  1. What's a good resource for finding planes in 1/60 scale? Do any have deploy-able landing gear or are they all swap-out style?
  2. I did. I want them to make it right, but knowing HLJ they probably will, so I'm not terribly worried about it.
  3. I actually paid full price at HLJ but received a similarly dinged box. If your order get's cancelled then maybe that's why... :/
  4. Re-posting this here: Mine is flawless thus far, or as flawless as it can be considering. My only critiques are that the aforementioned fast packs could benefit from magnets in the leg armor, like the VF-0's had; that worked swimmingly. I would also have liked it if the canards folded down ala VF-4G. I also wish that the glare guard piece forward of the canopy were looser fitting and spring-loaded so that you could open the canopy more easily and then it would just pop itself back into place when you closed it.

  6. Every damn VF- should have a Skull 1 version. I'd buy them all. Nice work!!
  7. But, aren't the hands visible like that in the anime? I remember that being the case.
  8. I'd totally get an Octos. I'd be tempted to have a bathtub battle with the -0D though
  9. Yeah, I dig the missile pod. This thing looks f'in sweet!
  10. Mine cleared SF customs and made it to Sacramento in a day. Gotta' love San Francisco customs, they are always FAAAST!!! I'll be seein' this tomorrow.!
  11. Hi everyone. Normally I would post about this in the wanted forum, but I'm hoping to get more exposure here. My VF-25A is missing it's left/port side shoulder panel. It is the panel that pop's off to allow the missile launcher box on the super armor attach. I was wondering if there was someone here who was intending to put super parts on and never take them off, or has a broken one (looking at you Tking22) who wouldn't mind selling me theirs. If yeah, please PM me. Thanks.
  12. Man, reading all of these accounts, it almost sounds like people are getting two different versions of the same toy. Some are saying that the fit and finish are superior to the previous iteration, where others make it sound like they got YF-19's that came from a Taiwanese bootleg factory. Weird.
  13. I skipped around because a lot of it doesn't really interest me, but I couldn't find discussion of the YF-30. Whereabouts in the podcast is the discussion?
  14. No, to the right of that. The unpainted, light beige one.
  15. On the topic of the images posted for April fool's, is that a VF-9 Cutlass to the lower left of that pink bass guitar? Edit: it's close, but there are differences... what is that?
  16. FUUUUUUUDGE!!! Ami Ami was a bust for me. Same login problems and it was sold out before I was able to wade through the muck. Luckily I was able to procure one at CD Japan. Thanks again for hooking me up Skullmilitia!!!
  17. I remember reading somewhere that Yamato had stated that the shoulder problems with the original VF-0 releases wasn't the weakness of the plastic that was used per se, but due to how the plastic that was used reacted with other plastics used for adjacent parts, having a corrosive effect.
  18. I'm kind of tempted to get the blue one to see what it would look like on the upcoming YF-25
  19. They could always reissue all of the -25's via on-line exclusive and bundle 'em with some option parst like thrust/gunfire effects to satisfy the needs of straggling buyers (like myself) and entice some sales to O.C.D. completists (unlike myself).
  20. NY has -25Fs available for sale that they are claiming to be reissues. Since they are the only ones with them in stock I doubt that this is the case. I'd like one, and should have picked one up as soon as I saw them there because at the time they were selling them for 18,000 yen. The VERY NEXT DAY, when the tornado packs were available for pre-order they bumped the price up to 26,500 -most likely in hopes of raking in more money in an anticipated buying frenzy. The price has since dropped to 25,500. http://www.nippon-yasan.com/macross/4884-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25f-messiah-valkyrie-saotome-alto-custom-renewal-version-reissue.html
