    Looks like I might have to use Rinkya although those links you posted above looked pretty pricey too. Yamato never did a strikedog huh? That's too bad. A little Yamato Ypsilon + Strikedog set would be cool. Good catch on my quote up there Darrin. At the time there were a billion new Macross and Mospeada toys, I couldn't keep up with those let alone get Votoms toys. These days it's a different story. I think I'm about to list a whole bunch of Macross and maybe even Mospeada toys for sale to make room for some new toy lines.

    Tigra is adopted from what I could tell... hence not in line for the crown. It'd be nice if we get some info on why the royal family adopted a son.

    Not really a space opera but if you haven't seen VOTOMs that's a good old school anime with space travel and mecha. "Space opera" is a tough genre.

    i'm still interested in buying a box, even if they're open, will send you a pm. Sadly I have no chinese connections.

    i'll check out that video when i'm back at home. I'm hoping to get a first edition dog to compare it to the later toys. Darrin, why do you recommend the one fyana over another? I thought the only difference was her outfit color? I might put votoms on anymoon someday but it wouldn't be until all my macross and robotech posts get updated... So maybe next year.

    While those are good ideas they only really work if the one toy I own happens to manifest the flaws that others are complaining about. Since I handle my toys infrequently and usually keep them in fighter mode I see a lot fewer problems than other people do. As such, I rely on word of mouth through sites like this one to give me the information so I can add a sentence or two on my website. I can't really add pictures or a Youtube video since its someone else's toy that has the problem.

    Thanks Darrin. I'm watching eBay so I'll probably put a lowball bid in. I've also asked a friend in Japan to help me find a Brutish Dog + Fyana figure. I recently purchased the following: 1) V1 Scopedog (but I'm afraid I have to return it because it doesn't have the gun) 2) Chirico Cuvie figure 3) Scopedog + Roundmover 4) Scopedog Weapon set 1 I'm now hoping to find: 1) V1 Scopedog 2) Brutishdog with Fyana 3) Roots of Ambition Scopedog OR Battle Udon Scopedog I'm also looking to make some DMZ purchases.

    Can the legs be removed by undoing the screws? I'm out of town so I can't look at mine right now. Do you think you can expose the ball and then use Saran wrap or a piece of clear tape to fix the joint without doing anything permanent?
  9. jenius
    I imagine mine is still tight because it spends its time in fighter mode. That's why I'm trying to figure out how difficult it is to fix the looseness issues.
  10. jenius
    Thanks TwoDucks. Is it possible to tighten up the screws again or are the ball joints becoming hopeless now?
  11. jenius
    Seems hypocritical to say 'I easily and accidentally broke the ankles on my toy.... But easily fixed it' and then point to another toy which might get loose but could easily be fixed and thump your chest and cry.
  12. jenius
    They were blacklisted recently as being non responsive. If you don't hear from them in a couple weeks and don't get your item be sure to let people know.
  13. jenius
    Yep, i was the only one who broke their 19, it wasn't something yamato's own employees did with some frequency and not a durability issue they themselves admitted needed to be corrected in the next variant. It was totally wrong of me to draw attention to it and your completely reasonable in your assessment. It's also good to hear that the people complaining about loose ankles have all admitted it was from mishandling. As to the 29, I've handled mine, it has been fine. If mine ever gets sloppy I'll be sure to document it and explain how to resolve it, if it can be easily rectified.
  14. jenius
    I would only consider reducing my score if it proves the joints are hard to snug back up. Usually i've been able to resolve such problems with little effort. If the 29 proves to need more substantial effort that'd be worth knocking it down a notch. Should I also be knocking down the vf19k because od the ankles? Both my 19 and 29 were solid last time I handled them. I should have them back out again when the 29's fast packs come out

    Ha, I'm going through exactly the same paces right now. Now that the Macross well is relatively dry I'm trying to go back and get some of the larger VOTOMS toys and finding myself asking the same questions. This might help you out, go to Yamato's website: http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/goods_list.php?gid=60&cid=115 That's the VOTOMs section. You can then scroll and check out the release order. The more recently it came out the more improvements it will have. Based on Yamato's page I have a question, was there a Brutish Dog release that came bundled with the Falyna figure? I apologize if I just murdered her name, it's been a while since i watched the show.

    Mac+ has its flaws but is overall very good. Much more coherent than MacrossZero and not as familiar to the Macross universe as Macross II.
  18. jenius
    I'd be all over a new Jokemachine but I don't think I'd purchase this. It would kind of fall into the keychain/tchochke no man's land for me.
  19. jenius
    What do you think of the XTS that's coming out next year? I've heard lots of comments both very pro and very con. For my part, I think it's a huge improvement from the current STS.
  20. jenius
    oh... that looks.... lame. The Space Helicopter in Southern Cross may never have had its rotors deployed in space... but that doesn't stop it from looking like a helicopter in space.

    Very interesting video review! Just goes to show you how much things that don't matter to some can completely ruin a toy for others. Who would have thought a little release agent would cause that sort of reaction? I hope he steers clear of Bandai's DX toys.

    Collection 4 boxes are 25x15x10CM. The ideal would be to get an unopened box but if you have to open all of them in search of your YF-19s I'm sure we could still work something out.
  23. jenius
    get lots of boxes, once you have your 19 sell me one of the other boxes!
  24. jenius
    I've been looking for a box of series 2 for the longest time... they seem hard to come by.
  25. jenius
    If anyone wants to sell me a Double Nuts or Bird of Prey at a reduced price (or trade for VF-22S toys) let me know. I'm not a huge fan of the toy but would like to revise my YF-19 post on anymoon.com and include at least one of those birds.
