I need one! Please tell me the info and where to send the money. YOU ARE A GAWD. fifbeat@hotmail.com

I thought ABS plastic didn't yellow?

I'd pay $20 for it, but no more. Looks cool, but at the same time, looks tacky as hell. Still a lot better than anything Toynami has made Maybe Toynami should just repackage this into their book-style boxes and sell them for $80 a pop. (hehe) And man, to comment about some of the forum topic issues: do we have to break down the forums so much? Who cares if it's an ebay or toy discussion... it's a TOY and it's on EBAY... so, it belongs in either/or as far as I'm concerned. Why make things complicated? 2 years from now, we're going to have a forum for every aspect: TOY FORUM TOY YOU GOT FROM EBAY FORUM TOY YOU GOT FROM SOME FILIPINO GUY FORUM TOY YOU GOT FROM SWAP MEET FORUM TOY YOU BOUGHT WHILE EATING A SNICKERS BAR FORUM Thanks mods for not moving this thread. And to the guys who want to make trivial things complicated... uh... your lives must be one, big cluster frakk.

please delete, mods.

The best customs I've seen. Good work. (now, can you do mine?)

good job! I've been working on a custom PS'd VF myself.

Good post.

Damn -- were they really MADE IN JAPAN?

I don't know why... but this thread has to be the most interesting to me out of any in this whole forum. There's nothing like a good hit of memory lane. I swear, I forgot these things existed until a couple of days ago. These damn Convertors should be selling for $500 on ebay.... Giant Moth... classic.

or "giant moth". Man, these toys bring back memories. So much for me, because I (my parents) could never afford the real crap.... so I was stuck with Sav-on Drug toys.

ewilen... NICE info. I love it.

WOW! I haven't seen that for a looong time. Thanks for posting the link. That's what they're called... sigh.

I remember one color-scheme I had of this POS was black, purple and had some of the stupidest-looking stickers I've ever seen. LMAO! Man, I miss those days.

hehe I remember those. There was a whole series of them (and they were really popular at Swap Meets)... I remember my Sav-on drug store had them. I forgot what company they were under, but in the same scale and cheap design, they also had the SDF, some Gerwalk stuff and much more "crap". Nice.

Sweet. I'll contact him for sure. Thanks.

oye... The part that broke was VERY crucial. I might not be able to transform it (unless I'm really really careful -- but even that's pushing it; considering the pressure the little plastic piece takes. Right now (as pictured) it's glued-in fine, but the moment I try to transform it, I'm sure it will come apart. Anyone have any ideas? (if you still can't see in the picture, it's bastically one of the two 'holes' that the tiny metal bar pokes into.

I was adjusting some stuff on my shelves, then did something unexplainable and the damn thing fell It broke into a bunch of pieces just like that episode in Robotech when Rick drops his little model plane when he hears of the good news involving Roy... It broke into all possible pieces that are removable. This is about 5 or 6 feet onto my carpet floor. Miraculously, the only thing that really "broke" were the hinges that held the tail wing-board together. I was able to patch that up with a little glue. My conclusion: These frakking things are built pretty damn good. Final thoughts: I'm one clumsy prick. Has any one else see their VF's take a crash landing... or am I the only idiot in this forum?

So, IF it IS for the Armour, then how would the armour work on the 1/60s?

Well, sometimes "extra" things aren't always good. *cough* lit-up heads *cough*

It's funny you bring this up. I had my 1/48 for a month. The other day I decided to apply stickers (I only applied ones that mattered the most... not all).. Anyway, I didn't use my originals, either. I used the Kata-toys ones. Man, they're really cool. They're not as thick and shiney as the cheapo's that it comes with. They stick better (even in rounded places they curl). If you press hard enough they get into the cracks and gel well with the plastic on the toy (not as good as decals, but pretty damn good). They're VERY worth the prices. Besides, just like someone mentioned, it comes with enough to dress up a few valks. Cutting them out is no big deal. X-acto blades work great and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. (of course, this is coming from a non-model builder)...

Thanks, guys. However, if the removable nose will be "useful" for the 1/48's; then how are they going to manage it for the "upcoming" 1/60 GBP armor? Are they gonna equip the armor with a hacksaw? Riddle me this, batmen...

What's the purpose of the removable nose cone? (1/48, obviously) I mean, it's not like it's all detailed in there once you take it out; it's just a little black plastic thingy... in fact, I'd rather have it non-removable -- cuz I remember the thing kinda coming off during transfomations. Am I missing something here?

Yes, not to say the 1/60's don't have detail; they do. However, the 1/48's are better engineered, more tight (in ANY mode) and overall, they're just solid in almost every aspect. If a 1/60 is stress, then 1/48 is chronic. With a 1/48, you'll KNOW where your money went.

Collection aside, GET A Yamato 1/48 -- it's a must-buy. It's the most awesome thing I've ever held in my hands since my first experience masturbating. 'nuff said.
