I don't know you, but I officially hate you! JELLY!!! I have one out f the box, but it's waist joint is broken, still somehow transforms and holds together in 2 pieces though! But yeah be careful of that joint

god damn, so jealous! Passed up a virgin road for $130 and regretted it ever since

That's exactly how I saw both skullmilitia, couldn't have said it better myself. Then again I do like deep shows as well. And no I don't count gundam as deep... I count it as spewing BS trying to pretend to be intelligent. Kawamori doesn't go out of the way to explain it, he lets the viewer apply their own interpretation and each person see a different part of the depth that matters most to them.

yeah I totally want that new Jetfire haha. He looks pretty cool. I don't like many of the modern retail transformers, but he has far more of the old school charm

Kicker, you make me cry every time you post in this thread. Not just because of how beautiful that collection is, but because it isn't mine.

Yeah watched the series with my wife and she's a fan now. Got her own valks and everything. Though the downside is that I just got some Ichiban Kuji frontier figures (pics soon) and as soon as I opened them she shot-gunned the Grace Vf-27... should have got a pre-nup... Yep! we did the same. After the honeymoon in Japan, we came back with far too many macross toys. They have been boxed and waiting till me move into our new house which is almost built. Then when we have money to buy some cabinets so we can put it all up! So basically I'll have display pics in maybe 10 years...

Yeah. Better stand, same adapter. It is a little flimsy still so I agree I wouldn't use it for anything but a flat flight pose. I'd offer to post my adapter, but you know... Australia lol. I think the best option is to see if anyone can do a cast of the mounting slot and surrounding area with a material that has very small (if any) shrinkage. That way you can make a adapter that fits a little more snug. Even some precise measurements could work well enough for you to CAD it. I'm moving soon so mine is boxed up, but I'm sure someone could send you through some specs at least.

Saburo your pictures always look amazing! And I really really want those new dinobots now. that looks so good. Keep posting the new ones when they come out!

How did I miss that? I literally searched for b-club stuff the other day (on yahoo and mandarake)???? Thank you! ... now where do I get the money... Edit: so turns out I really need to learn to search Mandarake in katakana! B-club macross yields nothing and neither does feff or gigamesh but ギガメッシュ (gi ga me -shyu) go right there! no wonder I couldn't find it! I'm pretty ok with reading katakana too, so it would good practice!

When I went to Japan, Bariaburu Faita and Hebime took me and my wife shopping in den den town and Bariaburu even saved us when we missed the shipping depot (just closed!) and had to find a post office before we could catch our flight! Arms full of boxes we walked all around Osaka to find a post office that was open (it was 6:30 and we had to be at the airport at 9!). When we asked what we could do for him to repay his kindness, he said "just do the same if anyone from Macross World comes to the Gold Coast". And we will! If anyone is visiting Brisbane or the Gold Coast, hit me up and we can show you around!

Gold Coast And I'd alarm that too! There is a fortune in there!

OMG where did you get that Feff!!! I've been after that for years! That's my holy grail of resin! edit: (just read, got to excited and didn't actually read you post lol) that makes me cry, cause I just searched yahoo the other day. good score

Haha I though so too after seeing those test match boxes. I was already planning the heist, but Sydney's to far. So it's safe... for now...

Yeah wmkjr, similar. The resin I have is for jewelery and it gives a good smooth clear finish, should invisibly fill the gaps if there is a little slack. It does however get plastic meltingly hot haha. So it depends on how much the acrylic can take. I was hoping you'd maybe tried it before but that's fine, I can can get some to experiment on before using it on a stand. I read back over some of the pages I missed and people seem to be getting perfect results from plastic welding solvents. Maybe that's the best plan if they fit sung enough.

Hey ChaoticYeti, do you happen to have any update on whether or no you will be able to do the clear stand feet? It will be a while till I can afford them but I really hope that you will be able to find a manufacturer(/you) that can cut precisely enough. If not how would the acrylic handle the heat from a clear polyester resin? because that might be a solution for me as long as it can take a good amount of heat. Never tried it with acrylic before though. Edit: a couple of people seem to have some pics with the clear feet in (like above) and they seem to be holding fine, do some clear feet sit right do they?

Oh that's cool, that just got added to my list...

Thanks for the advice! I will keep and eye on it. How would I search? do I just use romaji representations or katakana?

After seeing the Sivil figure on the Macross world Facebook post today, my wife really wants one of these. Preferably un-built, but I would take a completed one if it was well built. It's her favourite character in Macross and I would love to get one of these for her birthday. I know they are going to be hard to find so I though my first port of call would be here to see if anyone has one they would be willing to sell. So rolling the dice and hoping for a miracle! Thanks guys!

This was bought a while back for an insanely good price, but it was for my birthday so I only just got to see it. It was mint and sealed so I debated long and hard whether or not to open it... opening it won! So behold, my very own VB-6 SP! And it... Is.. GLORIOUS! (sorry for so picture overload, but you know... this IS the "show off your awesome new toy" thread! haha)
