  1. Well it was late at FanExpo and I didn't buy almost anything so it was between Hikaru's VF-1A($55) or Yamato's Super Ostrich($85), I was tempted to get either one. Anyway the seller wouldn't budge for lowering the price of the S.O. so instead I bought the Bandai for $45 and is there anything I should be cautious while transforming this toy or its built solid and no worries?

    Nah.. only the armpegs for the hands can be a pain in the ass. Not sure if slides smoother with later productions.

  2. hmm I remeber 1998/1999.. I discovered this site while surfing on a computer during my boring internship.. i was 19 years old.

    Then I saw all the art, toy pictures and scans of everything about Macross on this site and I felt like a kid in a candy store.

    The forum was pretty active those days. It ran on a different forum engine.

    Many peeps who havent got alot of money bought a joon or jetfire(in my case) because the only full transformable valkyrie was the old banday/takatoku that went $500,- + over the counter on ebay. Joons were like $60,-.

    But all in all Macrossworld was my first introduction to forum discussion boards and it was/is fun to share thoughts with other macross fans in the world!

    I once recall a dude here on the forum that owns a toystore in Hong Kong and many members here order the latest stuff from him.. like the yf-21, vf-11 etc.. toyline.

    Btw the homepage of Macross world is practicaly unchanged which is nice.

  3. yeah the feet of the beagle seem small, but I think it looks very good in bike mode.

    They got the tires right! It's those bulky tires that stood out in the original design.

    Well as for the headsculp.. it looks nice and authentic 80's style.

    I'm definitely saving money for this.

    How large/tall is it?

  4. Although I haven't got much time to create the paper legioss, I'm still brainstorming on how to create perfect transformation in all modes.. sketching etc..

    The joints are moved only by folding a piece of strong cardboard. So no annoying cylindrical bar joints.

  5. This picture shows exactly what I wanted to see regarding the legs in fighter mode, and is reason enough for me to give any fleeting thought of purchasing this toy no further consideration. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to me CM's execution of this aspect of the toy is absolutely hideous and completely unworthy of the price they're charging for it. From my POV this is a shame since the Tread does look pretty good, but the Legioss makes the combo a no sale. :(

    As long the legs look like that in fightermode... I'd rather not cal it "Masterpiece". :mellow:
