Just got back from my vacation to the Philippines on April 15th & was lucky enough to come across 4 different valks which happen to be on the top of my never ending "WANTED" list. I have transformed all of them several times & have had no problems whatsoever with the exception of my favorite one, The 1/60 VF-1D v2. I was still on the islands when the damage occured. The shoulder hinge cracked & broke off when I attempted to transform the toy for the first time After realizing that I reversed the transformation process & just put it back in the box. I figured I'd deal with it later when I got back to the states. Is it just me or is the v2 VF-1D made with cheaper plastic? It seems a bit more delicate compared to the other two I bought. A good friend of mine recommended me to try using Loctite super glue for all plastics. He said it was strong enough to repair his turn signal on his motorcycle. I had my doubts but I was ready to try something & this seemed like the way to go. Unfortunately the repair didn't hold up (E)

It's been hella long since I've been on here but yeah, I just wanted to give my boy some well deserved props. >EXO< DU! All of this is so damn TIGHT! Fresh Products Mayyyn! Keep it up. I love it Ernesto

What's up Excillon! Great Link. This one takes it wayyyy back. I still got the roy bot version but not the hhh. However it's nothing close to mint condition. It's still great to have it though. Still displays really well. I remember always trying to find a supersized version of either variations of that card when they started making the XL versions of the garbage pail kids cards. I never did find one though. If it did come out before I'd still get one if I could ever find one. Anybody know if it was ever made? Ernesto

First time I've heard anything about this. I'd definitely keep that one sealed too. Who knows? It may be one of a kind. Good eye & congratulations on your rare find! Ernesto

Looks like a Knock off of the og bandai sd snap together kits.

Thanx for the advice! I really appreciate it. When I get a chance I'll go check with them and see what they have to say. BTW Your screen name being "Gobotfool" I was wondering if you have any extra gobot parts? If you do I'm Looking for a GB P2 powersuit if you've got one.

Still trying to find out more about this SD firevalk. Hoping somebody here on the boards might know. Ernesto [attachmentid=37653]

Thanx for clearing that up Chas! lol Ernesto

I feel ya mayyn. I couldn't agree more. Ernesto

Nice catch! I need to sharpen my proofreading skills. Ernesto

Mannn. I'd really like to see a well translated English version of DYRL. Something I've always wanted to see. Although I do like a bunch of the Gundam mecha and have bought a few related merchandise. I must admit I'm totally clueless & unfamiliar with gundam in general. Since they did release a Gundam F91 in the US I hope they do the same with DYRL [Crosses fingers] Thanx for that quick reply du! Ernesto

I can't remember where I find these images I save to my hard drive. I found this image after going through some of my saved pics. Does anyone know if this is an official promotional advertisement or is this just a fanmade image made using photoshop? If it is official I wonder if it's going to be a re release of the original or something new? Ernesto

Greetings, I came across this pic I saved on a backed up CDR with other data. I don't remember what site I found this pic. I wonder who manufactured this cool SD? Or was it a custom from scratch? Thanks in advance Ernesto

I totally agree with ya' >EXO< they're not all that. I never thought they were. To be honest I just grabbed the lot just for a Capt. G The CMS figs are my fav... Probably beacause I don't have any of em'

WOW! That was quick du! You got that to me wit' the SUPER-HURRY-UP-NESS!!! Thanks for the informative link and your time Totoro242!!! I really appreciate the help!! Ernesto

I thought I'd share some pics of these figures I came across while sorting through my collection. I bought these on ebay a few years ago for $12.00. All of the bottoms are marked 1985 H.G. USA Tatsunoko Horizon Made in USA. I was just wondering if maybe somebody here on the MW boards knew anything about these. I thought maybe these were intended to be used for an RPG game maybe? Does anybody know if they made some of the other charachters? Any feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks everybody Ernesto

Those shots came out proper! Your attention to detail really shine on all of your pics. Nicely Done. What kind of camera did you use if you don't mind me asking? Ernesto

Proper! Put me down for one please. Thank You

I prefer that gunpod & grey/silver set of fastpacks compared to the previous blue ones I'm so used to seeing everywhere. I gotta admit I don't like the way it comes painted and sealed with the unecessary stickers which are poorly applied and is just crap anyways. Butt ugly jumbo sized packaging that just takes up way too much space than it should if one chooses to keep theirs sealed. So many cons over pros here and the funny thing is if I seen those somewhere for $5-10 ea. I'd probably grab a few to take home even though I thought it was a janky ko/ rendition of the VF-1S. That's just sick ain't it?! That's how I know I'm a Macross fool!!!!!!!!!! Ain't that a b!t<#!!! LOL

Hey 007-vf1, One the great things I like about the Paasche airbrushes, is that you can get just about any spare part for them from paasche airbrush. I got my grandfather's old H type working again with a few spare parts, so I'm sure you can get the replacement part you need. Odyn Hey Odyn!!!! Thanx for putting that link to about the Paasche airbrushes. I've been looking on ebay with no luck finding all of the missing parts for my airbrush. I disassembled it for cleaning a while back and found myself hardly ever having time for my hobby. By the time I did get a chance I've already moved and lost some of the vital parts needed for the airbrush to work. My dumbass didn't even think about going through their website to order the parts directly. Being the kind, honest & generous person you are by sharing information amongst others. If it weren't for your post I'd be out buying another airbrush and wasting my money. Thanx dude, 4 REALS

ANOTHER MUST HAVE! The early sculpts look pretty good. I gotta agree with Graham about the fake soulder covers. Again thanx for keeping me up to date. Graham you da' man!
