scand Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I was just browsing the internet and found these. Are these guys legit? Macross Plus Kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Holy! Those are Wave's 1/100 resin Battroid kits or recasts. Normally goes for 12800 YEN ~ 125 USD. I just picked up a couple of kits just to fill in any holes in my collection. The originals are VERY NICE but I don't know about the recasts (says preorders). Lacking in decals but has nice panel lines and the resin is super smooth. Good price for a recast if they can get it 95% close to the original. If anybody wants the original Wave 1/100s YF-19 Battroid with FP or YF-21 with FP, let me know. I saw it around a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myersjessee Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 They show up with them on Ebay from time to time...I have not heard great things about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scand Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 They show up with them on Ebay from time to time...I have not heard great things about them. I saw these on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. They were in an Ebay store. I'm Thinking about trying them out that full armor vf-11 looks sweet.

scand Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Neova, What was the price you saw on the originals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 does that vf-11 have an extra mag on the back of its shield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhop Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 If those are Thai recasts, i'd stay away from them unless you enjoy pain and suffering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I'll post some pics of my kits when I get the chance. The VF-11D is the sound force variant from Macross 7. There is also a VF-11C from M7 (CF actually). I have the 1/72 Reptuu so didn't get Wave's small 1/100. I wish there was a way to scale these kits up to 1/72. Grayson72, are you still working on the supersizing resin kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I actually have the Hydrospan materials, was like 40 bucks for a whole bunch of it. Never got around to using it though cuz #1 I'd have to make a resin cast of the original piece which I've never done before and #2 I've never used the stuff before. I guess I'm just a big chicken.
