Swooshiex Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I know that there are three different colors: grey, black, silver. But I noticed that the box designs differ. Which are the latest versions and do they differ from the earlier versions? Any pictures? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightCastle Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I second that. I just got a few Yamato 1/60 models (primarily have been a Bandai collector) and need to get a few stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GXPT2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Speaking of stands from Yamato... although a bit off topic, how are the Mighty Block Stands from Yamato? they seem to be very cheap from HLJ.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF18 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) The launch arm stand had four versions. Original greenish gray, reissued a few times: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10139388 Black: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10048004 Silver: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10048005 Dark blue: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10114747 Main problem with this stand is very high center of gravity with no hinge at the top, so it cannot hold the unit safely at extreme angles. They also made a smaller "Mighty block" stand: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10088025 Main problem with this stand is the hinges are not strong enough without some simple modification, and it is not tall enough for most battroid mode VF. Original YF-21 and all Sv-51 came with a very good stand, but it is not compatible with the stand adaptors in other VFs. Speaking of stands from Yamato... although a bit off topic, how are the Mighty Block Stands from Yamato? they seem to be very cheap from HLJ.. They only have the "display base" left. They are just little shelves, no arm. Edited April 9, 2013 by CF18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaitouSad Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 lol whats the point in that...might as well get the tamashii stages. Does the Tamashii stages even work for the Yamato 1/60 Valks? I would think even the stage 5 can't hold those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXPT2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Does the Tamashii stages even work for the Yamato 1/60 Valks? I would think even the stage 5 can't hold those. nope. just saying that if you ar buying a useless "block", it is even better to buy tamashii stages.... you can try holding it up with the whole pack of 3 stands, but I doubt some people would have the guts to do that...

Gakken85 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Can't believe these thing sare selling for 100 bucks. Sad that the hobby is so hard up for decent stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitouSad Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I know right?I've been looking for alternatives, and even considering those flight stands for planes, but can't find anything remotely decent.The closest we'll get is the Shapeway Adapters for Gundam bases, but even those have certain limits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
