JKeats

I just got mine yesterday and slapped the armor on my Roy -1S. I have a few gripes and a few praises. Sorry if people have already mentioned these. Gripes: -The weight. The added weight of the armor with your valk makes it a pretty hefty toy. Normally, I wouldn't complain (and I'm not really complaining right now, just saying) but I'm afraid of the amount of stress this is putting on the valk's ankle joints. I don't want to end up with a valk that can barely stand up, like my old 1/60 Hikkie -1A. -The chest missile compartment. The bad thing about this is that if you take the compartment apart, you'll see that the doors are connected to the missile storage by a very tiny piece of plastic. So, if you're having trouble loading the missiles, and push a little too hard, the plastic will snap and your missle locker will no longer "pop" out when you open the door. -Loose wrists. The arm armor's thickness prevents the hands from properly gripping and posing the gunpod. But, the main problem here is that the wrist joints in the new hands are really loose so you end up with a buff-looking valk with limp wrists. The praises: -The amount of detail is amazing. I love how every single missile is detachable and I really like how they paid attention to what's underneath the armor as well. -The stickers. They're not great but they are a vast improvement over what Yamato has produced in the past. -The production of the toy itself. I never thought I'd see a 1/48 GBP but now it's here and Yamato really did pay a lot of attention to this toy. The quality of the plastic, the look and the overall fit and finish are all really well done. Sorry about the rant!

I think that's hideous.

Can't wait for pics!

I'm in Irvine, so I might go.

That's pretty sweet.

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up!

My dream toy was always the 1/48 GBP armor and now that it's out, I just want a perfect transformation VF-4.

Just ordered mine today. Between this and the re-issue Hikkie -1S, my valk dreams are coming true.

Seriously, nice car Wicked Ace. I've got car payments and credit card bills (these aren't too bad). Trying to get by on a young journalist's salary is almost impossible, lol.

Whoops forgot to add: I'm a journalist/writer.

That's an awesome story, lol.

No way ...take a closer look , it appears he has an Inner cock like a dog...so when he gets in heat his pink friend slides out ...i think thats very beast like..bravo Maybe it comes out when mystique shows herself 360434[/snapback] Oh man, that is just crass And what the hell is a macquette?

I'm with Graham and A1 on this. This movie was a waste of my time and money. Did I already reply in this thread months ago?

That's right, dammit, I knew I was saying that wrong. I'm all about the generic avatars. Over on AP I just picked the Bugs Bunny one. Generico, that is me.

Nice car and nice custom. Very clean. Do you mean to say that you gave the Alternator gold rims? Why?

I'm glad it didn't. It obviously had so many problems and after buying a 1/48, I've grown to dislike the 1/60 size.

You're probably right. That Chrysler that A7 posted reminds me of the 350Z...

I think that VW GX3 is...interesting. I hope I get to see one rolling around in the carpool lane here in California in the next few years.

Nice pics, A7.

You mean 28 Days. I almost skipped 28 Days Later first thinking it was a sequel to Bullock's film. 357749[/snapback] Whoops, thanks! I don't know why I like those movies, they're pretty not good.

I think I've already replied in this thread a long time ago but I just thought of a few more: -Mighty Ducks (all of them) -Whoever said Men at Work, I'm with them -29 Days and Two Weeks Notice (two Sandra Bullock movies). I don't know why. I'm sorry.

::Starts tossing buckets of holy water onto Graham::

You, sir. You... you are just awesome. You've just written what I could only scream. Add another vote for Easy Rider and this may be obvious but Titanic. I hate everything about that damn movie. Everything.

just do an MW search for "please bang anus" lol... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ndpost&p=314829 but don't do a Google image search, unless you want a doorknob pornucopia. 355529[/snapback] Good god, I forgot about that thread. Hilarity.

Hey thanks guys! Myk - the price was $22,550 OTD. I got a great deal
