Nice formation! Is Max's Supers a different color? Maybe it's my eyes.

It's funny though the reg 17D vs super set is like $16 difference. And my bad. The 17S was $120-ish. Was thinking of getting that and the super parts. Would've saved $100 bucks vs the D. I don't mind the looks and color differences.

Thanks Spanner! I am extremely grateful to my friend for selling me his VF-4G, and glad to be part of the VF-4 owners club. Now that my quest is over, I don't know what to do with myself. What to hunt down next...?

Now you gotta start rearranging those detolf displays again to find the perfect spot.

I think it was $140-ish for the 17S and $260-ish before shipping for the 17D+ FP set at HK but the 17S sold out recently.

I'm sure it's been said plenty of times, but thanks to ChaoticYeti for being such a great person to do business with, very prompt, quick to fix issues and very professional and polite.

QFT! Would not hesitate to buy more stuff from him!

I got this just before Christmas, and took 5 days to put together. The RX-78 and VF-1J are just for size comparisons.

Wow, Gundams are huge compared to valks! And I bet there's even larger ones!

Using that pic and the pic below as a reference to see how big a real life VF-1 would be.

Maybe Arcadia should team up with urmm...Toynami and capitalize on the American market under the Robotech banner?. Its a win-win for both.

*ducks stones & chairs, fleeing*

All this talk about Arcadia vs Bandai, one thing for sure is that I would rather have nobody help prolong the life support of HG so that we can get both of these companies products here without jumping through hoops.

Just a question. Is the VF-19 adapter supposed to grab onto the frame with the tabs? My YF-19 adapter grabs it snug and I can hold it upside down but for some reason this adapter doesn't wanna secure itself on my VF-19S. I was following an earlier pic of the VF-19S but realized the adapter has been revised since then. Also, is the curved and flat base part of the adapter supposed to sit flush to the valk? Thanks.

Sorry, about this new Arcadia VF-1J, is it set for 3 modes transformation? Because pictures displayed seams to be only for wearing armor.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, you can only use it in battroid mode. (Not like the VF-25 armored parts) In the series, you had to eject armor to transform from battroid to other modes. Take armor off for fighter and gerwalk modes.

I'll finally be picking up 4 Detolfs tomorrow.

I have setup the area for them

Frontier Valks on standby, awaiting Detolfs

Just need to make a kite symbol table cloth and the assault group is ready to go!

Nice TV group shot!

Maybe because the newer, powerful engines need larger stronger frames? Coupled with energy systems, inertia control systems, increased weapons payload = increased internal volume needs?

Someone had a tutorial for DIY missile effects. I think it's time I try it out.

Love the VF-1 group second one from bottom.

Slap in some Heavy Machine guns and PRESTO!!! Sentry guns from Aliens,

Flashbang to stun or EMP grenade to disable?

Updated first post with new design and photos

Awesome! My Alto says thank you!

Pretty cool what people can do with motivation/inspiration . One day I wanna do something like that.

Amazing! Only a month's work?

Got a pic to use as a reference? Maybe you can use some plastic bag or ziploc or plumbers tape, cut a small enough piece to fit around the screw and use that as a wedge. How about Loctite or CA glue?

I use both EMS and Airmail registered. It says 8-10 but for me it usually gets here almost the same time as EMS, maybe a day or two later. I forgot which one it was but if I'm not home and miss delivery they bring it back to the PO and the other one will still be delivered to your house. Also, I think the insurance coverage limits differ.

Yup, but I decided to give the LED a miss and paint the frame green instead

I was watching the transformation videos and Wow that thing is huge when built! Green LEDs would look cool too.

Not the same model but just a reference.

Christmas present came just came in

Nice! I love the little figure's expression! Is this the one that works with the LED kit?

Too bad you can't use a dremel or something to cut a line across the sheared screw and use that as a flat head point.

Okay, 36501 without stand, 44201 for grey goggles, and 47901 for the dyrl hands.

Nice! I don't collect figures but they all look very good!

I really want to get those Yukikaze fighters but will stick to just Macross for now.
