Agreed I suspect the brown box is the armor-solo...at least the box width dimensions match up My armor parts says they will ship to me on the 17th(reseller), so I could believe they are being sent out now. I hope @jenius didn't do Sea-Mail this time...want to see the review soon 😛

I love how you can just remove it from the box and slap on the armor-pre-transformed in battroid mode! You can then say 'never transformed' 5 years from now when the 1/32 version comes out and you sell it!

nah...not pretty cool, freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One day I want to see one of these builds in person, because my eyes just can't process what I'm seeing

I can't wait to see the entries! Hopefully some will bleed through here (for the non-facebookers like me)

Just a nod towards our infamous VF-1D scene Even the Yui/Minmei arms are right!

OMG that is insane...I love the easter egg of the VF-1D/S in the city! Thank you for posting the info! And it flies!

I've got the Blue legged variant...with GUNPOD...priceless!

Does this count? Super Valkyrie Easter Egg in Megazone 23 Part I?

Are there any other posts about it or external links? (the sdf build above) I missed them!

Ran across this Arii 1/100 Prototype release pic in one of the old magazines(appears to be the same battroid as shown on the playing card above). This time they got the VF-1D name correct, but that head is the VF-1C They were still tweaking on the nose in fighter/gerwalk, but wow-those are the biggest hands I've ever seen!

Just incredible!!!! Love these pics

test update worked with attachment

THANK YOU or those air show pics, incredible job!!!!! Blown away at your effort! But I want a COLA!!!

Seeing a picture like this just shows how far Toy design has come in recent years. Everything used to be so clunky and bulky...if you wanted accuracy you went to plastic or highly detailed garage kits. Now everything just looks so damn good-and it comes that way out of the box. Can't wait for my VF-1D to ship-looking forward to adding it to the mini display. I do think it is going to be Gerwalk mode...this pose just looks perfect to me.

What valk is chasing the fan racer? An Angel Bird?

Advanced Valkyrie! VB-R-2. https://macrossworld.com/macross/translations/_translations_advancedvalkyrie.htm Very nice, thank you for posting that!! I want to see this line more than anything...I love the Vf-3000..someday!

Oh that makes me VERY happy!! When Twentieth Century Imports was doing their imports in the early 80s you could find Macross kits at all the various hobby stores and general stores like Sprouse Reitz...where I would spend all my lunch money on 1/144 Macross kits The Good Old Days are coming back again!

Can't wait to see the new box art...I dug the originals! (below)

Had a security patch, and when we applied, it broke things on the update. Post any problems here please and I'll fix soon Thanks! Shawn

Damn, you guys are really getting me down with all the 'robocrap' talk and what not. If you don't want to buy it fine, but try to stop all the echo-chamber negativity. Damn. Not sure what you are all seeing, but I definitely see an improvement in picture quality and not just cranking up the brightness and sharpening. While I'll hold out for a possible Japanese language set with english subs, I'm also able to recognize that this picture looks really good. Definitely interested in the source material they were able to get for this.

Stupid thought, but thought I would share my madness here a bit So this auction was around for quite a while...just a simple Hasegawa VE-1...they listed it with the box art upside down. From this angle I thought 'that sure looks like a Zeta Gundam Wave Rider and then went ...huh' Then this showed up, mis-transformed, and I went 'huh' again. Like I said...stupid thoughts!

In the 80's movie Spies Like Us, jump to 3:14 or you can see it on HBO Max. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya0dXDKalVc See those 4 white greebles? Them be VF-1 Legs from a Macross model kit! (Movie was released 1985) And in the front, are some VF-1 Shoulders Both I am thinking from the 1/144 Imai kit, will need to check!

Wild guess...maybe these items came out BEFORE the actual episodes were animated, and they were created from the storyboards?
