    Can't recall... my account was lost/deleted (created maybe 2000?) during the overhaul and had to recreate.

    It was actually listed on Toynami's website because there was a whole debacle about their shipment not clearing customs in time for SDCC. That' peeved many who attended SDCC in hopes of obtaining one.

    The eBay listing is live: https://www.ebay.com/itm/167683570826 (At a higher price to offset eBay fees) Etsy sometime soon. Prices will be in the same range. I have also posted a thread in the for Sale & Trade section (will link, pending approval). Although it has been a while since I've sold here on the forums I should still be on the straight-shooters list.

    Just an update. I was pretty busy, sorting, packing the sets. I also have updated pics of the 'reaching hands' which will also be part of the set of hands. Sets are kits that require assembly/gluing/building, top-coating/painting. A set of hobby grade tools are recommended but not needed: hobby side cutters, hobby knife, sanding sticks, super glue, gloss coat of preference, alcohol/water, enamel or lacquer based paints, paint brush, pointed q-tips, hobby markers, etc. Household tools items such as: nail clippers, small side cutters, super-glue, utility knife, emery board, clear-nail polish Sharpie/alcohol based marker, iso-propanol alcohol would suffice as well. Sample pics of the parts/what a set consists of. 1x VF22S Head [0603 SMD LED or smaller compatible, not included]: 1x green visor with 2x green sensors (option to mix and match with red) 1x red visor with 2x red sensors (option to mix and match with green) 1x lower front (grey), 1x 2.95 visor (grey), 1x visor (grey), 1x lower back (blue), 1x top (blue) 1x pair VF22S Canopies (two frames: one tinted window set, one heat shield set) 1x pair of YVF22S Canopies (two frames: one tinted windowed, one heat shield) 1x pair of VF22S Bay Doors (left and right), [0603 SMD LED or smaller compatible, not included]: 1x pair of each: beam cannons (left and right), and port covers (left and right) 1x AAL Antenna (regular) and 1x XL AAL Antenna (MAX custom) Four pairs of hands with pivoting sockets, these require 1mm pins (paperclips suffice): 1x pair of Saluting hands 1x pair of Macross flight hands 1x pair of Reaching hands 1x pair of Grasping hands BONUS: one VF22S Canopy frame, one YVF22S Canopy frame with clear windows Originally I was planning on making it an option if a buyer to decide between tinted windows or clear windows, but I'm leaning towards tinted windows only. This hasn't been set in stone. Also the first 24 sets I will be including a set of bonus canopies (as mentioned above), with clear windows and frames (one of each the VF22S and Concept Canopy). NOTE: most of the Bonus frames are post-tinted a shade deeper than the YF-21 blue, barely noticeable. The green/red visors and the bay door beam cannon attachments are SMD 0603 LED or smaller compatible (LEDs not included, sorry I couldn't work out the logistics at the moment to source, test, etc.) I did my utmost best to color match the parts to the Bandai DX YF-21's colors. I will have a QR code, tinyurl link for access to assembly instructions, updated notes, help, etc. Aside from the sets I will also make the parts available separately for a reasonable cost. In case some are not interested in certain parts or want extra parts ie. the VF22S Bay Doors, heads, canopies, hands, antennas... The ballpark range/damage for an unbuilt set/kit is $70-$75. When I am ready (probably in a day or two) I will make the kits available in the sell thread/section of the forums (PayPal Goods and Services), eBay and eventually Etsy. I am considered built/post-processed sets later for an additional cost (includes painting, gluing, sanding, gloss/top-coating). Reaching Hands updated sculpt/model (the final will include the pivoting socket pegs as pictured in the set further below): A Full Set (with Bonus Parts for the first 24 sets):

    Wow it's been three weeks... I've been busy printing and working out most of the logistics. The Bay Doors took up most of the time for printing (about 36+ pairs). I should have the first 24 sets ready by the end of the week. I have batches of all the other parts for the project but not enough room to lay them out. Will be posting more updates as the week progresses.

    Awesome job! 🔥

    As promised, some more pics (before I burn out for the night... ) I also made some changes to a few parts, made another pair of hands, have some more ideas and will print them up later this week hopefully. Red Visor pics to compliment the Green Visor pics posted earlier: Poses: Head articulation:

    Thank you very much for the kind compliments! 🙏

    Battroid, I used a Blue 503 SMD LED for the head:

    Meh... I definitely need more practice using a camera, lol. Also battery died out, so I'll be taking more another day (tmw). Additional replies/posts to follow with more pics/modes/poses: Canopies, two different sets each consisting of clear, tinted, tinted heatshield, matte tinted heatshield: AAL Antennas: Loadout, bay door beam cannon ports are LED capable. I modeled channels/pathing for LEDs and wiring, I kind of gave up trying to wire them after some time... maybe another day:

    Brooding... from lack of sleep! Lol... 😓 Just a teaser pic...

    Just posting this for now... more in a day or two. Not my cleanest work with Future... pretty exhausted.

    Thank you and I appreciate the comment! Yes, 3D printing is a complete game changer.

    Aghhh... I've been real busy. I was suppose to post an update last week but then made some changes and figured I would hold off. I made an update on the "SENSOR INSIDE" emboss for a fourth version 'D'... a combination of 'B' and 'C' (the two most liked versions). I did size up the lettering yet its still barely visible. I'll have to check the exposure calibration settings for the resin (again) since the temps here in NYC have been fluctuating from 80s to 50s the last two weeks. There are four color combinations (so far): 1) Blue lettering with Red Visor 2) Red lettering with Green Visor 3) Red lettering with Red Visor 4) Blue lettering with Green Visor 1) and 4) have been my favorite so far. Everything is still being held together by Blu-Tak so it's just a hair gaped. I did the 603 SMD LED wiring last week, took pictures and all but then got the bright idea to model in wire channels/paths into and printed the parts. Good news is that it worked out really well for the head parts... bad news that I might not have enough room for the Bay Doors Beam Ports (sorry not pictured) unless I really cram in the wiring and solder the wires in tighter constraints/spacing on the 603s or use 402 SMD LEDs and I don't have any, LOL. Also 30 AWG wire was used. For the Canopy Windows I went through the sanding, polishing, Future process last week and realized I made it all more difficult for no reason. I also ran into an issue about how to Future the VF22S side windows (I laid them down flat 🤦‍♂️ LOL). My solution/workaround was to re-orient the window parts so that they're floating with supports contacting none of the viewing surfaces inside or out. The results: canopy windows that can be dipped into Future without having to sand (unless needed, some light sanding does help). Just snip off some of the extra supports, dip into Future and set in a container to dry for 24-48 hrs (tedious and painstaking time consuming process). I batch printed the the Antennas and they're pretty much ready to go. two passes with a red Sharpe marker and three passes with cotton swabs and alcohol clean up the parts pretty well. Same process applies for the head pieces. I used some Blu-Tak to hold up the antennas for the pics, so if you see a little bit of a darker spot in the center its the Blu-Tak. Just as a reference... the XL AAL is about the same length as the YF/VF-19 DX Antenna. The AALs have a decent amount of flex to them too... Other pics idk/forgot to put in the post:

    I was lucky enough to land a PO with hlj as well. I'm in the same boat... don't ask me about my backl,... wait what? LOL...
