Enough details to act like a scale model, functioning stage separations, comes with Lunar Module and Command Module splashdown diorama, 1 meter tall, 1969 pieces at $120 retail price. The rocket may look simple on the outside, but man the build and engineering on the inside is absolutely MIND-BLOWING. Saw this and decided I wanted to get it. Then I saw the part count and now I really need it because that kind of sense of humor deserves reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a super hot item right now so if try to secure one before stock runs out. Another thing I forgot to mention is how sturdy it is. You can swoosh it around with one hand wihout any worry of it falling apart Edited June 20, 2017 by ArchieNov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) If you want the full package with the ghost booster, the original Yamato is the only way to go. The later releases were pretty darn solid too, and while I did pick up one of the Arcadias as well, I'm not letting go of the originals. 18 hours ago, Jaustin89 said: Saw this and decided I wanted to get it. Then I saw the part count and now I really need it because that kind of sense of humor deserves reward. So the Saturn V is probably the highest demand I've ever seen for a Lego set (Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!! was pretty easy to get by comparison). Normally, their online shop will let you place orders for things that are out of stock, and they'll ship once they become available, but this one hit a hard "unavailable" in a matter of days. I missed the initial window, and had to camp the shop site for a few days before they went back on sale, and even then the order window only lasted about 6 hours. People have found them in the wild at certain retailers and Lego locations, but if you don't have something like that nearby, I recommend putting those Macross pre-order F5 mashing skills to use, and keeping the product page up. The trick with the parts count is pretty awesome. Kind of reminds me of the pictures of the fake Deadpool Lego sets that got circulated around the time the movie came out. I'm still disappointed these weren't real. Edited June 20, 2017 by Chronocidal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting thing is, when I took that picture, it was very difficult to get the hands positioned on the turntable in a convincing manner. I always considered Macross toys to be the the epitome of transformable toys and Transformers as 2nd tier but when I got that turntable for this guy, the poses all came easily: Gives me even more respect and appreciation for MP-13, which has always been my favorite MP. The articulated hands definitely helped finish the look but they would be useless if the figure didn't have the arm and shoulder articulation to allow those poses to begin with. So, a 5 year old Transformer has better articulation (in this area) than a brand new, top of the line Bandai DX Macross figure and a lot of the newer MPs are even better? Never thought of that before but it's interesting and makes be a bit more proud of collecting Transformers again. I've lately been burnt out on Transformers and all about Macross but I might pick up and mess with some figures off my TF shelf now.

Based on my HLJ Dented Item Box experience, they're not concern with the package box as long that the item inside is safe. Unless the item inside is broken due to shipping damage or defect, then that's the only time they will compensate you. But to expect a 'pristine' box for your collecting needs and pleasure, don't expect that from HLJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to squeeze the Ghost Booster's front canards to fit it in the Arcadia's VF-0 back swap parts. The tanks and missiles though are loose if you try to mount it on the Arcadia VF-0's. For more info on this, visit the Arcadia VF-0 thread. Hope that helps. Edited June 21, 2017 by no3Ljm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
