FRED THE FRENCH

My wife offered me this one!! Not the TV, the Rebel Blockade Runner.

I just made it yesterday. I bought two pieces of wood and made this...

My red Alpha left the U S last week, so I should receive it this week. The only QC problem I've had with the blue one is that one finger of the left hand broke when I first transformed it. I hope I won't have the same trouble with this one. I whish Yamato had made those..

Yeah... sure, no doubt about that... i do not know yet something tells me they wont change a thing from now until then Why do I feel the same??? Oh, sure, I remeber now, I've been fu...ed by Toynami ever. Scuse me, I had forgotten!!

And I continue on Alternators..

Mine is a VF1 S...

And waiting for the blue one...

My last ones Waiting for the red one.

You have a GREAT collections FTF. Are Yamato's very hard to come by in France? Where do you order most of your stuff from? Is there a large fan base in Europe? In France, you have two solutions : 1 : you buy valks in Paris and pay two or three times the price. 2 : You have the internet and buy on Ebay or HLJ. Even if costs for shipping in France are a bit expensive, it's less than if you buy in Paris. For example, the first 1/48 Yamato Vf 1 A was aviable in Paris for 370 € (about 400$) I bought mine on HLJ and paid about 200 € including the shipping cost. That's the same for all my japanes toys. About sideswipe, sure, I made a custom of this one. I thought it was better looking like this. About my YF 19 (a first edition, moreover) I bought it here in France on Ebay. and i "only" paid 150 € for it (about 180 bucks) And, yes, there is a large fan base in Europe, especially in France where , excuse me "Robotech" was on TV in the late 80's.
