I know waht the Destroid Monster is, but what's this transformable "Konig Monster" everyone is talking about? Can someone post a pic, please. (Tried google, but got the destroid)

Those are the ones! Thanks. Man. Those memories. Those were the good ol' days.

Anyone remeber Revell's ROBOTECH model kits? I used to see these in the mid 80s. It was quite odd, they had mecha from Dougram, Orguss and Macross; and they simply called it "Robotech". There was even a DC comic-book based on the model kits (somewhat, I guess). Here are my questions: 1) Does anyone know of a gallery of these models or their box covers? 2) Was there any kind of relation between Harmony Gold/Revell? 3) If so, was there later legal issues between the two companies? Thanks in advance.

Wait a sec, can someone fill me in... What's all this talk about hands? What's wrong with the current 1/48's hands? Someone explain, please.

I just wish the darn 1/60 GBP's would come in, already! I just want to armour my "crippled" 1/60. I'm crossing my fingers that the armour will make the thing stand! 1/48 GBP's would be nice, though. It makes sense that the M&M 1/48's are to be released WITH armour only. I mean, since those two are the only ones that are color-matched. But what the heck do I know.

Thanks for the help, guys. Man, just got my FIRST 1/48 w/armour. Two words: BAD ASS. I'm going to order another one in a week or so.

My next question is: WHERE do I get decals for the toys? I'm aware of the Takatoys stickers, but not of model decals.

This stuff you're talking about, it's for "stickers" right?? (not water decals). And, where can I get it?

I also have a question about cutting and applying the stickers. When I got my first Yamato 1/60, I thought I was doing a good job. But, the edges of the stickers started peeling -- and they weren't even tampered with, ESPECIALLY the skull logo. With my 1/48, I ordered the Takatoys stickers. I'm going to use an Xacto knife... How should I cut them? Should I leave a little bit of clear edge? Or should I get as close to the image as possible? Please help -- thanks in advance, fellas. BTW, if any of this info is on the macrossworld site/forum, then please direct me to it. I just don't have a lot of patience to "search" for this stuff.

Sweet. I'm going to try and follow some of your guys' adice. And I'm going to that link right now.

Yeah, a static custom VF page is a great idea. I'm going to try and design a "Battle Royale" (anyone seen that movie?) VF. Gonna use the BR logo and everything (and I'm probably going to jack up one of my valks in the process.)

I searched around and didn't see a topic that would fit my question, so I started a new thread. I'm no painter, and I've never been a model-builder. But I've noticed in some of the threads that there are numerous Yamato's that people have painted and gave it that high-detailed "model" look by adding a nice touch of black in between the line-detail (cracks) of the VFs. My question: Is this easy to do? Can we easily mess up our VFs if it's done wrong? I'm not totally sure if I want to do it yet (based on my lack of experience), but they do look really cool touched up like that. Any advice? Any web links? Thanks in advance. (Hopefully, tomorrow my first 1/48 will be at my door step. I can't wait. )

Has there been any MACROSS II toys? That, I'd like to see. I always thought those VFs looked cool. I'm also looking forward to the Macross Zero VFs... hell, anything 1/48 scale would be cool IMO. Well, anything but that Macross 7 stuff.

Get me a 1/48 V of my choice, then we'll call it even. It's cool, it's just all a misunderstanding. Thanks.

I think all you guys convinced me. Well, at least I pre-ordered the Armoured Battroid Kit for my one and only 1/60; hopefully that will make that sucker stand still. *knock on wood*

Thank you, Hurricane.

Thanks for your help, Ace.

Fulcy, I understand. Re-read what I wrote. There are tons and tons of threads here that are related (and can be in one thread). Not only that, but it wasn't a "what's wrong" question. Where is the mods section?

Okay, since this one WILL get deleted, I'll re-post it in the mods folder. ... thanks for the heads up, muswp1.

Re: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=5684 It wasn't meant to be a teaser subject. In fact, I was going to change it, but I wasn't able to edit the subject, so I left it. However, was it really necessary to close the thread? I was just hoping to get more answers. I see A LOT of subjects here that are related (especially with the 1/48 topics); yet mine gets closed down (?). Sometimes, fresh threads get better results, wouldn't you guys agree? I have no problem with following rules, but please, I came here for answers and discussion. Help a brother out instead of closing my thread. I'd appreciate a little more slack. Thanks.

For sure. don't know about kits. I'm a horrible painter.

newca, thanks for the welcome.

Thanks, DrClay. I'll take your advice and never buy a 1/60 again.

When the VF-1A Hikaru Valkyrie 1/60 (Yamato) came out, I bought it. This was the "bright" white first issue (I believe). I wasn't happy with it. It looked good, but now -- even though it's only been transformed and screwed with probably no more than 14 times -- it's very loose. It's hard to get it to stand in battroid mode (one leg is more loose than the other) and in gerwalk mode, the legs have a problem staying on (!). Basically, this is the reason I didn't go on collecting the 1/60 series. Though, they're nowhere as near as bad as the MPC t hat Toynami put out, I thought the 1/60s were engineered sweet, but built very poorly. My question is: I'm thinking about getting the 1/60 VE-1 Elintseeker and the 1/60 VT-1 Super Ostrich. Now, I've read through this site (MW), and it seems there have been updates here and there as the 1/60's came out throughout the months... So, should I get them; or will i have the same problems with loose parts and legs? Please let me know. 1/48 Skull 1 is coming to my door on Monday. I can't wait.

Hi guys... I'm new here. I should be getting my first 1/48 this Monday... and I can't wait! I don't have much of a macross/robotech collection, but I'm hoping that will change soon. Here's what I have (if you guys care): Bandai 1/55: - VF1A - VF1J - Super VF1S Toynami 1/55: - VF1S (I'm sure you guys agree, this one is such a piece of crap. But it looks good in the bookcase. Nice job on the armour set, though) Yamato 1/60 - VF1A (bought this sucker when it first came out. It was nice, but everything is soooo loose. This is what stopped me from buying more...well, until now. I just ordered the re-issue of the 1/48 VF1S... I hope what's said about it is true. Anyways, just wanted to say that I enjoy this site. And yeah, my collection probably blows compared to your guys' - but hell, I'm a beginner.
