Thanks man. Yeah, I made the fatal mistake of working in Hong Kong for a few months last year. You only have to see ONE 1/48 scale yamato in a window to get the ball rollin' on spend stupid money. The big problem is that My partner is not only supportive of this addiction...she's an enabler.

WOW! That's a great site in your sig! Thanks!

Thanks a lot. I didn't actually pay that much. I got it for $60 U.S. I'm not really bummed because I was looking for something that looked great in fighter mode with fast packs. and this was WAY cheaper than a 1/48 with FP. And like I said, it actually is more solid as fighter than my cannon fodder.

I just started getting back into macross last year. I've got a yamato 1/48 cannon fodder, some revoltechs and some other stuff. Anyway, I just bought a MIB yamato 1/60 VF-1J with fast pack off of ebay. I'm wondering if there are different versions of this. Many of the photos I'm seeing around here are slightly different. The ones I've seen around here look more like my 1/48. Moveable knee caps, for one thing. And the legs come off mine, too. Is this an earlier version? Anyway, I gotta say, going from a 1/48 to a 1/60 was a bit of a shocker. The robot mode is pretty flimsy and is a bit difficult to transform. Mind you, I'm VERY impressed with how well the fighter mode stays together. Even with Fast packs! Take care! one other question....It seems to me like the thruster/feet should be able to slide into the legs a bit when in fighter mode. But they won't. Am I right on this?
