    I sure hope Bandai completes the baddies and Destroid sets. Ever since the initial release it gave me hope that one day all these sets would adorn a shelf in all their majesty on a shelf somewhere in my house.

    At first glance I thought you had this on the USS Flagg. Which carrier is this? How long and tall is it? Thanks in advance.

    Interesting. I would definitely like an upgrade on my 1/48. The HMR Glaug is rich with articulation and I can only imagine how much more can be done in DX form.

    Bot modes look great!

    Impressive! Those cassettes have really good looking alt modes.

    Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but the subject is just so fitting. Since the pandemic and stay-at-home practice we have had a lot of time on our hands. My daughter is headed off to boarding school in MA for the next four years starting mid next week and leaving her home in CA. She is very excited and before she left she asked if we could put the Rambler together and get it running. So my son 9, daughter 13, and myself embarked on getting this little six-banger back on the road. We accomplished our goal in just two months. We flushed the fuel system and replaced the tank, rebuilt replaced and installed the engine and transmission, and have gone through all the vital systems. The car runs great and is a lot fun to take out on the road. This gem has a lot of pep for it’s age, and is still rock solid. My daughter feels so accomplished now that she learned how to put together a car and get it back on the road. This classic has been stored for the past 16 years and now is finally as it should be. I restored the car about 27 years ago and the paint still holds up great! My son was so excited to go on the freeway and just loved the idea that he used his two hands to help with the reconstruction. To top it off, both my kids had never been driven in this car, they just love how roomy and simple it is. We are so fortunate to have great long lasting memory during these turbulent times. 2020 went to the crapper in many ways, but for us we just made the best of what we had. I am so proud of how much my kiddos were so headstrong and demonstrated their drive to get this job done. Love my kiddos and this car is back to being a live member of our family!

    Wing stripe pattern is different but this is the China KO you are looking for.

    I would just go with what you like best and tell your OCD to let it go and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    Yikes. That used to be member here years ago and used to have a good reputation. After he was banned he went sour and is still up to the same old shenanigans. Avoid this seller like cancer.

    I really wanted to buy into Kakyzaky and Roy, but goddam Bandai and their continuing practices to avoid any corrections. They blatantly don’t care. This line could have been my all-time favorite but I just can’t seem to get over all the inconsistencies present. To me it feels like your buying a Ferari and getting a Ferari. So close, but yet so farr. I’ll just keep my other DXs and drop my support until two seaters are released.

    That’s a beautiful car!! Reminds me of my brother’s real Mach1. Only my brothers had the Lou era on the rear window and Keystone wheels. When he bought the car a lot of extra parts were included including the Magnum 500 wheels and a separate honeycomb rear panel cover. That car was amazing and thank you JVMacross for res parking those memories.

    Until Arcadia releases the 1/60 Regult, there is always this as a stand in also at 1/60. The guy 3D prints and paints them. These come out of Buenos Aires.

    So if Bandai is making a TV “accurate” VF-1S Roy Focker... why are we stills getting DYRL articulated hands? It kind of defeats the purpose doesn’t it?
  18. nightmareB4macross
    I think “Special” refers to weapons packs like Strike parts and “Custom” and “Use” refer to designated Mecha.

    Well this showed up on my FB feed. The translation is hilarious!
  20. nightmareB4macross
    Holy...That looks amazing!! The newly integrated details make it look like a model. Glad to hear you’re back to work.

    Without a doubt it looks way better. I know the correct colors should be red but it just seemed right that the heat shields should be blacked out, as should be the background of the Jolly Roger emblem on the boosters. All VF-1S squadron leaders would stand out much better this way. Leave the color arch shield ad booster marking for the VF-1As.

    Apparently there seems to be an issue with Bandai QA scattered through out the VF productions. When I purchased my first VF-1D is was missing the large wing with the Macross Kite. After many attempts to get the missing wing the retailer just refunded my money as said for me to keep the toy. It sill bugs me that I don’t have the missing wing. If anyone out there has one to sell it I would greatly appreciate it.

    These figures are pure unadulterated fun. So much thought and engineering went into these and the figures tells it all.

    Here is an interesting bit for everyone. At the end of the Strike VF-1S/Elintseeker production run there was an uneven production run of VFs to Armour. More VFs were produced and were sold to various retailers through out the US accompanied with Matsushiro armor. From a story I was told involved Pony Go Round in San Francisco, CA. The owner was given a rare opportunity to buy stock in mismatched VFs with Jetfire Armor. These were sold at a steep discount to the retailer and then these ended up in the common market. So this is why you see VE-1 and VF-1S Valkyries with Jetfire Armor from Matsushiro. IIRC, this all took place in mid 1990s. The source was Ravishing Rick an old MW member on the boards. I actually have each of the two versions with Jetfire armor. It’s easy to tell when these are real and not a Frankenstein mash up but I won’t give away the tells. Hope this cleared up a bit of mystique from Valkyries of our past.

    Post a picture. Let’s see what we can do to figure out your mysterious parts.
