What am I doing wrong with the head? The instructions for collapsing the nose and separationg the head are terrible. Now the head will not rotate completely out and the nose won't collapse and it's stuck like that. WTF?

A Full lineup of Orguss toys in 1/48 scale

Hey, you never asked what Macross toys I'd like to see Yamato make...

i'm going to wait and see what bandai puts out cause for me either way it will be a, "i told you so or i knew it."

Wait, I don't have time to re-read the last 10 pages, so is it confirmed that Bandai will be producing toys for this show?

Good God. The horror.

Could anybody point me to the thread that had that conceptual reimagining lineart of the Legioss/Tread that was posted last summer? I was aboard 'carrier at the time and the Navy provides us shitty bandwidth out there, making it effectively impossible for me to open the attachments.

Thanks

Hi everyone, thanks for your interest, but seeing as how bidding has already started for most of these items, please refrain from asking me to sell you these item outright. Perhaps I should have posted them for sale here first, I apologize for that. The next round of items I sell will be posted here and a few other forums first. As for these items, I cannot in good conscience end the auctions early; it's unfair to other bidders.

Thanks again!

And for those in this forum currently bidding, good luck!

This belongs in the auction section hobo!

doh.

Would a moderator please move this?

Bid hobos

considering the initial release of the q-rau was $120 or so, the prices on these aren't so bad...

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?s...op=1&fsoo=1

and yeah i paid like $120 shipped for mine and let me tell you, this toy is NOT worth $120 even if its the only q-rau toy out there.

I just picked up a Milia for about that much, and was quite pleased with it. It's not the most articulated figure in the world, but I think its more of a design flaw than anything wrong with this toy. My only complaint was that the missile launchers on the sides of the knees do not open and close like the shoulder ones. It's a really sturdy chunk of plastic and feels more like a Bandai DX Gundam in my hands than a Yamato toy, which I have come to expect to have lots of light and fragile parts. The pilot figure is ass though, so I recommend picking up the CMs versions if you care about these things.

HLJ doesn't care if you bought the valk from them or not, since they CHARGE you for the arms anyways, just email them.

Exactly.

Here, here! I'd buy replacement arms too if I could, but I didn't get my VF-0A from HLJ.

Graham, any possibility that Yamato will these arms available?

Has anyone tried to ASK HLJ?

parts@hlj.com

Too late for me to try that, since mine broke quite a while after having received my 0A. I still have to get around to epoxying those damned shoulders.

Not necessarily, I bought this while I was on cruise, and only just got around to opening it about a month ago... 2 1/2 months after I bought it. Anyway, even if YOU broke it and have to buy replacements, they were really responsive to me about getting me parts. My CM's Griffon also came with a broken ankle and HLJ were really responsive about that too. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to ask...

As for how they're holding up, I just switched them out yesterday so I'll keep y'all posted. You oughtta get replacements anyway, if for no other reason than to eiher install them and sell it, or have them available to the next guy when you sell it as is... if you don't want to fix 'em, do you want to sell me the head?

So I got back from a six month deployment about 1 1/2 months ago, openned my VF-0A that I had sent home to me during that time, and lo and behold, it didn't even make it to Gerwalk before the arms broke. I told HLJ that it arrived that way, and said the pitot was broken too, just because I didn't trust it, and within two weeks there were new parts at my house, free of charge. Of course, right after I replaced them, I dropped it and broke the head laser, but that's another matter entirely, the point is, if any one has purchased one from HLJ, has broken arms, and HAS NOT already contacted HLJ, tell them that it arrived that way. It may be that Yamato are reluctant to replace parts for free that may have broken as a result of rough treatment.

just my 2 cents...

Anyone have a replacement -0A head they want to part with??

*edited for spelling

Finally bought one, and when I opened it all of his Samurai "horns" were broken... anyone have a broken ZZ they wanna sell cheap so I can cannibalize it? The strange thing is that the box seems unopened and doesn't look like it got banged around at all. There are also no broken bits of yellow plastic floating around in the package, so I think it could have been put in the box like this originally. Also, surprisingly, there are no spare ones in the mix, like most other Chogo Gundam releases ...suckilicious...

Appreciate any help.

Someone beat me to this point but yeah, the -11 is roughly the same size as the VF-1 and the OG "1/72" release was actually closer to 1/62 scale when the math was done, in which case a 1/60 release would be a negligible size difference. I suspect that if the 'bolt gets the "ultimate" treatment that it'll be released in 1/48 scale... at least that's what I'm hoping for...

What I find strange is that these are being advertised at 1/48 scale which should make them larger than the MPC's which were 1/55 and were tiny. Is this a misnomer? If so, on who's part?

Yamato, we want you to make the following paintscheme:

Meh.

Superbug: [attachmentid=39982]

Superhornet: [attachmentid=39983]

There is no such thing as a "superbug" in Naval Aviation. They are called "Superhornets," "Rhino's" (on the flightdeck,) or "Echos" or "Foxtrots," depending on whether they have one or two seats...

...sorry, that just super-bugs me.

Unfortunately the VF-1 Enigma scheme was on a Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1. ]

dude. scroll up...

I agree, the lines aren't sharp at all... looks like a capsule toy. It also looks like really bad colors were chosen for the materials and the (painted? sticker?) details look gawdy. I think I could crap out a better looking SDF-1. Good thing I never really cared for the SDF-1 to begin with.

Orguss seconded... but only if done without parts swapping

Ugliest paint scheme evar

The Hidden

Land of the College Prophets

Evil Dead II

Eraserhead

Surf Nazis Must Die

Toxic Avenger

You know what, to hell with this.

Anyone know how good this is?

Yeah, it's in the garbage.  I don't want to see that crap haunt me, for christ sakes.

Whoa, now THAT's a waste. You should've listed it in the for sale section to sell for parts. I would've bought the stickers off of you at the very least; someone else may have lost the gun for theirs... You might've gotten $20-$30 back. Also, there is an instructional around here somewhere for a super sturdy fix for the hips. Sorry you got so pissed though... can't say I've never thrown inanimate objects in disgust myself, I can definately relate!!!

Graham:

Can you repost the VF-17S pics from Macross 7?

356653[/snapback]

You mean the pics of my custom Milia VF-17S toy?

They are still showing up OK for me on page 1 of this thread.

I think he means the scans you posted... they're not showing up.
