    Sorry the board doesn't do HEIC images by default. It is super annoying. I'll look around again for a plugin that might be available.

    Wow-incredible box art! We just needed some Artmic art and an Imai sticker and it would have sold like hotcakes. Wow.

    Some super cool insights to the member names here Mine is super simple-back in 1999 it was Shawn's & Graham's MacrossWorld...so gotta be Shawn! My avatar is the DYRL re-do that Garoquel did for the site way back when. Super talented artist!

    You are the king of VT-1 Ostrich cases...wow wow wow!!! An original Bandai 1/55 shipping case from 1985, unbelievable! Please make sure you put a note inside that case for your kids, so that way down the road when they sell off your toys from your estate, they don't ditch that as a generic cardboard box LOL Stock number on the case matches the box, just so cool!

    A case of Ostri? That is 6 right? Are you going to open them all up for inspection? Would love to see a pic of them. In 10 years we can look back at this thread it and go 'wow!' when they are all reselling for $800 each.

    thanks for the info for what I can look forward to 😛

    Any chance you could share some pics on disassembly-like for the tailfins? I'd like to see if I can glue/weld my VT-1 tailfin to the little nub inside, but need to open it up

    BTW...make sure to mind your yf-21 little bits! I had mine in battroid mode on the shelf moved my couch to vacuum and saw a shiny blue piece on the ground...it was the little edge piece, had no idea.

    Every few weeks I google Fujimi and Macross and nothing new is returned. I'm sure we'll see something someday. Hopefully not a lobster but a 1/700 ish scale Prometheus or something. It would be super great.

    That really does look amazing. And with the larger VF-19 size it isn't super small like the the VF-1s at 1/72 Very impressed!

    I paused the video towards the end and was thinking...ok there are still about 15m left they could wrap things up...but uhm, lets get going.
  14. Shawn
    Thanks that explains it

    Where does it say its a 4k? I can't seem to find that info. I wonder if this is the same one they did last year that I went to? It def wasn't 4k Dir. Shoji Kawamori & Shinichiro Watanabe, 1995, 115 min., DCP, color, in Japanese with English subtitles. With Takumi Yamazaki, Unshou Ishizuka, Rica Fukami. If it is 4k, why isn't that going on the upcoming blu-ray?

    5.3% of the gross yen price + $13 disbursement fee + $10.20 additional line items fee

    Annnnnnd the final cherry on top, since I got my VT-1 via fedex (using Buyee Air, which they chose the cheapest), I just now got a customs bill to pay on my broken tail fin toy of awesomeness. Just great.

    Does Bandai support only support from a retailer or from 'ebay'? Meaning if those embossed numbers on the back of the box are the same across the US based YF-21s, and the sticker is the same, could we make a claim to get a replacement antenna? Its a gray area I know, but lately I feel particularly bitten by Bandai with my DX purchases, so I think I might be willing to cross into the gray zone to restore at least one of them to true normal.

    That just looks freaking amazing. I loathe the non-white landing gear on the DX. This is how it should have been released. (also with larger freaking tailfins...even a replacement option like the angel bird, if they needed to resolve some anime magic)

    Seeing it mounted backwards, all I think of 'knives and stabbing weapons' Someone should create a version of this with a blowsperior type extension so the blade could slice through those dastardly decepticons.

    too funny and too appropriate right now https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k1147566610

    Hey-I thought I was the only one, yes mine also does not stay secure at all, it just pops out. Sounds like they ran the DX VF-1 molds into the ground and need to freshen them up lol Can't wait to see what new problems arise from the 50th anniversary version.
  23. Shawn
    Checked in to see if the release date was updated with something more specific than August, and see they made a slight adjustment in product desc https://tamashiiweb.com/item/14921/ No TV hands, so its a DYRL type release VF-1J? https://tamashiiweb.com/importance/213/
  24. Shawn
    I love how after all these releases, it is still BE WARE

    The tail fins on the vt-1 do not fold at all, meaning they have no 'give' at any angle. They are not removable either. I need to search and see if anyone has taken the DX VF-1 apart so I can see if I can crack open my backpack, so I can pivot the stub and try a glue. But I fear if I did come up with a repair, if I tried to clip the tailfin into the back clips, when I tried to unclip it would probably break again, its quite a secure snap. Right now the right side clip is holding the backup up in battroid. I clipped in the loose tailfin just to maintain some sort of symmetry, but its just loose. Bandai had how many release of the DX so far...and they just had to change something that could allow a break. Frustrated that I spent $268 plus shipping here. I think I'm changing my policy to only buy open box used products from now on. Its just not worth the hassle of spinning the "Bandai is it going to be broken' roulette wheel when you open a sealed item.
