Losing interest in this show. Loved it, but episodes with Lucy the giant butterfy, and the Cats ongoing clumsiness to begin the plot is annoying me.

Yeah, me too. Good thing there's that Tron show and Legend of Korra...

Just finished watching the first ep. Looks very promising. I'll definitely be following this series.

I hope we get to see Olivia Wilde's character and it'll resemble her just like how Flynn/CLU resembles Jeff Bridges.

Just got my YF-29 ... Aside from being a little bit dirty(oil) and some light scratches on the wings, its all good. Checked the wing and crotch hinges and everything seems to be ok. With the way the price of the YF-29 keeps on going up, i'm gonna keep this pristine and in fighter mode.

Now to figure out how to get a VF-25G...

Here's my current collection except for the Queadluun-Rau Max which I had in another cabinet.

i finally get to see your collection. Very nice set-up! Reitarded na reitarded...

heres my pathetic collection

If that's pathetic then my collection is crap!

Awesome cramped display... Next only to frogze insane display (and maybe also ruski's)...

Yeah, more pics of your collection!

That's a pretty funky pose you did for your 25F ...and it's amazing how the VF-0S dwarfs the 25s.

I can't wait for Bandai to be done with these so I can get back to collecting Yamatos.

Haha, QFT... this is exactly what i'm thinking. i've been holding out but have my sights on the 17D, 19P and VF-4 (if i'll like the scheme and if i can afford it)... I just want this 25G after i get my 29 next week, then i'm done (unless a CF 171 comes along). I don't think i'll even bother with the super packs.

scalpers got 'em.

... time to preorder at ishop2go.

yeah +1 for the CF if i'm ever going to get a 171. i'm trying to stay away from white valks from now on...

thanks for the replies about the price... the local seller where i made a tentative preorder from gave me some BS about having to increase the price a little coz of the difficulty to acquire the YF-29 due to the supply shortage. I guess i'll go ahead and get it since the price is pretty much the same as everywhere else (approx. $216 converted from our local currency).

The one's who got in on Amiami's preorder probably got the best deal, but i just can't see myself ordering online anymore since our local customs are very strict nowadays... last order i made from HLJ i got hit with a $20 tax charge.

...still, anybody who got a YF-29 with this reissue run should count themselves lucky since this is probably the last time this is going to be produced... unless Bandai makes Ozma's YF-29 (that would probably be even harder to acquire at MSRP).

This wouldn't be MW without complaining, so let the bitching begin! ...

i'd love to hear what you have to say about the DX VF-27 now.

Looks good. This is the one that i've been waiting for to partner w/ my armored Klan. This'll be my first v.2 too... if Bandai stops with the fcuk ups...

Just curious... How much are you guys paying for this YF-29 reissue (including s/h)?

Holy sh*t, 5 out of 200? That's insane BULLSH!T.

it's been a while since i bought anything Macross and i actually sold off a few in the last year. This is the first time in months i've paid any attention to my toys, so might as well take a pic of my Macross TV collection since i just got an updated VF-1D w/c i've been waiting for for a few years now. (also posted pic of my DYRL collection i posted a while back).

...still haven't painted my Fan Racer, haha

oh, and one more thing, the neck looks so much better with the updated crotch... not too much collar showing (for those who bitch about the head placement of the v.2 VF-1s being grossly lineart inaccurate )

A lot easier, actually. But yeah, it’s not like the old system was awfully difficult…

Easy enough to slide in, but a real pain to take out... And because it was difficult to take out, scratching the paint off of the metal hinge was more likely to happen.

^ yup, shoulders are good, crotch is updated and canopy isn't tinted.

I was hoping that the visors on the head would be a brighter green just like on the TV 1S Focker that i have.

As for my own question... The seats from the option parts are glued so you can't have the single seat config. popping out of the neck of the 1D... Gotta get that from one of the single-seater reissues w/ option parts.

So it was you who got it. I just asked this morning about the stock and there was none left. Luckily, I still passed by and they just had a new delivery of it.

Hehe, yep. I just took a chance too and dropped by the store... With so much inventory there, its better to check their stocks yourself. Its great that they restocked and you got one since its sold out everywhere else or prices are jacked up. I hope they reissue Hikaru's VF-1A (w/ option parts) since that's the only DYRL valk i want that i haven't gotten yet.

Just got mine a while ago. My fourth VF-1 v.2 and my first twin-seater. My first non-Max too.

Congrats on your first 2-seater vince... Got mine too a few days ago from GT Alabang. The option parts are pretty cool.

ever since Yamato updated the crotch attachment for their 1/60 VF-1s i've been waiting for an updated VF-1D, so technically I didn't double-dip ... plus all my other TV VF-1s have the updated crotch.

The option parts that are included are a definite plus since you could only previously get these as a Wonderfest exclusive. I too would only get any of these new VF-1s (where's the Stealth!) IF they came with the option parts... and i won't be double-dipping on any of the other re-issues w/ option parts esp. since i got most of my standalone VF-1s for $90 or less.

it's a shame it took Yamato 4 years to include the side and neck covers plus the seats... something that we wanted from the start.

Are the new Cavalier, Alaska Base and new Valks not being released with option parts?

Why would they not be? Does Yamato really hope to re-release Alaska Base 1A someday with option parts?

Never underestimate these toymakers' ability to make you double dip...

Awesome pics!

I'm late to the party again as usual, but i still managed to just get one today for a fairly decent price ($128) considering this is my fave valk of all time, this sold out pretty quick, and the only way now to get an updated 1/60 VF-1D is with the upcoming kit.

I haven't had time to open mine yet, but could somebody share if the seat parts are glued together or can be taken apart (to display with just one seat)?

Yay! Finally, a VF-1D reissue... I've been wanting to get a 2nd unit for a couple of years now.

Well, just bit the bullet and ordered one of those Rand Masterpiece Cyclones from evilbay. I would have prefered a Japanese Beagle, but the only ones I can find on evilbay HK are going for insane prices.

Graham

love my Rand Cyclone...

not from HLJ, but great deal nonetheless (for those who still don't have this)

Just saw episode 4 online and it's offical: I LOVE GUNDAM UNICORN MORE THAN MACROSS FRONTIER!!!!

i have to agree that i'm liking how this is going compared to the MacF movies (i prefer the MacF TV series)... i just hope it doesn't have an ending that's similar to the 00 movie.

...The action scenes made me buy some Gundam swag

glad i got these when i did -
