treatment

I dunno if this neat feature is already known and posted before, but it's new to me.

Will Bandai complete the Vf-25 revival series and release Luca? Has anyone heard any news?

Depends on which Bandai hates less to complete...

• HMR Destroids (Tomahawk, Phalanx)
• HMR VF-1 DYRL
• DX VF-1 DYRL/TV
• DX VF-25 Revivals

😝

The terrible gaps, the bad proportions, the wrongness of the legs and shoulders...it might be the perfect Robotech toy!

also, must have backwards missiles...

🤣

i have two boxed (once i get back East Coast) if you want to buy a set. (i brought them off that old ebay user sabrina_skimpy when they were cheap, they came with the factory tissue paper boxed) 

jk, probably won't get to it till 2026. 

Maybe @Angesdad or @EzraNox will be interested in your set.

I'm ok with mine. I know the gray-part is in one of my baggie-parts, but I'm not that motivated to go searching for it. 

Besides, I'm really not that keen on the VF-0+Ghost combo look.  Nice in fighter-mode, but it looks just awful to me in gerwalk and battroid modes.

😅

Hey treatment, I think you're supposed to remove the white part on the top of the ghost when it's in booster mode. It doesn't really make sense though, wouldn't you want it to become a normal drone if you had to jettison it?

I know, but I'd misplaced the gray-cover replacement for the white-part a long long time ago...

😓

ok, next throw it out the window  /s

dunno why your misb Ghosts fall off, tho.

as such, I usually displayed it banking instead of upside-down...

turn it upside down, it will fall off.

Sooooo uhhhhh. Dont know if anyone done it before but. Im curious if anyone ever 3D print the Ghost Booster in 1/60 for the Arcadia VF 0?
 

Could be just a resized Ghost from the Bandai HMR combine with the armaments to be used on the Arcadia VF 0

The Yammie Ghost itself fits the Arcadia VF-0xx fine.

Only the ordnances (missile pods, fuel tank) don't, as the Arcadia mounting holes are slightly bigger and will not hold them without some fillers.

Yes I saw multiple AI bots crawling the site starting this last week, hammering the hell out of it.

I've got htaccess and robots blocking as many as I can, but they are just ignoring.

We have a LOT of data here these last 25 years, 1.6 million posts and hundreds of thousands of pictures.

If any AI really cares about Macross its a lot of stuff to digest!

You prolly need to try and implement various tarpits on the site to at least contain these AI crawlers. 

anybody here preordered the HMR VF-0S with Ghost last night from amzn-jp?

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0FKM5GR26

if so, did you get charged right away or not?

Just wondering since I've read some TFW2005-members got charged right away when preordering Takara TFs (MP, MPG, Missing Links, etc).

I haven't preordered from amzn-jp for a long time now.

so it does seem his pics were really included as attachments in my post when I went to edit mine:

link to my post with issue

Da heck?!

I dunno how that was even possible.

I'll leave my posting unaltered for now so you guys can try to figure out what/how it happened..

I'll remove the "attachments" from my post tomorrow.

so bizarre...

maybe a forum bug?

link to my post with issue

somehow, gundam@efsf's pics are showing up in my posted reply even though I did not quote them:

@Gundam@EFSF seem to have forgotten to post pics of it in Fighter and Gerwalk modes...

Since Toynami has been trying to build this thing since the early 2000s and kept getting denied, I strongly suspect the diecast will be diecast as it is on the takas.

Valkyrire mode? Lol.

As far as remember they never used the name Valkyrie in Robotech, at less in the TV series in the 80s. In general they were referd as Varitechs.

In Mexico we got Guardian (gerealk) and Bateloid (batrroid). For fighter mode I don't recall at the moment. 

 

also, "REMASTERED TOOLING".

dafuq does that actually mean???

oy vey.

oughta be a crime to abuse ChatGPT or any AI tools to produce PR like that...

Looks like the 1/55 is making another comeback.

Are this new molds or molded based on takatoku ones? They toynmi branded tho

Did they got hold of some discarded Joons to make these Toynami "versions"?

It'll be interesting if Bandai actually allowed them to even glanced at the master design-files of their and takatoku's original 1/55 moulds.
