I know i know.  No more NY but I have 6 strike parts sitting there and am kind of afraid if I wait for ems to start back up they may “disappear”.  I can wait otherwise. 

Not in love with anakins face. Not that it’s bad it just doesn’t seem to fit any pose properly. I think they did do a good job of slightly aging him during the clone wars/ in between RoTS

Cool...this thing looks ready for takeoff!  Can't wait to get mine!  Hopefully they do a nice plain box like with their WF releases...

Thanks for posting! 

I hope they don’t make the tail and names stickers. Don’t know if that’s a way around licensing issues. 

I feel like I’ve been here since before 09. Did we ever have to resign back up for anything?  And when did it stop being called Shawn and Graham’s?

I might be in for those clone wars anakin and obi wan.

My collection so far

Nice obi wan collection. Debating on getting the mythos. I have the prequel one. 

Despite the controversy I put in an order. I believe it’s on flying mules site now. I ordered directly through calibre wings. 

Off topic but since people are talking about how long they have been here when was it called Shawn and Graham’s macross forum?

Trying to decide if I want to pay plan sideshows mythos maul. I mean if I have to do a payment plan I really shouldn’t but it looks really good.

If I wasn't a size queen I'd have all of my VF-1's in 1/60. Generally less money and they take up FAR less shelf space. The Arcadia 1/60's are great. But I am a size queen, so long live the DX!

I just thought of another point of debate. This will only apply to some. I display all of my stuff (a rule I mad for myself). If I had 1/60's I would fill the same amount of shelf space as I do with 1/48's. Which means I would probably end up spending more money in the long run on 1/60's. I'd be more of a completest. There is no lack of stuff that I want, but I don't do it because of space limitations (it's actually a good thing).

 

 

I ran out of any shelf space years and years ago. I’m dreading going into the detolfs and boxing up the eclectic mess I have jammed in them. My new acquisitions might sit in the living room or bedroom for a bit but all end up down in the basement. 

I’ve been here since 09 and a fan since mid 90’s and I hardly know any of the intricacies of macross lore.  I just ogle valks. 
 

I think my first valk was a 1/72 Yamato yf-19 eventually followed by a V1 Roy 1S. Good thing I didn’t continue down that road. 

Aaahhh totally missed that. Thanks

Oh, that's odd. Are you doing battroid with or without the T-connector connected to the back bar?

Is there a separate connector other than at the hips?  I’d have to look.

Do you mean how the legs just kind of peg in with no locks aside from pegging into the backpack in fighter mode?

I mean how they clip in in battroid. Mine kept popping back out. It’s fine once it’s all transformed. 

The 1/60’s are good solid toys minus the early shoulder issues. I like the Bandai 1/48 but the leg connection is kinda wonky. 

Those are pretty good. Who makes them?

found them. Nice chunk of change for 1/8 scale. Look real good though. 

Couldn’t find this thread originally. Anyone picking these up? I have all three on order now.  Jet not pictured  

Just opened the PF 0D. Have to say it looks pretty damn good. 
 

not that I thought the old 0D looked bad

Kakizaki was a Tamashii Web Exclusive so it won't be available at the usual shops like Amazon and HLJ at all.

If you didn't snag a preorder when it was open your best bet is going to be watching stores for secondary market listings - Mandarake, etc - for people who got theirs and then immediately sold them - or places like Yahoo Japan Auctions, ebay, etc.

Maybe NY will pull through and not jack the prices through the roof. 

Not 1/6 but 1/4. Wasn’t sure where to put these but anyone picking these up?

I think getting a fourth 21 for de-limiter mode may be the silliest purchase to date. Yeah, I nee a minty (couldn't find any non minty ones) YF-21 with Supers so I can leave half of it in the box. I'm a moron.

Your killing the collecting scene. It’s taken me a decade to grow my collection into what it is. Nice 21’s!

oh and I’d definitely slap one of them In high speed mode. 

Anywhere to preorder the kakizaki 1A that’s reliable. Missed the preorder window. Hope it’s easy to snag after release.

Yeah I think I’m going for that too

Getting on the calibre train!  Emailed for the F14 shin. Didn’t get the discount though. 

I’d get a couple CF’s for sure.
