  1. Very nice selections there! Especially the VF-1D. Good move on the 30th Anniv versions. Did you just get all 4 of those recently?
  2. At least the Kakizaki got made as a prototype, while we've seen no such evidence of a VF-1D, to my knowledge. While I don't think that the DX would cannibalize HMR per se, I wonder if the 1/48 launch has consumed a lot of development and marketing bandwidth lately.
  3. @no3Ljm, do you know if it's a full album or just a single?
  4. Looking at their site, there are photos of what look like all-gray prototypes and then this photo which looks like a finished painted version with several details:
  5. I've had the tight rear foot issue on a couple of my HMR VF-1s. I can't remember exactly which ones, but I think it's only been on a couple of my VF-1A CFs. I just lived with it,since it didn't seem to want to loosen beyond a certain point. I'll have to go back and look at it again. I haven't opened my either of my VT-1s yet. So @amptor, why do you like to buy so many of certain valks? I can definitely understand reasons for getting multiples (keep MISB, open for display, "just in case", etc) and of course for army-building (like with the CF) but 10 seems like a lot. Not judging, of course. Just curious.
  6. I just realized that they positioned each armor set below the valk it was intended for. Nice arrangement -- and marketing ploy!
  7. That 1/100 display stage is incredible! I'd love to get one, but there's absolutely no way I'd have the space for it.
  8. I like where you're going with that. Where did you get the pilot figure?
  9. Is that a custom TV Focker pilot I see in there? I had thought about doing one from a spare CF pilot at some point.
  10. Nice work there. With all those decals, it looks like the equivalent of a PF version. Are they waterslides? You could sit them around a tiny table using the Fext armor seats, though you'd also want a custom Roy...
  11. Thanks, guys. Just from keeping an eye on the usual sites like Mandarake, Jungle, Amazon JP. Some came from extra Hi-Metal VF-1S Roys. I'm fairly certain that @sh9000 has more than I do.
  12. Thanks for the compliments, everyone. Correct TV arm armor sculpts would be great, but at this point, I'm glad to just have the right colors.
  13. While I await my VT-1, I figured I'd post this: More shots from the same setup here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/35121-148fps-160fps-172-12k-13k1100-and-now-1144/?do=findComment&comment=1416386
  14. Finally getting around to posting some results of a little photo shoot I did several weeks ago. Can you tell I love super VF-1s?
  15. I am really enjoying reading your translation of the Frontier notes. Thank you for the efforts.
  16. Are you not interested in tracking down the original Hi Metal super parts? They seem to be a bit more readily available than they were a few months ago.
  17. Agreed, especially about Frontier. I haven't yet seen 7 (planning to start correcting that next week) and also haven't seen Delta, but like @Bolt, there's something I can appreciate about every Macross series I've seen. (Even Macross II... )
  18. Sounds like it's the same pair that a lot of us picked up. And @Slave IV, I think the blue accents of the 202 look great with the blue visor of the Messer.
  19. Where have you seen any evidence of a VF-1D? I'm aware of the Kakizaki VF-1A prototype, though that was a while ago.
  20. Yes, the HMR super parts fit just fine on the older Hi-Metal VF-1s. The mold is exactly the same. I currently have the blue HMR strike Roy parts on one of my original HM Roys. And I'm getting ready to put the HMR super Hikaru parts on my HM Hikaru 1A. (I think the original white looks better than the HMR gray.) The GBP will not fit since it requires a removable nosecone, which the originals don't have.
  21. Got my VT-1 shipping notice from NY.
  22. I'm noticing several people are putting the Fext armor on the VF-1S Messer. Is this because the white color goes well with the parts, or because that valk is more attractive with its paint scheme covered?
  23. The orange colors actually look really good in this shot. I'm also noticing that Bandai has included a true standard fighter mode stand adapter for the first time in HMR since the original GBP release.
