  1. IMHO, with the scarcity of Alto's VF-25 (at a decent price), this will be another chance for the fans to collect the HERO valk, though a different variant. That, and plus the hardcore fans who MUST have this....I predict a bleak outcome
  2. and not forgetting, the weapon options from Jasonc! and....I might end up having two of these, the extra one going to be repainted....
  3. My mouse button is on burst mode....lol! Seriously, I do hope this Valk is better, if not comparable, to the Yamato VF-17D. Aesthetic-wise, I prefer the VF-171EX.
  4. Haha! I recognise that pose! Glad you solved your problem, pud333.
  5. Man...we are going gaga over this, hahaha...here it is: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36479&st=70
  6. A very good morning guys! I was discussing yesterday with local Macross community about the upcoming 30th Anniversary event...when a thought came to me.. Can anyone show or link me to any info regarding the LAST VF-1 series/squadron/unit in service before being retired? Cause in my humble opinion, that would be a great addition to the VF-1 Valks, to coincide with the 30th Macross Anniversary. I could repaint my extra Valks to look like it, or better still, Graham could take it up to Yamato and have them produce it, en masse.
  7. This I agree...among your other pointers. And I am one of the 80's kids, and it always frustates me, even then, that the toys that came out resemble nothing like in the animated show. With the 1/55s, I could not replicate the action pose Hikaru VF-1J did while dispatching a number of Regulds. They could only....stand guard. And now, with the current 1/60s, I could. As for comparing the durability of 1/55 over 1/60...well, my late Motorola PCN 780 was way more durable than my current Nokia X6, so...yeah. I f anything, I would prefer Yamato to issue a 1/60 VF-1 with special paint scheme, commemorating the 30th Anniversary. I have nothing against a reissue of 1/55, but I would not buy it. Btw, the above post is just my personal opinion. I do not mean to belittle others who collect and appreciate the 1/55s. My apology if anyone is offended.

  9. Nah...for me, I just dun care much for cold, hard, lifeless bricks. It's not about fandom fading, but with the current steadily increasing Valk price, it's better to put my money into more refined, articulated and lineart accurate valks. Ask those who bought the VF-25 first editions......they'd know. *I might be the few lucky ones to sell off all the first version before the renewal came out...
  10. Yes, the Armor is sure win! Hope they they took care of the hinge breakage issue like in the first version...
  11. Hmmm...awfully quiet at this front. Wonder when VF-25G <Renewal> going to make an appearance? Though, with upcoming toy releases such as the SHFs, Masterpieces and even Yamato Macrosses, I appreciate the lull in the storm..
  12. On behalf of other collectors over here in Malaysia, I salute you....
  13. Omegablue has a point...even for transformers, a Deluxe size toy nowadays are 20-30% more than 4-5 years back....and not only that, their sizes are getting smaller for their classes! So to blame Yamato and Bandai alone for price hike is quite unfair, imho. Inflation is global, we just have to live with it...
  14. Already got a 1D and 1J....but I might just get the 1D for the option parts to recreate the TV scene. As for the extra 1D? Hey, there's always new paint scheme I can try!
  15. oooohhhh...I am SO tempted! Might finally break down and get this together with the Angelbird....
  16. That was me....that time it was my VF-0S. Only managed to change the position of the lower bar, not the one attached to the backplate. Mine transform fine now, just that in battroid mode I could not move the back so much...
  17. As bad as I want them, the price is a tad too much for my budget.....dang!
  18. Hey guys, a friend of mine show me this link: http://www.metal-box.jp/mb/ Got pictures of some SD-type mechas....does anyone here know where these are sold and how much?
  19. Absolutely awesome! This is something I can never afford...but it's nice to see another fan built it so perfect!
  20. I received mine from Amiami early last week....so far no complain, and enjoying it! The new improved shoulder joint is also a big plus over the first twisting and turning joint..... Like a bird of prey swooping in...
