  1. Indeed I would like to see a DX VF-1J Hikaru re-release as well. Aren't they suppose to do it with GBP-1 armor included?
  2. sh9000, just curious. How many VF-1D trainers do you think you're going to buy? I think I might buy 4 or 5 if I find decent prices. I have just one on pre-order.
  3. After searching for one for 20-25+ years, I FINALLY got myself a VT-1 Superostrich (I used to think this was "Super Ostrich" but it is actually all one word! "Superostrich" pretty cool) and man oh man it was worth the wait. I still like this as much as I ever did. The local comic book store used to have one on display from time to time as well as Max and Mirya, and some Diaclone and Transformers toys. I got my diaclone ultra magnus reissue many years ago, though I still need to find a brand new in box one (mine was brand new but I unboxed it, should have left it alone). Anyway as far as this 1/55 goes, I just used some distilled water to clean off some kind of grease that was on some of the plastic as well as cleaned off the yellowed parts. It doesn't actually look as yellowed as it did in the photos. Maybe it is the lighting in here. At least it was one side was a bit yellowed and the other side is bone white. Same with one of the booster packs. All in all, I still love the 1/55 line. It is still my favorite. My second favorite now is the Chogokin and then the Hi-Metal R. Sorry about the Yamatos guys, those just don't hold the great appeal to me but I like Yamato as well in its own way. I have a set of 1/60 V1 Yamato also. Now it looks like I should buy GBP-1 armor. I just don't know if GBP-1 armor fits on the 2000 reissue valkyries or not. And I should save up for a VE-1 Elintseeker.
  4. Man, NY really has screwed up their reputation. Anyway, do you guys think Bandai will make the Super Ostrich and the Elint Seeker? I wish they had more announcements Also wish they didn't abruptly discontinue the HMR line
  5. I wonder when AE is going to want their shipping money for those TV super packs I ordered. Well I'll keep my eye on my email
  6. sh9000, I'm hunting that Raijin Express. Pretty neat car. I just bought a 1/55 Bandai VT-1 Superostrich. I've been looking for one for over 20 years.
  7. Hikaru VF-1A v1 1/60 Yamato.. at least I just only have one valk that has yellowed so i can't really complain a whole lot. Plus I shouldn't have ever taken it out of its box to begin with.
  8. yeah sunlight is more than likely what did it I also have a brand new one in the box in my closet. I hide all my yamato from sunlight any more. I don't have this issue with bandai.
  9. Cool thanks. actually I'm going to have to re-paint my Yamato 1/60 v1 VF-1A because they use crappy plastic and both wings yellowed completely in a non-smoking home.
  10. Nice thanks, so do you take a bare valk and then panel line, or do you clear coat it then panel line, and then clear coat over that? Also I'm new to this so my first panel line job isn't so great because of the molding lines on my first model kit but it is okayish. I have an easier time where the molding is sharp. Right now I'm waiting for more paint though. I really need a better source to buy tamiya paint from, my local train hobby store is taking forever to get my paint order in.
  11. that's beautiful. question though, I see you leave all the factory markings on there. but I've been wondering do you guys clear coat this before/after or do you just make the panel lines only? reason being, I just started doing panel lines on my first gundam model and have been thinking about doing a macross valkyrie toy too. Or if you have a guide I can look at, that would be cool. also yeah I'm waiting for my fast packs too. I ordered a couple sets. I'm going to put them on my TV Max and have another set spare.

    Hi-Metal R

    So, the TV Super Packs are still on for 4-30-2021 right? And the VF-1D trainer comes out July 31, 2021? I can't wait Just gotta be sure that I pay off the shipping on one of the sets. Hopefully there will be some deals on the valkyrie on ebay like last time around too.
  14. I just use a micro fiber cloth.
  15. All they do is flag your account and make you prove your identity and change your password then you are good to go. I've done it like 5-10 times last year. One time this year. Online purchases are hit or miss for me, for my hobbies.
  16. Just wait for the GBP-1S it should come with one. That's what I am doing. No need for that overpriced valk.
  17. So the consensus is the GBP-1 is confirmed right, that will be a real nice kit. I'll buy at least 2 of those. One to unbox, one to keep factory sealed.
  18. can't wait til these hit ebay in the sub-$300 range shipped like the VF-1S Focker did ;D haha
  19. I definitely would buy the GBP and say good riddance to wanting the first release.
  20. damn, I missed this. would've bought 6.
  21. look at the bright side, at least you don't have to deal with mykombini's BS.
  22. Thanks I bought just one here for now. Will wait til July for ebay and see if I can get any for under $300
  23. I now have 4 Roys. One to open but going to put hikaru away first
  24. Mine arrived just as nice, single boxed with no packaging material at all
  25. Just buy from ebay. 30k yen before shipping is too steep.
