  1. The color kind of bummed me out, but how do you like it so far? Does it feel solid enough or it got that feeling something will snap out anytime soon? Does the missiles come out?

    Any changes we can get some jet pics next to a yammie 1/48? :)

    Everything looks solid to me during the transformation process, except that some parts are a bit hard to move or to get it snap out during the transformation process. Sometimes you feel that you gonna break it.

    It's a very tight package and when I transforms it back to the fighter mode some of the parts/joints does not fit back in properly. :unsure:

    Kudos to Shoji/Takara to be able to come out this, keeping the porportion of the aircraft & the robot mode intact. :D

    Will try to take some pics together with the 1/48 yammie when i get back home tonite.

  2. What's the metal content? Is it heavy?

    And what up with the color? It looks green to me.

    It's very light. When I carry the box it feels empty. I was quite shocked by the weight as compared with MP-04. The only metal parts are the struts of the landing gears/airbreak & the base frame, which accounts for less than 10% of the whole toy. Everything is plastic.

    The color is like bluish green...

    where can I find one of those cases?!?!?!?!?!?

    I have only one minty jf in a uncreased boxflap box and want to make sure that the flap stays uncreased. Anybody know where I can get one of these clear shells?

    The casing is actually provided by AFA, a toy grading company, which grade the condition of your toys and seal it up in their casing with a serial number & rating attached. Kind of an 'offical' certification of your toy which can boost the value of the toy. :blink:

    For a Yamato 1/48 VF-1A (value <USD200), it gonna cost USD55 to grade them excl. shipping. Add USD40 for a UV upgrade for the casing to prevent the yellowing of the toy. Thats gonna cost nearly 50% of the value of the toy! :ph34r:

    Found one Jetfire at ebay graded 85 (out of 100) going for USD1225 :ph34r:

  6. Looking at the pictures from the E-Bay, it looks like this toy is from my local stationary book store in Singapore. The price tag at the bottom right shows 'Popular' which is the name of the shop and it looks like it is going for S$10 (@US$6).

    Looks like the seller wants to make a 100% profit out of it :p
