That adapter is fighter mode only.

You should get an email when it ships. I have acrylic coming this week, and based on the orders waiting to go out, yours will probably go out this week as well.

Yep.

Gorgeous pics, man!

Really sorry to see that. It does look like they were overtightened as the breaks are all at the joints. I hope none of your figures broke. PM me and we can work out some replacements.

Pics of the broken hinge?

It's been awhile since I've picked up anything for myself, but these guys came in today. Definitely in for their Superion as well.

It was ¥35,000 from Mandarake, only damage I know of is a small chip in one of the black panels on the underside.

Considering how rare it is to even see a YF-21 for sale I jumped on it (at 3am when I got the alert email, lol).

 

[edit] I keep meaning to stop buying figures for a month and get some of your stands instead to use with them, but things like this keep tempting me.

Geez, that has really shot up. I got mine off of Jungle for ¥25,812 shipped a few years ago. I am hoping Arcadia comes out with YF-21 within a few years.

A CF scheme in more traditional fighter colors would be awesome. It has a very sleak and unique sillouette for Macross.

Sanity, do you mind saying how much that YF-21 went for?

Awesome!

That was a fun set to build. Did you get a good deal on it? It was a bit over priced on release.

That is a crazy steal of a price. I'd grab it in a heartbeat if I didn't already have my fill. Good luck with your sale!

Can you PM me your order number so I can look it up? If you ordered within the last couple of weeks your order should ship no later than Nov 8th which is when I have a restock of cut acrylic coming in.

I have not. I am a little gun shy on the power of the $2500-$5k laser cutters at the moment. I'd love to have one in house, but the 9mm acrylic of the YetiStand Alpha is an issue. I currently have a not unsubstantial failure rate using the laser vendor I have now. Sometimes it will cut the 9mm, but the exit of the cut is rather sloppy as the laser gets deflected through the acrylic. They have gotten better as time has gone on, but I still get a batch every now and than that isn't exceptable to sell.

I am still looking, though.

Shipping is usually pretty quick, but I have added a lead time of 2-4 weeks on orders that contain acrylic. This is stated on the acrylic items on the webstore. I used to just guess on what to order to have on hand from the laser cutter, and than be out of stock on items for up to a month. With the added lead time, I now order acrylic based on what orders are coming in plus a little extra. I have an order of cut acrylic coming in next Wednesday for recent orders. Sometimes I will have acrylic on hand without needing to wait for more, and sometimes I do actually sell out of items.

Hope that helps.

Arad's is hot, IMHO.

Send me an note when you order next. I don't mind adding holes to arms. Just let me know how many. If you order some like that, I would appreciate feed back on how they work out for your intent.

You could do that. I am not sure I would want to offer pegged arms, though. They wouldn't look very clean if the pegs weren't used.

I am a-ok on that front, buddy.

I would be sending you a 3d printed part.

That's a good idea, actually. I've got a drill press I can use to make one out of PVC for testing, and use one of the 90-degree adapters to stick it to the wall mount.

Cool. I'll send something I come up with in your next order. Let me know if it works out. If there is interest, I'll add it to the webstore.

Those are some beautiful displays. Also some precariously perched Lego sets. How exactly are those mounted?

Thanks ChaoticYeti, I'm thinking of using some of the 90degree adapters to get the ghosts flying in formation around Luca, but it's complex enough that I want to figure out the layout in CAD first.

Hmmm. What if I made a block adapter with a bunch of 5mm ports in it? You could attach it to the end of one of the arms, and than plug in the ghost stand arms into the block. Would that get the effect you are looking for?

XL arm is about 6" pivot to pivot, and the standard length is about 3" pivot to pivot. Here are some pics. I typically use both an XL arm, and a standard arm on the bottom pivot.

Other than the chest, head, and wing tips, are there any other mold changes?
