I keep saying the same thing but I can't get over how good the Legioss looks! I can't wait to start swooshing mine!

Wow that is tiny compared to the VF-1.

Very nice TV SDF-1s being posted.  I still have a completely white one that is MIB with unused stickers and another one I use for display.  I still wish Bandai could get to reissuing it.

Yeah with detailed improvements like they did with 1/48 VF-1

^ That's what it was! Thanks for the info! (this may sound cheesy, but that Bandai logo always made me happy, when i spotted it in a toy, back then)(Like Jetfire, etc.)

You are lucky! I had to grow old, grow a beard, and then i was able to find one at a reasonable-ish price. It's radar array is hanging on one side, partly broken, but it reminds me of that episode when they go dark. I was going to fix it, but I never got to it. This is how i got it back then, and i am just grateful I have it at all.

I know this is a pretty simple toy, but it has the spirit of the Macross, and that's enough for me. Every once in a while i think about weathering it, but i have not made my mind up yet.   

Yeah those radar antenna and side antenna are not durable I forgotten how many times I had to glue it in place. Gorilla glue works better than crazy glue.

From Nippon-Yasan's Terms and Conditions Page:

You may get lucky if you choose to ignore this, but there have been reports on the forum of members who have received account bans just for asking. If you are looking for stores with easy to cancel pre-orders, I would recommend either HLJ or Amazon for future purchases. N-Y doesn't really have that kind of customer support.

 

I didn exactly cancel my pre-order for the Kairos just switch ed to the VF-31J Kai for the price I paid for the Kairos.

Well, not sure if it is the matchbox, but it says Bandai underneath. I bought it at a collectible store out of the box like 17 years ago. This poor thing has been with me for nearly two decades now.

and to go back on topic, a dark mood pic of some of my HMR

Matchbox licensed the SDF-1from Bandai, after they acquired the Takatoko molds. So yeah that is a Matchbox by way of Bandai SDF-1. I Still have mine for three decades.

Most definitely is.

Recently bit on a 21k-yen DX-1S from ami:

The FPs was at the regular 11k scalping price, but bit on it as well since can't have a nekkid Hikkie-1S.

Not biting on the current ludicrous scalped missiles-set. Maybe wait on some deals with the second release, if any.

That said, my OCD's getting triggered and annnoyed with the articulated head-lasers of this DX...

 

11k is that in Yen? And Ami Ami sold a used DX 1S?

Nice avatar of the ADF-01F. We need an Ace Combat Macross Edition.

Well Bandai's 1/48 is an upgraded version of Yamato's 1/48. They probably used (poached) the same engineer to create a upgraded mold for their toyline. Arcadia sure did missed an opportunity to upgrade the legendary 1/48 line.

Wow you really captured that pose.

I'm loathe to support Robotech and HG in anyway, no matter how small, but seeing Minmay Minmei, Hikaru Rick, and Misa Lisa is making me consider picking them up, since no Japanese maker wants to give us Macross figures. 

Thanks a lot, jerks!

That's because HG is blocking any Japanese company (Yamato/Arcadia, Bandai, Wave, Yellow Sub, Banpresto) from selling anything under the original Macross name to the west. That's why I don't support HG anymore nor watch my old Robotech VHS cause I know the truth. and that HG should've have just given up after lack of interest in their franchise.

Okay how'd you do that? That's cool.

Fighter mode pics of Arad in the Ultimate Armor pack.

Unlike Roy, he couldn't handle his liquor. Lol

Keith in that last panel was like, "ok I give up."

This armor shall be named "Beast armor"

LOL, is see where you going there.

It can stand on its own firmly in this one pose, its just getting all the parts in place so it balances nicely.

 

Wow I never even tried doing that too bad I already got it in fighter mode

26 minutes ago, Saburo said:

Wow the Armored VF-31S a beast!

Yes it is. Whoa it's able to stand with that much weight on it.

This was a pain getting this into Gerwalk mode with some of the armor on but got it done
