Maybe you can print a version of arm  - I still have CAD version of that arm some where ...

I'd be interested in the CAD model. If it's available as an STL to print even better.

No, they're obviously still using the same crap factory.  I don't expect any real improvement until they change factories.

I got mine today, and was anxious to compare them to the original Imai releases:

The new boxes are a little smaller, but (apart from a few logo and typographical changes) the box art's the same.  After three decades and change, they still haven't learned how to spell "Borough Superior."

Every sprue is identical to the original release, right down to the plastic color (except for the clear parts, which no longer have the blue tint to them).  The decals are likewise identical, save the color of the backing paper.  Even the instruction booklet's a carbon-copy of the original, and shows the sort of contrast degradation you get with a photocopy.

But wait, what's this?

It's an entirely new insert,

If anyone wants one, they're welcome to mine.  I got three of 'em.  

I'll take one. Send me a pm.

I agree with the Captain. I REALLY want to see your build.

I would like to, but it is tucked away in one of my storage boxes. If you don't mind waiting, I will try.

I've got time. Work has be busy and I find it hard to put anything together right now.

Love the enthusiasm. 

Lol

Finally home after a work trip. Glad to see my 2 boxes arrived safe and sound. 

I'd say, keep 2 of each and sell the rest. That way y ou keep 1 mint inside box, and you can display the other.

No, that was last month.  I suspect the Garmo's getting reissued next.

I'm probably confusing it to the smaller invid he made.

Hey VT, do you mind posting, or pm me the instructions for the launch arm. I lost mine somewhere during my 3 house moves.

Great news. 

Any idea what's up next? Pinky space crab? 

Here's my take, I'm no expert either.

Some poses, if not all, do look like they came out of a fashion magazine. Rick Hunter meeting Roy for example. Another is Claudia on the bridge while the attack is on, she is standing with her hand on her hip as if she got to the end of a fashion runway. Another is when Minmei is shown running. It's as if someone was told to pose like they were running without running.

The inking is way too thick. It makes, for example, Minmei's hair look all nappy and dirty, almost like a homeless person's hair. 

No navy personnel would wear stripper shoes to work.

The story is different. Roy went from somewhat of a big brother we all wants to have, to a brother who's disowned his family. Rick escaped from prison (the brig) and stole a car (military aircraft.) So now he's your typical felon...

As Captain said, if it was a different title, maybe I'd want to read more. But no matter how great the story is. If the art doesn't follow suit, then it just plain kills it. 

I had high hopes for the art, considering the Artgerm cover and other variants. What's the point of an awesome cover if the Meche doesn't even match! 

Very cool. Can't wait to get it in my hands. 

Words can't express the sheer awesomeness of your build!

Simple green has worked for me.

Really cool.

Eagerly awaiting news.

Just got these. Including the bikes.

Macross Vf-1a kit

Nice homemade airbrush paint booth.

I've picked up Stanley's 2nd art book a while back.

I also follow Scott Campbell and have a few of his variant comic covers.
