    Thank you. No matter how refined we get, we always learn something new.

    I first put them on a used decal sheet to pick up the glue from that. Then, I used Micro-Sol to make them conform (repeated applications, then a hair dryer on low for a few minutes). You can use Elmer's Glue if needbe (watered down a bit). And yeah: it's just the glue turning yellow from UV. Once removed (and new glue applied), they seem to work fine. On really old one, you might want to use Micro-Clear liquid decal film to reduce the risk of shattering.

    No problem MT!! I thought the same thing, then I decided to test one of the "decals" that was just the copyright info for the set (Ertl seemed to be big on that back in the day). It turns out it's the glue for it! On that note: in a pinch, if there isn't much glue left on a used decal sheet, just use a little watered-down Elmer's Glue. And keep in mind: PLENTY OF HOT WATER when trying to get the decals to release and to move around. Also: mind where you have your Micro-Sol bottle. I just lost half a bottle when I accidentally knocked mien over, and that's all I had left in the bottle. I'll have to replace it in 3 months; everything is so expensive now, even white bread is a commodity. O.o

    I just saw it.... it was pretty good. Gave me a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe even though it tries to deal with a serious issue.

    Your best guess at a fanmode is righteous. Well done! I'm not familiar with the animation or the earlier mainline release of these figures so I can't really suggest any alternatives. I feel bad for those folks whose bot(s) arrived broken or broke during transformation. But I'm exceedingly thankful for the folks who got theirs before me and put out an alert on the potential QC issues. I **rarely** transform my bots - hardly ever handle them out of packaging because I don't have any room to display them - but at least now I know what to keep an eye on next time I pull them out of storage.

    Even if it says returned item from Amazon (such as the DX 21 and other related Macross related items), you never know if it’s replaced with a totally different item, missing parts or totally destroyed. No one is going to do a complete check as it a high paced environment and everyone it in a very tight time crunch. Your well off getting it from a place that does a very deep and proper inspection.

    The bonus booklet is nice, but most of what was in it was originally published within the Macross Perfect Memory book from back when the show first aired....oddly enough, the booklet contains what I was hoping to find more of in the actual book.....

    Finally received my copy....it's great to have most of Mikimoto's illustrations collected in one massive book, especially the newer Macross the First era stuff, but the majority of artwork can easily be found in the very early illustration books from the SDFM/DYRL era and M7 era....I was hoping the book would include rough sketches, early renditions of the Macross characters, and the colored pencil drawings of many of his works....I guess I will need to wait for the Ultimate Mikimoto Collection book to be released someday....

    Welp. Sucks that I pre-ordered my SDF through Nin-Nin I guess but I've purchased from the in the past and have no complaints.

    An ALIENS themed ride could be awesome af but agree it wouldn't be child friendly. Oh well.

    @pengbuzz THANK YOU for the tip on the glue. I always thought it was the film that yellowed!? GREAT looking weathering and paint. I don't imagine they're the type of people to take their bird to the car wash!😁 - MT

    I mean it's no secret and all that stuff, but I think it's a smart move to keep at it so we can build up to a proper AVP film after those first two dismal movies. Even with the rumors of Alien Earth hading teased a predator in their trailer.

    From what I had heard from a contact at Disney, Disney after acquiring FOX did have ideas of a ride or some attraction that was going to be ALIEN themed. But after a long drawn out census and ideas they deemed it was something that would been to terrifying and difficult to pull off. I'm not sure how involved they were wanting to get....there was that non licensed ALIEN WAR attraction in the UK so long ago....could just pull off something like that and would probably been amazing.

    Going to experiment with some complimentary underpainting on this little Valkyrie. So I’m thinking blue under the orange and a purple under the tan. Might look like 💩in the end but why not.

    I came here for this. Thank you!

    With a clown paint scheme

    I kinda get that feeling as well, especially since there’s so much talk about what went on just before we get to what’s going on here as though we missed something somewhere

    Each arc is almost like a 3-hour movie. Kinda thankful they didn’t try to stretch these out into a season a piece. Yeah, there’s the initial “What did I miss?” feeling at the start of each arc. But it’s not hard to figure out what’s happened in the interim.
