarily collect videogames and I do have a small cache of Macross toys. They all reside in my office, which I keep locked up.

Are there any good cutaway diagrams of either gunpod?

Hiya D_Unit. Yeah, a few months ago I ordered the three Ichibankuji statues of Sheryl, Ranka, and Klan. As chronicled earlier in this very thread, I had some problems with OverDrive resulting in them closing down my account. Long story short, I did eventually get my statues along with 3 Mac F microfiber towels. It was quite a frustrating experience with them that time around.

I'm really digging this! Personally, I like the "chunkiness"! I don't particularly care for the skinnier looking designs.

The new 1/60's look great right out of the box. I think too many decals make them look busy. If I had my druthers, I'd probably just weather/panel line mine - which I have yet to do.

My VF-1D has been sitting on my desk for about a week in fighter mode, looking pretty. Last night I decided to take the plunge and transform it and..... All is well! I popped off the nose and head and carefully loosened the legs up near the intake. I pulled the legs down into the gerwalk configuration and gently rocked the intakes side to side and when there was a bit of room (I could slide a thin guitar pick in there) I popped the legs off successfully. Looking at the pegs, I noticed no deformities or stress marks. Same with the shoulder joints. I'm not exactly sure what these "knurled" pins are supposed to look like but mine were smooth. The shoulders moved freely with no unusual resistance. They were also stress mark free. I did notice the hip joints seemed a little...looser than normal. Well, looser than the joints on my Hikaru VF-1S. Nothing too bad, it can still hold a pose well with no sagging or what have you. It's definitely not in the realm of 1/60 ver. 1 looseness! I guess I lucked out with this one!

So far so good, no problems with my first few transformations. Guess I lucked out!

Yeah, I also bit on the VF-1D from the HLJ sale. Now, what's this exploding legs syndrome? I have yet to transform mine (displayed in fighter mode atm) That is true. I'm the "victim" in this case. They dropped the ball entirely in this deal.

Thanks! I'm glad everything worked out in the end as well. Although, I think I'm probably still banned from the site or what have you. Those are actually some kind of towels, like microfiber sports towels or something. Quite cool, actually!

Beautiful work! Kudos!

UPDATE: So I check my work email this morning and saw that I FINALLY got a response from Overdrive. Turns out, yup, my emails were going straight into a spam folder. They checked their records and oops, they did indeed send me the wrong EMS tracking number. So I check the correct number they gave me and....the package containing the statues (yeah, they had all three!) was sent out on the 17th, and arrived back on the 19th! Apparently, they postman tried delivering it on 19th but I wasn't here (my shipping address is my work address) and didn't bother to leave a delivery notice. I didn't find out about it until today! Sooooo, today I picked up my package at the post office and this is what I found inside: And my bonus items? So yeah, I'm happy I finally got everything, but the email and tracking number snafu has really left a bad taste in my mouth.

Oh, definitely getting my money back. I had my credit union do a chargeback.
