I have near perfect vision and pay a good attention to details. I also used Windows viewer to enlarge it to double check. XD

lol... Yamato screwed up their production pic. Just look closely at the left shoulder area right under the cover. http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/royvf-0s/001sf.jpg They need to stop using first productions for their actual production shots. These pics aren't going to help them in their sales with their existing mishaps. XD

Because it is. Its just modded.

Which one? The VF-11 one?

For the heatshield covers... I'd say they use some kind of prism or color reflective material for the mini windows, so at certain angles it'll change colors from clear to blue and back.

IMO... I think that whole TF animated series is going to be crap. There goes the TF franchise.

Okay... I see how the pics were referring to the 21.

hmm... okay... bad landing gear and wing issues with the pegs?

Not sure which screw on the 19 you stripped, but... You can try these links... never used any of them. Just googled "screws phillips" and these came up on the rhs. http://fairwayfasteners.com/category.asp?id=4 http://www.mcfeelys.com/find-a-fastener.as...CFSBMGgodPEFqLQ http://www.boltdepot.com/Catalog.aspx?wt.s...c_id=broadbolts

Gosh Graham... because... the YF-19 does a dive in Macross Plus the Movie!!! XD

I believe the "belly covers" were jettisoned with the limbs. Seeing as the "belly covers" were attached to the legs and not the hips.

I give credit to Yamato because I agree in the same ordinance (with everyone else) that they've done what no other company has ever done before with the new and old VF/YFs. If they were to make the VF-0s' shoulders diecast there could've been that possibility that the metal would've been too rough on the shoulder plastic ball joints or lower bicep housing which would've resulted in a worn down (wear and tear) effect. The ball joint would've worn down leaving a loose shoulder effect. The same goes for the lower bicep; the metal version might've resulted in a loose twisting swivel. They could've done that and some of us would've still complained about the shoulders. XD Alas... they didn't do that. Leaving us with cracked plastic upper arms. This maybe a little off topic..., but does anyone remember what the exact reasons for why Yamato discontinued the original first YF-19 (with metal shoulders; 1st edition)? I still got one of these and many second editions mint in their boxes. XD Just pondering a bit... seeing the possibility of a similar case/reasoning. Hopefully the above mentioned case won't be an issue with the YF-21. I don't mind a complete plastic YF-21 (with no diecast) as long as they can get the majority of the parts right! ***EDIT*** And yes... I will be getting a first edition. I usually do. I don't mind coping and fixing the issues depending the scale of the matter.

I think it was more like... Yang decided to eject Isamu and take both the YF-19 and sharon's sister for a joy ride. Yea cause I think Yang should be able to hack the 19 enough where he could pilot it with a keyboard. XD

AHAHAHAHHAHA... I got it. They're going to make all the limbs detachable, but to give the fighter mode the sleek look that everyone wants they'll have to detach the legs when transforming it to fighter mode. XD *just a ramble*

FYI... the first run is not OOP: http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00041

Nice collection, but I think it's a little too repetitious for me

HEY!!! There's something wrong about the list... Where is Nora's SV-51?

Both you guys are missing a step. Go back to the manual. The dark grey tab that's inserted into the shoulder needs to be repositioned and then everything else should just fall into place when transforming it to fighter.

My Shin is holding up really nicely. -=] It's got nice tight joints and no stress marks (I even loosened the shoulders up too).

I'd say if they took the Hasegawa schemes and put them on the Yamato VF-1J and YF-19 they would've had a better fighting chance... hmmmm metallic purple-blue with gold trim variable YF-19.

Hmm... well not exacty sure which 22 SHE based their painting scheme off of... however, I'm not building my 22 until I get more time to dedicate towards it.

Something like this you mean? The shoulders are just a shade darker. I would say the visor is more orange than yellow. Even from the anime if I remember correctly. Black gunpod? Was it really? hmm... Good thing I guess that I didn't start building this one yet.

Nope... Never got the chance to. I got the first one, but never got the second one. Yea I know what Max's blue is.

Yea... I know what I posted. ***EDIT*** I kind of like that blue. I gives Max a meaner feel.

Sorry... never played the VF-X2, so I did't know what they used in it. I do recall reading the game review somewhere here and now that you mention it that the VF-22 was in there somewhere.... I think. ***EDIT*** I would also think that Yamato would logically produce the 21 first, then follow up a bit later one with the 22. Just to get all the people to buy the 21 because "there isn't going to be a 22..." then everyone who wanted a 22 would be like o damn time to get the 21... gets the 21 and then Yamato goes oooo what do we have here... 22 bling* bling*... then 22 fans go noooooo.... buy like nine 22s....
