I don't ever remember seeing the packaging for that one, actually looks like they spent some time on it.
Space Castle...super endless transformations, neat
What is Space Castle #1? Then the obvious, is there #3 and more?
If I recall, that model can be seen in the other model thread showing off cool builds...its the one where the SDF-1 actually rises up in flight
yeah this one right?
Maybe when you finish this one, you wrap it up and send it off to @jenius for one of his toy reviews! It would be great seeing this in HD video going through all the improvements over the base 1/55.
I sort of meant the entire backpack part, both fins attached and all, its just gotta be a screw or two right?
guess now I'd have the orange and the light tan being off...I'll just need to close one eye when I squint
Can I just re-rant on Bandai completely blowing it on the VT-1 tailfins...seriously this looks idiotic. I have a burner DX VF-1D...how hard is it to swap out the tailfin backpack on a DX?
Where are the DX disassemblers around here...is it hard?
The orange on the VF-1D is slightly off, but maybe it wouldn't be that noticeable if I squint.
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!

"The light spots on the hull are flashing, but not flashing brightly, just occasionally for a moment.
There are about six different patterns with different timing that make it seem like it slowly disappears."
Now THIS is my kind of post!
That is a healthy collection you've got going there, have a lot of classic hard to find kits!
The layer of undisturbed dust on the open ends is awesome and shows the time in the archives.
You should take a half day off and remove the front layers from some of those shelves to see what is hiding on the back layer too!
I love how you can always super stack the Nichimos into every nook and cranny at the tops, I've got a couple shelves looking just like this one
