    Hi-Metal R

    What in the hell are those things? Looks like some evil spore monsters from a B-movie.
  2. I wanted to reply to your thread but I don't have that option...anyway, looks like we had the same childhood cartoon-wise!  Your mention of Starblazers and G-Force (Battle of the Planets, I think the show was called in the US?) really took me back.  Welcome to the forum...some really nice folks here.

      Thanks for the welcome, ShinerTheBock! I've definitely got a huge nostalgia factor for all those old cartoons. And in my area, G-Force was titled as both that AND Battle of the Planets. Who knew about Science Ninja Team Gatchaman in the 70's? :lol: Looking forward to more good stuff (and Macross goodness!) on the Forums.

    I’d love some Strike Parts. Much better than those weird-looking “missile effect” things. Also would love to see a Super Stealth valk. That grey-on-grey color scheme just looks awesome. I have the Yamato 1/48 release and love it, other than the fact that it falls apart if I look at it wrong.

    Not me. Evidently I prefer to be late to the party and pay overinflated market prices for stuff. But who knows, maybe I'll try this "stay informed" approach and see how it works.

    Man, that's really awesome; nice job making that happen! I bought mine from a US-based Ebay seller, so I'm pretty sure it would be a waste of time for me to try this same approach.

    Dude that’s awesome. Do you work for a special FX company building miniatures for movies or something?

    Care to sell me a set?

    I hate to say it, but it’s seeming like a real longshot to trade for right calf armor pieces because most everyone has duplicate lefts. To me, Bandai should be held accountable. This is not cool.

    Thanks so much for offering! PM sent.

    Hi-Metal R

    Thanks for the idea! I may do a bit of research to see how cheap I can find them. As I understand it they were exclusive at the time to a particular retailer so I'm not holding out much hope. Maybe I should look at a VF-1S...but man, those aren't cheap...

    That sucks, I know how you feel. Right pieces seem to be at a premium these days! I don't suppose anyone has tried contacting Bandai directly about this have they? Seems like the longest of shots, but just curious.

    I don't guess they sell super/strike parts for the HMR Valks, huh? Any indications out there that they might? Edit: looks like you guys discussed this a while back...still wondering if anyone knows of something that might be happening in the future...

    Perfect! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Not sure how I missed this thread earlier.

    Hi folks, First time posting, but unfortunately it's to ask for help! I'm in the same boat as a couple of other folks in that I just received a new Hi-Metal R VF-1A Super, but it has 2 left leg connectors. Anyone stuck with 2 rights who'd like to swap? Feel free to PM me if so. Bummer because I love everything about it otherwise. Again, sorry this is my intro post!
