AE has the 1A Max in stock at 24800 yen right now.

I was just on AE and was shocked to see this in stock. I jumped on it ;) haha without thinking but the site shows as in stock still. maybe not best price but seems better than crazy pre-order mark ups.

Deadline extended to 10/6.

What irks me with this campaign and seems kinda silly given they need backers? I am in the UK and could be tempted but I can't even back it from what I've seen since shipping is pureley North America only. So, I wonder if it would have been backed already if non North American fans could back it?

Gerwalk mode Prime! 

PSA  saw MPM-8 Jazz up for pre-order  on AE

@obakesan   very nice...  the lego Voltron looks pretty neat,

I just finished building my Mini-Pla Voltron...    probably the most poseable voltron I have ever seen,  and probably comes up to one of the knees on either of the above voltrons..  lol

That's pretty cool, I'm guessing based on box can make lions too. I'm always scared kits as I end up breaking then haha. Nice one 

Finally got around to building the Lego Ideas Voltron and snapped a quick pic with him next to the Bandai SOC Version, GX-71, he's a chunky brick of Lego and I love it  and he's heavy like the SOC too.

PSA - if anyone is after MPM-7 seems to be up for PO. 

ohhhh. could do with some launch arms. wonder if they would support a 1/48 or just 1/60 only.

Seeing things like that give me pause. I think the figure looks fantastic, and I was seriously considering getting it, but part of me wants to wait and see if, like with some other Masterpiece figures, a 3P will step-up and produce a more "massaged" version with sturdier joints and more durable paint apps. 

For what it's worth, great review here:

I was just watching that review last night and saw how the arm ratchet broke, ouch, mind he might have been bit rough  I skipped this figure as didn't appeal for me, not much a BW fan, but quite worrying for such an expensive MP. I did PO Megatron (to go with Primal and have the leaders) and this makes me a bit concerned now, I hope the Meg figure is ok.

It's like being tortured now, seeing all the amazing photos and missing out on that PO. Darn you Bandai!

That's the 1/48 Yamato 1J, but even then that 1S is tiny. 

Yep!, Yammie 1/48 and the 1S is a Kaiyodo Gashopon

What's the tiny VF-1S? Smallest transformable one I know of is still larger than that.

Or that's a Movic/Kaiyodo one, and that's a very large VF-1J.

The VF-1J is a Yamato 1/48, the last of my 1/48 collection

The VF-1S is part of a series of Kaiyodo Gashopon figures, had them ages now, some broke, will try dig them all up for a group shot

you can see some here http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=995

So came across a thread and photos about valks throwing valks and inspired to take this shot. 

Kun Kun 

Has this happened to anyone?

I have the VF-2SS Silvie version and was transforming it, carefully into plane from robot. One of the shoulder "caps" decided to pop off in two. I'ts not broken as such, just seemed the two pieces separated. I've put it back on and squeezed it together, but doesn't seem to be holding as it should. It's a bit loosish. Would it be safe to "glue" together or is that asking for more trouble.

Thanks

The Bond Aston Martin build was fun, I'm probably going to need that VW Bug and Van, plus maybe the Mini Cooper now. Voltron arrived! A day late, but I'll take it. Looks like a fun build, and I didn't pay attention but 2,321 pieces will keep me busy for a while.

 

nice one, got mine the other day too, plus added the Tron set  I've got the VW bug, it's a pretty cool set, solid.

I'm wondering, Hound's head connection, seems attached to his missile launcher, so guessing then this folds up somehow into the back of the jeep to position the missile launcher in jeep mode. 

found this back shot of Hound. Wondering if he has a visor for swimming gimmick?

some more Mp3 shots

grrr, it's kinda frustrating, surely more PO's would be better, why close it so soon, don't bandai want my money! haha Guess I'll have to wait for like VF-1S DX first release, or VF-1J GBP first release
