after getting tinged by overpaying for 6 vf-171's it's MSRP or below or none at all for me now. The Preorder madness really was not madness at all since It seems like I'm on night-shift and totally free to participate whenever the windows open up.

Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann
Duymon replied to Vi-RS's topic in Model kits
Sure looks nice when it's all locked together in fighter mode -
This is a high-stress area due to the rotation and the small surface area of plastic that was broken off. That is one nasty break. I assume that when you try to remove the screw it just spins the broken off plastic plug as well right? The hardest part of this repair is getting that little plastic extension off the screw without damaging it further. Just glue alone won't be a lasting repair. You'll need to reinforce it with something. Typically what I'd do is after getting the extension off is to glue it on with super glue and then figure out how to reinforce it. Dunno if there's enough clearance, but drilling at least 2 small holes through the extension and into the bottom plastic and gluing in two pins / paperclips cut to size would do the trick. However, I don't have my YF-29 on me to take apart so I don't know how much clearance there would be for that. (it's heavily dependent on the thickness of the plastic that was broken off.

I dunno what's going on with HLJ, but another one of the 25a's I cancelled manually came back from the dead O_o Guess I don't have to look anywhere else to get my 6 25 A's (3 hlj, 1 hobbysearch, 1 ny, 1 cd japan)
-
Which is really a shame because the 1/48's are awesome The 1/48 VF-1A has the most flush head in fighter mode of all the yammies
-
Either the 1/48 Low Viz 1 aint what it used to be or I got lucky O_O 197 shipped O_o http://www.ebay.com/itm/221248135393?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 If this is the new norm for Low VIz 1's I may go ahead and get multiples like I always wanted to O_O

Can you provide photos?
-
I would say go for it as it would most likely be your last chance to grab cheap Altos for a long time.
-
I am so excited for this. I loooove patlabor. Just wish I coulda gotten the 1/24 yammies *Edit* I saw the "updated Ingram design" *sad face*
-
Only if they released the tornadoes O_O
-
Of the 25A. Damn I thought it was the 25F which would have been funny lol
-
Except yamato had 3 different types of VF-1's, 2 different YF-19 / YF-21 and now they're on their 3rd iteration of the YF-19 Same thing

Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann
Duymon replied to Vi-RS's topic in Model kits
I get the feeling had they made it 1/48 scale they wouldn't have had to make so many compromises -
Yup it's 7/20 on the Tamashii web site for a while. Though Otacute will prolly get the much later as usual :0
-
It was actually around 45 minutes
-
HLJ didn't stop people from getting an RVF in 1st and 2nd preorder windows, nor did they stop the VF-171 orders either. There are some here who get multiple RVFs or CF-171's from HLJ actually.
-
HLJ IS CLOSED
-
Still up as of now http://www.hlj.com/p...t/BAN960616/Sci

Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann
Duymon replied to Vi-RS's topic in Model kits
I got this kit in hand. Guys, don't hate it until you got one in hand. This thing is a pretty complex kit and I'm sure it'll look great with a little love. If you give this kit as much love as you do a hasegawa, it will look pretty damn good and will transform. Honestly I could care less about the inaccurate panel lines on an imaginary plane. The nose and cockpit are more of an old-school pre-hasegawa nose that reminds me more of old-school macross if you get my drift. Just be happy we have Macross at all, and for only 4500 retai (3600 after hlj discount).
