Hello I bought a DX Renewal VF-25S that in now missing the back plate from when I purchased it... I would rather not spend another $300.00 if I don’t have to buy that looks like the only solution for now. It has likely been lost for days... If anyone have a spare Ozma renewal that they can sell for parts I’d appreciate it.

Hello I am looking for reasonably priced DX renewal valkyries from bandai. $350.00 Is my spending limit per valk. Please let me know if you have any you want to get rid of. Thank you.

I don't know about Luca, but I'm sure Micheal's scheme is super popular, especially with its throwback to Max's flying colors as well as being a sniper variant. Also, after investing so much in a mold, I'm sure Bandai will want to milk it for what it's worth, especially since both Luca and Micheal, outside of an extra sniper rifle and Radome/Fin, just have a different head....

Actually from what I see I beg to differ... While I love the design and scheme for both the luca and micheal models, the japanese public and others didn't seem to care for them as much. I can't tell you how many times I've looked online for frontier products looking for an ozma model and the only ones that are in-stock almost always is the micheal and luca models, and its usually more than one.

I do check the for sale and trade section now and then for good deals and I tend to see those releases still up for sale while the alto and ozma releases fly off the shelves. Its kinda a shame really because I do like these other models.

I have the ver 1.0 atm for both and even with all their flaws I love em and would never think of selling them unless maybe a ver 2.0 came out. That being said I don't think it's likely were going to see a ver 2.0 of these anytime soon due to the poor sales they seemed to have on the first run.

While I do like this model, the price point atm is a bit out of reach for me. Also the availability seems equally scarce. Most websites were already sold out the minute they were posted for pre-order.

This is another reason I wish bandai weren't so stingy with their production runs. At least with yamato you know there will enough available upon release. Which strikes me as odd because bandai is a much bigger company with all the other properties and merchandise they have already. They should realise by now that the macross brand is profitable and does sell, maybe not as much as gundam sales per say but they can still make considerable profit from this franchise.

I know Japanese companies don't like to take risks but this trend has been getting on the extreme end of things lately and not just for the toy industry...

Hmm, I have the YF-21 and although it is a pain to transform and I always feel like I'm gonna break it, since the joints and locking mechanisms are so tight. I in no way see a reason to release a v2.0 of the model. Its fine as is and is really meant as a display piece to be posed and transformed now and then. The proportions compared to the anime are just right IMO. I don't see how they can do better by making the legs thinner. Might make the toy too flimsy to pose no thanks.

The only improvement I think yamato could make it making the transformation process a bit less tedious. But if that is at the expense of transforming anime accurate than no way.

All PM's replied to!

Bump.

Prices lowered.

Hello I have some items that have gone unused in my collection that I wish to sell. I have two brand new yamato macross valkyrie stands. These are the original metal ones not the mighty block stands. They are in chrome silver color.

Yamato Macross Valkyrie Stand Silver x2 Asking price Sold!

Also in my possession are Two MG kits still in box that are unbuilt atm.

MG F91 Gundam asking price 45.00USD

MG Wing Zero Custom asking price 40.00USD

FYI the wing zero kit was only barely built its still practically a new kit I briefly started on the first page in the manual and didnt even finish. It still has all the other parts on the tree.

PRICES DO NOT include shipping. Shipping costs will vary based on location.

If anyone is interested Please PM me or post a reply thanks.

In the past I used to think the prices were more reasonable and could justify spending $250 to $280 on a valk but prices have been getting too ridiculous lately. All of the first releases at least came with a set of armored parts out of the box. You at least got your monies worth. I can't help but feel like bandai is trying to gyp us out of out hard earned money by just providing the bare minimum of accessories and making us pay through the nose for the super or armor parts by not boxing them with the figure itself...

Yeah I can see that it is a new mold and redesign and all but I really can't see them justifying this price point at all... I mean if you calculate the total amount of money were gonna have to spend on just one valk with all the accessories its well over 350 U.S dollars... That is just waay too much for any single toy IMO no matter how nice it may be... I can get a laptop that can play skyrim and all the latest games for that much at bestbuy right now... The armor parts are just plastic molds and in no way do they cost that much to make...

This is an obvious money grab that bandai is doing here and they're laughing all the way to the bank as long as we all keep buying this crap. This gets me really upset because I have seen the prices for their macross line inflate exponentially over the past 3 years and it is uncalled for IMO.

