  11. Hmmm heheh, sorry sorry my bad my bad
  12. HOLD ON! Are we talking about vintage or re-issues here? $300?(that's USD I suppose) If it's VINTAGE, why is it better than the Re-issues? Just asking cause I was about to buy a re-issue. Sorry for hijacking the thread Gomen na sai
  13. I'm so glad I pre-ordered this.....
  14. Hmmm, where did you see the news of this? I've just pre-order it!!! Dang it!
  15. Hmmm, I'd actually prefer the "in Japanese with English subs type" Cools, let me know ya? misterryno Thanks
  16. I hope that my post didn't make you too sad, I know, it's the luck of the draw I suppose. And no, I won't be seeling it off on ebay or what not, I do love my toys. ( I'm lucky I bought 2 Roys, so hopefully the other one isn't too bad) I was just..... well in a word, dissapointed and needed an outlet, and honestly, I don't think many people outside of Macross toy collectors' would understand how I felt. But hey, it's all luck right? And not as if the world has end( or anything broke while I was fiddling with it) May be I'll get a 1/55 "chunky monkey" for the heck of it, and see how it fares.
  17. That's the thing isn't it? I order my Valk's from HLJ, how do I tell them, I want the lastest re-issues and not the old stock? Sigh, I only bought from HLJ because my local toy stores don't carry the 1S any more, maybe I'll have better luck next time. maybe.........
  18. Ya know, I was all excited and everything, just waiting and drooling on getting my grubby lil' hands on my very first 1/48 VF-1. I managed to hold off my excitement, ya know just to keep it in the box and look at it.... Well, last night, it got the better of me and I open my 1S Roy, somehow..... I was expecting more ya know? I felt kinda let down by how plain it look. ( guess it's decal time!) Took it out of the plastic tray to look it over, seems sturdy enough at first. Flipped open the instructions on how to transform the Valk, won't say the instructions are the best in the world, but it's simple enough to follow. (Good lord, how on earth did I play with the 1/55 Bandai ones when I was only 5 or 6??) First off, in Fighter mode, the landing gear bay doors are wayyy too tight, just opening the doors gave me a heart attack, and I think the joint on the right rear side is off, the door does not open straight, kinda off center like (heart ache) The front landing gear is too tight, (talk about a squeeze just to get the wheel out and in place!!) Second thing, I think Yamato still has some QC issues, the left wing joint doesn't seem to sit very tightly, and it looks almost like the joint for the wing is warped, I checked the screw that was holding it in place, lo and behold, it wasn't screwed on straight, so it's not sitting flush in the joint. That I think is wat's causing the wing joint to be floppy, just pointing the Fighter nose down, the left wing will swing out on it's own, no issues with the right side. On to Gerwalk, transforming was a heart stopping affair, didn't know how much force to use so took my time. Everything seemed well until I hit the "foot" part. Again the left "foot" doesn't extend out straight, off center to the right some. Might be the groove that guides it out is off or not holding the extention right. Right "foot" is ok. On to the arms, (Damn! I got floppy shoulders!) can't even hold the Gunpod extended, tends to flop. (Sigh) Left side again!!!! The hand on the left side is loose, cannot hold the Gunpod at all, Right side is a-OK. (I see a trend here, the left side ain't "right" after all) *ok so it's corny, I'm heart broken already, so humor me* Looks ok so far in Gerwalk, standing has a bit of an issue, tends to wanna crash nose first. Maybe my legs weren't angled right. Battroid mode seems the most stable, ( well considering that I have 2 1S "Roy", I might just keep thing one in Battroid mode) But again, with floppy shoulders and hands, not much action posing I can do here. I'm sorry guys for ranting, (and not posting pictures, was kinda dissapointed so I transformed it back into Fighter to keep it back in the box.) It's just that, after so long, I think my expectations got the better of me, ya know? It just didn't seem to live up to what I had thought it might be. It's a cool toy, yes and I do like it, (flaws and all) but damn, This stuff's not cheap and I still got floppy parts and all, sigh...... I would most likely now, just get the ones mentioned in my first post, just so I'll have this little bit of my childhood to carry along with me, where ever I might be. But, I don't think I'll get getting the rest of the Macross Valks from Zero or Plus or F, just doesn't seem that I'm getting for what I'm paying for. I know some of you disagree, (actually, I KNOW some of you will) but this is just how I feel, I'm a little happy, yet a little sad. I'm glad I have it, don't get me wrong, just wished it wasn't wonky with so many issues. -malakite
