oh. sorry about that. I only checked 'restock' part, but didn't noticed they changed the discount amount... It used to be much cheaper there...Maybe it's better off waiting for other shops to get more stock with better discount.

AmiAmi just got it restocked! If you wanted it, this is chance! AmiAmi VF-25F

Finally broke my piggy bank and got myself a new camera (+ some mini studio lighting set) :D I'll get familiar myself with it first and do some test shot with my SDF-1.

From one of those hobby magazines.. It says they decided to make Armored and Super Packs for renewal versions. No details yet.

That would be my last temptation for YF-19. Getting that now or wait for the new version which might not happen....

My secret weapon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NVT92O The clip and LED is a joke, but the magnifying glass holder is worth every penny for this kinda work. Still need to rest eyes every 30 min or so....

Oh!!~ Finally getting to the city section!!~ It's the fun part!!

Since I got my very first YF-19 - which was also Yamato's first Macross toy in 2000, I've been waiting for perfect 1/60 version. I'm not into buying multiple version of same model, so I've been skipping v.1.0 and v.2.0. If they do V3.0 based on the feedback they get from VF-19s, I'm pretty sure I'll buy it. That will complete my Macross Plus collection. I've been waiting for more than 10 years, so I'm not in a hurry. I'll be a happy man as long as they release a rock solid version.

It's 1/2000 scale. They used 1/60 for proportion and use laser carving to create the molding. Even thou it's over-scale, they think it might work fine for 1/3000 version. It also says it's 'part' of test shot.? That means maybe there are more???

Wow! That bring me back memories! That kit is pretty old! i think I built it like 10 years ago? Still it's a wonderful kit with nice proportion! Good luck!

Nice build! Does it still transform? I want to see the head with this color theme!

Wow.. 6+ years (or is it more like 9 years including planning?).. I can never do such a long project! It looks great thou. I can't wait for Youtube video of the remote controlled action sequence of this thing!!!! I bet you have a bunch of 1/200 Destroids and Valkyries also being ready in the background??

Congratulations~ It looks nice and certainly brings back memories. And it's pretty big, too! One reason I'm afraid of big scale models... Displaying it and also packing it when i need to move

Dang... Another online exclusive.... These are all custom ordered colors. Some are mixture of 4-5 colors. - so that explains why it's limited...T.T

the rusted off painting, custom decal, hexa masking pattern.. All goes great with MARS atmosphere!!

Very tempting indeed.. I only got Ozma (the worst one) from first release and stopped there. (i guess you all know why ) I did get VF-27 and was very happy with it thou. I don't think this Version 2 will be sold out, so I'll wait and check the reviews and other variations announcement before I make my move.

Reminds me of Dropship from Aliens - which kinda works

Hmmm.... Just got the new issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine. It has good Macross section including SDF-1 build sample. It was good, clean build, but kinda plain.. I was hoping to see a sample with all PE parts applied including launch arm and Valkyries...

Oh! It looks like they gonna finally introduce a build example by 'Yamazaki' Pro in next Dengeki Hobby magazine! Can't wait to see~

'tail-end of the nostalgia boom' Just that term makes me feel old and sad On the other hand, [Hot toys] is doing pretty good even in this economy for that matter thou.

Usually I don't leave comments for the stuff I'm not gonna buy, but that price worries me a lot for their next products... No more high-quality-good price 'made in China' Japanese toys..? I hope VF-19 version 2.0 won't be like $300 or something..

Technically, this 'WAS' lying on my workbench a month and 1/2 ago.... After I completed the SDF-1 custom, I was going to go back to my old VF-25S Ozma. However, I was derailed by this baby. When I saw it, I just couldn't resist! Some MW members might have seen this already from other forum, but I'm posting here again in case you're MGS fan and missed it. Full action MGS REX resin kit conversion!!! Full WIP and complete image here

Oh my.. 3 years!!?? That's not good for your health! You need some fume from glue and paint thinner!!

$18+ shipping for single 4cm candy toy!!?? That's a ripoff!! I wouldn't pay anything more than $5. Those half-as%ed swap-parts valkyries in the box are the worst. However, the other 'semi-poseable' figures are pretty good.

I like the way Yamato san described the usage of PE parts there. "Everyone, please find good pace to use them" --- Regarding painting on 1/3000 Valkyries.... "No comment..." :lol: For the Glow in the dark decals... "If you get carried over and put on too many, you will regret when you turn off the light to see!"
