    Left - Bandai 1/72 model kit Center - Bandai 1/48 DX toy Right - Yamato 1/60 toy (Arcadia and Yamato are the same mold)

    I hope this is only a rumor. GI Joe has always been one of my favorite toy lines.

    Amptor, There are threads if you really are interested in posting your Valkyrie count. Why not share it here and be done with it. Back in the days all members would gladly share their healthy collections and not gloat about what they owned. It was a fun way to share. Just note that a lot of these counts are quite old but a lot of these collections have built up considerably over the years.

    Well you could be right. But the way I see it. It really is a great way to get a fully tampoed VF-1 at a fraction of the cost. Also, the strike packs alone more than make up the cost for these. If you were to find a set of SSP new it would run at about 120ish. Then that means you get a really great deal on on a Premium Finish Valkyrie. Either way it is a win win if you buy this to supplement an original collection or just buy this for the purposes of filling the KO Kollection gaps.

    Looking good. Are you going to reference the anime for details or just gak it?
  6. nightmareB4macross
    Or maybe the molds for original head burned out and they had to make a new sculpt. Does any one have a PF VF-1S to compare to this Yamato type?
  7. nightmareB4macross
    Strike pack gows on very secure. The arms are pretty stiff at the shoulder and the secondary joint of the elbows. Other than that everything else is nice and solid.
  8. nightmareB4macross
    Here’s Battroid. Everything is still looking good. I’ll get the Strike Packs later on tonight. Going to a team function tonight.

    So I received my KO PF VF-1S DYRL Hikaru Ichijo w/SSP. I got lucky my copy came out great. The tampo is top notch and the color scheme only has one very tiny black paint mark behind the intake that I removed with my finger nail. This can easily pass for the original, which is scary. The biggest pro above the Arcadia version is that it has no pink overtones with exception to the metal swing bar and the landing gear. Everything is white, tight, and amazing. If you are looking for an alternative this is a great stand in. And now if you’re looking to add to your KO Kollection then I would highly recommend it. The price and quality are just right. Above all I am very happy with item Valkyrie Factory.

    I feel for you. The grey plastic on the V1 1/60 YF-19 is very similar to the VF-0 series from Yamato. Before you break out the glue give it a full once over. I keep seeing sales on eBay expressing the same issue with grey and beige parts being broken. It might just mean that time is up for these once great beauties. Hope you can repair it without too much trouble.
  11. nightmareB4macross
    That’s a pretty good deal! Are collecting these as well?
  12. nightmareB4macross
    These look amazing!
  13. nightmareB4macross
    With a VF-1 In such a large scale it would be a shame to lose out on such a wonderful opportunity to really detail this. Great job! Keep it up!

    Great review. When the sultry music leading to the bedroom scene came on my wife was like WTF but we just laughed. Thanks for the great laugh. Your review made me glad I bought the Hikaru versión DYRL Strike. Just remember that’s a Valkyrie you just reviewed and converts from Fighter to GERWALK to Battroid. Welcome to MW.
  15. nightmareB4macross
    Bandai should really consider selling the stand by itself. I would by at least two.
  16. nightmareB4macross
    Well it is what is...I truly despise your tactics Bandai, but I will still buy this set.
  17. nightmareB4macross
    New picture showing that this new VF-1S Hikaru is a Perfecr Finish versión. Picture found on eBay. Cost 160 shipped.
  18. nightmareB4macross
    These are some really nice displays. Is your Alto falling back a bit or did you pose it this way?
  19. nightmareB4macross
    Thanks again for the nice compliments. Hopefully next year you will be able to bring some of your fantastic HMR customs to Super Dimension Convention.
  20. nightmareB4macross
    I swear I almost fell back when I saw all the new Godzilla figures. They are simply amazing!
  21. nightmareB4macross
    Lucky for you JVM. My kids really like a lot of the Macross items we’ve collected over the years. They play with them on and off and love seeing the new stuff that comes in and they get to play with. I have thought of selling it all off, but my kids always ask to keep it for them. As a dad and Macross collector this warms my heart knowing they care for these things like I do.
  22. nightmareB4macross
    Were there any defects or issues found with the Hikaru 1S?
  23. nightmareB4macross
    Your statement is like looking in a mirror. My collecting has slowed down dramatically, because I feel at the point that my collecting will become my children’s burden. While they love playing with our collections I see a looming wave waiting to hit when they have to decide what to do with it all. They want to keep some stuff but for the most part I have instructed them to sell anything and everything if they ever wanted or needed to when it becomes theirs.
  24. nightmareB4macross
    The color should be fine.
  25. nightmareB4macross
    Thanks guys. I am m still customizing just not as fast or as much as before. The VF-1X X-Ray version is created from the poster found in the Gold Book. This is truly a labor of love and lots of work has gone into keeping the integrity and transformation. The picture attached shows the process to lay out the frame with blue painter’s tape. The cuts are done with a Dremel to bore through each panel and delicately cut by hand with a dull XActo knife. It takes forever but it looks really cool! Tha Glaug is a MLZ22 Kit, and so is the Regult. Both have amazing details and measure well in true scale with the 1/48s. I hope to share more in the coming months.
