That 1/100 VF-1D looks legit! If I were sitting on disposable income, I'd totally put in a bid.

I still have plans to build a 1/55 VF-1D of my own... I'd just like a VF-1D head that didn't look like it was designed by a third grader in TinkerCAD. I'm legitimately surprised there isn't a good STL file out there.

lololololololllllllll!!!!  Aint that the truth!

brought the kids to watch it this past weekend.  they enjoyed it, so that's all that matters...

still debating about getting the vf-19... i still don't own the 1/60 version....

@Darkwater  Can we add another chapter to this one?

If the most recent registrar of the Macross/Bionoids is Chicken Soup for the soul (16:07 in the video) in 2022....

 

 

Well they are now chapter 7 bankruptcy (changed from the original chapter 11), so who wants to go in with me and buy one title from them? LOL!
Come on everyone, lets do a GoFundMe and free this title once and for all for domestic release

I am so lucky with these recent DX purchases, seriously WTH.
Open the box and I have a broken tail fin.
At least I can officially confirm that its molded in ORANGE.
Bought from Mercari, so no one to help.

Guess we'll see how well super-glue works.

 

ouch!  at least with these VT-1s, the "broken parts upon arrival", aren't as bad as the YF-21s that just came out?  still, sorry to see your tail fin like that

Nice. Who did you order from? And I'm surprised you are buying into this scale?

I didn't look that closely before, this one must come from a really interesting future!  I want to know when the US will have 84 states!  

Wouldn't be wacky KO if things were proper and sound now, would it?   😆😆😆

my goodness, you are doing such awesome work!  from that first piece you did... wow.  The Max 1A super is superb also!

Got Bandaid.  

The arm vertical stabilizer is busted.

Packaging itself is undamaged and shipping was top notch.

I hope I can get a full replacement or an arm with said stabilizer.

holy smokes, damn man.  your head laser seems to be intact.... but that stabilizer......

Alrighty! Both bad news and good news. My second YF-21 from Amazon came today and the box was absolutely trashed. This was from an Amazon Marketplace seller, so I was expecting this, but still disappointing all the same (considering it was marked up). Regardless, as feared, the head laser did arrive bent.

The good news? I was pretty much able to completely repair it with just a hairdryer by blasting it with heat until it was soft enough to reshape and slowly bend back. I've used a hairdryer to reheat and repair other figures before, and I'm glad to say that it worked on this head laser as well. Not only did I manage to get it straightened out, but the heat also made the stress mark disappear completely.

So, if yours does come with a bent head laser, this is definitely something you can try (at your own risk)!

awesome job on the head laser repair!

anyone have a spare VF-19 Basara spare right arm?  ah, just throwing it out there lol....

To be fair, there are other offerings on the market. These two, for example. 

And then there was this thing, which may have been a one-off:

 

So I stand by what I said: The very best you can get! 

To be fair, the 2 on the top are 45.000 Chilean Pesos ($48.15 USD) each.  Shipping from Chile may be $100 USD or so... and these transform to all 3 modes.  They also come painted!

that "Hovertank" mode is pretty swell!!!

A Chinese/ USA party!

This thing is as wacky as it gets.  1/65 VF-17S Nightmare bootleg/ KO.  I really realllllyyy want to open this thing... I think I will......

one could simply take on the task of collecting every gray vf-1j variant in 1/55 scale, and it would be an amazing collection by just that alone!  there are many many variants for the gray 1J.
