Got my two from HLJ and Amiami. I'm good. Domestic sites will have them soon enough. I'm just cheap and impatient. -
Amiami sold out almost instantly.
-
Episode 4 is my favorite of the season so far. Reminded me of the episode of DS9 where the Defiant is ambushed by two Jem'hadar ships and they have to run and hide inside a gas giant.
-
Ordering from Japanese shops is for the impatient and/or cheap, which I am both. I expect it'll trickle down to the domestic shops in the coming days. People enjoy getting trickled on, right?

The future HMR YF-19 will be shorter than the VF-1. Plastic costs a lot more these days. Bandai gonna F91 this mess!
-
Gotta seal in the wash on the landing gear. Not having to paint them myself saves a lot of time.
-
Do you remember a simpler time when women couldn't vote and certain people weren't allowed on golf courses? Bandai remembers.

Had some time to buckle down and apply the thousand or so tiny markings on the VF-4A. Again thanks to @Anasazi37 for the awesome decals! Also been sanding down the unsightly seam lines. The seam lines on the nose were especially obvious. Just need to topcoat her and seal everything in!

Bandai picks the most bizarre things to be really accurate about. Who says size doesn't matter? Bandai finally releases a valk with proper white aircraft landing gear. And it's on an HMR toy rather than their more premium DX line.
-
I know HMR is technically non-scale but it's still going to be hella lame if they don't at least kinda-sorta get the scale somewhat correct i.e. make the VF-0 larger than the VF-1.
-
I was wondering wtf was with the head lasers. Why does the other set exist?? It's not like Roy got his original head lasers shot off and replaced with centered ones in M0. Someone working at Bandai with OCPD foisting it onto us.
-
VF-0 should be noticeably bigger than the VF-1.
-
Now that's a fantastic display setup!
-
Troy McClure would love this!
-
I'm in for a couple of sets for any decals @Anasazi37 produces!

Here's a little something that's super easy to do that will improve the look of the 31AX with a pilot sitting in the cockpit. You see Bandai didn't actually put a seat inside the cockpit. This wasn't a problem with the cramped cockpits of the 25 and 31 series, but on the 31AX, with its more spacious cockpit, the pilot looks like a little kid in an adult seat struggling to look over the dash. So on both my units I put in a booster seat of sorts under each pilot so they actually look like adults sitting upright. In my case I just put a wad of blue tack under their butts. It also keeps the pilot from jostling around in the cockpit when, er, taking evasive maneuvers.

So it depends on what definition of "flagship" you're using. First definition is: "the ship in a fleet which carries the commanding admiral" Which in the case of the Battle of Midway would have been USS Yorktown as it was Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher who was in overall command of Task Force 16 and 17. However, in Star Trek, they're probably using the other definition: "the finest, largest, or most important one of a group of things (such as products, stores, etc.)" Which in Pike's time were the Constitution-class starships, so it's not much of a stretch for Enterprise to be the flagship, and it was not something that was ever explicitly named in TOS.

The covers can be pulled out with tape or blue tack. They're just held in place with a little friction. Later Bandai DX releases are harder to take apart than earlier ones as Bandai has continually upped the amount of glue applied to each release. I know because I've disassembled (or tried to) all of them.

I haven't tried taking apart the Sv-51 yet (I can't even find where I stowed away the replacement legs I got from HLJ) but the VF-0 line can be taken apart as well without the need to break anything. It's really Bandai that makes it impossible to take their valks apart without breaking things, and it's Bandai's valks that I feel need the most work to get up to snuff. (super old pic)

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Lolicon replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Nice! I only had a couple of Yamato 1/48s from back in the day before I sold them to make way for the newer 1/60 versions, but for only 6000 yen I would have definitely picked them up from Mandarake had I seen them. They're definitely a little dated and that battroid mode looks a bit dodgy, but in fighter they still look great even next to Bandai's DX. -
Awesome that you got one! The iconic Skull 100!

That's a pretty sweet display! -
Man, you remove all the screws from a toy and it just falls apart. How cheap! (Ready to apply @Anasazi37's excellent decals)

And an integrated heat shield! Parts-swapping is lame!
