way back in the day at the first mw con i paid $100 for a hikaru vf-1j joons in box.

that was my first non-jetfire valk so i'm proud to have it but yikes! $100 for a joons?!?!?!

oh, and you old school guys. i bought that joons from the infamous phil. he also tried selling me the large legioss ride armor =D

g'luck on getting one.

as tlw and xs said it is pretty rare.

lol, i remember some members here wanted their girlfriend to sew one and stuff it =D

wow, definately something for a gundam fanboy or hardcore nike shoe collector.

if i had those i owuld never wear them, lol

his sculpts are good but it seems as though something of this quality would be higher priced.

also, he is just recasting the heads, not painting them right?

it would be cool but it would cost too much to re-tool.

i guess its up to customizers to add those things onto a 1/60

hey man, get us some close ups of the head at different angles so anyone who could not see this in person can appreciate it a little more.

yes indeed, in the back is the infamous lansay tread which is considered the holy grail in macross/mospeada collecting. more than 5 were made but there are 5 documented in existence, not counting all the ones in the trash or rotting in the closet.

please read here for more info:

tony has it in box, all inserts, unapplied. its the best one

wow, he looks a lot meaner than those in those old transformers comics, lol.

don't like the designs a lot, but thats cuz i'm a huge old school fan.

like some people have said....if dprime had just tweaked the old designs a little we could have had an actual skyfire toy made!

that is an excellent recap areaseven, i really enjoyed egan's talk and his SUPER RARE picture alblum.

the winners for the con:

best overall- Chris B 1/48 diorama (made by Mike Salzo)

best 1/55- jason c VF-1D

much apologies to Hirohawa who brought in AWESOME entries after the judging had been completed. post pics =D

edited for chrisB =D

haha, i knew it had to be your car when i read your topic title.

that sucks man, you can always be the best driver but then other people go n mess it up for you. you should have gave chase to the other guy till you at least got the plates. i doubt his car could have gotten away from you.

if this happened to me i would be pissed n sad at the same time

so, where did you buy that man?

lol

just kidding, great work on it...you totally deserved your prize, sorry we couldn't find something better for you.

in the background is the holy grail.

way back in the day lswone made a mw color toynami morpher.

he even made custom packaging with the morpher sealed back into place in bubble.

its long gone now....

good luck on your custom

yeah, those are the BEST pilots made so far hands down.

i use those suckers in 1/55 double cockpits and man do they look great.

a recasting effort would be great especially when i have to shell out $10-$15 whenever i want 2 of them. i have so many spare missiles and such from the rest of the kit its not even funny =D

wow, didn't even know these came out already.

hopefully somone can bring some to show at the con, would love to see it in person outta the box

haha, sorry all.

i think they will all be held in so cal =(

but hey! why not start your own to coincide?

i know past efforts were made for east coast and midwest cons

do a "wanted" post in the wanted section.

there are tons of hoarders here who should have some spare.

dont forget the double cockpit too =D

Nick - any shots of the leg armor? The boosters look great! I tried to work on a JM Elint, but as with most of my projects, gave up on it - for some god unknown reason....

got any parts left?

damn those translations suck!!!

lol, jk.

ill eb sure to show satoshi what you've done with his hard work once im back in irvine.

damn nick you really are whipping this out fast.

i have no doubt you can finish by saturday, lol. no wonder you didn't want to come out to the car meet at life.

all i can say is keep it up!

wow, nice.

definately reminds me of the autocad days in drafting, lol.

im sure fulcy will find them very useful in his build up =D

dammit!

i've completely forgotten, lol.

its too late now, it would probably take forever for him to find.

thanks though rob!

nice rob.

dont forget about that stampey valk. people here are nuts for it.

too bad you cant come out to the con this year to show it off, oh well...maybe next =D

i was going to change mine but shoot, didn't want to confuse y'all.

looks like everyone has kept their old names =D

!!!!!!

very nice.

the benefits of living in china, you get first dibs on all the bootlegs =D

thanks for the pics sebastion....it makes me want it more!!!

that clear canopy is just too damn beautiful, i'd pay $10 US for one of these just for that canopy. can you do me a favor and just try it in a reissue and see if it works?

wow, the bootlegs have been getting better since the day of the "$5 bootlegs".

i would get 10 of these just to get those clear canopies from...hope these make it out to chinatown in the next month or so.
