@no3Ljm Thanks, I should be more proactive yesterday.  Oh, well. Hopefully I still get get one after release. It will not be as abundant as the green zaku, but I hope it will not be too bad.

Totally missed the boat on the PO for the Tri Stars.  

Anyone know if any site still up for PO?

Anyone manage to PO the ZAKU II HIGH MOBILITY TYPE metal composite? I am trying to get one but failed.

Don't know where else to look, will just wait for post release then.

This cost quite a big more than Bandai's full set. Any advantage that make this worthwhile? I can't really tell.

I like the marking better. Bandai's is too busy and some of the text have bigger than ideal font size.

My vote is for the regular. With @Lolicon's subtle paneling it looks great. The PF version have line that are too dark/sharp for my taste.

The few missing marking (not so many of them it seems) can be remedy quite easily when @Anasazi37 release his decal sheet for this.

That unit is likely a prototype, and may be completely painted.

I sincerely hope so. Keeping my finger crossed.

Poking around YT and saw this:

 

Seems like the beige is painted on. I see quite a few paint chipping. This could be a problem.

Come on guys. I thought at least this one would be an easy go. But ok, as it is one of my favorite VF-1 designs, somehow it will fit together 

The proportion is the best and the details on these kits are really nice. But the seams.... give me nightmare. I think Bandai kits (the newer ones) are much better about seams.

Very, very tough seams on that Battriod kit. The legs and chest are brutal. I'm working on one right now as well. 

I am almost done fixing the seams, some of it will not be 100%, I have to call it a day. I am still undecided about the chest seam. Found a bottle of valejo watere based putty. Might try to fill up the seam if I feel confident enough to not destroy the fine details around that area.

Several arrivals within the last days after a long time. Got my first Sheryl figure, although I have to build her myself.  

But that Unicorn is really really a big box!  I was shocked as I saw how many parts this thing has, don't know how long it will take me to build. And fconsidering it's only 1/100 scale whereas the VF-1S in the tiny box from Hasegawa is 1/72 it is even more scary. I think that are enough kits to build this year already 

Minmay guard!!

I am half way building mine. I am having trouble with some of the seams.

I come to the forum for getting in touch of what is happening in the space of Macross toy collection. I sometimes also need to search for old information that i have missed.

It might not be easy to achieve both goals with on single system/setup.

When will Bandai release an Angle bird version so we can display the fan racer properly with six of them.

That’s basically a Flightpose stand. I’m not really happy with those but they are the best we have without Yeti. The Arcadia launch atm is cool but it looks lame to me to have more than a couple Valks displayed on a launch arm. 

I don't own any Yeti stand yet. It does looks cool. I hope he will be back in business soon.

If you have the right tools to cut them, maybe getting some 1cm acrylic sheet and make a DIY version to tie you over until Yeti come back online.

Nice gerwalk post!  

I guess we are comrade in crime (supporting KO).

Did yours come with the transparent armor cover?

I love mine.

@Saburo I am "immune" to this attack.  as I already have both the TV roy and TV super parts. Phew, every time I saw your post, I am worry about my wallet.

Mine are still in the box, so thanks for the gorgeous photos. I really enjoy it.

The price is higher because the listing you are referring to is being fulfilled by Amazon...not sold by Amazon....

i see. Missed that. Thanks.

Not sure. Mines listed at 28200 but I don’t think that includes the tax they will tack on. 

I see, so they did jack up the price since the start of the listing. Amazon have good (for them) pricing AI.

Now it is listed as 32K, that include JP tax. After they remove that and add on the US tax, it will be about 31K I think. Their shipping price is still very good.

I hope someone here will review their copy soon. Mine will not arrive till March at least.

What was amazon.jp's price for the normal version when they first listed it? Did they jack the price up to 32K or was that the original price.

Haha, I am living up to my custom forum title.  

 

@Rogueload here are a few more pics to nudge. 

Me too, my desire for a 31A is reignited. I think you raised the demand for 31A for quite a bit.

In some old HK forum they can this: "spreading the poison".
