pm'd!

they're still on tru shelves in the UK, and i can get one for you, but postage will prolly be too high (assuming you're in the US) :/

all the transparent parts ARE clear [visor, landing gear door parts, shoulder thingies, etc] - i remember reading somewherethe official photos have the coloured clear parts (and the kite logo on the wing) even though the actual valk doesn't as yamato did not have the actual product, or photos of it, at the time and just photoshopped an existing 'regular' valk for the official pre-production photos.

sort of - you pop the head off and the cover piece is affixed to the 'neck stump' and via clips further down on the arms where the gunpod goes; but not the middle ones in between the arms where the gunpod goes in valkyrie mode, the ones on the opposite side of the forearmes which are offset from either side of the middle, near where the legs meet the arms -- does that make sense?

pm'd!

hope you don't mind, but i sent you a PM

might be able to do a three-way, kai!

hope this is okay as it's not macross-related - if not, please delete

wtt my fewture mazinger or great mazinger (first edition, not the later reissue with bluish upper arms and thighs) for a 1/24 yamato patlabor ingram av-98 unit 2.

gimme a shout if you'd like to work out a deal

can't wait!

pm sent for the arbalest.

i don't think any ban is warranted - gatsu asked a question and the good folks of mw chimed in with answers/suggestions...

Ok, now somebody please explain me a thing: i'm seing 1/48 valkyries being sold for more than mine, blank common valkyries.... in these days i saw a simple and used 1/48 vf-1j sold for 250 bucks, and the armor too for 150$!!! The total is about 430 $!! It's more than a year that i'm trying to sell a piece of art, where i put my blood, and NOBODY SEEMS INTERESTED ON IT.... Is there some kind of boicot that MW utents are doing against me for some reason that i don't know??? Any suggestion would be appreciated , thanks.

curious, if you spent so much time, money, and effort into building this custom, why are you selling it? it's a decent looking figure, and i have been tempted several times to get it as the VF-1J is my favorite valk, but there's a couple of reasons i haven't bitten.

1. $390 for a custom piece is still a good chunk of change. Think of what you could buy for $390 in the toy world that's current, in demand, and not a 1/48 VF-1J which has been out for 6 years. If this custom were to come out when it was initially released and still in demand, i think you'd make a sale easy because people wouldn't have had one already, and wouldn't mind getting a customized version. (i have 3 GBPs)

2. I should probably take this to PM, but honestly i've never liked your attitude in your sale threads. You really come off poorly in your descriptions and your complaining about why people haven't bought your custom. Your arrogant and condescending tone really puts me off. If i were trying to sell my customs, i'd let the pictures do the talking for me and build up a good reputation to sell my work. If you tried being a bit more humble, it might help your sale and also any future custom sales.

bingo!

can't really add more to what's been expressed in this thread, dan, other than you've made a serial lurker like me actually feel like i have no choice but to post my admiration for this project! great work!

willing to buy any vf-1 head; will consider any, but j-type from unpainted kit preferred. also willing to trade for my option parts (side vent/s, neck cover, and/or seat)

cheers for looking and pm or email me at aynar5 at yahoo dot com!!!

Plenty of places are heaps cheaper than HLJ just look around and yes hkcollectibles are reliable. More so than HLJ IMHO.

still off topic but are hkcollectibles willing to declare a lower value for customs declaration?

i know it's a longshot but i'm having very little luck on ebay -- can anyone help me in getting a scott cyclone or 2 for a reasonable price? looking for under $200 (new)/ $150 (used but complete) shipped to UK?

cheers!

should've done my research

Because the inside of the 1/60 yf-19 leg is pretty much filled with the landing gear box and foot mechanics. There's very little free space inside.

Chock it up to anime magic.

i was under the impression that the missile was stored in the fastpack leg armor, not the leg itself...

i just re-watched macross plus, and noticed that there was a scene where a missile was fired from the yf-19's fast pack/leg armor (it sort of flipped open and released a missile at the yf-21). does anyone know why this feature was not incorporated into yamato's yf-19? any modders out there who have, or would like to, try it?

I know Macross II gets a lot of flak, but I like the design of the VF2 and VF2SS

<ducks to avoid being pelted with rotten fruit>

yes for me!
