Macross Quarter

#1 VF-0S with Ghost Booster floppy as hell, but it looks the most stunning!! #2 VF-25F Super Messiah chunky, expensive and dated, but i still love it becoz it's Alto's ride #3 VF-1S Roy Focker The real deal... #4 YF-21 Insanely fiddly to transform, but one of the best fighter modes ever! #5 YF-19 Floppy again, fast packs that don't fit well.. but super stunning as a display!

mine... looks like they r all unique eh...

i know what u mean! That's the same problem that preventing me from picking up the Armored Alto to pose with VF-27 *sigh*

thanks... here's Destroid mode.. i cant get it to "walk" as well... maybe can only simulate it by bending the knees backwards...?

Really want to get this set.. once I can justify to myself on the price! Graham, not planning to attach the reactive missiles to Armored Ozma?

Got mine last week.. sharing some pics my camera battery ran out on me before i managed to snap Destroid mode.. will try again tmr!

Ok, it seems to hold still after superglue.. here are some pics to share:

Thanks Chris, Graham... I put one drop of superglue yesterday and this morning i checked, it looks solid enough. i think the real test is when transforming it! The head seems to be in a rather tight-fitting position. the chin seems like it would hit the body when turning it from side to side. scary!

i just got my VF-19S... and i broke the centre head laser as well i was just pushing it a little to see if it was moveable and.. *SNAP* it broke. what the hell, it was soft like a piece of candy! why couldn't they make it removable like the Fire valkyrie. sigh, anyone else had this problem besides Chris and myself?

strange.. i dun recall facing any problems with the stand...

Nice! But where's your 3rd Blazer?

My Tornado Messiah

I was thinking of getting the Alto Armor pack to dress up on the VF-25F tornado messiah, but after my ozma broke, I gave up the idea.. i havent tried epoxy to fix the broken pieces, but i'm giving superglue another try later

yeah, it sucks.. my vf-25g is having the same problem as yours.. floppy and the ankles dont seem to be able to hold well in standing position!

unless it appeared in the movie, it's hard to see it being a sought after item.. i mean, it just seemed to me that bandai originally intended to release the VF-25F super (white) but then thought that it might eat into the sales of the tornado messiah, so they gave it a blue tint to differentiate these two. i hope i'm wrong but everytime i look at the two sitting side by side, i just get the feeling the money spent on blue alto, should've been elsewhere

i only hv the YF-21, but i still think gamlin's vf-22s is way cooler with the black scheme and headsculpt!

Looks like a wide spread problem .. on mine, a piece of the hinge came off, so much harder to fix. It can still make battroid, but to be safe, i'd put something to support those heavy wings instead of letting the hinge take all the stress. probably a locking mechanism would've better distributed the weight than just leaving it hanging there.

my regret is buying the 1/60 VF-25F Super Alto Movie Edition... when I saw the Tornado messiah released, I knew I should've waited! Alto's valk is white, not white-blue-tinge!! Crap...I got the Tornado Messiah anyways

sure, np... i tried to super glue the damage part, but it just reopens when tranforming because thats such a critical part of the transformation oh well, its gonna be stuck in fighter mode from now on...

unfortunately last nite my VF-25S Armored broke on me during transformation sigh.. the heavy wing armor stressed the part too much... probably should've removed it before transforming

glad i havent bought the tornado messiah then... there's still plenty of them around. i guess not many ppl were enticed to buy yet another VF-25F, even though with the correct color scheme there was one pic where they fitted the tornado pack on michael's valk. doesnt look half as bad.. but yeah.... will there be other colors to it, or was alto the only one who got to use one in the movie?

no worries.. everyone's entitled to their own opinions i so need a VF-17 to fly along with basara

let me get this clear... the tornado pack and the missiles are all in one package (i.e. one item)? if so , those who bought the tornado messiah bundle would be kicking themselves

I hated mac 7 the first time i watched it. but it being part of macross, i decided to give it another chance. boy, i'm so glad i did! before i knew it, I was cheering on Basara everytime he went out singing! When u reach the last 5 or 6 episode, the whole series goes into a climax of epic proportions! Call it a silly series for kids with goofy bad guys, but basara's belief in the power of music won me over and i even listen to his songs now. not everyone's cup of tea i know, but give it a chance and maybe u'll be surprised
