Thanks to rnurmin for the 1/48 Focker. Item was packed well and shipped super fast as usual. Great seller

Godamnit, media player will only run the audio, what codec do I have to download this time?

I think it's DivX. Media player 11 played it fine for me.

This is probably a fan design. I doubt this is the Kawamori design that Graham mentioned, what with Valkyrie being misspelled and all. I should hope that by now Kawamori knows how to spell Valkyrie

I just wish we had better pictures of this credit card valk. It looks very plain, but the pictures are so small. Oh well, if anyone has the "completist" bug, at least this scheme should be pretty easy to reproduce. I wonder if it came with any kind of special packaging or a certificate of authenticity or anything of the like?

They are gonna sell and sell. When are they out ?

According to HLJ, apparently some time in July

The VF in fighter mode looks FAT with that paint scheme.

So....maybe Kakizaki is piloting it?

You two have nothing to worry about. I've been ordering from HLJ for nearly 10 years, and I've never been burned.

Good to hear

Cool! We basically have the same collection. I see you're missing the M&M's. I have Miria, but am missing Max as well. Good thing they're finally being reissued

I'm looking for an official Yamato 1/48 sticker sheet for a DYRL valk in NEW/UNUSED condition with no stickers missing. Please PM if you can help.

Thanks!

I don't generally believe in pre-ordering things, especially toys. I've also never ordered from HLJ. All that being said, my pre-order has been placed I will not miss out on Max's Super 1J again

Oh hell yes! This is great news. I knew better than to pay $350 on ebay for a Max. Now I can get him at a decent price. I might even order 2 if I can save up the cash by then

Looks like I'm in the minority. I kind of like 'em. Well, the VF-1 at least. I guess I'm just a sucker for the VF-1. Sure it's not the BEST looking VF-1 repaint, but I'd buy one if it was released. I just wish it was a 1S and not a 1J, that's my only real complaint.

Thanks. I've been trying to convince Chris that we need to have another paint session to make the stripes red.

And a red visor. It just doesn't look like Jetfire without a red visor j/k Really awesome work.

EDIT: Spelling. Doh!!

pm me what you'd want to pay including shipping to you for one

PM sent!

^ Bump ^

I voted "Have no real interest in repaints of this". Personally, one YF-19 is plenty for me. While I like the design, I don't like it enough to buy repaints ad nauseam like I did with the VF-1.

I'm looking to buy a Focker 1/48 VF-1S with box, all accessories, and stickers unapplied. PM if you're interested in selling

Thanks!

good point. actually, now that I think about it, the star wars comics and books are like this. they're supposed to take place in the same universe and have introduced all sorts of things... things that lucas uses or disregards at whim in his movies. So what is canon and what is not? the books that preceeded the prequels but are contradicted in the movies? Or the movies, that the creator of the universe makes?

Granted, Kawamori wasn't the singular creator of macross in the way lucas is with star wars... but he is the defacto figurehead for the series.

You're exactly right about the SW books and comics. They get the blessing of Lucas Arts, but they are not considered canon. George Lucas has said that the only things that are canon are the movies. I'm guessing the upcoming TV series will be considered canon since he is involved, but I'm not certain.

so... if I were to produce a star wars movie, without the approval of lucas, you would accept it as canon? is that what you're saying? let's say I place the movie between ep 3 and 4... and let's say I include scenes that completely contradict events in ep 4. you would still accept this right?

I see your point, but its not quite the same. MacII is still a Big West production, its just that SK wasn't involved. For your example to be more applicable, you would have to have produced the new movie with the consent/backing from Lucas Arts but without the involvement of George himself.

Ah, but as soon as you equip the VF-1J with the GBP it can also be displayed with the DYRL Skull Squadron since an armored VF-1J did appear in DYRL

I saw that auction for the Wave SDF-1 and considered reporting the auction to eBay, but decided not to

That is very fortunate of you indeed. did you order directly from them o via amazon?

Oh don't make it sound like he just got lucky. I've ordered about 8 1/48 valks, a couple of 1/60 valks, two 1/48 GBP armor sets, and numerous other non-Macross items from tisinc99.com and have never once had a single issue with them. I'm not saying others here haven't had their problems, but I do think its a small vocal group that tends to paint this picture that they're (tisinc99.com) some awful shop out to rip us all off, and I just don't think that's the case

It's not Puffy anymore, it's Diddy. Puffy was so 2004. So those cry babies at Puffy Japan can have their stupid little name back

This whole trend of calling the fold booster a dildo or foldildo is really getting out of hand.

I blame EXO
