    Or I suppose it could end up in the new upcoming Macross series.
  2. MacrossJunkie
    Not soon enough. Your pics made the wait that much harder It will be some time before I have pics to show since I plan on painting the missing colors and redoing the purple on the canopy and fold crystals with a clear purple Gaia Color paint, which the delivery estimate given was a huge range of Oct 6th - Oct 23rd... So worst case scenario, I could be waiting almost another three weeks for it or it could come tomorrow.

    Yeah, but 3 of those repaints were tied to major characters and one was a special case 30th anniversary repaint. The only thing I really see going for the chances of repaints is making more use of the mold. Thus far, I haven't seen Bandai release anything Macross related if it wasn't either tied to a character or featured in the show or elsewhere. I just don't have any idea if the repaints like the black/purple or red/black versions fit any of the above. But like you say, one never knows. It's the first time, I think, that they released a whole new design (YF-30) plus variants of a pre-existing design (new heads for YF-29) that was only in a game.

    What do you guys think the odds are that they would release repaints of this in other colors? I haven't played Macross 30 so I don't know if those other colored versions are attached to any characters or not. If not, I think chances of repaints are very slim.

    Probably a week from now. I picked EMS shipping but only got the shipping notice on Friday.
  6. MacrossJunkie
    I'm hoping that's just because it's still a prototype.
  7. MacrossJunkie
    It probably would, yeah. The holes are also pretty big so it might even look a little strange seeing right through to the detail underneath, which on the existing VF-0 toys, is not very impressive.
  8. MacrossJunkie
    That looks great and makes me even more impatient for my super parts to arrive!

    Are we talking about this? To be honest, I wouldn't trust putting the VB-6 on this thing on any roll axis beyond maybe 20 degrees. Pitch axis is okay for a greater degree. It's a very loose fit on the VB-6 and it rocks around while attached to it. I only got the normal one so I don't know if the SP version came with a better adapter. I know it came with a better base, but I don't recall if it used the same adapter piece. I could lend you mine if you want to use it to make an adapter for the stand. Just send me a PM.

    Cool, thank you. It looks pretty similar. I ordered some more paints and I'm going to try to match the light gray as best as I can to paint the wings with. Perhaps I should paint the gun too. I just don't know with what. I put Ozma's 25S gun on the 29 and it just looked like it was too much dark gray and that there needed to be some contrast. Maybe I should just try spraying a black filter on the gun to give it an overall darker tone.
  11. MacrossJunkie
    Beautiful shots as usual, Saburo. I have to agree that gun needs a darker color. Perhaps same color as the one that came with the 25S?
  12. MacrossJunkie
    Yeah, it looks like they have the same amount of detail but with the model's panel lines and such being much finer. On a side note, man, the close ups really show just how much the quality of Bandai's decals suck. They ought to be embarassed. People could print homemade decals better than that.
  13. MacrossJunkie
    That's a pretty sizable collection you've amassed in only two years, Pedro. I think my bank account would be weeping if I tried getting all that in that amount of time
  14. MacrossJunkie
    Well, I have to say that's certainly a vast improvement over the previous iteration. Thank you, Shukenzero, for taking the time to take those pics.

    I personally have 0% in GERWALK mode, not because I hate it but because it is the least space efficient mode out of the 3 and my display space is limited.
  16. MacrossJunkie
    I think the VF-0D is a prime candidate for GERWALK mode. It might just be my impression, but I feel like it spent most of its screen time in M0 in GERWALK mode.
  17. MacrossJunkie
    I probably misunderstood the first paragraph of your post I was referencing, but I wasn't really speaking of whether it was made to look like a woman, but merely pointing out that there was a difference in shape/curvature in the "chest" area between the normal VF-11s and the MAXL Kai and that it wasn't merely just interpretation in the eye of the beholder that the curvature was there.
  18. MacrossJunkie
    I take it the VF-19 Kai is not doing so well in sales? That would not be surprising to me given that there were still plenty of the first release sitting around for a while at large discounts. Even the sound booster was easily available for a while at a discounted price. Most people who wanted them probably would have gotten one already. The high price of this re-release, granted it's a bundle of the 19 kai and the booster and includes the Fire Bomber figures, for such a polarizing design makes it a hard sell in general. I wouldn't mind having the VF-11C MAXL variant. That is to say the normal delta winged version of the VF-11 and not the Sound Force MAXL Kai variant.
  19. MacrossJunkie
    There are indeed bumps on the VF-11 MAXL Kai intended to resemble human female mammaries that aren't on any of the VF-11 variants including the normal VF-11 MAXL. If that isn't clear from the 2D line art, you can look up the various kits of the MAXL Kai and it should be pretty apparent then. Yes, it's been done in other anime, but those tended to be on super robot franchises like Mazinger. Most people correlate Macross to the real robot genre where the Sound Force valks are more super robot-ish, which accounts for the general disdain for the Sound Force customs.

    He means the super deformed 3rd party "Makuros", I believe.
  21. MacrossJunkie
    A That's a great idea. Perfect for the smaller display spaces like within a Detolf where fitting multiple bases can end up being difficult.

    There's an "I've forgotten my password" link on the login page just below the text boxes.

    QFT. I have a gajillion stand parts and I don't even know what half of them go to or are for now.
  24. MacrossJunkie
    I would have too but the stands I had available to use along with the adapters I was able to locate determined my placement of them somewhat. I had to make the best of it with what I had. Perhaps I need to get some of Chaos Yeti's stands next time more are available.
  25. MacrossJunkie
    That is some fantastic weathering work on the Yamato, Dobber! The whole thing looks so detailed too.
