I don't no...that shiny cyclone ride armor makes him look like a version of Marvel's Iron Man.

Sorry folks for the large photo but I am not technically savvy. Depicted on the photo (circled in red) is the plastic piece in question. I own two Mospeada Riders but reluctant to transform or pose them because of this issue. Some have commented that the connector point arrived to them with stress marks, new in packaging. The submitted photo is not my own but credited to Jenius who submitted it on this forum. -Regards

I echo MantisFists sentiment. I have ordered from GunDamit multiple times in the past with no issues. They have some great deals to be had under their "Flash Sales". Some may have an issue with their packaging. My items arrived with just plastic corner protectors. This has not been an issue for me since all packages arrived unharmed.

In regards to the Sentinel Mospeada 1/12 VR-052F Stick reissue. I hope they fix those week connection points that plagued their initial release. If Sentinel made the improvements, I would replace the one I own in a heart beat. Can anyone confirm?

That Cyclone Rider just looks overly designed and busy. Without his cyclone armor he looks like something out of Halo. I would be interested on what the price point and scale of these figures.

Heads Up, Genesis Climber Mospeada RIOBOT VR-038L is on sale at BBTs. Check under "One Day Sale." Maybe good opportunity to get one if you missed out? . -regards

I blame my farsightness for not finding the previous posts... Thanks no3Ljm for the information and great idea on account setup for notifications. Mog you have inspired me to do a repaint. I am totally going against the grain on this one and aim for a more contemporary look on the repaint. -Regards

I plan on repainting Sentinel's Bartley in the near future. Any ideas on how difficult it may be to break down the armor? Any one knows if paint will adhere to the plastic or do I need to prep it with some sanding and primer? I am hoping someone has already tried to customize one. In regards to the Genesis Breakers, has there been a published release date or established price point? I would hate to miss out on a preorder. -Thanks

Hello, I have read all the reviews and challenges to the Sentinel's 1:12 Mospeada Riders. I own two of them but have not taken them out of their packaging yet. Very disappointed about the manufacturer's QC as it relates to the plastic link/bracket that everyone complains about. Sounds like it cracks by just looking at it. I want to make sure I am not missing anything..but has there been any tested solutions to this issue? ...anyone fabricated a better bracket? ...3D replacement, anything? Read plenty of theories and potential solutions on this forum on how best to fix this but no comments on anyone following through with it. Thanks in advance...the Yellow looks great but I can't justify buying it if their are no fixes.. Oki

Greetings, I am planning on purchasing a set of the shoulder hinges for my VF-O. Are you aware of any further incidents of Shapeway making the wrong hinge? What is the Bicep armor for? Is it an improvement or a cosmetic upgrade? Thank you for you time. Regards, Oki

I picked up a 1/15 scale Mospeada Rider by Aoshima. I never heard of the company before. Are there any reviews or build tips for this kit? Thanks! Oki

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Hello, I just picked up a 1/10 Beagle Mospeada Rider, Stick while in Tokyo last week. Buyers remorse started to sink in after I made the purchase. I was trying to figure out how I was going to explain the $200.00 price tag to my wife? But after I took it out of the box...Man, I am glad I brought it! This thing is soooo sweet! Oki -
Greetings, I apologize in advance if this topic is posted under the wrong forum. I will be passing through Tokyo soon and wanted to purchase some Macross DVDs. Will the discs play in U.S. DVD players or computers? I believe they are formatted for the same region. Additionally, do most of the Macross series in Japan have English subtitles? Should I be looking out for a certain series while in Japan? Is there a certain title that can be found in Japan but difficult to obtain back stateside? Thanks in advance. OkinawaHai!

Aaaah Man, $300 for a Valk...say it ain't so. I have a planned trip to Tokyo and was going to stop by Mandarake but if their prices are comparable to EBay then I might just pass and check out the tourist sites instead. Kinzoku VF is correct, the prices you see on EBay are disheartening to say the least. Especially for a newbie like me. Oki

Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann
okinawaHAI! replied to Vi-RS's topic in Model kits
Greetings, I haven't build a model kit in over five years so I decided to give Bandai's Valkyrie a try. After seeing this kit at my local hobby shop, I was pretty stoked and wanted to rekindle my 80's youth and return to the hobby. I am not a Macross purist so the dimensions didn't bother me but after looking at the Hasegawas offerings, the head does look a tad big. Overall I was very pleased with the Valk's proportions. This kit was not a fun build and became a BEAR to put together. After years away from the hobby this was not the kit I should have started with. Since it didn't need any glue I thought I was golden! I must have fused up a storm when it came time to apply the decals. This was my first Bandai kit and after this build I believe this might be my last. I will try Hasegawa’s offerings next time. Again, I love the proportions of the kit and it looks freaking awesome in fighter mode but the build was torture! I don't even want to try and transform this from fighter to a mech. Parts were popping off just taking these photos. CaribMar

Greetings, I just aquired a 1/60 VF-1A, Massed Produced brown version from Yamato. The box has a yellow decal on it with the word TV. It also has a decal with the title Big West. I believe it was manufactured in the 80's. I am still a little confused about the different version of VFs that have been distributd over the years. How to determine if you have a version 1, 2 or 2.5?? …or what the difference even is? Why the extra stickers on the box etc. I am curious if this is a good buy? I tried to find reviews online but have only come across a white variant of the VF-1A. Iassume its the same thing but molded in white. Thank you in advance.

Greetings, I am new to the forum and was considering to purchase a Mospeada Rider. Based on the reviews I have read, I have narrowed my search to the 1/10 Riders distributed by Beagle and Toynami. They seem to offer the best Riders. I have read that Scott and Rand are exactly the same minus Head sculpt and color scheme. I did not realize how expensive the Macross toy line was until I started browsing the internet. What is a fair price for the Mospeada and is it worth the current market price? Thank you in advance. Oki
