Same here. Just got my payment request from HLJ within the last hour. I also noticed that the VF-1J is already in discontinued status along with the VF-1A.
-
Same. Especially for HMR. I'm all for them expanding the line into other properties (Dougram) to hopefully keep the line going. But after the VF-1J Max next month they don't have any other regular Macross releases (Milia's an exclusive) scheduled. Hopefully we hear about something new soon.
-
Just one for me. Can't imagine myself displaying two VF-0's in armor at the same time.
-
That's a pretty awesome set of pics. Some of them really feel like you are on the tarmac. I really hope that Bandai and/or Arcadia decide to re-visit the low-vis scheme with their releases.
-
Sure. I'll have to look tonight to verify the size. I used a pin vise but all of the bits it comes with were too small so I ended up using the smallest bit that came in my standard drill bit set. Was the perfect size. Edit: It was a 1/16th bit.
-
Got my parts this past weekend. I had to drill the holes a little and sand the sides (as expected for printed parts) and they worked like a charm. Happy to have my VF-25's back in service.
-
Oh man, I'd do just about anything for that VF-0C.
-
OK, now I can't un-see that. I still think I like it better than the 17S which always reminded me of a cylon with a hat.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Ah, that explains why the Facebook link I found didn't work. Guess they are finding out the hard way that there's only so much intellectual theft a large company like Bandai will let you get away with. The strike is one of my top favorite Gundams so it would be hard to pass on one but if they aren't going to make any more in a matching scale it will make me think twice. I really liked the idea of a 1/72 scale as I already have plenty of PG and MG models and having something that fit in between, with MB quality and aesthetics, would have been perfect. -

Well, OK, maybe review wasn't quite the right word. I wasn't expecting a video or multi paragraph write up or anything. Perhaps 'in-depth and/or general opinion' would be better. Thanks for the video review link. It will definitely be helpful. And on a side note I'm surprised they are able to get away with using the actual Gundam name. Something like Gundoom or some such would have been more of what I would have expected. -

Very intrigued by this item. Would love to hear a more in depth review from you about it when you get a chance. Paint apps, joint tightness, build quality, that sort of thing. Do you own any Metal Builds that you would be able to use as a basis of comparison? -
You've sold me. Now you just need to pitch that line of thinking to Mr K and get them to make it.
-
Such a pretty pretty bird. I highly doubt that we will ever see it in toy form, but one can hope.
-
I just don't see why Arcadia doesn't capitalize on the easy money of making the CF VF-0A. They would have to do very little work to produce it. Sure, Shin's sat around for awhile but I think that had more to do with the leg issue than anything else. It seemed to me, that once word got around that they had fixed the issue, the VF-0S sold much more quickly. I'm sure that if they released the VF-0A with the leg issue fixed that it would sell fairly well. Especially if they timed the release to coincide with the same time frame as the RA. Add me to that list!
-
Love all the shades of blue. Hope to have a set up like this myself one of these days.
-
Oops. Forget I said anything then.
-
2 it is then. Ordered and on the way soon hopefully. Thank you both for the quick replies. Sucks that the shipping was more than the actual pieces but in the end paying less than $10 total to fix these will be more than worth it. It will be so nice to have these back in one piece.
-
YES!!! That's the one. Thank you. You da man. Guess I should have searched for Messiah or directly under your profile instead of VF-25. Quick question though Yeti ... I see that it is in beta. Should I just get one and try it out first or has it already been tested by others so I should be OK with getting two?
-
I'm hoping that someone here can help me out. I need to get a replacement part that has broken on 2 of my VF-25's. It is the piece that connects the leg/hips to the back. For the life of me I cant seem to figure out how to post a picture (can't use image hosting) to show the piece I am referring to so I put it as my profile picture. Hope you don't mind Jenius that I modified a picture from Anymoon. If anyone could help to get a 3D print made of this piece I would be very grateful. I tried looking on Shapeways but couldn't find anything. I was hoping that if it broke on two of mine that it would be a common enough of an issue that others may have already made it.

If it wasn't for the other high priced items I collect I would love to get these. Unfortunately my wallet does have a bottom and I would have to sacrifice too many other cool things. It is the best of times, it is the worst of times to be a toy collector. -
Just got my HLJ payment request.

Oh man, that is the second time today you got me envious of what you have. The VF-1D VR is my number one desired valk. Congrats on your acquisition. -
Anyone get any payment requests from HLJ yet for the VF-1A? That soon? I missed out on the pre-order and expected new pre-orders to open up like with all of he other HMR products but it never happened. I hope I don't miss out on this one.
-
Very nice. Like spanner said, it's great seeing them all together and in such a creative position. I'm quite envious of several of your pieces.
-
Let's not forget SHF MII. C'mon you know you want 'em.
