    If you are asking about glues, I assume you aren't a moddeler with supplies. I recommend starting with white kiddie crafting glue. Given an extremely long time, they become fairly hard and secure. If it doesn't go well, at least it's still easy to clean and remove, and you will have not done anything destructive to othe plastic. Any other glue probably begins to enter the destructive or permanent modification territory, and you would have to start being careful. I'd say hot glue with a light touch and fast hands as to not melt anything would be the next safest. At least it's also removable, and melting is probably unlikely lol. And then we enter toxic fumes territory, starting with basic hobby cement with the clear resin, such as the Tamiya yellow capped bottles. It minimally damages the ABS plastic as those are solvents that target PS in model kits instead. But once you apply it, the goopy resin could get stringy and messy, and can't really be cleanly wiped off without using the corresponding pure solvent cement. It will take from hours to a day to cure while you pray it doesn't run into the joints. I have used pure solvent to break the cured resin before, even on dissolvable PS parts, but lets just say, you don't want to go there. Next would be acetone based ABS hobby cements. Works the same as above, but stronger, because now, with the correct solvent, your pieces will dissolve to fuse together. But that means your contact points with the cement become gooey, so you have to be extremely careful with alignment before it cures, or improper force will cause the pieces to smear, smudge, and sink inside each other, while sliding and squirming out of alignment. The final boss is probably the dollar store super glue. Dissolves and corrodes everything it touches, so the plastic may also become brittle. Same for your skin, and maybe even metal parts, and rapidly fuses them all together in 2 seconds. So you can permanently be part of your toy if you wish. Most people would go this route out of dollar store convenience and a quick job I guess. I do wonder if caulking might be a reasonable choice lol.

    Yeah, but the look is already far better than those projects and I don’t think the timeline will get as much of that trash mixed in at all. Plus, even bad Nick Cage is kinda entertaining

    I mean, Nick Cage and Spider-Man Noir are cool, but I'm keeping my expectations low. They may be pumping up Amazon's involvement, but this is still a Sony thing, just like Venom, Morbius, Kraven, Madame Web, and the unreleased-but-apparently-still-coming Silk: Spider Society.

    I mean, did you see how the HMR sold here?..

    Here's an interesting collection of Telenet shooters, including Browning and Final Zone II, that were only released on the PC Engine:

    Classic Stars remains delightfully unintelligible for another week. I have watched... six!... six episodes of this hot mess and I still have absolutely no f***ing clue what it's about. None. It's like that one episode of Deep Space Nine where everyone's got aphasia and can't form coherent sentences. Things sure are happening, but I don't know what any of it means.

    OK, the section in Macross Big Encyclopedia isn't very large... it's basically 2/3 of a page on pg94. The bit in Variable Fighter Designer's Note is a lot bigger, multiple full pages, starting on page 232 thru page 239. There's a concept art section for it in Shoji Kawamori Designer's Note starting from pg577 to 581 which has some good detail shots of the internals of the pack. The movie's Official Complete Book has some decent color reference too.

    Never had this issue with any of my DX VF-31 toys. I'm guessing that one was assembled on a Friday afternoon and the factory worker was running out of glue. 😱

    I’m looking forward to this one. Amazon usually doesn’t let me down, just wish they had more content

    Saw this and it gave me a little laugh in all seriousness, I do hope nobody gets hurt during these accidents and do feel bad when that does happen

    I always felt that way about the old Lundgren movie

    My group won't be able to get together to watch it 'til Wednesday, but we've decided to make a double-header out of it... Andor S2 #10-12 followed by dinner and then Rogue One. Gonna make an occasion out of the conclusion of what, by ratings, is likely the best Star Wars title ever made. 😁

    Anyone have this issue with plastic part of the side leg come off, probably due to the pressure of transforming. What glue do you recommend to fix?
  27. pengbuzz
    Yeah; sounds like a cheat to use conventional locales instead of far flung exotic ones... >_>

    Wow it's been a million years since I posted on these forums. I've been a member since pretty much the beginning, but mostly lurk. Any way. I bought 3 yf-21's. The first 2 were both mint ( one from BBTS and one from Amazon). So I rolled the dice on a 3rd one from Amazon which had the bent antenna. I contacted blue fin re replacement antenna in late November. I emailed them every week looking for status. Finally in January they wrote back and said they couldn't guarantee they could send a new part and told me to return the toy to Amazon. So I held it until the end of my return window and then sent it back. Got the new antenna via FedEx today. I guess I'll keep it in the bank. A pretty valuable piece of plastic. ✌🏼
