    yes it would be nice to finally see a YF/VF 24 Valkyrie if it does feature in Macross Delta! Can't see it happening though as I'd say they would probably want to introduce something new entirely and or expand on the current line of Valks already out. And this thread is so awesome! so much interesting stuff to read!

    Nice place! No chance I could afford to buy it.. Oh and there is also a Macross Avenue in Florida! awesome! with a couple of cutie pies slapped on the side!

    This is looking amazing! Nice progress shots and write up so far! Impressive work! Can't wait to see more!

    I guess the shuttle in 1/72 would be fine!

    so yeah saw this last night and I quite liked it! Wasn't fantastic but still enjoyable. Alicia Vikander sure made some nice eye candy!
  6. spanner
    they look crazy eh!

    hehe! just don't let them hear you talking about them or they'll break on you! that is a very good question but yeah some of the guys here with more experience will be able to answer that for you! Personally I don't play around with my Valk's enough or been back in the game long enough to know.

    cool idea but yeah you'd be pushing it to fit a Valkyrie inside.. Maybe a VF-1 in gerwalk!

    Essentially they are.. They are based on the F-16 and built in Japan by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. A joint venture between Lockheed Martin and MHI. Yeah they have some really jazzy paint jobs on some of their jets!

    it may have been but I can't see why Bandai would choose do that as any other factory would have to tool up with new molds etc which only would have cost Bandai more money than an already established factory. Unless the different factory was able to access the existing molds. Who knows.. Well anyways I was just comparing my CF to my son's Alto and apart from the color scheme and other minor detail differences, they appear to be pretty much identical. Maybe in an effort to reduce costs a cheaper material was used in the castings for the CF which was more brittle and prone to breakage perhaps? These are only guesses of course..

    hmmm yeah I do see the color resemblance!

    the vote is pretty close at the moment! Will be interesting to see where its at in a few days time and more people cast a vote! me im not touchin that button! im happy to call it even! they are both as good as each other!

    After Luca's 171 i'd say the CF is the next nicest variant! Im still umming and ahhing buying the RVF.. I might have a bit of spare cash left over our electricity bill which might have to be spent on one! maybe.. My son's Alto 171 is still a bit of a mess.. its literally crumbling away the more he touches it! We did replace the shoulder triangles on it too if you recall mickyg!

    I can't help but feel the same way to be honest!
  17. spanner
    hahaha!! well that certainly explains a lot then eh! That's it then.. im definitely NOT touching mine ever again!
  18. spanner
    great! thanks for that!

    They look quite menacing! What brand are they and if you don't mind me asking how much were they? My son is still interested in getting a Godzilla figure of some sorts..
  20. spanner
    so the CF must have just been a bad batch which they rectified for the other variants yes? My CF seems to be holding itself together well.. I put if back to fighter so I think that will be the last time I touch it!

    yeah the ankles on mine are pretty loose.. as was the right upper arm joints which I did manage to tighten up slightly to better support the weight of the gun pod.
  23. spanner
    yes and that. I was going to mention this aspect of it initially but forgot..
  24. spanner
    in a way im tempted as I have nearly 9k yen in CDJ rewards points which I need to burn before the eventually expire but not so sure I want another.. unless I sold it on for a profit but I really don't like doing that as re-selling something from Australia any profits usually get absorbed by shipping costs back to overseas.. fail. If only CDJ had something else interesting for sale I could buy instead..
  25. spanner
    ahhh yes and include the stair truck!
