  1. I love my 1/48 low vis. My other 1/48s turned yellow though so I’m kind of sad about that.
  2. After being stuck in ISC Los Angeles since Jan 2nd, I finally received my VF-1J from Nippon Yasan today. I gotta say, I love the heft and stability on this thing. I have a question to those that already received it. In Gerwalk mode, I tried to attach it to base it came with but noticed the adapter doesn't seem to be fit tightly to bottom of the 1J. Am I doing something wrong? Are the two little tabs on the adapter suppose to go directly into into the holes next to the head's laser or just over it? I'm afraid to try inserting the tabs in fear of breaking them off. In fighter mode, when it's attached to the same base, I can pick up the entire thing, including the base, just by picking up the 1J. But now in Gerwalk mode, the 1J just detaches from the base when I try to pick it up. Edit: I'm referring to the regular base it comes with and not the limited edition one.

    Hi-Metal R

    Do you think they'll reissue the VF-1S Roy Focker or the Armored VF-1J?
  4. I like this guy's reviews. Alsways shows more details than other YouTubers I've seen. Ooohh.. he transformed it without removing the legs. Why does it seem like its a lot easier to transform than the Yamato 1/48?
  5. So does everyone have a place to store their DX VF-1J box(es) yet? I don't think I have room left in my closet. Maybe I'll use it as a foot stool or monitor stand.
  6. Those missiles are too expensive. I usually don't like knock offs but for accessories like those, I hope a 3rd party comes out with one.
  7. I just got my shipping notice from NY!
  8. Can't wait to get mine from NY. Unfortunately, 2019 already looks like an expensive year with Metal Build stuff and now this. No doubt more Tamashii exclusives will come out for the VF-1J. I can see Super Parts by Spring and Armor by Summer.
  9. I wasn't lucky enough to preorder from HLJ or AmiAmi when it was first announced so I ended up ordering one from Nippon Yasan. I knew I was going to pay a lot more for it and was fine with the cost, but tonight I just got an email from NY asking for $7 more for shipping because the package was larger than expected. Kind of unfair I think since they already charge a premium and got my payment already, but I really want the toy and don't want to hassle with getting a refund and buying from eBay. I don't even know where else to buy it from.
  10. I haven’t been keeping up on Macross toys lately. What’s the general consensus on the Bandai VF-31s and SV-262? Are any of them worth buying? Any problems with them? Is there going to be a renewal release? What’s a good price for one? Do they come with separate armor you have to buy? Sorry for for all the questions, I just need a quick crash course on these toys before I leave Tokyo.
  11. I think the gerwalk statue looks fine. This is going to probably be the most epic item from Macross/Robotech. Those Sideshow statues are highly collectible and go up in value quite a bit. Not to mention that this thing is almost 3 feet tall for Gerwalk mode, no wonder it’s $1500.
  12. I don't understand what she's saying, but the girl in yellow sounds funny. Is she a voice actress? The reactions she makes reminds me of an anime character.
  13. I'm all for new Macross toys, but this series was so bad that it needs to be buried and forgotten like those Atari E.T. cartridges.
  14. Kawamori's crazy for making a race with penises on their heads. And whats up with all the "wind" nonsense? It's like one bad fart joke after another.
  15. I keep seeing fixes for the loose hip joints, but was there a fix for the loose shoulder on the renewals?
  16. Anyone know if the reactive armor will be available separately only or will Arcadia provide a Valkyrie/armor set like they did with the VF-1J armored?
  17. Graham, you work too much! Take as much time as you need and I hope things get better for you.
  18. Has anyone gotten the new 1/60 VF-1J Hikaru Ichijyou yet? Can you confirm if it has the crappy pins or the smooth one? I really want to get a 1/60 Armored but have been scared away after hearing they were using old stock with bad pins. If the only way to avoid this is to buy the armor and valkyrie seperately, I'm willing to spend the extra bucks. *Edit* I just noticed theres also a new version of the VF-1J with armor parts. According to HLJ, the new part number is YMT00198 compared to the original which was YMT00176. Can anyone confirm if the new version has the smooth pins?
  19. It's only been 2-3 months and I wish I hadn't spent so much on the Bandai Macross Frontier valkyries.
  20. I recently purchased the GE-44 VF-25G Messiah Michael Custom. Everything was fine except for one piece from the display stand it came with was missing some parts that held it up on battloid mode. I also own the 7 VF-25S Armored Messiah Ozma Custom so I knew which piece was missing. This is from the GE-47 VF-25S Armored Messiah Ozma Custom and is what it should look like: This is what I got with the GE-44 VF-25G Messiah Michael Custom: Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on how I can get a replacement?
  21. If they comb their hair, does that mean their rubbing one out?
  22. Radeon 4770 or 4850 are comparable in performance. It also depends on how much video RAM you have on the card. A safe bet would be to go with the 4870 but then you need to make sure you have a compatible power supply.
  23. I don't know what big fuzz is about this model. I mean yes, it's huge, but it doesn't seem to have alot of detail. The Wave SDF has more details than this. Unless I'm not seeing the details well on the pics... But congratulations anyways to anyone that bought this...
  24. I got mine today. I must say that unlike the current problems with the VF-1# shoulders, this toy is amazing. I wish more Yamato figures were like it.
  25. I can't believe we spend so much money on these defective toys. Yamato has been doing this to us for a long time now and we keep coming back to spend more.
