    Is he still doing that Warhammer project?

    I don't get it. I stopped collecting any of the Macross toys above the VF-1 when I had so much disappointment in the VF-25 series. This VF-31 just looks weird to me, especially with that large back sticking out like that.

    frakk I'm getting old. So many people from my childhood memories are dying lately.

    Do you know if that figure breaks up into the five lions or is it just a highly poseable figure?

    I know there are sites like Buyee that lets you buy from Yahoo Auction Japan but I've never used them before. How much does it cost in fees and shipping usually for something like a DX Chogokin Valkyrie to ship to California?

    I just saw the movie and I was surprised how much I liked it. A lot of fan service and some great scenes with Megatron.

    I'm not a fan of those large gaps between the intake on the legs and the chest piece in Valkyrie and Gerwalk mode. That Tomahawk armor is interesting though.

    I think it looks cool even though its not anime accurate and a parts-former. I've never had any Moshow figures before though so I'm just weary of the quality.

    Hi-Metal R

    I love the HMR toy line simply because of the Destroids and Zentradi figures. I wonder if they'll do Macross Plus or Frontier next once they're finished with the SDFM and DYRL toys next. I would love to see some of the updated Destroids from Frontier.

    How often do they get restocked? I wonder if they have a preordering system for new stock comes in.

    Oh you're supposed to slide one over the other to close it properly. I didn't know until after I read the instructions over again. The only gap that stays open are those cable holes.

    Can someone tell me what this is worth? The box is in good condition with no tears. The only issues the toy are 1) the knee joints are loose from having a wide space in-between the teeth of the ratcheting gears they used for it, 2) a small nick inside the bottom half of the heat shield from having to fish it out to raise it up, 3) a small crack on one of the nek cavity filler. Otherwise all the other joints are good and the nick doesn't show up in front when it's in Battloid mode.

    Hey guys, just wanted to share some pictures of this new Branboll hangable display cabinets from IKEA. They fit the 1/48 DX Chogokins pretty well vertically, and can probably fit a couple smaller figures horizontally. They’re only $30 and come in white or blue. There's even little cutouts on each inside corner to let you run wiring for lighting. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/braennboll-wall-mounted-display-cabinet-white-40586527/

    Does Kaiyodo have any plans of rereleasing the Macross Revoltech figures?

    I just finished selling off the last of my Metal Build collection to focus on Macross. Then my friend buys me a GFFMC Zaku II out of the blue for my birthday. I feel like a jerk if I ask to exchange or sell the figure so now I have to pair it with a RX-78-02 to appease my OCD. That Gouf looks pretty awesome too though.

    I haven't had issues with the rotating swing bar but I'm not a fan of the buttons on the legs. I thought the buttons were a cool idea at first but now that I've transformed it several times, its more of a nuisance when you're trying to extend/contract the legs while you're holding the toy up. You also can't twist the knee unless the legs are extended.

    I just want them to fix the blurry scenes.
  18. rsvictor1976
    I thought there was that wall of text explaining how the SDF was in a battle with Zentradj, etc
  19. rsvictor1976
    Just my iPhone 14. It doesn’t look yellow on my screen but it may also be lighting from the my monitor in front of it.

    Thanks for the tip, I managed to close the gap.

    I was able to get one from a local shop here in SoCal, Maybang Collectibles, at regular MSRP. Overall, its pretty good but I have a few concerns. It lacks any ratcheting joints so it may not hold poses very well in the future. The hardpoints under the wings only attach the missiles with pressure. It isn't like Yamato toys that click into place. The display stand doesn't lock the toy into place like the DX Chogokins do and the toy simply rests on the appropriate adapter. The stand will hold the toy in battroid and fighter mode okay, but it doesn't do too well in gerwalk and could topple over if too much weight is shifted forward. ThreeZero did a good job with the paint and detail application. I didn't see any overpaint or blurry lines on the unit that I got. The toy is hefty with a lot of the weight at the legs making it easier to stand. In my opinion, the Bandai DX Chogokins are still a better toy and I admire them in my display cabinet while I have this one on my desk to play around with. At $150 AND comes with a 1-year warranty in North America, it's a great option for someone just starting a collection or doesn't want to spend too much.

    So who's getting the popcorn bucket from AMC tomorrow?
  23. rsvictor1976
    It looks like the "Popoye" version of a Valkyrie with those beefy arms and legs.
  24. rsvictor1976
    Mine is gonna stay in Battloid form because I'm too afraid to try changing it back with how stiff those leg ball joints are.
  25. rsvictor1976
    Will that work in the U.S. for the premium web shot exclusives like the VT-1?
