  1. I was always under the impression that Paypal charged you a slightly crappier exchange rate and pocketed the difference. I have my account set up to charge to my credit card, which charges in yen and uses whatever the market rate is. In addition to the better rate, all those valkyrie purchases rack up a lot of points!

    That's not what I said. Please read more carefully. I said that as an accessory that you have to pay extra for, it sucks. I wouldn't have minded as much if it was something that came with the figure in the box, like the DX stands. Yes I have the Act 5 stand for mecha. I use it for battroid. As stated, it doesn't secure well and wobbles and is easily knocked off.

    Bandai would never release a toy that needed a stand to stay upright! Speaking of which, I recently tried attaching my HMR 1S to one of the Tamashii act stands I got. Wow they really are pieces of sh**. Really unacceptable being a sold-separately accessory rather than an included item.
  4. Wasn't there a custom commander type head unit available on Shapeways or something awhile back? Anyone happen to have a link?
  5. LOL! No, I don't think I'll be doing that. I have more experience and way more decals stockpiled now than I did back then though, so I think I can do much better this time around!
  6. Not shipping mine till the SDF-1 comes out next month. But very excited to have another VF-4. Like my first one, this one is not staying in its VFX colors.
  7. 1/72 Yamato YF-19 MSRP was 6800 yen. http://www.hlj.com/product/YMTMC-01/Sci

    But, but! Having a Monster transform is sooooo unrealistic!
  9. Spectacular pics Saburo! Just got some more Yeti stands in so I think I'll mount 25G up next.
  10. Just started picking up Yeti stands for myself and I must say I wish I had started getting them a long time ago! Gonna take awhile to get enough stands! Thanks to Saburo for showing me how to mount more than 1 per stand. They were a little confusing at first from just looking at pictures, but once I got them in hand they were a breeze.
  11. Not too enamored with what I've seen so far, but I'll keep my preorder. Only decent TV SDF-1 coming out and maybe, just maybe, we'll eventually see a Battle 7 and/or Battle Frontier join the Cosmo Fleet line (slim as that hope may be). A Macross Quarter that can hold its own arms up would be nice too.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    It'll just be a part attached with a separate clip that will inevitably be lost.
  13. Those are some lovely YF-19s! More pics please!
  14. I'm on the fence too regarding if I should get 1 or 2 more. Definitely 1 so I can customize it and do a better job than my rather amateurish attempt on my Yamato VF-4. This is a fighter mode only toy for me so maybe I don't need 3...
  15. The tornado parts are terrible in fighter mode unless you perform the saggy wing fix that was posted awhile back. Considering how simple the fix is, we can chalk it up once again to poor engineering by Bandai.
  16. Whatever floats your boats, guys. It's all good. In my mind's eye, these aircraft see actual service. That's why there's a pilot in the cockpit.
  17. Thanks! I'm glad my labor of love turned out better than the efforts of a disinterested factory worker. And damn! I would gladly have gotten another 0S at that sale price! Already sold out.

    Should have posed it standing on its head with some to-scale humans running away.
  19. I'm pretty sure us old farts who grew up with the original Macross are not the target audience for Delta (or really a lot of anime in general these days). But then I don't really need to be a fan of the show to enjoy the different valk designs. *coughMacross7cough*
