Scream Man

I liked it. First Delta movie is ok, but not really my thing. But I quite liked this one. i mean it was weird and Silly, but then so is this whole franchise, so I didnt care that much, it was what I wanted anyway.

I do have the Full set YF-19, but haven't transformed it. I was unaware that it had any issues. Thanks - I will look at the thread.

I mean I've had mine a few years, transformed it many times as recently as yesterday, and Ive never tweaked a thing. 

Ive been playing around more with the toy this week (Top Gun got me zooming jets around!) and it's grown on me a lot from when i originally had it. I never hated it, but it didnt grab me the way the 31 did. But Im coming around to her charms  

Well I just bought my first Legioss toy, which will also be my first ever Sentinel toy. The Blue Eta seemed like the place to start, so hopefully its as good as it looks in pics! 

I don't know how to add spoiler tags, but there's a new 30 second teaser and boy howdy is it a good one. 
 

Im careful too. And the Michael VF-25 on my shelf hadnt been transformed in YEARS, so I dunno how that happened. 

Im not nervous about the 31s, they are a rock solid toy. SOme of the hinge on the weapon pods may get loose, but thats all that worries me. 

Is there a good way to get to those screws> There isnt a lot of room there to get to them, so I was trying to see if there was a way to get that whole section off first?

I actually knew that one! 

Thank you, as always, sir. 

...But seriously, how do I take that hinge that keeps the waist/legs on apart?

ok, so its something to do with Space flight then? Okidokey.

I'm not aware of any official explanation for why the YF-29 Super Pack is designed the way it is... 

If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say the positioning of the booster probably has a lot to do with the concealed MDE beam cannon turret being positioned where it is inboard of the stabilizers and the pack as a whole trying to keep a low profile.

I dont mean the position of the Boosters on the wings, I mean the part where the booster nozzles extend outward in space flight. Alli could think of was it was some sort of cooling measure

So I just got the 29 Full Armor set today (And its great) but it reminded me of a question Ive been meaning to ask; Is there a reason the Super Pack Engines (The ones that attach by the vertical stabilizers) extend outwards? It always vaguely looked like uncovered engines extending rearwards, and i never quite understood why?

Wow, the Full pack set is REALLY nice! Like, so much nicer than i expected, its incredible! The matte paint and (So far) tighter joints and extra clear parts all make a really big difference! 

Very happy I grabbed this!

I will if someone helps me to learn how to take one of these apart! 

Right now, I cant figure it out, sadly

Hi back!

Yeah it wasnt much. Ozmas is pricey, but not unreasonably so.

You have to open up the underside of the forward fuselage where there are 4 screws. You have to remove those screws to detach the entire crotch/hip section from the nose area. Once detached, you can just pop the crotch plate off and remove those screws and then you can access that part. I'm writing this from memory so I don't remember if there was a metal pin or anything like that holding it in place on the inside.

You're talking about this part, right??

Yep, thats the part! I was a bit cautious, as as it stands they both "work" in fighter mode and i was nervous to try and separate them and break it more. i had a look for youtube videos but couldnt see any. Once I saw here that someone had made replacement shapeways parts, I assumed it was possible to split that section to access the pins, but I havent been able to figure out where to do it. Getting the legs off at the hips is easy (I have done that many times to tighten various joints) but its detaching it from the underside of the central fuselage i cant figure out. 

TBh I haven't gotten a new Macross toy since the 31E, so Im excited to grab one again. Years ago I sold all my 29s except the Alto, which broke about 8 months ago, but I had a lot of preorders and the like so couldn't swing a new one. But! for my birthday I found a decent priced one on mandarake and my family nabbed it for my birthday! Im looking forward to it!

I then saw a cheap Isamu 29 on Mando, and since i regretted selling mine I nabbed that too. Im telling myself i dont need to rebuy the Ozma and Blue ones. 

Just today I discovered my 25G and F both have a break on the waist hinge. I see the SHapeways replacement part available, what I was wondering was how you go about swapping the part? I can see some people discussing the nose hinge, but not the waist hinge. 

Any help would be really appreciated.

Been a bit busy as of late, but had some time this weekend to get back to the YF-29 grind.

First order of business: touching up the terrible pilot figure. Hand painting is hardly my strong suit, and the molding of the pilot is pretty bad, but I did what I could to make it actually look like Alto from the anime. 

Stock pilot from first YF-29 release vs touched up YF-29 reissue pilot (Bandai used a darker shade of white plastic on the reissue)

Catching up on this thread, since Im getting the re-issue for my birthday, and when I came across this I was STUNNED! Absolutely PHENOMENAL work, sir. 

Guri Guri! Yack De-Culture! Other made up words!

But it's really just a picture of Messer scotch taped to a bucket on top of a mop handle... nobody has the heart to tell Kaname.

At least in the movie they wouldnt have to explain how his head got more... solid....again. 

Gotcha, cheers

Or did he? Don’t know ..maybe speculation on my part...just tot he and roid would be nice plot twists if they survived. Tho seeing how old they were in Windermere terms, maybe it would seem implausible here to have them reappear.

Yeah I mean getting to the end, and not seeing the body, I dont think its impossible that he did. 

Also it was far better than i remember

Rewatching the Delta movie, and they mention that theres mention of how cloning was banned in the Spacy. since that was such a big part of how humanity survived SW1, is there any mention of why the practice was abandoned and made illegal? 

As to the Drone fighter; You might be right. It does have Delta 6 markings, and yet is clearly in combat with CHuck, Mirage and i THINK Hayate, though its hard to tell. Which could mean that either the drone is taken over... or the Green Delta 6 31AX we see and its pilot go rogue (Or go Bogue 😛 ) or get infected by Var. 

Speculation is fun
