That Frontier shelf is totally rammed with valks! Doesn't it look clusterphobic as the entire SMS team (plus Grace) took over 2/3rds of the second shelf?
-
So Nexx is following after the Super O. Going to pass as I still like Silvie's valk and the colour. Reminds me of Gamlin's VF-17 as it also has a hidden hatch for the gun.

Can I hypothesize that Chuck's 31e will be released sometime of Q3 of next year since that Arad's 31s is to be released in the last week of July/first week of August? Edit: Maybe Q3 of next year. Q2 doesn't sound realistically speaking.

Good point(s) there @Shizuka the Cat. I wasn't really paying close attention to the Macross timeline when I posted these pics up; however as of the valks in collectable format, then this might be a possibility. This is my understanding based on what I gathered on this website on the Macross Mecha Manual: http://www.macross2.net/m3/m3.html The VF-4 will still be around while the VF-5000 would be on the drawing boards. The VF-11 didn't come into plans until 2028. http://www.macross2.net/m3/flashback2012/vf-4.htm http://macross2.net/m3/macrossplus/vf-5000b.htm http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossplus/vf-11b.htm Does this help? -
Just added the Supers on Mirage's 31c not too long ago. Adds more personality. Note: That is just the valk only sans the armaments.

Oooo… My turn to spin the wheel. Valks: Past (Arcadia Strike VF-1s with the Yamato V.2 valk stand) and Present (DX Delta 31c with Supers). Note that there are no pilots nor armaments.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
borgified replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Hmm... @Solo Wing Pixy: I wonder what's going to be your next valk purchase. As you well know from these multiple threads, you just can't have just one; therefore you're going to have to decide which valk is the next purchase (and to see if you have enough funds for it). The original VF-1 valks (and the variants) maybe your best next choice and work your way up. -

After a month and plus a day of waiting from start of exchange to finish, Mirage's 31c from Amiami (pre-owned and everything is there) has arrived via SAL. Time to put on the Supers (got it at the beginning of the month from Manda Sapporo). @Alex GS: I think that Klan Klang might be in scale with the DX VF-25 (especially Michael).
-
I read that SAL can take up to two months before you get the package at the doorstep (usually 5 weeks is the average). My copy of Mirage's 31c from Amiami via SAL is still sitting at the docks according to the updates since the last month (ordered it before Golden Week holidays). I ordered two items from Manda via SAL and it took two weeks from the post of exchange into YVR's postal outlet. Hopefully that Mirage's 31c arrives intact and not battered up (even EMS does have battered up boxes). It's not the senders fault of damaged boxes. but it's commonly how the postal people handle the package..
-
So now based on @UN Spacy's post, the Arcadia 35th Anniversary VF-1J is in production and hopefully that we can get some finalization on the SV-51 and the answer to the VF-1J with the GBP as well.
-
Based on what I've read about Hydrogen Peroxide to clean up discolored valks, has anyone tried using a 10% content (a la Acne Cleanser cream) and sunlight to their discolored valks (with various applications afterwards until it's in satisfactory condition)? I've seen this method used on plastic dolls and 1/6th stained figures as I have my Mezco Mirror Spock with a heavy stain on the hip area do to the dark coloured pants that it has.
-
From what can understand on @Darotower's post of the GBP, the one on the left is the first release of the stand alone GBP armour and the middle was the second re-issue with the missiles with the firing effect (like the 1/48 GBP set)? Can anyone verify that if possible.
-
Pleased that my post has gotten someone to finally decide to get the 31a after much serious thought. It's the second week of June and hopefully that all the orders of the 31a from NY gets shipped out then Arad's 31s release two months later (which is a mass release).
-
Do you still have the Yammie v.2 GBP? There was a listing of the Yammie V.2 with the GBP earlier this morning when I went on and someone has already gotten it. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1090163645&ref=doc

Pre-owned 31a on Amiami http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-037326-R&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Finc_txt2%3D7%24s_cate3%3D986%24s_originaltitle_id%3D12816%24s_st_condition_flg%3D1%24s_st_list_backorder_available%3D1%24s_st_list_newitem_available%3D1%24s_st_list_preorder_available%3D1%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D2 Sigh.. It's at 45Kyen. So it's either to wait for NY it ship to those did order it or say "Screw it with NY" and get this instead.. Pick your poison.
-
If this comes into play and the 1/60 VF-1J with the GBP get re-issued, I'm definitely jumping in it. This will also be in consideration as well. Ultimately the price is also another factor..

Just the talk of "V" reminded me of the first episode of "V" the final Battle on which it was aired on the T.V. back in '84. Watched the first hour of the first T.V. series only not the rest. Might watch the entire series plus movie sometime (got to find the links and I don't have Netflix account if it's on there). I'm sure that you can do a kit bash of an updated version of this.. I'm not an 1/6th expert (just a noobie) by any means as the outer head sculpt might have to be a silicone based to make as per the box art. For the actual Lizard-like head, maybe a spare Marvel Legends Lizard will do and a commission on the full suit. As for the body, maybe a COO model will do? -
Mirage's Supers are up for sale on Manda Complex. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1089765988&ref=1089784422

Don't have a copy, however I might be interested in getting one though.. I've watched a YouTube review on the GX-75 and there has been reports of the Fire Blaster breakage out of the box (I believe it's an isolated issue?) I had the original Mazinger toy when I was younger (Shogun Warriors) and ended up trashing it years later. Pic from Stinny's Toys History (I had the one in the right). Funny thing is that the toys that we grew up with during our younger years has come back to rekindle our interest.

Well... Technically Stryfe is Cable's clone (virus free).. For those who are Mazinkaiser fans (you know who you are), I'll Leave this here... Max Factory Gokin Mazinkaiser (2nd release), got it from a TFW2005 Board Member as he's clearing out his collection (missing the gloves form the manual). I believe that Charles still has his?
-
The 10K Yen for the Falcon is actually a re-issue of the one that was done years ago (not to mention that Chewie was noted have GPS on that one. As for this re-issue, who knows?). I'm sitting on the fence on this one as I want to add it as a display option for Mirage's 31c and her Supers together as I know that Mirage has the 262 Ba variant in the movie.
-
Keeping track and posting updates on this pre-order @Shizuka the Cat?
-
@Loop: I believe that all valks have it's quirks and problems (not just the 171 as an example). I think that someone will post the link for the new Lil' Draken Set pre-orders @ridgebacks . As to where, see @wmkjr's post above your recent one (no date determined as of yet).

Ouch!! @funkymonkeyjavajunky..
