  1. Finally got mine today. I'm struggling with taking a good picture with my crappy camera. Alto looks good and I'm loving him so far.
  2. I've been thinking about bringing my hi metal vf-1j to work. I mean, a few pieces probably wouldn't hurt. My concern would be whether it would make me look less professional and ultimately affect my career development. If I don't care about advancing then I wouldn't think twice about it and display it all already. I don't have enough shelf space at home already.
  3. So some of you actually display your macross stuff at work? I've always wanted to do that but not sure how others will take it. I already look younger than my age, don't want my coworkers to think I'm immature too by still playing with what they call "toys".
  4. Thank you!!! Finally had time to install the hinge on my VF-1A Hikaru, and it was pretty easy to do! Hinge fit great and works well. The ball joint was a tad loose but nothing a couple layers of nail polish can't fix. Thanks again for doing this.
  5. Haven't transformed my alto for awhile but was messing with it today. I'm having trouble getting the neck plate to stay up while in battroid mode. Does anybody else have this problem and is there a solution for this? I don't have this problem on my Omza.
  6. What does it say about YF-29, sth being re-issued?
  7. thanks guys! it sounds like Hikaru and Minmay will be included......but since most of the site don't state it explicitly I had to ask.
  8. does the VF-1D come with both Hikaru and Minmay?
  9. Took forever to checkout. I barely got home when the preorder went up, was expecting later tonight but guess I was wrong. Glad I don't have to spend all night hitting F5.
  10. i ordered a $470 item from anime king once and they shipped it with minimal packing, Shipping box fell apart during transit, and the item had dings and tears on the box and missing pieces. I returned the item promptly, and they refunded promptly, but they wouldn't refund my return shipping cost and not a word of apology despite the few messages I sent them. Never ordering from them again.
  11. drool.......can't wait till April, and then July......
  12. BBTS has it, not cheap, $259.99 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN14230&mode=retail
  13. I wonder if it's just a lot of scalpers out there buying all available quantities or just that the numbers are so limited that the few ppl who happened to be watching during those 15 minutes got them all....... I mean, 3AM in CA, 6AM in NY, pretty much none of us in US would be in front of the computer.
  14. has anybody ordered from this site before? are they legit?
  15. picked it up from the post office....it's pretty awesome. The crotch joint is not as tight as the Alto one on mine, but this one seems easier to transform. paint job is okay, very minor bleed around the skull. For SAL small packet, i've been tracking my orders and based on a sample size of 16, delivery time is from 6 to 32 days with an average of 17 days. So this one is right in the middle.
  16. Just got the slip this evening, will pick it up tmr.
  17. I find it ironic that it's been more difficult to secure one of these mass released items than the tamashii web exclusive stuff. I stalked 3-4 sites for weeks before I was able to get the pre-orders in for Alto and Ozma. I doubt I'll have the luck with YF-29, seeing how many scalpers are out there buying it purely for profit.
  18. i'm waiting for my VF-25S as well.....shipped from hobbysearch on 1/17.
  19. everywhere i checked this toy is not available for pre-order.......is demand really that high or it's just that the vendors haven't figured out how many units they have yet and haven't started a full blown pre-order?
  20. Thanks guys again for your input! I'm leaning towards VF-17. My SOCs seem to stay together fine and hold its value pretty well. I guess over in the macross arena with Yamato it's not the same. Luckily, my Yamato Danguard Ace is fetching higher prices over time.
  21. Thanks for the wonderful input. I did read both reviews by Jenius and was impressed with both. Both seem to be great toys and that's what makes it hard to decide between the two. To sum up what I have read: VF-17 : more attractive design due to its distinctiveness from all other valk more shelf presence due to larger size more expensive VF-19: slightly better engineering potentially slightly better gimmick, small margin more bang for the buck Let me take this into another direction, which valk will hold its value better over time?
  22. Thanks for the input guys. I'm leaning towards the VF-17. LOL, my favorite part was the pilot comparison where 17 wins hands down.
