Are there two versions of the VF-1J Cannon Fodder? I noticed the wing white stripe on the one that I have and no stripe on the Yamato website.

Yamato's website shows:

What came in the box:

Just wondering which is the correct color scheme?

WOW. That's interesting. I like the one from the website personally. I am certain others here will now post pics of theirs to see what matches up. Maybe you got a special one. Doubt it. But just maybe.

Geez Kirik, you are a one-man show! Probably a break is well deserved. Are you sure you don't want to help out just a little for MacrossSon10, the biggest Con in 10 years? Even just being the Host/Judge?

Well, I'll pitch in to help next year if needed. I do a lot of tasks similar for work anyways; contacting suppliers, setting up meetings, keeping track of projects and so on. Just give me a PM or email.

Kirik, I agree with Ron. I too will make next years Con and be more than happy to help out. Just PM or email me. You work hard. So you should play hard next year.

I have taken some of our member photos (including some of mine) and just put them into a MacrossCon09 video on YouTube.

For those who just want more than still photos, here is the link:

MacrossCon FTW !

Brilliant. You are absolutely awesome!

ello everybody. This was my first macross themed con and I love it! I can't wait for next year for the big 10th year anniversary. By the way, I'm the dude that won the Karaoke competition. Sorry for the horrifying sight of me dancing to Seikan Hikou, lol.

Welcome to the boards. I hope to meet you next Con. You made a lot of people very happy. LOL.

at least we're not getting here those mile long essay styled post from hardcore Macross 7 and Basara fans about why it was the best Macross and Basara is God to them

take note, I never read them, I just scroll my mouse wheel fifty times to the next post

That's funny.

I just started watching Macross 7 last night. I must have been tired, cause I only made it through the first 3 episodes and then crashed. I will watch the rest of them so I know what it's all about. I guess to answer the question of this thread. I would still buy Mac7 valks if Yamato made some. The valks made back in the day to represent the Mac7 series sucked. That's my personal opinion.

thanks for the link. I had already been there hoping to shine more light on those mystery parts. But I had no luck.

anyone know what is the piece besides the NW corner of chest plate armor?

And the piece below the feet covers?

Not sure about the piece below the feet covers but the NW corner piece I think is the part that goes behind the "neck" are. With the ladder and whatnot for the pilot. The piece that used to come with the 1/48 valks w/GBP and w/Super & Strike Parts. Do you know what I mean?

Lookin good mate!!! People say the shuttle mode is bland and battroid meh, they are crazy cats, Variable Koenig ins in all 3 modes!!!

I agree and cannot wait for the Macross Frontier version, should they release one.

But there service is 2nd to none.

I believe that based on what I have heard from everyone here. It is just that I do not have money to put up front. Too bad for me.

yes

damn

because some of us don't have a hikaru 1J yet so

I don't have the 1J. I am going to be getting it soon. And the TV Super Parts as well. But I agree with ron.

Although, now that I think about it. When the original VF-1 1/60 line came out, did they release the GBP set stand alone first or bundled w/1J first? I know I had seen it w/1J.

Magnificent workmanship.

well, I was just trying to share my nerdy revelation... not be an ass about it.

LOL. Sorry. I really do know you where not trying to be an ass. I am sorry if what I said put it out that way. Us nerds gotta stick together. We're all we have. Well, we have our Macross as well.

I was just watching DYRL when I remembered this post, the display is projected on the canopy and isn't an HMD afterall.

SNAP!

You pay for pre-orders before they arrive with OverDrive?

I assume most guys who attended the con are probably attending Comic Con and haven't been able to post video. Can't wait to see the karaoke footage everyone has been raving about!

I cannot wait for a video either. It seems that this year was a good turn out. I could not make it. I hope to go for the 10th Anniversary though. I take it you did not attend this year MacrossMan? Will you be going next year. I have seen pics of your collection. You seem to be a "true" Macross fan.

I'm sure a larger scan will surface soon, but you can make out what the parts are here:

Thanks for the scan. It's nice to see how the broke out the parts.

Very impressive. Poses are much easier to pull off now, compared to the 1/48 counterpart it seems. Definitely sold.

Side covers at last. :]

I totally agree. Posing will be amazing.

I want to know how there side covers compare to my custom ones

I am interested in this as well. If they're well made, will you be recasting?

I'm going to be so broke this year

I hope this bundle comes fully tampo printed. For the armor set only I want it tampoed too except for the modex number (time for army building!!)

I must say Yamato did a great job with the 1/60 ver 1.0 and 1/48 GBP-1S armour; but no doubt the new 1/60 ver 2.0 will be far superior than all the previous releases.

With all the learnt experiences and the better proportioned valk, not to mention I am almost certain the armour design was taken into account when the valk was developed, this new GBP-1S should rock the world!

I could not agree more. It also seems that the valk. will actually be a bit

more stable with this armor and not be hard to display. I do not care for how chunky the 1/48 GBP is at all.

looks great with those side covers!

I agree. Do the side covers help with the shoulder issues at all? I mean, does it help limit the movement of the arms?

Whoa. Those pics are amazing. Great job.

Amazing pics and poses you guys. I need to get in on this.

Ahh...didn't see the earlier post, so cool deal. Looking forward to seeing all the festivities in all their HD glory.

As am I. I was very disappointed to not make it to this years Con. I guess I'll just have to make 2010 the one to go to. It looks like everyone was having a good time.

Does anyone have a scan of this art? Please help.
