Agree the newer flightpose stands are a disappointment. Quality of workmanship and materials is way down compared to the earlier version.

Do the YF-21 FP fit a VF-22?

RIP Mr. Macek and condolences to his family. Without him I never would have discovered Macross. Thanks for bringing it across the pond in some form, sir.

I learn SO MUCH in this thread.

I'd be up for that.

For the love of all that's holy, is there going to be some sort of group buy for this? That paint job is DYNAMITE.

SWEET. Totally bought Release date is June? Awesome!

Amen on (A.) David. Amen.

I'm such a maroon. I was converting Vermillion squad to fighter mode tonight and I broke that little tab on the inside of the left hip/intake of my VF-1J. I don't think it does that much to hold the hip where it needs to be but it just ticks me off. My own fault of ham handed handling. BAH.

I got a YF-19 Double Nuts today. Love it for the most part, however one question. Is there any way the upper body will lock? Mine is completely loose and floppy. The tab that's supposed to 'lock' the nose does no such thing. Help?

NVM

I would buy a super white roy with TV markings. It would make him fit in better with the rest of the TV Valks.

Got my Tornado today, it's AWESOME looking, especially in fighter mode. Love it.

To be fair, it is a lot easier to do that when you only have to worry about one mode.

Is there anywhere I could buy this at 'retail' without paying a markup from a reseller and thereby only benefiting the secondary market?

Thepumaman is such a great, just awful movie. Mike and the bots just demolish it. I might have to pop that in the DVD player tonight as I go to bed.

Because of ridiculously good prices, I now have a VF-25F Tornado version (Ami Ami) and also a YF-21 Double Nuts (HKCollectibles) on the way. I mean, the Double Nuts for $HK 999? Child PLEASE!

Of that I have no doubt, but at that price and with 1/2 price shipping I was more than happy to fall for their ruse. ;-)

Sweet. Ami Ami restocked, hopefully have one on the way early next week. Cheap too! $131 before shipping...

That picture is...just so mind numbingly bad. I'm getting a headache just looking at it.

A VF-25 V2 with the improvements from the VF-27 would entice me to not only rebuy what I already have bought, but would likely entice me to buy the Luca and Michael that I have yet to buy. I'm a GERWALK mode freak, so that is one thing that really detracts from the VF-25 to me, especially because I think the Messiah has a really nice GERWALK mode.

It just stinks that it's probably 5 to 10 years away. Better to hope that Bandai goes back and fixes it, imo. Hopefully they hear the cries of fans.

More pictures, please...

Crap. Somehow Ami Ami is already listing this as "SOLD OUT" and not just "Backordered". That sucks.

That does look nice enough to buy. Didn't think I'd be saying that. Coupled with the previous 'mix and match' pics this may have to happen. It looks like they either had this in stock recently at Ami Ami for 12,450.
