    Kay. Edit: Original pic taken from Macross Mecha Manual.

    Nah they're attachment sockets for detachable landing gear when you wish to pose your valk on all fours in Battroid mode.
  3. raptormesh
    Yeah, perhaps they may have to put a bit more diecast into the legs to balance it, which will stress the joints even more. I don't know it just looks to have a lot more volume than either VF-22 or VF-19.

    Very nice pic. Sorry if this is off topic but what plane is that in the background?
  5. raptormesh
    It's much easier for techs to work and maintain the valks when it's in Fighter mode, panels are accessible and you don't need ladders and extra panels to reach folded areas. This is probably why Fighter mode is the preferred configuration when pilots comes to land, and take off. Unless of course, valks require zero maintenance which I find hard to believe. Again, I prefer to think them as tools of war and not magical rainbow eating super robots. Not sure why I am responding rationally to this guy, I must hate myself. On to the topic at hand, I wonder how much die-cast would be used as this valk is quite bulky.

    Yeah the main reason I got into Macross is because it's focused on fighter modes and dogfights, and not super robots giving each other beamjobs.

    You don't park your valk in gerwalk mode in the hangar, landing gear is important for display options. It's not just for landing .

    Just got into Star Trek Online (found a copy for $3) and it's actually quite decent now. Enjoying it immensely.

    Someone mentioned USD208

    Finally got my payment notice. They wouldn't ship without the poster due to "store policies" so only via EMS so that's 4000 yen just for shipping. This is the most I've paid for one valk so far(2 Sturmvogels), won't be buying more for a long time I'm sure. On the plus side, it'll be here soon enough! Sweet! It'll be a hard comparison, as they both do justice to their on screen counterparts.

    Still haven't gotten my invoice from amiami, /wring hands.
  12. raptormesh
    Whatever it is, I hope for no spring mechanism, as it will just introduce another point of failure plus it may rattle when you zoom in about in F mode.
  13. raptormesh
    Yeah still waiting for mine from Amiami as well grr. I might need to change shipping to EMS, as i'm going overseas in a month.
  14. raptormesh
    Yeah I might just ask them to keep the poster, too bad it isn't a mecha poster though.
  15. raptormesh
    Yeah, I'm not going to start collecting the 25 and the so many variants. Waiting for the VF-171 though.
  16. raptormesh
    Looks pretty, but i think there are a few perspective issues with that pic. Alto's hands for instance. And the fuselage looks a bit bent, but may just be me though .
  17. raptormesh
    Oh boy I'll bite as well.

    Barney Stintson: Challenge accepted!

    Yeah the fast packs looks really extraneous, pass.
  20. raptormesh
    The japanese version made a lot more sense to me.
  21. raptormesh
    You won't be disappointed ^^.
  22. raptormesh
    Repaint it black with red accents and call it an Angel of Death in deference to Messiah. Or the Reaper.
  23. raptormesh
    There won't be a nick of difference if they replaced all the mecha parts in IS with glowing feathers and rainbow ponies summoned out of nowhere.
  24. raptormesh
    The style would fit better if the kids pilots SD gundams. HEAD PILOT GOOOO! On a positive note, yes the lack of self loathing emo POS teens is good.
  25. raptormesh
    Wow! Thanks for the pics! Battroid mode is NASTY AWESOME.
