it's the round rubber ring where the legs are attached. lemme try and grab a pic here ya go

i've got the same nick on the visor of my 1J and the heatshield line was fully painted across, but i am having trouble transforming my 1S in battloid, other than that, my reissue 1S is great. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I transformed the 1J just fine... probably lack of sleep (I haven't slept in 2 days, this sinus infection/strep/and SUPER-FLU is killing me!!!!)

takatoys makes stickers only, anasazi makes stickers and decals. I've used stickers from both and swear by both of them (haven't tried decals because I'm real bad with decals)

this way, when you have the covers off in fighter/gerwalk mode, it'll look like the intakes moved up and in like in the anime.

i just take something and start shoving the rubber things back in when I see them coming out, I think there was a more permanent fix someone mentioned in the old forums, but I don't tranform them that often and each time I do, I just shove the rubber back in.

go here for pics, on page 3 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...f=4&t=972&st=40 also here http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...t=ST&f=4&t=3878

anyone else have this problem on their 1J? the visor has some pieces of it that are chipped off, I'll see if it shows up in a photo. ok. it doesn't show up, on the pic too well, but i circled the area that it is in. it is at the bottom of the visor, like when you take the micro missiles out, you have to clean/shave part of the sprue off, that's what the bottom of the visor looks like on mine but the chip is into the visor. guess i'll have to find some putty and fill it in. also, the heatshield panel line is not filled in on one side? what's up yamato? paint didn't dry? gotta find my marker and fill it in. also, the little rubber things in the legs are coming out like on the original 1/48s, oh well, easy fix on that. argh, other than those problems, a perfectly good toy! I haven't noticed anything wrong with my reissue 1S yet.

They probably will release the GBP depending on how well the 1/60's GBP sells. I'm buying at least 3 or 4 of the 1/60 GBPs!

is it ok once their limited run runs out, then it's out of production, right?

Merry Christmas everyone! Wish the rest of the family would hurry up and get here so we can open presents!!!!!

oh great! another $100 + shipping, geez, when is Yamato going to give our wallets a break! Argh! Guess I'll be preordering soon....

well, i've read the books and i still liked the movie for what it was. i got off work on the 17th at 6:30am, went to my buddy's house, we watched the extended versions of FOTR and TTT then went and picked up our wives from work and watched the 4pm showing. Very few people at the theatre. (most people were still at work, I guess). We all liked the movie, I was suprised I was awake for the whole thing. Got home at 8 and don't remember what happened next

i got rid of my original vf-1s, but the kite is the same on my new 1s and 1j. here's a pic of the reissue 1S wings

here's the strike 1J

just got me reissue 1s and 1j fp from valkexchange today, i'm going to throw some anasazi stickers on the 1s and some takatoys stickers on the 1j after the holidays.

hmmm??? paypal accounts. anything i sell, the $$$ stays in paypal. try to schedule shipments so she's not at home, send stuff to my job, etc. she usually just says, "Now, what did you buy?" and then walks away before I can answer. if i really want something, i'll just go work some overtime or a side job to get the cash. I try not to spend too much at any one time. usually no more than $150 or so per month (never you mind that I'm waiting anxiously right now for the FedEx man to show up with my Super VF-1J and reissue VF-1S from ValkyrieExchange.) I try to keep it within reason...

they are, i'll have to break them out of the box, I've only taken # 1 and 2 out of the boxes and put armors a and c on them. all the others are still in their boxes. i like them for the bookcase display

I usually have mine on display also, but a few times a week, I'll grab a couple and transform them and redisplay them in different modes. I still haven't figured out how to transform my YF-21FP yet. It's still in fighter mode sans FP right now....

Kevin's gonna have a restock of 1Ss I think later this month. Waiting for my Super 1J and reissue 1S from him now. less than 48 hours to go!!!!

got my book and model yesterday (I live in Ohio). This book is amazing! Thanks again Rob! Can't wait for March!

that's what I was gonna do! well, I was gonna put strike packs on the 1J

I think you do have to wait until it gets into the US. I know the post office usually doesn't put stuff in for a day or two, someone sent me something yesterday, it's not in the system yet, but it'll probably get here tomorrow when it gets in the system

29 and counting...hopefully stopping at 29 1/2.

wow, kinda an even split going, the wife and i watched this last week, we were going to see something she wanted, then i saw they were doing a sneak preview of this, mind you, i'm not a cruise fan, but from the previews, i thought it looked good. we both liked it. i had to do alot of historical background for her after the movie

well, whenever I get my set from Kevin, I'm doing to following, I'm popping Hikaru out of the 1J and sticking him and the TV FPs on Focker's 1S. Then I am taking the DYRL FPs and sticking them on the 1J. Got a set of Takatoys and Anasazi's stickers that will go on each.
