After watching MacF I really wanna get my hands on some nice Toys... as for now I own two 1/48 scale Hikaru Yamato ones one of 'em with SUper Strike Parts. That all I have and know about Macross and that's why my question ist... Where to get the Frontier Toys (I live in Europe so which online source is best)? I only know hlj.com but they don't have ozma and alto anymore. Furthermore I'm afraid of buying something outdated, after ready all that re-isue stuff... would you wait or can I buy 'em without further thoughts and without worrying about buying crap? I hope it's okay to ask these question, though I might get my answers by reading all the 30 pages and 4 other MacF Dx threads... but feeling somewhat lost, I hope someone can help me faster and reliable. Thanks in advance

Can anyone tell me where to find the "Valkyrie Super Pack Parts Set" for the 1/48 scale valks? HLJ.com has them on backorder only and I'm waiting for over 2 weeks now :'( --edit-- I searched for HoHoTyos on ebay... is this the seller you were talking about (@ sqidd)? If so, he has many of them SEE HERE . But of course Onlinestores would be much better, if someone should know one which has the pack parts in stock.

Or he's just a Fan of the Metal Gear Solid series and awaits MGS4... The Beauty and the Beast Unit

Of course I'll transform it from time to time for display purpose. With playing I thought of the "traditional" way, like little children do it with cars, planes or whatever ^^ You know... own sound effect making and "playing" haha

It's not like I'm waiting to order them or something... I've of course already ordered them at hlj.com together with my valk, but they aren't in stock right now (backordered). Same with the stands ^^ But thanks for the advice! ^^ Or maybe someone has another good online store which ships to Europe and have them in stock?

I don't think so, as there isn't anything in it ^^

Thanks for all the answers... this community is really great!!! And yes I ordered Devin's Stickers with a protective coating and so I don't plan on coating my valk. Let's see how I'll do the panel lining, but either way it shouldn't be a problem as I don't plan on playing with it anyway ^^ Thank you once more!

Looks like hlj.com got some more, because they switched them back as "In Stock" again (together with some other valks). Damn, maybe I should order them too now oO'

Ok, for me it's GREAT - I love the pictures!!! Simply because looking at them makes me feel as if it would be my first valk (which should arrive by next week ^^) But I will have to wait for my Fast Packs and stands a little bit longer :'(

Looks good too. But still the one question... why not to use gundam markers oder copics (0.02mm) without coating? Should be the same as with the pancil. As long as I don't touch or rub IN the panels its okay, isn't it?

Wow... looks really good for the amount of work it should take. And Swoosh's M&M valks were panel lined with a mechanical pencil too? I think I'll do it this way than... But just to understand the difference. Why do I have to clear coat panel lines made with a copic oder gundam marker, but not the ones made with a mechanical pencil? It's quite the same for me (noob haha). ^^

Great... So I'll by 2 Gundam Markers (Black and Gray) and 2 copics (Black and Light Grey) to see which are better and for the future. Did I understand it right that I have to clear coat when using Gundam Markers and Pencils, but not if if I used copics?

Thank you all... I just ordered stickers for my Hikaru and the Super/Fast Pack ^^

This one is quite old and it was cancelled or something. So yes, I've seen it before ^^ Wow I found the Thread I've seen it in some time ago ... CLICK ME...

Maybe I should add that I would like to panel line a 1/48 scale Yamato and don't want to take it apart ^^ What method would you suggest to use here? Of course I would try out both methods on a regular cheap plane model kit first...
