He wanted to see that part circled in red???
-
LOL, shitty plastic... Good one...
-
Best is to mix and match... 2x2.5" rods + 1x4" rod... 2x4" + 1x6"... You get the picture...

Nice! 1/60 Regult vs. VF-1s look awesome. -
Translation: sh!t! I want this but i already spent too much on my titty statue addiction...

Unless you're a person who can settle for a lower quality product, i guess a v1 is okay for $50 imo. But if you're like me and have seen the v.2 Ostrich, there will be a feeling of regret everytime you look at your v.1 Ostrich. I'm glad i got mine when i did when it was easily available and at its lowest price (and i'm also glad i got original replacement hinges) coz even if Arcadia releases this, i don't think i'd be happy paying the JPY20,000-25,000 that they are gonna ask for it, even if it comes with a stand and option parts (w/c i don't need coz my Ostrich only transforms between Fighter and Half-GERWALK).

Happened to my 11B too last year. The easiest way to avoid this is to push the cockpit part up and the main body down when unlocking this tab. I fixed mine by cutting a small grey piece of plastic from a discarded sprue tree. While it is relatively small, it's still bigger than the piece that broke off. I then super glued this to the broken tab and filed it until it was about the same shape and size as the original tab. It's stil holding up fine... I'll try to take a pic later...

Ditto. It's still pretty easy to sell the VF-1 v.2 Yamatos for it's acquisition price these days as long as it's mint even if displayed (provided you were able to buy them when they were ~$100 back in the day). This is due to the inflation of not just Macross toys but pretty much all collectible toys. But i understand why some collectors are concerned about the value of their collections since it's always at the back of their minds to one day sell their collection and expect to make a profit.

nvm
-
Anybody know what these are?
-
Plus (pun intended) displaying the YF-19 and YF-21 with similar stands will look much better imo. Now i'm thinking i need one more stand for the 11B... w/c means one more VF-1 ... I would go for a VF-1D VR, stealth or lowvis like the 1/48 style LV1.
-
I may have to get me one of these so i can get the stand and use it for the YF-19... and my DYRL Roy is pretty beat up already (more than 50 transformations, paint chips etc.), so this'll be a good chance to update the collection.
-
Looking really fine!... and f*cking expensive! Gonna have to just close my eyes and not think about the price when i buy this. Looks like it's not gonna get a stand like the Arcadia VF-1s... hope they include stand adapters for this to mount on those stands included with the VF-1 releases. If these are like the YF-21 stand, the attachment point of the adapter should be circular. EDIT: looking at the VF-1S Hikaru pic on the other thread, it looks like it'll work using that extra tubular piece. Between this and any all new valk, i'm hoping Arcadia can squeeze in a Hikaru VF-4 repaint...
-
Lol, and i thought that was your own MP Vehicle Voltron you were posting pics of... I'm still on the fence... but here's a video made by our local distributor for this MP Voltron saying "improvements" are being made for the supposed "version 2" that's coming out this August (kinda like that sh!t that Takara pulled with MP9)... He also mentioned that this is an officially licensed Voltron product...
-
Yay! Removable intake covers! ...i see Arcadia has a copy of Bandai's new VF-1 kit... Probably just for some in-house sh1ts and giggles.

Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann

What dislocated knees???...what i can't unsee is its dislocated pen!s... errr crotch.... errr nosecone. -
It's purpose is for the transformation, not really for added articulation. V.2 VF-1 has them, most Bandai DXs have them... It's the one thing i miss when changing the pose of my 11B trying to mimic the poses i can do with my v.2 VF-1s. But hey, like i said, mine's gonna stay mostly in fighter mode since i'm expecting it to be shorter in b-mode.
-
I was thinking the same thing... But i'm hoping Arcadia will surprise us... Yeah, better ankles... and double-jointed elbows... and 1-2 more notches for the GERWALK thigh joint please!!!
-
I get where you're coming from... Assuming the transformation of Arcadia's YF-19 is the same as Yamato's VF-19s, then the 19 and 21 (& 11B too) will be closely in-scale in Fighter and GERWALK modes... In battroid mode though, the new 19 will be severely drawfed by the 21 toy... Which is why i'm keeping my old YF-19, to display in b-mode while the new sleeker, no-gullet 19 will be in f-mode.
-
Any indication yet if this'll have removable intake covers or not?
-
At least the scalpers don't get your money... Arcadia does. And if it'll help them continue making Macross products and make more of your Macross dreams come true, i'll continue buying their products.
-
You're just jealous i got first dibs! Btw Arcadia, you can start planning the release of a TV version SDF-1 since this new YF-19 is in the pipeline.
-
This'll be my new avatar until the real thing comes out.
-
Technically, this was released as a low vis, not stealth... But it's understandable to get confused, with the color they used for this... I still don't get it though... If Arcadia will "reissue" this (if they are going to be able to reissue any Yamatos at all) they should make it a proper low vis... Then make a proper stealth variant.
-
Best Macross news i've heard in quite a while. I've gotta save up for this... I have a feeling this is going to be expensive.
