misterryno Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I didn't notice that either and I just tried it this morning. Neat!

misterryno Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 You wouldn't like misterryno when he's angry. (mysterryno, wear stretchier pants next time!) you wouldn't like me if I was hungry either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 you wouldn't like me if I was hungry either Well for me 'hungry' typically progresses quickly to 'angry', so I know what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterryno Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Well for me 'hungry' typically progresses quickly to 'angry', so I know what you mean. Same here. "all right lunch time! What do you mean we have a project due and I can't go to lunch right now! WHAT!!! NO!!!! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Same here. "all right lunch time! What do you mean we have a project due and I can't go to lunch right now! WHAT!!! NO!!!! " My wife is the same. We found out near the beginning of our relationship that most of our arguments/fights are due to us both being hungry, and as soon as we eat whatever we were fighting about becomes a non-issue. Now if things start to escalate we just make a quick decision on what/where to eat. Back on topic- I wonder if Yamato is going to make the trippy canopy a standard for every release or if they'll mix it up a little and release a few birds with crystal-clear canopies? Even though I like the effect I think I'd prefer my 1D with a clear canopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I like the effect I think I'd prefer my 1D with a clear canopy. I wondered the same....but I am thinking that they will stick to the rainbow effect. Yamato seems to have a way of sticking with things once it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yeah, I think the rainbow canopies are here to stay. They're quirky, and we all know how the Japanese love quirky stuff. I'm no fan of the rainbow canopy, but it don't bother me anymore since you can wash off the effect with some acrylic paint thinner. Thanks Kyp!

I'm no fan of the rainbow canopy, but it don't bother me anymore since you can wash off the effect with some acrylic paint thinner. Thanks Kyp! LOL..you're welcome, but as I said in that thread, I only did it because the left side edge of the left rear view mirror inside the cockpit rubbed off a small dot of the finish. But since I now have a clear canopy Roy 1S, I'm debating if I'm gonna have to do this to any other Valk I get to keep it consistant... Just be careful with how much the sides of those rear view mirrors rub the inside of the canopy, otherwise you're gonna have the same small dot rubbed off on yours too. -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, both skulls on my non fast pack Roy are so straight, that if they're off at all, it's beyond my ability to notice. And as detail-anal as I am, that's really saying something. Congrats Yamato, you've finally learned how to put the skulls on straight, too bad it took you over 5 years to get it right on the VF-1 series... -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdaniels Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) It doesn't seem too bad. The part that broke is the bottom yellow thing that you're supposed to pull the upper fin up from. Looks like I'll be able to glue it back in with little notice, but I'll never touch that thing again. Oddly enough, there's no mention of those fins in the manual at all.

If it's what I think you're saying it is, then that's no big deal. Just be sure that if you try to fold them that you pull the flap out then try folding it. It's really only for the full GPB battroid mode only armor as you'll need to be able to fold them for that. -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdaniels Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I voted the not perfect not broken option. The skull on the right tailfin seems to be double printed so theres like a blurred effect. Even though I broke the leg fin on my own, I sorta blame the manual since it literally covers every movable part on the thing except that.

Oh, that sucks A$$ man. You could tape off the tail fins and repaint the black part with Tamiya Flat black and use the skull stickers and then seal it with Tamiya dull coat to keep the stickers from peeling. Or, you could just Ebay it and get another one, but that would be kind of a pain in the ass too... I don't know what to tell you otherwise, if it was me that would bug the crap out of me to no end. -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Even though I broke the leg fin on my own, I sorta blame the manual since it literally covers every movable part on the thing except that. Did you read Graham's review? "However, a word of warning. The leg fins need to be gently pulled out a couple of mm (you'll hear a click when they are pulled out as far as they can go), before you try to fold them. Failure to extend the leg fins before folding them may resort in breakage" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdaniels Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Any warning you have on the feet? Because they really aren't coming out and I think I'm gonna break the legs trying to pry them out. Kinda sucks having a battroid that can stand up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
