The Yammie-block requires a male-type adaptor for connection, but the SV-51's a female-type. Iirc, the YF-21's have the same stand. Afaik, only the VF1-v2, VF0, and YF-19 have male-type adaptors.
-
Welp! Sorry, dude. the yammie-block don't seem to have any adaptor for my Nora. So unless somebody knows better about it, I'll just post a Nora/Hikaru comparo-pic for you (with bonus Roy vf-1 gerwalk-pics) : edit: i'll try to get my Roy-Zero out maybe tomorrow or the weekend. I believe the adaptor there will work on the yammie-block. or not.

I'll try to take and post a pic of the Nora-fighter (full-load) on the yammie-block tonite. I think I can pose her in horizontal fighter-mode, but that's about it. She's just way too long and too tall for the yammie-block in gerwalk and battroid modes. My YF-19's in storage and will only get taken out when I finally get the FP for it. My old "metal-legged" 1/60 and 1/72 valks are likewise in storage and i'm really not that motivated to break them out again. I'm not even sure the adaptors are even usable on 'em.

just messing around...

I got the yammie "mighty block" thingy. Other than fighter-mode, I haven't tried any of the other modes yet on it. They are a bit cheeky and need some minor balancing schemes. I reckon it'll need some minor modifications and/or tightening up for the more exotic poses. I haven't done any mods on it, yet. Still stock stuff since I'm a bit lazy. Anyways, it's ok enough for me and I'm still waiting for a good sale and exchange-rate on the Yammie Launch-Arms. Oh, here be me pics... edit: forgot to mention that I don't think it can handle any valk other than the VF-1 1/60 v2. I'm tempted to try my Nora on it, but the yammie-block is just way too small and way too short/low for it. edit2: added battroid-mode pics using yammie-block...

welp! stopped by target tonite after some burrito-run and whaddayaknow? they actually got new'er TF-stuff on their pegs than last monday. RTS-figs: (2) Tracks, (2) Perceptor, (6) Prime, and a bunch of Bumblebee-RTS. So, much as I really loathe the $11.99 pricing on a $7 fig, I bought the Tracks and Perceptor coz I just might not see them again. a big F-U to Hasbro's distro-tactics! I didn't like the look and stuff of the new Prime-RTS. So, anyway. Check your local Target again. Maybe they got better/newer stocks now. late edit: added some bot-pics of 'em. yeah. Perceptor's actually got some shiny...

well, just some shots of Blurr and his not-quite-so-straight rifle doing his best to imitate either a classic RX-79[G] pose or a Hikky-1S pose. damn rifle ain't straight most likely due to the way it was strung tightly in packaging. i'll straighten it out one of these days and prolly give it to my Cliffy-wfc.
-
fyi. as i'd mentioned in the tf-thread, there seems to be some N-Strike sale going on at Target. There were some at TRU, too. Most prominent is the Vulcan going for $29.99 at Target as a "temporary sale" thingy whatever. Dunno how long it's gonna last, tho.
-
Yeah, so as of tonite's retail-trip... Both nearest Target and Wally's have stocked up and filled up their TF-pegs with ROTFail figs. So if you're really dying to get your hands on Terradive/Tomahawk/Skids/Ravage/Elita-1/Jolt , well, there you go. TRU's even worst. Combino-crap and Ravages. They do have that huge Ultimate Bumblebee ($100). About the only thing good was that both Target and TRU has some decent sale on Nerf N-Strikes.
-
Great wonfest-pics, guys! Yammie's Fire Valk's actually pretty nice. Doubt I'll import it, tho, since I vastly prefer the Blazer version. and of course, the Nightmare 17. make it so, yamato!
-
oh, wow! almost missed this. lol! Rodimus Fail. again.
-
geezus, Hasbro. the Trailer's nice enough to be just as a frickin' trailer. it does not need to be a GIGANTIC FAIL like that damn stupid gimmick.
-
found and bought Blurr tonite at the local Target. even at $12 coz he's the only one on the peg. he was going for $15 at fry's last year. anyway, bunch of Bumblebee-RTS shelfwarming alongside Fallback. wait, Fall-who? Didn't he used to be an ROTF-fig? nothing much else. gonna be visiting the other nearest Target tomorrow for Kup.

