  1. The SV-51 is one of those older valks of mine that i've always thought of selling (coz my wife doesn't like it) but never can... As a rule of mine, i prohibit myself from buying enemy mecha... a way to limit my toy spending ). But the SV-51's design, esp. in fighter mode, is just so badass i always end up convincing myself that i need a physical representation of it in my collection. Congrats on the purchase... Can't wait to see pics when you're done customizing it.
  2. Graham gave out a ton of VT-1 no-gnerl hinges he got from Yamato for free... I figured that was when people started buying out the remaining VT-1s and it sold out. I got a pair of the cream colored ones for mine and a few white ones for $2. That was like ages before shapeways fix came out.
  3. Reserve it for when you get a Max DYRL VF-1.
  4. all valks in fighter looks nice and clean Yes... Kicker has everything! I suddenly had an urge to display my SDF-1 in cruiser mode. i still like my old, more symmetrical set-up better. I'll probably switch back to it when I get tired of my SDF-1 in its current mode.
  5. First time i've read through this thread coz it seemed pretty obvious that it's going to be 1/60 all the way... It's funny though, everything that's being said here is pretty much exactly what people were saying way back in '08 during the initial release of the 1/60 v.2 VF-1s.
  6. I'd like to see what it looks like without all those decals.
  7. You can a better pose for Max and the 1J by bending the elbow a bit more... They're double-jointed Haha, i remember the time when i only had 1 cab and those 3 VF-1S valks (and a few other things)... It's always great to see other members' growing collection pics (not just text...). My collecting has been severely slowed down due to limited space and funds... Now i only have old pics to share...
  8. Duh, they're talking about Toynami being a US distributor only. v2 VF-1 is perfect as it is, no need to design anything. I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't mind paying less for a rebranded v.2 VF-1, or even VF-19s etc. yeah, Toynami Cyclones and Hasbro's MPs come to mind. You can always buy the more expensive Japanese import if you like... Choices are good...
  9. Awesome news... Thanks Save. I'm glad i didn't go crazy panic buying... Just $250 for 2 x 30th SSP and a 30th 1S. Now i can look forward to maybe buying a few more valks in the near future with some peace of mind not having to deal with scalped prices and crazy preorders. But i doubt we'll see reissues of the more obscure VF-1s since Yamato before only reissued the main characters' valks (there's hope for M&M 1Js for those who missed out!). I hope i'm wrong and i can get an Arcadia VF-1D VR, ha!
  10. 2009 VF-0S reissue (w/ extra bubble wrap for the tail fins) and the VF-0A that comes in a new box are pretty solid. I'd have to agree with chronocidal... i have no problems in terms of the design of the VF-0 toys, just needs more durable plastic/s. IMO, the design of the VF-0 is more similar to the v.2 VF-1s than the 1/48s. The only thing it may need to accommodate reactive armor are foldable leg fins. So yeah, I vote YF-19 renewal first.
  11. Ditto. Sold my v.1 last year... Kinda got bored with the 27's design... even with the improvements, the new pics don't do anything for me. Wish I hadn't seen the movies and all that moe... really made me lose interest in MF.
  12. This is still going on?!? Craaazzzzy! Seeing these absurd prices/auctions actually makes me want to hold on to my Yamatos even more.
  13. Not too worried about the decals... I believe they're just that, decals/stickers for customizing. Too many stripes though. I get the homage to Focker, Hikaru and Max (Fokarius valk???), but... Thank god there's no green stripe though... Kaki gets no love yet again
  14. Nice. I really like valks done in grey, like the VF-X. Plus the low vis kite looks really good on it.. wish Yamato's VF-1 kits were made grey instead of white. I would've bought some if they did. Is that your custom valhary?
  15. Yeah, 1/60 YF-19 v.2, 1/60 VF-1 Stealth and real low-vis, 1/60 FB2012 VF-4 in that order. Oh, and 1/3000 SDF-1 TV...
  16. Where's the preorder button...
  17. Late '08/early '09 hikaru 1S bundled set. Came after Roy 1S set and Hikaru 1S and 1j sets, iirc. I still have that box (only)... Sold the contents separately and upgraded with the 30th anniv. release.
  18. first thing you should do is loosen the screw by the right metal hip bar... or this might happen to your YF-19 - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35649&p=1038990
  19. Congrats... Awesome haul. Love those old flip-top boxes... love the VT-1.
