Scream Man

Mirages fighter looks so much whiter here than I remember it in the show. 

Nice though  

Mine just shipped today, so mine will be coming in next week I think. 

i will say I like that its bigger than the 31. Makes it more threatening. I liked that in the 51's as well. 

That looks like the Macross Chronicle Magazine. 

I also managed to score one through HLJ, all paid for. I assume I'll get it Friday, or maybe next Monday. 

I'm unsure if I like it or not based on pictures. We'll see what its like in hand. 

That Isamu qcustom is phenomenal!!

SWORD!!!!

Im cool for a loose sequel to Delta. Bring in a new Idol or two, a new pilot or two, and have them close out the story of the Windermere war. Give us  some new planes. 

Keep the balance a bit better, make sure you remember you're an action show as well as an idol show and use both. Keep up the good work with yoour characters, but work on the plot some more so we dont have to have exposition episodes (Berger explains it all). 

Or do something different. I'm in anyway. 

Seto mentioned higher up that the ammo for the railguns was probably stored in the arm, which was safer since it didn't explode. That would make sense, since we see Hayates arms blow off multiple times, and they didn't seem to excessive. And you wouldnt want live ammo in an area you also have projecting energy shields and being used to block! 

My 31 has a small chip on the hinge of the shoulder, noticeable in robot mode. That happened after like, 1 trnsform, and is barely noticable. 

Otherwise totally fine after copuntless ransformations and play basically every day since i got her the day before Christmas. 

Are any Valkyries ever referred o by their name in-canon? Other than the VF-1 i mean. We as fans call the 262's 'Drakens' but are they ever referred to that in-universe?

Even the 19's and 22's are just called 'fighters' or 'Valkyries' as far as i can remember. 

So 'Valkyrie' went ont o become the slang for any variable fighter, yes? 

Spanner is, indeed, the man  

Spanner hooked me up so in April I'll be getting Messer!

I totally understand Scream Man, but there is a difference between a very stiff joint, and a frozen one. I have broken pens and pencils with less force... Yes I am joking, but this thing is frighteningly stiff. I think the only way to resolve this is to disassemble the joint, and hopefully find out a way to make it work properly. My Yamato YF-19 is perfectly fine in that area. I may have to call James May to reassemble this. 

Ok, so longer than 24 hours  

i have transformed it back and forth a couple of times,and i dunno what makes it stick, but i also didnt have a worry with it. I shifted the legs back and forth several times and no hint of damage. 

Man MC, you are cursed man  Im sorry about all the problems.

Did you get a 0S? If so it more than makes up for it. Shin's 0A is good to have but a little boring to look at compared to the 0S. Are they still going to release the "unknown soldier" variant?

I did, but the ball ankle is frozen which deadens my enjoyment of it. Its still GOOD, just not great. 

The 0A is one of those fighters Id get if i had the money, but I probably never will, so Ill live without it. 

Man I wish I could afford an Ozma Heavy Armor set. Its the one glaring omission in my 25 collection, but man it is SO expensive! 

I occasionally regret not getting that 0A... but SO expensive....

Let me get home from the trip Im on and double check, see if I can offer any tips. Ill message again in 24hrs

I ended up just fixing the defect instead of sending it back to Amiami. I would be losing way too much if I were to send it back, then I would have to play the QC RNG again if I were to order again.

man, when you look at them next to each other the 25's look SUPER long and stretched out....

one of my reason I quit collecting toys from BANDAI, the QC issue :/ , Luckily mine didn't has QC problem. Planning to get Messer & Mirage but kinda on the edge about it, Messer VF-31 Horn on its head looks really thin ~.

 

The 29's have a thin horn on them, and I havent had any worries with those

Ive never been worried about breaking the joint, but mine are definitely stiff. Still ok on mine, and I transform my fighters a lot....

Fighter mode is spot on 1/60 then. Battroid is going to be a lot trickier to figure out given all the different things that can extend and different angles that can be achieved... I had it at 24CM at first measure which is a little small... should be 25.5...

Is that with the ankles collapsed or extended? 

In a couple of years we'll get movies similar to the Frontier ones I suspect. 

Im still trying to figure out how the eyes work on Messers 31. Maybe its just a plate thatchanges on top of the head? Maybe the eyes roll around, half clear half black? I dunno, but Im curious. 

Love the pics as always Saburo  

This is definitely one of my favorite Valk toys. Im not sure if it beats the 19Adv yet overall, thats a real favorite of mine, but this is pretty great!

thats odd; Look at the headin Robot and Fighter; the eyes are a different color. They look black in fighter mode, like there is a shield over them or something. 

or alternate parts? A Battroid head and a fighter head?
