  1. Well, I did grab one from *gulp* LP, and it arrived in immaculate condition.
  2. Looks like someone tried to clean them with acetone.
  3. $160 there. I wonder if that might drop after release.
  4. I suspect some of us might need oxygen if not just need to sit down to truly contemplate that one. Collecting those would probably would result in divorce for some, and involuntary commitment proceedings for others. I'm all in, of course.
  5. If its really a Yammie callback, it should have GBP armor.
  6. I remember when old BBC licensees like Dapol and Product Enterprise exhausted all the Dalek liveries that had been (up to that point), and just went crazy with odd colors, glitter, and then got graffiti artists to do paintjobs. Both moves were at the end of their licenses. I see CCP milking their molds for Godzilla (Hedorah even getting a graffiti version too), but like sofubi, there's more precedent of success in sales in that genre. Maybe now it will be with Macross too.
  7. Also forgot to say earlier: Despite those odd colors, KC does seem to have learned the visor color is better matched to the body color or being clear than being green.
  8. Speaking of yellowing, it would great if KC could get around any licensing issue by issuing a color that would turn the just right Kakizaki DYRL green if you just left it in the sun.
  9. Again, not to come to their defense, but I've only ever ordered once from LP, a DX VF-1D, and they sent it to me well-packed in a shipper box with the Bandai shipper wrapped in bubblewrap within. From what I read subsequently, that experience would seem to be the exception. Still, most of the LP hate I see seems to be references to their repute rather than firsthand accounts. I'd be interested to know how many here have had personal experiences that made them say one time with LP was enough.
  10. That's what's killing me seeing this lime green one when I was hoping for a Kakizaki green one. Again, I'd be down for that; even in metallic green.
  11. Where'd ya order from?
  12. https://anime-export.com/index.php?product=74629 That page is blank to me. This one is not: https://anime-export.com/index.php?product=74677
  13. Sometimes, I think you just post links to show you've bought the last one. 😉
  14. Are we thinking now that others that still have a PO up (LP, etc) will be able to fulfill them?
  15. Wow. I was waiting for this. I had better starting building up my caffeine intake to be up when the Ostritch PO goes live. Um, I may have you sorted... https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/16592-155s-revisited/?do=findComment&comment=1679060
  16. I'd be happy with a Kakizaki DYRL reissue first! That gives me hope of a DYRL Kakizaki. Even if an lottery/exclusive, I think I'd brave the proxy route for it.
  17. As an owner of some yellowed toys, I agree. It's not always unsightly short of not being screen-accurate. It's when yellowing is a sign of brittleness, that I am concerned.
  18. I like how you think! Again, give me a GREEN VF-1J (and/or metallic) and I'll bite. I just hope that's not off the table as it's a movie color.
  19. Thanks! So much missing though. The yellowing I could live with, but I doubt I can re-source the armor and fast pack. At least not cheaply. Thanks for pointing that out! I kinda agree regarding restoration. I'm just not sure I'm the one to do it yet.
  20. Yes, that is the remains of a gun grip in his hand.
  21. I recently obtained a VT-1 in awful shape; no pack, armor, gun, etc. and yellow as hell. I felt sorry for it, what with its stabilizer pack snapped off and on the side along with a few other shards of plastic formerly attached, and naively thought I might be able to spruce it up just a tad. Still, even in the shop I realized that was impossible. Pity had me walk out with it all the same. I bet they would have tossed it in the trash if I hadn't bought it. Oof, another piece snapped off after just retracting a fist. Oddly enough, the previous owner cut out and applied the descriptive SUPEROSTRITCH title of the decal sheet to a wing. That threw me off for a second as to why. Damn. Another shard just fell out of it while handling it. I fear it is not long for this world. Perhaps it is destined for die-cast organ donation...
  22. Valkyrie Factory really got under their skin. 😄
