sorry to hear this, man... guess i'll be modding the hinge pins on my 1J after all... @len - just a suggestion... if you're planning to fix that cracked hinge, you could get the pin out first and sand it before super-gluing the crack. to be on the safe side, still put some oil/lubricant coz i've tried pushing it out w/out any lube, and the pin wouldn't budge and the crack might worsen if it's forced. good luck fixing it.

nice! i wish i could paint...

cool... inggit ako! ...except for the clothes hanger, LOL!

i'm waiting too... for any of these things to happen: 1) Bandai announcement for a Renewal ver. or Movie ver. w/ improvements 2) indication that this will be the first and last VF-25 mold that Bandai will do and lock away the Frontier license forever 3) if standalone VF-25's go on sale for $100 or less and Super Packs become non-exclusive items 4) a miracle happens and Yamato does a 1/60 VF-25 that resembles and has the aesthetic qualities of the 1/72 model kit 5) or if my doctor tells me i have 2-3 years left to live i'm lucky that i have convinced myself that i can go on living w/out a DX VF-25... for the time being

you are lucky... i guess that can happen if you can ask the online store to make the shipment's docs state that it has no commercial value or they're used or just samples. i've heard of someone who paid customs around 500-700 for a single revoltech fig!

i wish my wife would already buy that damn DLSR that she's been gawking at for the past couple of months! Great pics as always Vegas!

problem with ordering outside the PH is that you'll be gouged by customs... + 12-15% of your total bill (shipping included)!... or lagay.

don't worry about the dec. re-issue VF-0S bro... the guy i get it from in HK said there's a lot of stock left and there's no need to worry about it getting sold out... i'm pretty sure GT will get their stocks soon. if i'm right it will be priced around P8,500 (less discount if paid in cash), same as the 0A mr. Fatalist bought.

LMFAO! hahaha... oo nga eh! uwi ka naman dito!

360 grit sandpaper (tira tira lang ) , against a hard surface.

naibalik ko na sa Valk yung hinges. the only pics i have are the ones with the pin halfway out a few pages back. they still look the same when reinserted. but i made sure to sand it to at least the same diameter (if not less) as the rest of the smooth section of the pin. i'll try to take pics when i do the hinges for my 1J, my hands are a little sore pa coz it's a bit hard to push out the pin and be careful not to break it at the same time.

i reinserted the pins by pushing it vertically straight down against the middle of my precision longnose pliers but i guess any hard object will do.

he lives!!!! absolutely superb twilight shot! LOL!!! "UN SPANCY"!

my hikky 1J pilot is in my 1S (together w/ the TV FPs) since you don't really need a pilot figure when the valk is in battroid mode... and my 1/60 1J will stay in battroid for the time being waiting for his GBP armor.

better fix it before it gets worse...

i meant sad for Simon... he didn't get to use his other drill on Nia...

the squashed heads for one.

but they look so much better when they're not...

na-skip kita siguro dun sa Pinoy MWers thread ... back to english baka magalit mods... now i also have no more worries getting more of these v.2 VF-1's and according to Graham, Yamato will be flooding us w/ lots of them. Good times indeed for Macross Fans!

so far i've done 4 hinges and posed and transformed (i tried to be as rough as i can)... no signs of cracking and no more stress marks. "pare"... you're "pinoy"? if so "walang anuman" (translation - you're welcome.)

weathered Hikaru 1S for me.

Viral got all the remaining lifespans of all the beastmen that died...

this is the only 1A that's been done that i wan't... of course if they come out w/ a non-exclusive 1/60 Max TV 1A , i'd get that too weathered 1/60 valks for regular folks like us would be great too. $300-500 for weathering a valk is something i would never pay for.

hope the 1D comes out by valentine's day

good news for MISB collectors...
