MJ, please offer this w/a pre-painted option. I really want this cool item!

Oh yeah, please offer pre-painted like you did w/the gunpod; it was so nice to just take out of the package, inspect & display w/a valk no muss no fuss.

If this comes out like the gunpod prototype then this is going to rock & you can count me in for a set!

If your pending sale on the GBP-1 w/Missile Effects falls thru please pm me immediately. I'd like to get that from you.

Kev,

How much for the qf-2200d-a ghost pictured by itself?

you got pm.

Is the heat shield integrated into the design, or a snap-on like the 1/55?

What's up with u too friend, hope all is well on your end!

If the trade doesn't pan out, what would u want 4 it?

For me, it's 1)- if I like the the story, animation, and music of the tv series, ova, movie, I would tend to gravitate toward the mechanics of that particular property, 2)- what's the largest scale I can get that properties mecha in that has the best detail & posability for my taste, 3)- is the price point reasonable for my modest income, and 4)- can I complete the series of collectibles I'm trying to acquire?

Turned out that the Yamato 1/48 Valks satisfied all 4 of my criteria, and the blessing was that I bought practically each one as they were released. Only missing the 'holy grail' 4 & the 'weathered' versions (which are just highlighted/accented duplicates of what I already had), so no biggie.

Macross Plus was real easy; 3 Valks & you're done! (just ordered the VF-11B from HKC @ a good price)

But Macross Frontier (version 1) was where I started to grow weary of how these collectibles were being offered to the masses...enter the Tamashi Nation Exclusives. Got all the Messiahs & their TNE accessories, but was disappointed that these items didn't come with the original releases.

Oh well, that's just a little insight as to how I collect...interesting thread this is.

Pm'd bout the 1/15 Garland...

PM'd u AB 'bout the AB.

"I like your avatar...that's miriya's box art for my VF1D if i'm not mistaken. God I have to get that thing finished."...

...please do so sir, would love 2 c it (and own 1 4 myself)!

i buy it at my local hobby shop.. but you can search it in the internet.. search for the TT hongli mechanical chain base.. it's the china copycat for the kotobukiya mechanical chain base

thanks for that Valid...gonna have to see if i can find some of these.

No bro-namath, you're awesome.

co-sign Benson, and he's right...it's guys like u that take the time to fabricate this stuff that I stand in awe of. Your embellishments to already existing items, as well as your completely original one of a kinds, make for a richer more satisfying hobby experience IMO, so hats off to all of you!

oh, and u r most welcome for the link bro!

Kurisama,

Imagine if u & the guys in your modeling circle/club/organization, that is if u r in one, decided to collectively invest in something like this...

With your current stable of products, and whatever else your fellow comrades/contributors offered, u could realistically become your own smaller scale Shapeways type company.

thanks mom!

hey m.o.m.,<br /><br />where did u get your hangars from? those really look great.

hey valid,<br /><br />where can i find a resource for the $5.00 dollar hangars?

Damn, Kicker!

Definitely not Detolf friendly, I wager !

Dang, sorry to hear that man...hang in there & keep your head up, bro.

Selfish bump...I just can't stop looking at this upgrade & imagining it on my extra Angelbird w/Super VF-1J's TV Armour also! Pm'ing u Gdub w/a boatloada questions.

Hey Benson,

Did u ever do the leg missiles & hip grenades?

Gdub, don't tease me like this...do you really mean an honest to goodness 2-seater upgrade kit for the existing 1/48? You doggone right I can wait! Man please don't let me down on this one!

Would it be possible to put these figures on square bases like the figures that came w/the destroids?
