it says on the box, classic dish included

Ha, it is there, yep. Good thing i have the old one myself, and it is well weathered, and scarred according to the on-screen version.

Ha, we will see if i can order it. I still have to give you some money.

Yeah the Heroes of Endor Set is cool.

Yeah, and they make you buy an Ewok as part of it all... An ewok played by none other R2 himself Kenny Baker. Where do we pre order this?

Hondo! That's really cool, but i wonder how many will try to 3D print a round dish to replace the rectangular one.

We had to replicate 6 poses that the guy made without assistance.  This was the 6th pose that I made.

Wow, that is fantastic. I've never sen a 1/55 Q-Rau. Well done @sh9000!

Vlenhoff, I like your display with the dark all around and the light only on the VF-1S and the (I assume) Perfect Grade Gundam Wing Zero.  Question, when you were assembling the Perfect Grade, did/do you have an issue with the legs coming off the connection to the hip?  Also, you hands look so much prettier than my Perfect Grades do, did you do anything special.  Thanks!

Twich

Thanks @twich! I do like high contrast photography! I did use a white piece of paper off camera to reflect light to the underbelly of the 1S. Otherwise a lot of detail would be lost. This is a temporary place holder for the 1S, but I do love how it looks. I should have two 1/60 valks there instead. Yes, it is a nearly 20 year old 1/60 PG Wing Zero Custom. I recall one of the legs did slide off from the hip peg, but i slid it back in with no problems. The left outer "triceps" cover pops off easily. One of the big wings do slide easily if you try to do try to pose them. I only rarely pose my Gundams, so this thing has been posed like 3 times in 19 years. The hands are original, and they do look too slim, but I managed to pose in a way that looks as natural as possible. 

All in all, I didn't really finish it, and/or sanded the places where i clipped the parts. I may do a wash on it eventually. I do love it, but I think it could have been better than it is. This is my only PG, as it's flaws prevented me to venture in other PG versions. I am sure they have improved over the years. The other PG Gundam I would try is a newer RX-78 or RX-79 from the 8thMS series.

Sorry for hijacking the thread gents!

Hehe.  Zero points of articulation.  It would have been cool if it was like the old POTF figures and there was a Han Solo figure that clips to the back.

 

Ha, that's a good idea. Sorry about my lame joke xD

I'll try to gather some funds soon, and thanks for your patience @sh9000

Sorry @sh9000, but i found this new DX Hikkie 1S for 26,727 yen at amazon.jp.

i had to....

Total was 29,126 yen, and it made it here in only a few days. Roughly 272 bucks shipped, is not as bad as other places, and I could not miss this one. They used bubble wrap so the box was not in spectacular shape, but luckily the valk is intact. I did notice a tiny tilt to the left in the backpack, but it seems not to affect anything. These Dx have some heft to them.

I am going to have let go of some of my unicorns.

Soon in the Sale section: NEW Yammies 1/48 CF, new Fastpacks, and new GBP armors. I always wanted to build an army, but, I never got around freeing the army from its boxes.

I was weak. I came across this new DX 1S hikkie for 26,727 yen...

Ahsoka is available again.

Thanks! I got one in!

They were slow to update the pages but I just ordered all 4 when they were listed before 7 am.  Word is that these will also have a regular release and they are exclusive to Walmart first.

Sorry I accidentally posted one link incorrectly.

I was checking earlier too, but nothing would show up. It seems i didn't know how to search for the pre order. I just wanted Ahzoka, but if I don't get her it is ok. Thanks for the links anyway. 

I guess pre-orders are my arch enemy. 

Images where not showing, but no Ahzoka. she is prob sold out already.

Another Ahzoka and Jango?

Oh i am loving this Ahzoka. She seems a bit younger than the one in their latest pre-order. Where is this from? Please don't tell me this is an exclusive.

In the TV show I could swear there's two side joysticks on the sides of the dashboard that pilots could use for the arms.

Nah, he is right. There is a center stick for the TV verion, and two side controls for the DYRL version.

1 hour ago, RedComet said:

You can't really mix the DYRL and TV pilots, since the DYRL Cockpits have side controls "Gundam Style" but the TV cockpits have one center control stick, so pilots have totally different poses. It makes you wonder how they controlled both arms on TV, maybe the left arm just did its own thing automatically without human input? Still makes more sense than flying a jet/robot with a guitar...

Well, maybe a slide in cockpit?

At the end of the day, I know we'd all like to get one of each model. IMHO it would make it easier for people to buy their beloved valks if Bandai had more stock,  with more options, rather than less options, and too little stock. I believe more options in any product most times a good thing (that goes with video ganes too). It was just a thought, and i know it will never happen. 

I did appreciate the helmet-less Isamu in the DX  YF-19 though. That was a beautiful touch.

Don't forget a helmet-less Hikaru, with Misa in his lap wearing it.  

Yeah but Misa has to have 3 arms, as shown in the series. Two arms around Kikkie's neck, and the third one holding Hikkie's hand over the throttle.

What is a good price for TV Roy's FP? What was the original release price?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, every DX valk should come with an open and closed helmets, like the DX YF-19 did.

Much better, every yellow/black VF-1S should include 4 figures: Roy TV, Roy DYRL, Hikkie TV space, Hikkie TV open helmet.