...with skinny chicken-fingers!

tfw2005 has posted better pics of the dotm-Shocky: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/more-clear-images-of-dark-of-the-moon-shockwave-171347/

Yeah. Really gotta combed thoroughly thru all those Ravage and Elita-1 rotf-crap. Didn't find any at the local walgreens here, either. The local Target's been like Wally's: all ROTF crap and all priced at $12! The local TRU's even worse. They filled up their whole TF-aisle with the combino-crap stuff. Geezus...
-
Unless they've recently repackaged him, Blurr's a Generations. He's got the red-packaging ala WFC. The RTS packaging is drab-yellow/orange almost exactly like the ROTF packaging. That's how you can easily missed out on RTS figs like Jazz coz they're damn hidden among the ROTF-shelfwarmer crap.
-
hmmm. The bot-mode is not that bad. Doesn't have goat/grasshopper feet, at least. The alt-mode is...so meh.
-
Hikaru-1S, of course. Always. Really cannot have a "naked" Hikaru-1S. It'll be quite very wrong. The Roy-1S can do without the Strike-FPs, tho it does look better with 'em on. The 1A and the 1J really should not be paired with Strike-FPs, but if that floats your boat...
-
most of us here prolly already have the Minmay-collection was http://www.hlj.com/product/CMS65081 while some have this ( http://www.hlj.com/product/CMS65236 ) both have been long oop, however. this one ( http://www.hlj.com/product/CMS65031 ) is still available, tho it only has one Minmay DYRL-version figure.

As I'd posted earlier, the only thing I don't like with the Stampede was it's surprising lack of non-battery mode. Really don't know why Hasbro decided to gimped it that way since the Vulcan it is supposed to be supplanting has a non-battery mode. The Vulcan for me just have that immediate cool/fun-factor, whether tripod-mounted or sling-mounted. It just have a quirky presence. I reckon the jamming-issues people get with it just adds a more weird realistic charm to it.
-
It's also a damn heavy gun, so I'm not sure how much shipping will cost or any possible shipping-damage can be avoided. I'm not really that aware of any "specific method" or instruction-procedure with the vulcan. Maybe they'd added in some new instructional stuff to alleviate a bunch of early user-induced feed-errors that most likely will produce a jam. I reckon it'll be easy to figure out how to un-jam coz the vulcan itself is pretty simple. The only thing I can possibly suggest to you is to prolly disregard the ammo-box coz it was really quite obtrusive and adds alot of unnecessary reload-time if you have multiple belts, as it can only fit the default 1-belt.
-
I haven't had any jamming-issues or breakage with my old vulcan. I bought it when it first came out and it's still being used extensively by my nephews to this day. However, my 5yo nephew was not successful when he tried to use a different type of dart with the mag-belt, i.e. seemed like glow-darts just don't quite fire-out of the vulcan or even from the belt itself. fwiw, I bought it locally from wally's. i'm not so sure about the quality/reliability if you buy it online from amazon or hasbro-direct. it'll be quite a pita if you get a broken one via online.
-
pretty much. at least for the kids. get them in the yard or go to a park for it. along with the dogs, if you have 'em. the vulcan is still freakin' nice even just on display. 14yo and older, i rather suggest to go for the more-expensive airsoft route or, well, paintball route.

I gifted my youngest nephews with the Recon cs-6, the Longstrike, and the Stampede ecs last x'mas. They already had my old Vulcan-25 from a few years ago. The Recon was nice. I like the Longstrike better, but I wished it came with a bipod like the older Longshot. We just used the Stampede's bipod for it. The Stampede has nice extras and stuff, but quite a letdown coz there's no manual-mode at all. Prepare to stock up on six-D batts to use it.
