Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

So who coined the term 'spannerized'?

That thing looks sweet! So these models are completed and everything? How much do they cost? -
Are you accusing Bandai/Satelight/whoever of cheating with their CGI models!?
-
No sir, I don't like it. Come on Megahouse, give us a Cosmo Fleet Battle 7/Frontier.
-
Maybe they're hoping someone will mistake it for the Arcadia premium finish version and buy it.
-
Nope, wasn't there when I saw it last year. Even the artwork didn't have it.

One of the shoulders has a crack, which isn't surprising for these earlier units. Other than that, item looks new, or as new as a 10 year old toy can look. It uses the older Yamato white from 2008, which is less gleaming white but also has no pink hue. No missing accessories and canopy tint is intact. -

It was a Mandarake find. 10k yen which came out to around $82 at the time. -
If you want something that you can play with and handle lots of transformations, get the DX toy. These model kits take a lot of time to make look really good and will be pretty fragile by comparison. They're models, after all. In the time spent building one of these, you could just go to work and earn the money to buy the more expensive DX.

So would you guys buy updated versions of the YF-21 all the VF-22s from M7 at today's Arcadia pricing? ...I probably would.

I didn't really need another Hikaru VF-1J but for only 80 bucks I couldn't pass it up! Love the old canopy tint. Wish Arcadia would include those on their "premium" finish version!

Hey, he's got 2 kidneys for a reason...

Looks fantastic with the proper clear canopy! Fricking Bandai and their outlandish design choices... Are you going to look into a way to achieve the recessed look of the forward sensors?
-
It really does look great with all the printing. Really tempted to get one. Dammit Arcadia, why are you releasing it in April? Already have way too much stuff to pay for in March & April.
-
That's probably the worst thing anyone has ever said to me on here.
-
Awesome 17/171 collection! Damn the stand for the RVF is hideous. Has anyone tried putting on a Yeti stand?
-
MacrossJunkie was able to strip his canopy. I personally wouldn't try it until I can find a way to safely disassemble the front fuselage, as the front portion of the canopy is one solid piece covering the front sensors too. While searching previous posts for the above image, I also noticed that whoever set up the 31F display attached the rear ankle armor on upside down. I'm sure messing up a Gundam display like that would've cost someone their job.
-
I think it's Bandai's best Macross DX release to date. Are you going to strip the canopy and do your own tint?
-
I bought a second set of 31J super parts on the chance that Bandai won't issue or bundle them with Hayate's knight version later on, forcing everyone to scrounge for them on the secondary market with huge markups. And it doesn't hurt to have another set when you already have 4 31s. I think Bandai opted for the weird frosted canopy too hide how the pilots have the consoles almost jammed into their chests. It probably played out like this: Bandai engineers: Hey you think the cockpit looks too cramped? Maybe we should revise it so it doesn't look like the pilot is hugging the forward console? Bandai middle manager: That's good enough. Send it for production. I want you to start on the next Gundam MB! Engineers: Oh! Gundam! Yes sir, right away! I would have preferred if Bandai gave us a nice transparent orange-yellow tinted canopy like the seen in the 1/72 model instruction manual. I know Bandai is perfectly capable of producing such canopies.
-
Those really do look nice. Not nearly 30k yen nice though. Wish Arcadia would just release one version with the printing at a more reasonable price and available at regular retail. Or just give us a sheet of decals, dammit!
-
No, I like the exploding console idea better.

No no, that just won't do. You need 3 sets of super parts for all 3 modes! -
Those Max Factory models look great! But I know they'll need to be painted in order to look that good, so I'll probably have to skip them. I'm in for the Figuarts Walkure though!
-
Given the nature of Delta, I'm surprised they didn't make use of sound boosters more frequently so they could sell more accessories! Yeah if I get another Hayate valk it'll be his knight emblem version from the finale. Thank you, sir! LOL! It's a good thing I have some extras! The DX 31 toy is definitely superior to the 25! I really like the overall look of the 31, but I'm still liking the 25 more, though maybe I'm just influenced by the quality of their respective shows. But I do think the 31A is probably the best looking CF unit ever! It's the most cramped cockpit I've seen since the Yamato YF-19 and its overweight Isamu. Thanks noel! Kira!! I used a dark grey wash which ended up darker than I anticipated after adding a clear coat. I usually just draw in the lines with a mechanical pencil which works great for Yamato/Arcadia valks with their super fine panel lines. But Bandai valks have much thicker and deeper panel lines, so I just got lazy and used a wash. Black wash looks way too stark on a light surface, I think. Exploding consoles have never caused problems for anyone. Just ask any Starfleet officer.
