You could check out jenius' awesome page about Macross toys. http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=6244 Or check Macross Worlds own toy achive http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/takatoku.htm

It would be preferable if all collector toys are purely assembled with detachable connections like screws or to an extend pins because then you as the owner can disassemble the toy for repair/maintenance easily. Unfortunately those connections require a certain material thickness like the screw thread to be give a save connection or a certain size so it can be assemble with human hands (pin or screw head diameter). Also small details like lenses or transparent parts need to be glued because a screw or a clip is not viable. Plus it's cheaper to glue something because metal for screws. pins and tools is expensive. So for some parts gluing is the only option. I don't know a complex toy that doesn't require gluing when assembled in a factory.

It would be a great help if you could actually buy the launch arm stands for MSRP. But since Yamato is no longer all hope is lost. Maybe Arcadia picks the designs up if they start with their Valkyrie production once again. The stand design does not have to be fancy for my tastes. For example I really like the Bandai stands for the Renewals. They are easy modifiable, do a good job holding the Valkyrie and you don't need to fiddle with your toy to attach them. As a plus they have a nicely designed and painted base. The only thing that would be extra nice is a label that describe what is displayed on the stand.

Thank god Macross is not Transformers. *shutter*
-
The No Step markings on the underside of the wing are there because the are present on the cg-model. For reference see the Macross Mecha Manual® (http://www.macross2.net/m3/m3.html) Regarding the Super Parts for the VF-171CF (and I know it's in vain) I'm still hoping that we get the correct color from The Wings of Goodbye.

But what's with that priest collar of the 1/60 VF-1s? *adds fuel to the fire*
-
I'm not sure about that. At my work there is a SAP tool that works correctly only when accessed through the Internet Explorer. However that has nothing to do with the VF-27.
-
I noticed that the right leg on my CF makes this nasty snap while rotating it back for Fighter-Mode. It's the same thing as Veef showed in his review of the VF-171EX Alto Custom. Is this something to worry about? Can I take the leg apart and fix something? Or am I doing something wrong while transforming? The other leg seems fine though.
-
Hm what's up with that second confirmation email? I got one order confirmation and in my HLC account it shows up to be processed to my private warehouse.
-
I got one also. It's suspicious that so many are able to order one. Should I secure my order with another order from NY..... hm decisions decisions.
-
That is true but I think the Super VF-27 blends in better with the Renewals because the feet have the same metallic finish. And I love the Lucifer in Battroid-Mode especially with the Super Parts on the back. They give the VF-27 a spiky look just like the Devil. The head sculpt as well as the color (Valkyrie and add-on parts) are also striking. It's also different enough from the VF-25 so it brings sum much needed variety to the Frontier shelf. That is my personal opinion though.
-
Waiting for NY. After they delivered me my VF-171CF I'm quite pleased by their shop. Hope the first mark-up is not to steep.
-
For me the server was down then the item was sold out and then the server went down again.

Those damn DDoS attacks!

It's the calm before the storm.

I'm thinking since the VF-171CF and the YF-29 30th Anniversary reissue where and are still available maybe Bandai really ramped up their production runs. I'm hoping for the same on the Super VF-27 and people stop with this preorder madness. Uh only 10 Minutes left *F5, F5, F5,....*
-
Oh that is nice I would totally buy this instead of the Lucifer.
-
Yeah that Shin Getter is really awesome. It lights up and has a shiny red finish. Watch that preorder happen! Nothing to see here!
-
I transformed mine from Fighter to Gewalk mode and no CG issues showed up. But I can understand why people don't like this walk. Those damn cockpit support strut oh I hate it so much. After several WTF moments trying to get the chest into place it now sits peacefully in my cabinet pointing in anger at me *cough* I mean at the Vajra on the other side of the room. I really dig it and I like the color but I wished it had the blueish hue like it had on the promotion pictures.
-
Hm so can I pretend that the "women" in the VF-25S is Cathy Glass?
-
That is pretty cool. I hope it's not a VF-171 stand with the generic launch hatch detail. Although I think it fits the CF version more then the Alto one because cannon fodder doesn't need fancy stands for their <0.5 seconds screen time.
-
I hope they do. I would love to sea a stand with the Macross Galaxy logo on it. I still miss the New U.N.Spacy kite on the stand of the VF-171CF
-
My VF-171CF arrived finally. Fortunately no missing boob-lasers, cockpit support struts or other breakage. One of the little filler piece on the underside of the shoulder was so tight that I was afraid of breaking if I'd pushed it further into the body of the Valkyrie. I unscrewed the part to check if anything was blocking the way but apparently the screw was screwed in with to much torque so that there was not enough clearance to push the part in smoothly. Other then that I'm liking it so far. Also my first order from NY and everything went fine so I'm definitely ordering more stuff from them.

My VF-17S arrived today from angolz and I could play a bit with it and I'm liking it so far. I noticed a very tight canopy, chest plate and front landing gear doors and a loose left arm. So far so good. The toy as a minor scratch on the underside of the left arm in Battroid-Mode but nothing major. It is fun to transform I think on par with the VF-19S. I thought the gap between the backpack and the back of the toy would bug the hell out of me but in person it is a minor nuisance. It looks massive in Battroid-Mode so I fear my biggest con of the toy (that it does not blend in well with the Excalibur) will still be present. However I didn't hat the chance to compare them together because I'm rearranging my cabinets at the moment. It is a great toy even and I will probably try tor sticker it with the markings it had in the show if I can trim them so they don't dive me crazy when I look at the toy. Another downside of the toy is that I'm now crave for a VF-22S Max Type. I'm eagerly awaiting the VF-171CF so I can compare them both.

Lucky you!
