  1. Really coming together now! Sweet!
  2. Nice job cat! SOMEONE needs to reward you with one!
  3. Luke’s X-wing May very well be fully intact and ready to fly , maybe with some sea fronds attached or kelp decorations.. but something designed to travel at FTL in the vaccume of space could sit there in the water for a LONG time and remain ready to go..

    This is the sliding cover on the back of the leg missing?
  6. Ooooh ya! Supa shweet! Seeing the first of these the other day clinched my need to keep my 1/48 VF-A/D conversion and finish it.. thank you @Lolicon!
  7. Bandai is definitely crushing it..
  8. It does look really good, I’ll give it that. But I’m keeping my 1/48 collection SMALL. Too many scales already!

    Line art accurate, super poseable , nice tampo, good transformation, very Collectable...Rare versions such as VF-2s, Regults, destroids, etc,etc. Oh ya, and looks and handles better than anything close to that scale.. And Bandai wants your money!
  10. Haha, @jenius said “maybe a toynami..” At least they’re cheap , poseable and playable without exploding apart in your hands. (I’m highlighting the high points here)
  11. Honestly, I wouldn’t get one, unless I was going to customize it and glue it in position. I hate to say it, but it’s truly not fun to handle or transform. The only one I kept is for my 6 year old! The v2’s rock ( definitely check out the above links) but they are not cheap.. (Cheap being a relative term..)
  12. The V1’s are quite dated. Floppy as all hell. I hope you’re getting it for CHEAP.

    Just got my VF-4 today. Thanks @Corrinald ! Sute enough, there’s a few minor blemishes. No big deal , but, I think avoidable.. Transformation was fun!

    Considering how many have just arrived, and more to come, and the defects or sloppy ness, it sounds like a production rush was happening. This is just our neck of the woods , let alone in Japan..

    It’s a call back to an 80’s garage kit Kawamori did the artwork for.. Courtesy of @Tochiro http://www.decultureshock.com/the-vf-4-and-the-curious-case-of-the-sdf-018/
  19. Very interesting. Thanks for that bit!
  20. One more thing that came to mind , concerning the Mauler RÖ-2A Twin abeam Cannon Pack.. ”The loadable gas capacity for the laser is limited to 8 times, and after exhausting the shots, the Valkyrie has no choice but to distance itself from the battlefield. Also, because the RÖ-2A cannot be aimed precisely, it cannot also be used for anti-aircraft uses.” I can recall once where Roy Fokker was using the Mauler in an anti aircraft capacity to give the beat down on the nousjadeul-ger that were in the process of capturing Hikaru, Minmay, etc. in the rings of Saturn. In fact it’s the first shot we see him take ( “hey Hikaru, making trouble again?”) and again he fires it several more times, effectively, during that scene. (He’s also firing his gun pod , as well) This must attest to his skill as he was maneuvering his VF-1S quickly and precisely enough to pull this off.
  21. From waaaay over here on the west coast, it seems like the YF-21 design isn’t so popular in the land of the rising sun..wah.
  22. That is quite beautiful.
