Fortress_Maximus came through with quick shipping and great packaging.

Noice pictures and thanks for the review. Boy am i happy we're not getting a reissue of the mess that the 1/60 GBP was. I hated even getting near mine, i was afraid even the slightest change in the enviorment would have armor pieces falling off.

Noice!

Any word on how well the parts hold onto the valk? I always have problems with the 1/60 GBP, stuff falls off with the slightest touch. I'm hoping this is a different story.

That's a neat little idea. I'm sure everyone's looking forward to the final products.

Looks neat!  I would be interested in a recasat (if it becomes available).

Noice! really well done mate!

Time to make a mold and repro them now

Haha, that isamu is awesome, what did you make it from?

I just got my gundam from zeo-mare and all in all it was an awesome transaction. Quick shipping and good packaging. Also his communication as to what was going on with the item was top-notch. Thanks again.

Welcome to the hobby, heh, it gets a strangle hold on my bank account every once and a while so you gotta be prepared heh.

Like godzilla said, its still up in the air about anything new in the 1/48 line other than the annouced GBP. Figuring that they made just about every valk in the 1/60 line, it would only be likely that they would do the same for the 1/48 line, but as of now, theres 4 valks that i can think of off the top of my head still missing with no sign of them on the horizon.

VF-1D

VT-1

VE-1

VF-1A (Cannon Fodder/Brownie)

Here's hoping at least one or two of them are released eventually, but theres no guarantees. Even the Brownie which requires not really much more than a new paint job hasn't been hinted at, so its all speculation from here if well ever see any new 1/48's.

Hmm that version of fire convoy is super rare now, but 185 is nuts,

I wouldn't say it is super rare I just saw one recently for much less than that MISB too. Honestly unless it is the Limited Super Black Fire Convoy from RID I don't see the point in getting the Takara version when the Hasbro version is a)cheaper, b)just as good, and c)readily available.

Hmm not so much the toy, but the box. Most super fire convoys were released in the regular non-windowed box. The ones that were released in the G1 Style windowed box are much harder to come by even though its essentially the same toy as the other super fire convoy. And if you can find a black super fire convoy for that price thats a steal compared to how much they usually go for and how rare they are. I'd lay down 185 in a heartbeat for one heh

maybe a museum. I know the smithsonian air&space had a "super sweet" scale carrier on display. Friggin huge and friggin awsome, but not so much for the collector as it really needs to be seen by masses.

anything awsome? Thats just asking for problems. Anybody catch the [5 minutes with my breasts] ebay auction a while back

They did and still do as far as i know.

I had some pictures of it but i cant seem to find them now. It was detailed to the max. I forgot what carrier it was on top of that, it might have been the enterprise or it might have been the nimtz. It was about the same size as the one that the guy is selling in his auction but 250k is insane! Make mine a USS Flagg heh...

I thought 1/60 Hikaru VF-1A wasn't fast pack ready.

You are correct, sir. The only DYRL 1/60 that will accept FAST Packs is the 1S Strike you've got. I'm not counting the VE and VT because they can't take the Strike Cannons and Mini-Missile Launchers from the other valks.

I thought that the only ones that could not take FAST Packs without modifications were the VF-1A CF and the VF-1A Max?

Hmm i just tried putting the packs on 1A Hik and nothing, unless later releases changed that? Cuz they were going to come out with 1/60 fast packs up until a while back right?

Well, at least its still in the works... heh

Any idea how the 1/48 gbp is going to be packaged yet? Will it only come individually or are they also going to make a vf-1j set w/gbp like they did with 1/60 version?

it that the worlds smallest megatron he's holding?

looks sweet though.

how about a 1/48 patriot valk next?

Looks like the megatron gun that comes with MP prime. I'm 99 percent sure it is cuz that fits pretty well in the hands of a 1/48 in comparision to the size of prime.

FYI...

The seller said he accidentally put in his listing that he would waive the shipping fee with the use of "Buy it Now". Both he and I have amicable agreed to void the deal and no one gets a negative feedback.

So things worked out, though I still need a 1/48 VF-1A......

Accidentaly? Thats a lie and you caught him in it so he had to back out of the deal. if you read his orignal auction theres lines upon lines that clearly state he'll pick up the shipping if you use UPS.

as is:

"NOW FOR THE SHIPPING DETAILS. IF YOU USE THE "BUY IT NOW" OPTION, THE SHIPPING IS only FREE through UPS. BUT IF YOU JUST BID ON THE AUCTION, AND END UP WINNING THE AUCTION, THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE A FLAT FEE OF $15.00. I think that's a pretty good deal"

i mean i'd understand if there was a blurb or two about free shipping, but i really can't honestly believe this guy when he goes through the lengths he does to make it clear how this "free shipping" deal works. I think everyone else here has the right idea, good luck to everyone in future auctons.

hmmm, ive never dealt with them before, but if its vintage transformers you're looking for, you should check out:

i've ordered from him a couple of times and he's always been extremely reliable. 

good luck.

I which I could say the same about WJL. He filed a nonpaying bidder notice on me several months AFTER PAYING for the item and then was less than politely in correcting his mistake. What a loser.

Damn,

i'm sorry to hear that, ive dealt with him twice and i never ran into any problems, but i'm sure in the past he's been ripped off so his demaneor in such situations would probably come off harsh if he thought it was happening again. Anyways i hope you got the figures you were looking for in the end.

I'm not sure what you did to make the valk look weathered like that, but it really makes the valk stand out on its own. Nice job!

Bu....t gee.. a.. duh...wouldn't a 1/48 SDF-1 be the same size as a 1/48 VF-1...I dunno ?      

i'll give you a minute to think about that.

Heh, i think he meant and 1/1 scale VF-1

wow, thats a damn cool custom. i remember seeing the blue angels numerous times at a bunch of air shows when i was a kid. defintely something to see if you guys get the chance. now how about a thunderbirds custom? hehe...

other than that though great job.