From looking at their gundam lineup I can't say the same... I Have been collecting most of their metal composite lineup since their debut and the prices have generally stayed the same all these years. You also get all the accessories boxed with the fig from the get go. You definitely feel you get your monies worth. With the macross lineup not so much... I feel like I just pay full price for just the figures and have to pay 150 plus for some plastic parts... its really absurd when you think about it...

If more people boycotted their products and were more vocal about it this would not still be an issue. For now I am disgusted with bandai and their business practices and plan on boycotting all their future macross releases as long as they keep doing this crooked crap... I encourage everyone here to do the same... At least with yamato you still get everything you need for the valk out of box... This crap is getting out of hand bandai...

I'll take that HT war machine off your hands just let me know ASAP!

I was looking into this thread myself recently and it really got me thinking. Yamato really needs to give us more options regarding stands here because right now our choices are rather limited IMO.

The products that exist for the most part are ok. The launcher arms stands are of great quality but are waay too expensive for a stand IMO. The other recent offerings were a little better price wise but they're not sturdy enough for more extreme poses. Many ppl buy stands just for that reason as well, if Graham or anyone out there are listening I think it's a good idea that they provide some more options for stand products.

Just my two cents but I most likely would not buy another rehash of a VF-1J if I had one already. One of each piece is good enough for me as long as its noticeably different from other models and this doesn't look that different IMO.

I prefer the movie and TV series renditions any day over this sculpt anyway.

Have you tried Overdrive?

Thanks for the link I'm gonna try it out and see what happens.

Hello I recently lost a rocket piece for my 1/60 VF-0S that goes on the wing. I'm in the process of looking for it atm but just in case I never happen to find it does anyone have a spare rocket peice they're willing to sell?. Please PM or reply.

I just saw this movie over last weekend and thought it was great. One of the best action movies I've seen in a very long time. Here's hoping for a sequel.

I went to my local hobby shop and they have the Chogokin Kahen Senshi Zeta Gundam toy. Just wondering, is it any good? For some reason, the matte finish makes it look cheap.

Its actually a very good toy. There isn't a zeta figure quite like it that can do perfect transformation as well as maintain sturdiness and playability. It's really a masterpiece of engineering. The toy is made of high quality ABS plastic and die-cast metal for the joints and legs. The transformation is flawless and the poseability is good.

You don't really have to worry about breaking it unless you really put some force on the figure when posing it. I've droped mine on a hard floor before and nothing broke.

If you want a zeta figure that you can play with without it breaking on you this is it. Only con is that it doesn't have a stand and can be sometimes hard to put in a standing action pose. Other than that it's a great figure with no major flaws.

Well for all those who are having issues with your xbox 360 your now in luck. The new model of the 360 is now being sold in stores today. It feature's a built in 250gb hard drive and built in WI-FI support. The hardware has been totally revamped too to insure your system will never red ring or overheat even after 5 straight years of use.

The exterior design of the new system has been slimmed down as well and this time it it runs quieter than before. If you have the money to spare I suggest you invest in it so you wont have anymore issues in the future.

Heres a link for more info.

My coworkers make fun of me, and call my 1/6 scale figures as "dolls" or "man dolls". One in particular is a figure that I was hoping Hot Toys, Medicom or Takara would make; what I would call Young Solid Snake - Shadow Moses Version. So far no word and I've only seen the Old Snake from MGS4. I've been working on this for a while, taking pieces here & there, and I think it's about 80% done without weathering. I still need the "box", claymores, Nikita launcher, ketchup bottle, rope, silken hankerchief, camera, PAN & PAL key cards, and mine detector.

I've inquired about tailoring help from Tactical Tailor but I guess they do not make 1/6 scale clothes for toys, LOL. The funny thing is that I see the logos on Soldier Story boxes. If you guys know of tailors who specializes on 1/6 clothes let me know. I'm looking for materials similar to the Chris Redfield vest.

What do you guys think?

Well you pretty much got everything right except for the face. It's a little too japanese looking for the character, it doesnt match the lineart much at all and doesn't really resemble big boss or solid snake like it should. If you can do a recast or sculpt of the face that matches the character it would be perfect IMO.
