    The Draken is more affordable now, however the Lil'Draken add ons are getting sparser (that's not counting the ones for the 31). I'm waiting for either the Elvis Ha or Mirage's/Cannon fodder Ba variants.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I'm actually in the same boat as @Matt Random although I did see Collection DX's review on the 31j first before I did the transformation on my copy of Mirage's 31c. It's that "U" assembly that got me totally spaced out as Chris (?) did mention it and I clued out when putting it back into valk mode, then I looked at the instructions after having trouble with it for two hours. As for the 171EX Alto, I watched multiple vids before doing the transformation on my copy as I did read and hear that it was super frustrating (good thing that I passed on the 262). Those arm joints are freaking super tight and only cracked one of the two guiding pins for the wing exchange however the canopy hinge broke off at the joint where it was connected at the pin. My fault as I put too much pressure on the cover and got a second copy at a discount as it was sunburned.. Don't matter to me as I will kit bash it with the first one and add weathering effects on it.

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    You know what could be the other issue? This.. The two "U" shaped bracket which makes the head to sit in its normal position is not pointed towards the back of head while in valk mode. Not knowing about this and having the upside down "U" pointing downwards can case gaps while in valk mode. Trust me.. It happened to me while I was doing the transformation from battriod to valk without looking at the instructions first. Was having a hard time to make two sides flush and it popped out of place.. Struggled with it for at least two hours and the looked at the pic, then I saw the error and no damages done to the valk, just small paint chippages present. Aye Crumba! That's what happens when you don't look at the instructions first.

    You got the four Turtles in Training, Mousers, Foot Solders and Metalhead; that's a good start right there. Usagi is not the best overall IMO, however a little paint on a few spots will make a difference. Get: Leatherhead (alligator) Maybe: Weedhead, Kirby the bat and the Psycho Looking Squirrel. The bottom three of Fishface, April and Dogpound are not that great. *Do not get Casey Jones, Baxter Stockman as that looks terrible as well! To bad that you're not in either in the States or Canada, otherwise you can pick and choose your own TMNT figures.. Good to see your spotlight on Maz's blog on TFsource. Here's the back of Usagi's Packaging. The ones from the first and second run of Playmates TMNT figures are a must get. Edit: Happy Canada Day to you (as you're from Edmonton originally).

    Got this yesterday from Wal-mart while doing a quick run of needed stuff. Last one on the shelf and also I'm a Stan Sakai fan! @tekering: You might want to keep your eye's open for this..

    Was flipping through the BBTS pre-order page and saw this.. This is one way to scare to crap out you in the dark! Note: It's not Mumm-ra or Eddie (from Iron Maiden) http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/76279 or http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/76281

    Nexx might be a possible purchase. Going to see further pics before dropping the funds since the leg armour for gun storage has gotten my interest.

    Another post.. Milia (Q-Rau) and Mirage (Supers and stock hand attachments sans missiles). Edit: Upload newer pic

    Interestingly enough.. I haven't seen this posted here. Thanks for the review @jenius!

    Just tell that to the folks that got another DX 31f for the Messer/Hayate figure combo.. Besides.. It's their money and they're inclined to do what ever they choose. That's a good idea and for those who wants another option for the same product. Not to derail the thread further as an example: I pre-ordered a 1/6th scale figure back in March and had to select two options - Regular or the Deluxe version of the Pop Toys Warrior Women Series: The Butterfly Helmet Warrior (either in Red or Black). I wanted the regular option, but got the deluxe version in Red as the extras made more displaying options for me. Not going to post pics of the said product, but I'm sure that you can find it.

    You want a Anakin to recreate the saber battle with Obi-wan from Episode 3? Then this might be your lucky day.. http://news.toyark.com/2018/06/22/hot-toys-revenge-of-the-sith-dark-side-anakin-skywalker-303293

    Well... If collectors have serious money to spend, then why not right? I got in into Macross collecting in November of last year and just focused on the ones that just want and catches my interest. Never bought a second copy of the same valk [except for another 171EX Alto as I really beat the crap out of the first copy and wanted a second one to put the armour parts on and put on display. Got it at a slightly discounted price at mid 14K yen as it was sunburnt (discoloured) and may add weathering detail to make it more unique and to kit bash it with my first version]. Everyone has their own reasons why they get multiple copies of the same valks..

    If that was an added bonus then I might re-consider..

    Looks like that I'm the only one doing the updates on 1/6th stuff?? For both Iron Man and Tron fans --> http://news.toyark.com/2018/06/25/iron-man-mark-iv-neon-tech-armor-hot-toys-summer-convention-exclusive-303453 Based on Megaprime33's post on the thread: $345 USD or more.. Ouch!

    Someone's wallet is crying in pain at the sight of this. http://news.toyark.com/2018/06/22/hot-toys-revenge-of-the-sith-dark-side-anakin-skywalker-303293 (Note: Not mine as I still have an pre-order of a 1/6th figure to pay off in a few months time if it does arrive into YVR). Forgot to add these as well. http://news.toyark.com/2018/06/21/pre-order-info-for-supreme-action-figure-t2-t-800-figure-303258 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/75660 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/75160

    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.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    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?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    borgified replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    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.
  24. borgified
    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.

    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.
