    Speaking of MTF, is your 1/3000 Prometheus and Daedalus project still alive?

    Just saw those pictures and I have to agree with you. The concave slope on the underside of the ship's bow is such a visually distinctive feature of the TV version that leaving it out is pretty much akin to leaving the DYRL? style bridge on. I'm disappointed that this is such a lame cop out attempt from Hasegawa when usually they are better than that. Either go full TV or go Macross the First, but don't go half assed and give us a little mix of both. I believe I'll be cancelling mine.

    That looks awesome! A great accessory for the 0D.

    I've got one of those cutting mats too. Not that specific model, but still awesome just the same. The self healing really works.

    Yeah, the jolly roger insignia on the inside of the fins is accurate. Most of those look like stickers in those pics. You can see the outline of the clear parts of the stickers. Other than the UN Spacy, Danger Intake V's and the skull squadron insignias, I have very low expectations that anything else will be tampoed.

    Actually, you can get them off. I popped mine off so that I could start panel lining. Just took a little more force than you think you'd need. The pegs are very short, so there's little chance of breaking them. Also Shin ejected his as he approached the birdman in the last episode, so having them off is just as legitimate, although it does expose ugly holes in the chest.

    No, but it's easy to take the head off.

    Got mine in the mail today. Has a nice heft to it, but there are some things I don't like about it. The intakes really have nothing to hold them in place in fighter mode or GERWALK for that matter. It's pretty annoying. The wing lights also are also just painted black instead of clear pieces like the Yamato ones. Looks really cheap like something you'd find on a toy for little kids than a collector's item that costs close to $300. When the wings fold back for battroid mode, there's a lot of scraping involved and there's signs of scratching on the factory paint from it. I find it funny that on the sticker sheet, the VF-0A on the sheet has the back of the legs as grey and not blue. Not sure if it's my imagination, but it looks like one of the engine thrusters in the feet is off angle compared to the other by a degree or two like it was put in the wrong way or something. At least it feels a lot more solid than the Yamato releases.

    Got mine today. The left wing is has no resistance at all and just flops about. The stickers just don't match the tampo so I think I'm just going to leave them off.

    Cut up the numbers and you can have a mix of 0,1,2, and 3 in any order you want They look like stickers to me. First version also came with stickers. No super parts or it would have been more expensive. Would have cost at least as much as the Brera release.

    I find HLJ's EMS prices to be cheaper than most others tend to charge. They only charged me ¥2980 when most places tend to charge ¥4000+ yen for EMS for valk shipping.
  12. MacrossJunkie
    Man, how the heck? I assume that NY shipped these around the same time. Mine's still stuck in Osaka since the 27th with "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment".

    I kind of wish they designed a new ghost to go with these new VF-0's. The old one is a bit inaccurate as it's missing the upper intakes. Also it's pretty much held in place by gravity. Put it upside-down and it will fall right off. Also the wing hardpoint mounted drop tanks and missile pods don't fit in all the way if the VF-0D is anything to go by. It's a little loose on my 0D and the center peg is blocked from going all the way in because the shape of the hardpoint indentation is a little different and reversed. Yeah, even ignoring the fact that it's so way off base from what it should be, it just looks bad and out of place compared to the rest of the color scheme.
  14. MacrossJunkie
    Pretty sure it does. Then again, I can't make sense of the translation from the tweet the pics came from. "ザ・カラバリだけど透明キャノピーにすると印象が変わりますな" put through the translator says "Is it will change the impression when the transparent canopy It 's The Bali".
  15. MacrossJunkie
    I like the shade of green they picked for the new one a lot more too. So it looks like the modex numbers are stickers like in the first release? They don't look tampo printed to me, which would make sense given that you're given a choice between heads.
  16. MacrossJunkie
    It's a factor of intensity of the lighting, color of the light, camera settings for white balance, etc.
  17. MacrossJunkie
    The 0D's ankles can tilt just as much. There is a side to side motion in the joint in addition to the pivot point. You just need to move it to the outermost side as you pivot the foot inwards so you can get the clearance needed. I believe the ankles are the same.
  18. MacrossJunkie
    Definitely a dark gray. It doesn't look blue there at all. Still doesn't change the fact that it should be black and the white part of the fin should be gray. That's how it looks in the anime and even the Hasegawa kits show it that way too in the instructions.

    I just saw it as ripping out the implant also made him lose his mind link to the VF so he had to eject the armored canopy to see.
  20. MacrossJunkie
    It came from the 2nd movie. Brera ejects the armored portion of the canopy and the clear part remained.

    Cannon fodder flavor - Explosion of flavor for your taste buds!

    I got notice that my avocado ice crea- I mean VF-27 shipped too. Man, that ice cream looks good...
  23. MacrossJunkie
    On the other hand, there's a lot more you can buy with $8 than with 0
  24. MacrossJunkie
    Looking forward to getting mine. I'll be using the beta style head on mine. I think it looks better not having those horns sticking out from the head in fighter mode.
  25. MacrossJunkie
    This is great! I didn't get the DYRL version because I already had my 1/3000 from Yamato, but this is something I'm interested in getting.
