Looks very nice indeed! Only thing: at $50 bucks, it is a little expensive.

Yes, they are the buggy versions.

Ah Mr Jerry Tsai! Welcome back! Think we lost you right after the forums upgrade 7 years ago where we all had to re-register? Anyway, this is the link to Graham's review of the initial release of the VF-1S strike. http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/VF-1-160-Review/VF-1S_review.html Also, you can check out the list of released valks by Yamato and Bandai overt he last 10 years in the pinned thread in this Toy section maintained by Grand Cannon. Not just VF-1s, but other VFs as well. For more reviews on the various releases, you can also go to Jenius's site @ www.anymoon.com. loads of good stuff there. Despite some imperfections of the initial releases (Osteoporisis shoulders and difficult hip/crotch mechanism), I think they are pretty much what I always wanted from a VF-1 Toy. Of course, please check out Macross Frontier if you haven't already!

What?! It has been almost 2 years since the Frontier series ended? Damn... time flies.... and we are all literally getting old from waiting for more Macross goodness.... and HG to die...

Only the head visor is different: Black instead of white. Edit: I meant grey instead of black.

Edited: Inappropriate question.

The litmus test: try transforming it a couple of times with no inhibitions and see the results.

Hey.... think the few posts above are kinda misleading and confusing Flight Suit: Gray, as it should be. VF-1fuselage color: Light gray or white?

Ah.... nice! I might get one, depending on the price.

Agree.

Graham's inbox is disabled by choice because of the Yamato shoulders. He will re-open his PM box once he is ready to tackle the shoulder issues again.

When Yamato says end of whichever month, they usually mean the very last working day of the month, unless otherwise stated, so I guess it will only Wednesday, 30th, or earliest Tuesday before we hear news.

Another great movie from Pixar. Certainly did not disappoint, and I echo what the others said: It is markedly darker than its predecessors, and some scenes might be scary for very young children. I must say that this movie is a real emotional roller coaster, and I shed man-tears in the last quarter of the show. Basically, for those who are on the fence, stop waiting for reviews and just go see it. It will definitely be money well spent. Reading reviews sometimes gives away of the story (however little it may be)and ruin what would otherwise be nice little surprises. Best to go with a mind totally not knowing what the show has to offer. Did I say you won't be disappointed?

Mine

Would you believe it: Action Figures.

That would be the DYRL? Style fast packs/ strike packs. Still out as of yesterday. The super parts have been in stock as far as I remember.

HLJ has them in stock still, at full price though. http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00106

For a moment I thought you were protesting the use of that pic I thought Gamlim VF-22s is a really great deal, as are the Ingrams, especially Noa's and the CLAT version

Actually I am willing to get a few of those decals... so for those who are buying, but not going to keep the decals, please let me know by PM. Willing to pay 6 USD, including postage on seller's end, for each sheet. Looking to acquire about 5 sheets.

Amazing! This is really a labor of love. Congratulations on completing this kit with everthing put in. This is really inspiring.

Nice work, as always Kurt. Congratulations to whoever who owns it, for having justice done to his kit.

Just file them down, then you probably won't have to worry too much.

Yes, if you take te pictures to be canon. However, in the absolute majority of the pictures that I have seen be it box art or otherwise, the shoulder arrows are yellow. I have never associated Roy's VF-1S with anything red.

Numbers are the same. 001. Another difference is that tv 1s have the letters VF just above the foot thrusters
