Thanks for trying. Keep your eyes open and let me know if you ever see one. Was IHP even at the last Wonder Festival at all?

Yes... I've just got confirmation that atleast 8 of these have been sold at past wonder festival events. I think... read as I'm not so sure... but I think I once saw one of these on Yahoo Japan. I'm about 99% sure that if I had seen it I would have saved the picture and I now can't find the picture so I'm not so sure any more. Anyways... yes there are a *FEW* of these out there that are no longer in IHP's hands. I just have to find out how to get one in mine.

No!!!!!! Can we atleast ask Mr Sakuragawa to contact Seiichi if he ever gets the time? Failing that I know I passed up this kit atleast once now either on Yahoo Japan or eBay. Does anyone here have the kit? I guess I'm back to looking for it on Yahoo Japan. Noel... Have you sold one of these before? Was IHP at this years wonder festival? I'm guessing not as I didn't see them in the pics. If anyone ever sees one PLEASE let me know... Thanks, Carl

Yes... its a sererate part. I just went back and checked the pictures myself and its there. By the way... the kit itself is now on its way to Christopher, if its not already there. Take care of my baby as she's away from home. I trust you guys... just want to keep close tabs on her. Oh and very nice work Kaolian. Later guys, Carl

Sorry... I couldn't resist... both kits were sitting about 3 feet from me as I was reading your post. As for the other questions... (1) So what did that set you back? I'd have to look it up but I'd have to guess it was about $200 to $300 for the two kits (2) and im guessin that where ever you got it, no longer sells it? I got it direct from SHE though a contact that helped with the Japanese so yes I think that source is all dried up. I think HLJ had the VF-11 kit by itself for a while but I'm pretty sure they are long sold out. Just checked... They are sold out but it turns out they had both kits. These links will also come close to answering your first question... http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?SHE017 http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?SHE018 (3) Is this Carl that has all the models in the world ever from past to present? Not quite... but I'm the Carl of Carl's Corner. (4) R you thinking of making it? Eventually... if I ever get some free time. That might be 20 years away. (5) Or more a shelf display kinda thing ? Yes... right now its with all my other SHE kits. (6) I would like to know if they are still available. I reckon with a *lot * of patience, I could make it....maybe... The best place to look is Yahoo Japan. I'm sure it will be up there again. Good luck... Carl

Is this confirmation enough?

Yes...

Yes I have the version 1 also and all its info is already scanned and on-line here at Macross Word. Just go here: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models.../she_vf5000.htm By the way... if you have the version 2 kit you have this info also as what I just scanned here is a insert/update to the verion 1 directions that came with the version 2 kit. SHE didn't or atleast hadn't redone the whole direction booklet for the version 2 kit at the time I got mine. Regards, Carl

007-vf1... I got your PM and tried to reply but PM is telling me that it doesn't recognize your member name. Is this a bug or do I just not know what I'm doing? Anyways... email is ALWAYS good. Its cnh@ti.com. So here is your reply... I'm trying to get one myself and no I haven't been able to make direct contact with them yet. Still trying. Noel bought one from them at wonderfest last year and sold it on eBay. I got beat in the last few seconds by another member here at MacrossWorld. I was able however to get Noel to send me a photocopy of the directions. As for cost I can say without the fast packs its 23000 yen. That info I'm getting here: http://www.blackaces.per.sg/summer/summer21.html If I'm able to ever make contact I'll be sure to let you and everyone at MacrossWorld know. Maybe we could work a group deal. Just have to make contact first. Thanks for the interest... Carl

Thank you so much imode. I hope you are better with Japanese then http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr is. I just tried it on your translation and get: Tanslation * & * With ‚Õ ‚ë to ‚¡ - It built up very much well with the kit of the YF-21. You know that before the version which has the fast pack it was sold to short term with ƒƒ“ƒtƒFƒX 2002, but is version rise of the fast pack attaching when sold? The I of somewhere - with vent? The fan of the multitude with the Macross World has expected. Please reply very. From Carl Oh well I get more out of that then I do from what it does to that one post from Jasshy. It tells me he says: You write on the one ¤ beefsteak toe which stops putting together, It does not cry even with loneliness. You know... even if they do reply to me I think I'll need your help... Beefsteak toe!?... oh I'm not sure I want to know... Carl

I believe its a one person studio. Noel has meet them at a 2002 wonderfest, he might be able to better answer this question. Carl

and...

I believe Graham was the last person I saw to ask this question so this one's for you. To see these details on the ver.1 kit just go here: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models.../she_vf5000.htm

Yes... Contact D'Stance http://www.ak.wakwak.com/%7Ejasshy/ and (1) Let me know how they did it and (2) Have them help with a 1:48 YF-21 Yes... I know I'm too late but there'll always be a next time. Carl

And page two...

In the last thread about the D'Stance kit there were some questions about the transformation. I.e. where certain parts went in certain modes. I scanned these last weekend in the hopes that they would answer those questions. Again here is D'Stance's home page: http://www.ak.wakwak.com/%7Ejasshy/index.html I'm doing my best to try and contact them. See my post here: http://www.ak.wakwak.com/~jasshy/cgi-bin/prodbbs.cgi I know they are reading my emails as in my last email to them I pointed out this link was boken: http://www.ak.wakwak.com/%7Ejasshy/CG/21/y...1_fi_lim014.jpg And as you can see its now fixed. So if anyone has a suggestion on how to get a reply from them I'm ALL ears. And now on with the scans...
