  1. Anybody been able to produce a replacement part for this? I hope the NUNS triangle of the Lucca version is made out of metal.
  2. Dammit last night i decided to transform my CF. The triangle I had fixed with glue, crumbled into tiny pieces. I cant fix it anymore. Lost some of the crumbs. Right leg broke at the joint above the knee(the joint where the leg twists when transforming from fighter mode) This damn thing was designed to blow up like in the anime. Someone please make spare parts for NUNS triangle
  3. Love the color scheme Looks like they inverted the green and white colors from the CF palette It will have to be a pass for me though. I just want to fix the nuns triangle on my CF.
  4. According to the Macross 30th game, the YF-30 is the latest and greates specs-wise. Highest speed, manuverability, firepower and armor. You could say, the stock YF-29 is like a fully decked VF-25 with tornado pack. (but slimmed down). They managed to incorporate features of the tornado\armor pack into the core design of the YF-29: Wing booster, VTOL capabilities, integrated missile pods, integrated forearm canons. They Improved the base engine, armor and Integrated fold crystals too(no need of a fold booster). The Fast pack of the YF-29 adds extra firepower and speed to the already impressive base stats, without affecting too much the aerodynamics in atmospheric environment. No need to jettison when entering atmosphere. The VF-27 is a more advanced fighter than the Vf-25. But not more advanced than the YF-29. A stock VF-27 was similar to a VF-25 with fast packs. An advantage of the VF-27 was the cybernetic connection between pilot\plane. Another advantage was the firepower of the beam canon, but mostly great against Vajra. If I had to pick one of the 3 to win a dogfight, I would choose the YF-29 with fastpacks and Isamu as pilot. Only thing better would be Max in a blue Chronos.
  5. The NUNS Triangle on my Cannon fodder exploded when trying to align the shoulder back to Fighter mode. I guess the stress was too much when trying to align the part back in place. I havent seen many complaints from the Alto version or from any reviews. Possibly different plastic material used. Hopefully someone will produce a spare part soon. Mine will stay in fighter mode until then.
  6. The parts seem to always break when transforming back to fighter mode. The shoulder hinge is tight and all metal. The nuns triangle is made of 3 pieces of brittle plastic, held together by a screw. When you try to fold the arms/shoulder back in place, the stress is too much and they explode. Just like in the anime! If bandai ever re-issues this valk, they should make the nuns triangle out of metal or a crazy hard plastic. If someone makes a good replacement part in shapeways, the vf-171 would sell pretty well. I really like this design. Looks badass all armored up.
  7. Looking forward to this. I check Shapeways once a week with the hopes someone posting the NUNS triangle part.
  8. Awesome work. NUNS triangle for vf-171 please! Mine exploded during second transformation. The stress between the triangle and the metal hinge of the arm was too much for the plastic. Specially when returning back to fighter mode. Vf-11 armor would be awesome. And a new heads for the vf-11 would be cool(resembling the vf-1s)
  9. 1)I really want a new release of the vf-11 1/60. I don't care which flavor. It could even be a jamming bird.(the one with the head that resembles the yf-19). A Roy or Ozma variant with head sculpt similar to their original valks. 2)Full Reactive armor for the vf-11b and the vf-0 in 1/60 3) Cheyenne batroid from Macross zero. 4) 1/60 Koenig. 5) fast packs and armor packs for the vf-1. Can't find any. 6)Macross Battle 7! 7) yf-21 with bigger feet. I still think the feet/leg area can be improved to match the anime.
  10. I really like the fighter mode. Not a fan of the missile pod. Wish it had been an optional part of a super pack instead. This one is going to be a pass for me.
  11. Macross 30 would be perfect as the next macross TV series. It has all the elements that make Macross great. It takes place 1 year after Frontier war. Leon Sakaki (Macross 30): The main character of Macross 30. A passionate test pilot with exceptional skill and a strong sense of justice. The story opens when he arrives at planet Ouroboros.(Emergency landing after being shot down by his former friend Rod. He does not know it was him) Aisha Blanchett (Macross 30): The first heroine of Macross 30, she is a Zentraedi prodigy who was given command of the SMS Ouroboros branch at a young age. She is very positive and has a bright personality, and is primarily focused on studying the ruins that litter Ouroboros' landscape. (She also develops the YF-30 Chronus for Leon so he can defeat Isamu in a race!) Mina Forte (Macross 30): The second heroine of Macross 30, she is a mysterious, amnesiac girl who was discovered sleeping in ancient ruins. The story will unravel as she recovers her memory. (Her song activates the technology found in the ruins) Mae Riron (Macross 30): The head of the Ouroboros Hunter Guild, she lives in Vrlitwhal City and is older than she looks. Aisha's best friend, she quickly befriends Leon and frequently aids the Ouroboros SMS with their investigation, sometimes helping personally in her custom YF-27 Ganesu Modora (Macross 30): A bandit leader who dreams of becoming the “Bandit King,” Ganesu has a crush on Aisha and believes she will reciprocate his feelings if he defeats her in battle. Rod Baltmar (Macross 30): Leon's rival Rod is a N.U.N.S. Pilot assigned to the special task force “Hamaval.” He has known Leon since they where children, but the two became estranged from one another after a certain incident.(a girl dies, who was also a pilot. Rod blames Leon of her death. Not sure if the girl was sister to Rod or a love interest. But her death triggers the hate) Ushio Todo (Macross 30): Commanding officer of the N.U.N.S. Special task force Hamaval, he seems to be conducting an independent investigation in the ruins of Ouroboros. (Hamval has its own agenda and later fights with SMS over the technology in the ruins) Great excuse to re-introduce new and old mechs from different series. (Great business for Bandai/Arcadia) Guild vs Mercs/Bandits vs SMS vs Hamval = Good variety of mechs used by each faction. Perfect setting for cameos of characters from different series.
  12. Got mine from HLJ. Out of the box, the base of one of the wings looked a bit stressed. Attaching the leg fast pack is a pain. Too bad they didn't use magnets. Have not transformed mine yet. Will wait for more reviews. The exploding parts of my CF-171 have made me a very patient man.
  13. Thanks Exo. I can finally access the forums from home.
  14. I am experiencing a similar problem. From internet at work and my cellphone(AT&T) I can access the forums. But from the DSL router at home(supplied by the only DSL provider in Puerto Rico) I keep getting the "Sorry you don't have permission for that" page from this forum. At home I am denied access from any device that connects to the router: laptop, ipad, desktop, PS4. If I connect my cellphone to the wireless network of the house, I am denied of access to the forums too. Makes no sense to me. I can access every site, play online, view streamed content. But this forum in particular does not allow me to enter, login or create a new account. Something about my ip must not sit well with the forum. Any link I click related to the forum, forwards me to the access denied page.
