I want to ask if I want to panel line and paint fluorescent colour on my 1/3000 SDF1, do I need to spray clear coat or just straight paint?

I guess it makes sense right They are doing another release of the VF-1S GBP in April 2026 or something I thought They just keep the factory running and put out a bunch more VF-1S valks in prep for the August 2026 release Hopefully end of this year we'll see something non VF-1J and non VF-1S...unless they pause the DX line and go with the 1/55 they were showcasing When is the next anniversary, 2027 for the 45th? That is when we'll likely see a CF DX VF-1, it would make sense its in episode 1 Unless they pause even harder and just release the DX SDF-1 at that time Taking bets now! 😛 2026 is the year of Fockers!

A couple years ago I met a guy who was extremely into wine, and over the course of one of our conversations I asked him at what price point one starts to hit diminishing returns on quality. He told me the story of a $500 bottle he bought to celebrate finishing his dissertation, and how disappointed he was when he finally opened it up. A fine bottle that simply could not live up to expectations Here is my new (to me) PF VF-0S The VF-0S is probably my favorite from the franchise (I like how you can see the skull and crossbones in all three modes), but for the amount of money I paid for this thing it simply could never have met my expectations. Even having read or watched all the reviews on it I could find. Also, I just realized that the seller didn't include the little sheet that had its serial number on it, which is making me weirdly sad. And yet... I still want to hunt down the regular release as a complement

Your cruiser is looking real good, @pengbuzz

Another Roy? I get it, it's Roy, and some people missed out, but once again, every time I see this get bumped I get excited thinking Bandai is going to finish the squad and announce my damn Kaki TV 1A, then nope, disappointment all over again.
-
man, too late, i already sold of all my copies. but i had a few for sale on here. this has gotten a decent discount in the past that was targeted/regional on amazon on occasion. if no one on here sells you one, may want to keep tabs on it.
-
I said you were overthinking it, not that the thoughts are wrong. A major difference. You both put more thought into it then the writers.

Thanks for the fair summary. That matches what I was expecting. The flaws for YF-21s don't really make it seem worthwhile compared to other 1/60 toys. Therefore, I adjust my conclusion: does anyone wanna sell me theirs at or below $200 shipped? 😄😄😄
-
Sorry about that. I've been whacked twice now for uploading images a size too big to be allowed on the forum so I've been very reluctant to post pictures 😆

I’ve always had cats. Never actually went to a place to adopt, it’s always been some form of the cat distribution system.

Hey thanks. Love the weapon diorama and the Dom looks great! The cat meme. Lol We currently have a silly dingo running the show in our home. He’s a good boi. We used to have three cats but due to old age they are no longer with us. They had a great life. We talk about adopting and will probably make the leap in the summer. Well I have another kit on bench. I finally completed all sub assembles on my current build “Terror Mirage” and it’s ready for primer. I sort of like to stay busy and having builds cycling smoothly in tandem feels right. I scored this kit from @tekering Thanks again! I’ll do my very best to make it look awesome! It’s an early Volks KOG. Basically garage kit injection model I think the translation says. So I assume it’s the same design they used for the resin kit? Have to look into it. All the parts have been super tight and wonky. There are callouts in the manual that say you will need to putty this area and that area etc…since this will have a gap here and there. Cracks me up that instead of a good mold they are saying it’s all on you now. Lol Also comes with a bunch of generic polycap sprues that you need to trim down to certain shapes and sizes to fit. That’s a first for me. I kind of dig it Anyway I’m loving it and this build has very few parts and assembly goes quick. Clean up later.

That's looks like an Arcadia YF-19 not the Yamato. yeah this post was totally wrong
-
They spent 5 years knowing that was a B tier product before they finally convinced themselves to make it any way. Fingers crossed for VE-1 next... Sure fire winner followed by a TWE gamble.
-
I will be very wary of that from Bandai and their DX Macross line. Think the last time Bandai actually did something new and showed quite some "effort" for their DX Macross line was with their DX YF-21... 🤣
-
haha, might get an armor roy if the price is decent.
-
Is that a little Kingfisher plane I spot there? Remember building a bigger one way back when I was a kid. . . and then having bits of it fall off over the years. 😅
-
I was thinking that maybe since they a reissuing the GBP Roy in April the wanted to take the opportunity to make more Roy's VF-1S to recoup some of the money having to refurbish the moulds, this way both can be produced back too back.... Just hope afterward the do something new and show some effort again!
-
Minor iteration. "Fattened" the cheeks and reshaped the mandibles to angle inwards a bit, as well as maneuvered the notches around the eye to expose it a bit more. Also added the vent fins on the top for a better filled in look there. Maybe? Dunno, may also try an alternate color scheme as that helped clarify the shape on the earlier one when I was working on it. Anyway, onwards and sideways!

https://twitter.com/simsim5479/status/2015784922867523850 web-translated: Maybe Bandai should've just made more Armored-Roy available instead. But that will make way too much logical sense for Bandai 🤡, tho... 🥱

If I may chime in as an owner of both; After seeing jenius's glowing review, I picked up 2 of the Yamatos (one of each type) when Bandai first announced the release causing Yammie prices to plummet temporarily. I thought they were excellent toys, but yeah, they kinda do need some support in battroid/gerwalk. Personally, I love the incredible detail that Bandai puts into their valks, but with the dark blue color, I really don't feel it's necessary and like the simpler look of the Yamato. I'm a huge fan of the DX line in general, and usually MUCH prefer them to Arcadia/Yamato offerings, but this is the one sole exception for me (altho, I will pass on the DX 17 and am looking for a Yamato version). The only saving grace of the DX is the bigger legs. Otherwise, I hate how the backpack was designed, and the fighter mode just doesn't look right either. If I could swap the DX legs onto the Yamato, I would. But there's no models except battroid only, non-transforming ones that really get the anime magic right in battroid where the backpack isn't ginormous. Kinduv impossible otherwise. Btw, I would NOT recommend settling for the 1/72 Yamato version! It is complete garbage imho. And because everyone likes pics, here's my Yamato YF-21 posed with my DX YF-19:
-
Yeah, it's a "get both and be satisfied by neither" situation. Fingers crossed for a renewal or Arcadia some day.

I find it interesting that some fans of Masterpiece Transformers are having the same complaints about Takara management and the stagnation of the line. For fans of the original Sunbow toon series like myself, we have not had a new toon release for three years. Just repaints or figures from other series. And we are 20 releases into the MPG reboot of Masterpiece with some fans buying zero of those 20 because not one figure has appealed to them. We are told by factory leakers that new Sunbow toon figures are coming, but we are still waiting. I've also noticed that Japanese car companies are making some pretty large fumbles and upsetting long time fans of their cars as well. Sony just announced that they are using another company to make their TVs. Etc., etc. It seems like every Japanese company has forgotten what their customers want. But I suspect it is the disastrous economy in Japan that may be the actual cause of all of this. Back on topic, I already own SDFM Roy and I'm still waiting for a new SDFM release. Money saved I guess.

WOW, a lot of great responses. This is a really helpful summary; I didn't really know what to expect, but makes sense that there would be such great detailed impressions on mwf. Thanks everyone! As expected, no right or wrong answer here. Really depends on the individual. I'm guessing I'm like most collectors where both whooshing and fighter display take slightly higher priority. Too bad those two requirements seem to be at odds in this case. (Check that, I guess the only right answer is to get both, hahahahahaha)
