ron5864 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) Im lovin that TV VF-1S ron, very nicely done! Now only if yamato would make one..... Yamato should have made the TV version of Max's VF-1A too, in 1/48 scale. The one where he disguised in a Zentraedi uniform and threw Breetai out of his own ship. He shot down Miria inside the SDF-1 with another VF-1A .That's easy to repaint and would sell well. Edited March 30, 2008 by ron5864 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossMan Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 TOTALLY COOL!!! THANKS mate! After all the searching and what not, I ended up canceling my original order because I found a vendor on Ebay with the 14" panels for 16 cubes at a cheaper price. I think I will even bypass building a base for the display since I have found those on some other sites. I also found a site that sells the hinges so that you can create doors for each cube. There's a glass maker in my area that can that can create glass in any dimension so I will provide them with the proper dimensions to create doors. It's just a matter figuring out how I want to congiure this thing. I hope to have pictures posted this weekend if it arrives some time this week. I think this is an awesome and affordable display for us guys that do not have an Ikea store near by. I plan on buying pre-made bases. According to their pre-made measurements they match up to the measurements of the cube displays and my office furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossMan Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 My latest acquisition. Hikaru's VF-1A DYRL. Copped this off of Ebay for $80.00 shipped with a few decals applied and a missing gun strap. Decent deal. I'm going to leave this one out until my glass arrives next week for my display. Got word today that it's scheduled to arrive on the 9th or the 10th so it will be next Saturday when I build my display for all my Valkyries.

MacrossMan Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 nice. Looks like he gave you the VF-1J hikaru pilot though. I did not notice that, but I haven't seen DYRL either. I wanted to rip into this guy and leave bad feedback and all because he said the thing was in excellent condition, but it wasn't. I had to clean the thing up and reattach one of the wing flaps. It was only 80 bucks so I didn't feel too bad. I see why some members refer to Ebay as Evilbay or Fleabay for that matter. I don't think the guys collecting here would be misleading about the condition of an item and even swap pilots. In my feedback I stated I couldn't complain price wise because there was plenty I could have complained about. Now I have one more complaint in reference to the wrong pilot. I think I will email this guy with a list of my complaints. Will make me feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you got a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossMan Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 The wing flaps come of very easily and a little dust shouldn't hurt the value of a toy. Sounds like you got a good deal. For the price it wasn't a bad deal, I just wish the description had been more forthcoming because I would not had bid on it. I would have gladly paid $40.00 more for a brand new one which is the going rate these days. Fortunately the seller has agreed to send the correct pilot and gunstrap which do hurt the value of the toy after receiving the email below. Thanks for the info ******. The Valkyrie arrived yesterday. Although I do not agree the toy was in excellent condition I did leave positive feedback. There's a stain on the left leg of the fighter that I have tried to remove as best I could. A piece just below the left side of the cockpit appears to have been glued back in place. The remaining decals indicate that some were applied to another fighter, or either the wrong "used" decal sheet was added to the box; there's no U.N. SPACY decal for the gunpod that is missing it's gunstrap. A wing flap was missing from the fighter and fortunately it was included and I was able to re-attach it. The arms are loose and stickers have been applied and some are in poor condition. I have not transformed the fighter and may just leave it in fighter mode as I am afraid what transforming it might reveal. Most disappointing is that the pilot belongs to Hikaru's VF-1J plane from SDF: Macross and not DYRL. I am hoping this is a mix up and that maybe you can send the correct pilot and I send this one back. I would have asked questions before the auction, but when the description stated the toy was in "excellent" condition I was lead to believe none of the above would apply. If you have the correct pilot and gunstrap please let me know as I would greatly appreciate having these for the fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossMan Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 How would you anchor these glass display shelves to a wall so you don't have to worry about them tipping over, especially in earthquake country Cali? That's a good question sidearmaslpha. I could see that being a problem in Cali. Fortunately it's not a problem in my area. I decided to go back to my open face design I had planned on going with originally. I plan on setting my cubes up along the top of the shelves in my office. Although my son knows how to handle my fighters, I want them out of reach for when we have young visitors over. Can you imagine a house full of 6 year old boys over for a sleep over having these "Transformers" right in their reach? I ordered some 1" thick styrofoam planks to provide some extra support underneath because there's about 2" of depth on top of the cabinets. The weight of the glass should smooth everything out pretty evenly. Once it's built I should have about 4" on either side of the display on top and about 6-8" above. I'm really looking forward to getting this in place as I think it's going to be an excellet and cheaper alternative for displaying our stuff. Should have mine on the 9th or 10th and will build it this coming weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for something "alien" to go with the theme of most of the cartoons we watch and this is what I came up with. I saw this pic some time ago and saved it because his face was so damn funny. If >EXO< surprised everyone at the Macross Convention with the Thunder Hammer kit for sale and had the avatar's face, we wouldn't be thinking about the dangling balls hanging from his chin...we'd just want to shake his hand in grattitude as he pondered upon his chin deep in thought on the next great project. It's a face only a Macross lover could appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossMan and I are friends from way back - we haven't seen each other in years, and we ended up sending one another a couple of 'recent photos.' I thought MacrossMan would be more sensitive to my medical condition than to post in in public (born with my penis up my throat) - but I guess we live in a creul, creul world...
