seti88 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Lockheed and magik have been known to hang out together so just wondering if they did have a Lockheed fig bundled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shizuka the Cat Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 A couple of VF100's VF-25 toys I ordered from Jungle finally arrived. Part of me feels like that they, though longer than Hi-MetalR VF-1 toys, might be at a smaller scale factor than the latter. Are both supposed to be 1/100 scale?

jenius Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hi-Metal R is a 'non scale' line, it generally equates to between 1/85 and 1/100 scale. The VF-1 are definitely bigger than true 1/100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Agreed. They’re probably best in Fighter mode and can still be blended in with HMR. This is how I have the VF-25G on the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Those are the fighter mode-only releases, which were painted metallic. So it's just the lighting making Ozma look dark. Did they include the Sheryl and Ranka stands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like fighter mode the best when it comes to valkyries, so I did not mind ordering these got my display. Yes, these VF100 toys came with the little Sheryl and Ranka stands. I am not using them though, since I felt that the display connector piece that came with the VF100 toys might not hold the valkyrie securely and risk the fighter falling off. I have 2 more VF100 toys on the way... Alto's armored VF-25 and the Family Mart release. At some point, I may also get the transformable Michael, Alto and Ozma VF-25 toys as well.

One of the famous airfighters in Canadian Aviation history and had to mothballed be due to it being very expensive to make at that time and everything that was made for the program had to be destroyed as per Ottawa's request. Here's the Wiki page for it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Canada_CF-105_Arrow As you read further down the page, CBC Canada has made a TV Movie series and Dan Ackroyd (Blues Brothers) plays one of the reporter at that time (I have seen it couple years ago). Good thing that you got a copy of the plane @spanner as it hard to find one now. Edit: You can display it with the other Delta Winged aircraft as well (SV-262 Hs, YF-30 and the 31a).

Chronocidal Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 So, it would just about figure that the day after I ordered the Wal-Mart exclusive Legacy Tie Fighter off Ebay (at a minor markup), I walk into my local shop and see a single one sitting on the shelf. I'd checked that shop multiple times in the past weeks, and the Star Wars toy section was almost non-existent. As far out in the middle of nowhere as I am, I figured it would never show up. If it's still there at the end of the month, I'm picking up a second one, and looking for a Vader version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Just seeing the Canada Post delivery van before I started work this late afternoon before my shift starts, I asked if the my packaged arrived and it did arrive (plus got to work on time). Got nabbed for $75.32 CND in customs. At least I have it before the Full Postal Strike happens across Canada and no busted head laser present even though the packing wasn't too great.

Chronocidal Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Looks like the back left one is indeed the old Chunky. Also, while that Tie wasn't due for another few days, it showed up on my doorstep today as I arrived with my 31A. I always forget how relatively huge the normal Tie Fighters are compared with the Interceptor.. So glad Bandai finally gave us some weapons to load up their 31s with.. I don't think I'm ever taking the 31A out of fighter mode with this loadout. Edited October 23, 2018 by Chronocidal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Ehhh, not quite to scale, but close enough to look really good in a display together. Tie scales go all over the place though, and no two sources will ever agree on just how big they're supposed to be. The cockpit interior in the films was a lot roomier than these toys, but a bit smaller than the Bandai kits. Going by the Bandai kit, which is 5 inches tall, that should make the panels 20 inches high in 1/18, and this is a couple inches under that, so they're pretty close. My gut instinct is to call it around 1/24, since that's what a lot of the ANH film models were pinned down as, due to the pilot figures used. Now to find myself a Tie Bomber, and Advanced, and I'll have (at least) one of each of the OT fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s right, GBP is Takatoku and the -1J carrying it is the Bandai 2002 reissue. I was worried that the arm armour may not fit because of the shape difference in the Bandai arms, but they were fine.
