Is it me, or does Hikaru looks like he is a bit too forward in that cockpit? Also, i think Graham mentioned he looks a lil' bit too small. Not neat picking, just an observation. Also, i wish it had the battloid ejection seat optional parts. Anyway, my soul is prepared. May this be the best valk of all time?
-
Yes, the only remedy.

Good luck Rdrunner! Amiami here too, no news yet.

I do have to say, i was never a fan of the "neck" on the V2 Yammy/Arcadia 1/60. I do still think they are the best iterations of a valk to date. The question is, shall i sell my still new boxed 5 Yammies, and continue my 1/48 addiction, Or just keep them for historic reasons, lol. I still can't let go off my 1/48 Yammies, so might as well add more to the madness. I wonder if the "triangle" sticker on the 1/48 yammie, would fit on the new Dx series. Did anyone notice the little skull * bones [jolly roger] behind the cockpit is not there either?

Amptor, sorry to interrupt, but i think what they are trying to say is: Sharing is not the same as Bragging. nightmareB4macross, wow, i completely forgot about that thread!, brings back memories! On Topic, I have a sickness for the HiMetal- R VT-1, and there's only one remedy...
-
Merry Christmas to you all. Waiting on Amiami here too.

I still can't bring myself to buy the damrn missiles. It is like listening to a phone ring eternally, but you won't answer it... Nudes or not, plot & character development is what matters to me in any sort of movie. I tried watching Baywatch back then, and the plot could not engage me. Tip of the hat to the beautiful cast, but I was bored with plot. Plot? With that said, i think people exaggerate when it comes to nudity. Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror?

In a way, the TV 1D is like the movie VT-1 in DYRL. but you’re right, even in DYRL it is not fully tricked out.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

It is sad and scary we live in a world where bootlegs are becoming more desirable than the real thing. Maybe I should say improved bootlegs. A few years back i got Weijiang's MPP-10 Optimus Prime, and i have to say i love that thing. It is the only bootleg i've ever bought, but i am considering getting others in the future... -
What wallet? Mine was disintegrated with my last Valkyrie purchase...

I have always loved the Armored 1D [1/60 Yammie v1 pictured]

I do like the ratchety sounds, and the tampo printing. I don't mind the huge upper intakes either. The fighter mode looks super solid too. My only gripes are the feet extruding very far from the figther mode, and the massive head in the bottom. At least the arms are not hanging low. Does anyone here have the SD kitzconcept joke machines? If so, how are they holding up?

Actually, the Achilles heel of the original chunky monkeys was the shoulder hinges. My first ever chunky monkey I bought was already split in half at those shoulder hinges. It was the only thing i could get, so i bought it, and I still have it today. Also a friend gave me one that was missing the tail, and the shoulder hinges were also broken. I did get the 1/55 Bandai, re-releases. If you handle them with care they'll last an eternity. This last video, shows the "robotech" fighter properly transformed. I have to say, i'm tempted to pull the trigger on one of these. Maybe i'll wait for a review first. Also, i am guessing the Gerwalk mode is not its forte, since only one valk is on display, is in that mode. Are you guys getting these from Robotech.com , or from kitzconcept.com directly?
-
That was some brutal handling of a Valkyrie. It does sound ratchety. I hope it is durable at least. Agreed, the man in the video appears to be so unfamiliar with a Valkyrie.

This is jenius! dibs? if he doesn't come through?

just WOW!

Try $50 to $60 shipped for JUST the DX VF-1J missiles. -
I am gonna pass on missiles right now. I know it is a risk, but my brain is fighting my wallet right now.
-
This is what happens when you're in a hurry. I missed the word "Yammie" lol, sorry.
-
Quick pic, I hope this helps
-
Ha, thanks mechaniac, I hope testors will do the trick on my old Yammie. I wonder if Arcadia corrected this problem, I have one new in box, but i am too afraid to transform it now. I might sell it at a loss, who knows.
-
Yeah, I hope I can do something about it. Definitely not a thing I can sell now.

So I was able to get a DX YF-19 Excalibur from 505thAirborne, and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I haven't felt excited about a valk in ages, but man, I've always wanted a true and complete representation of the YF-19. So much was my excitement, I dusted off my old 1/60 Yammie V1 YF-19, and transformed it. As i was done transforming it, its left arm disintegrated on my hands, lol. I went from anger, to sadness, and back to normal like in 5 minutes... I need something strong and efficient to glue it back on... Or weather it to look battle damaged. I still don't know what to do. I imagine, this may have been an issue with Yamato's first release. I have never broken a valk, and i don't count this as my fault, but it sure is aggravating.

Wow, is this really a thing?
