I have the full squad except for movie messer, but only one of each

The Yf-29 under the legs pose is ....unique

Masks does nothing to stop you getting infected by a disease, even if they are N95 mask, we get infect thru our eyes easier, mask are good for when you are sick and you don’t want to spread your sickness. Health workers in china are wearing both mask with googles, thats the best way to not get infected, or full face mask.

Well we are still waiting on that tomohawk that was tease many moons ago....

Are trolls common in macross forums? In all the years I have been here, I don’t remember seeing many trolls

I guess with all the factories mainly in china, a lot of toys will be delayed due to corvid-19, hope we can overcome it soon and everything will go back to normal

I found beyond the aquila rift quite memorable 

I just realized that the number on this vf-4S is 101, does that mean it belongs to hikaru?

Played with it a bit and the shoulders are pretty stiff so far, as I do not have earlier version to compare with, am not sure if there is improvement. But so far I do have a bit of paint chipping due to the one transformation I did.

Just received my proto garland from amiami (dhl is fast) its my 1st megazone toy and it looks great, though I only could take it out of the box and look at it in craft mode due to the newborn in the house.

Yeah super glue tend to do that to transparent parts due to the glue vapours, when I need to glue transparent parts in my tamiya models, I use tamiya cement, not sure if that will work with these toys.

One down side to spray cans is it is less efficient than airbrushing so there's a lot of "wasted" paint especially with small parts. Tamiya just released a line of bottled lacquer in all the spray can colors. 

One way around that is to decant the spray can, then use the paints for airbrushing, that what i do when they only have that colour in spray can

I wish that were true sqidd

in other news, found the vf-1s for sale here locally at a game shop for sgd$440.00 and max’s vf-1a for sgd$360.00. Man are they expensive.....maybe I should ask them if they want to buy my MSIB strike packs I have been trying to sell and they can bundle those at whatever obscene pice they want to sell them at. Haha

Just wondering if anyone tried prying open the leg armours to see if there is any detail under there, though doing so mostly like will ruin your toy.

Oh and great review as always from anymoon

I'm a lifelong Star Trek, ever since first seeing TWOK when I was 5 or 6 years old.

If you liked/disliked any of the Star Trek shows/movies, that's cool.

What I can't abide is the sentiment that can be summed up in one line: "I hate [insert episode/series/movie] because it's a betrayal of Gene's vision!"

Regarding Gene's "vision": f*** Gene's vision. TOS was a mostly terrible show, and Star Trek didn't become good until they booted his sleazy ass upstairs and out of the way (and yes, Gene Roddenberry was a sleazy dude).

People who are that hung up on Gene's "vision" should go watch TMP and reruns of season 1 TNG. That's Gene's "vision."

Gene had a good idea, but it took the input and work of many others that came after him to make Star Trek into something worthwhile.

As far as Picard? It's okay so far. It's hard to gauge a series from just its premiere episode. A good recent example of this is The Expanse. It's one of the best sci-fi shows I've seen in ages, but it takes a few episodes before it really gets moving.

I don't get the impression that Picard is somehow a betrayal of Gene's "vision" or any nonsense like that. Yeah, there's conflict and turmoil in the galaxy. So what? Conflicts are what make stories interesting. I don't subscribe to the notion that the future has to be bright and shiny and full of track lighting and no one ever disagrees with each other for it to be "optimistic."

As far as BS science like somehow resurrecting Data from a single positronic neuron or whatever? Yeah, it's BS. You know what else is BS with regards to real science? Warp drives, cloaking devices, self-replicating mines, counselors on the bridge, and tons of other stuff on Star Trek.

As a wise friend of mine would often say: Nobody hates a franchise as much as its fans. 

Totally agree with you lolicon

Honestly this is hard to believe. I haven't bought any of the Bandai 1/48's , happy with my Yamato's. So I don't know first hand, but the DX looks really nice and Bandai knows how to engineer toys..

I was just comparing it to my arcadia 1/60 vf-1s and arcadia’s method of latching the legs with ssp on is far better with a positive lock, I do want the DX to be as good or better but alas, it is what it is.

I have to agree, fighter mode with strike pack is a bit of a mess to play with

I think he's talking about this:

It doesn't appear to serve any purpose other than to line up the swing bar properly in fighter mode... which is a non-problem since the swing bar can only lock in one position anyway. So it's just another Bandai non-solution that serves as just another thing that can break, as seen above.

Ahhh, for a moment I thought I was going crazy as I kept searching my vf for an O ring, which to me was a rubber black o rings we use for plumbing or seals. Thanks for the explanation

I sure am glad for the designs that came out in the movies, is that a re-gz with flight unit attached? The flight unit looks like a module from the lunar lander

I just think of it as a thing that does a thing and left it at that. Someone smarter than me will figure it out someday, and I'll draft off them.

Can someone enlighten me what O ring you guys are talking about? 

I saw the monster at their nakano shop before and almost bought it, too bad I did not see the regult missile set there else that would have been a no brainer for me.

Thats a real odd gundum design

Thought NY fulfilled every vf-1S order already, but since ypurs have not yet been fulfilled, I suggest you drop them a mail about it

Not unless its a partsformer like the vf100 vf25....those were a nightmare
