yeah I have seen them around before but never blinked an eye at them as I didn't have any 1:48 Valks.. but now having 3 of them I wouldn't mind expanding the line up a little!

I'd absolutely LOVE to get Hikaru's VF-1J with the super parts!

Did you have any issues with your individual bots? I just got my G1 V2 box set in too and concrete is assembled wrong in one area, and another bot has two left arms so he can't go to alt or limb mode. Nothing too terrible, BBTS already has me covered on replacement parts, but that was a bit lame out of the box. Also, are the joints on yours overall stupid tight? I spent over an hour loosening screws on all of my bots to get them to a better place, everything was way, way too tight. Overall I love the set, but I just know FansToys is going to officially announce and show off their version within a month since I just bought this guy. And I don't ever, ever picture Takara making an MP combiner, the logistics of it just don't make sense for them, much easier for a third party to pull of in my opinion.

Everything was fine on my copy, only the combiner ratchets on the arms were very dificult to move. Aside from that its pretty good. My only complaint is that he leans a little bit to the right in combined mode. I had to wedge in a piece of plastic from a Gundam runner to get him to stand completely straight. 

What was assembled incorrectly on your Concrete?

Im gonna pass on FansToys.. im not liking what theyve put out recently, and they will probably try to go with perfect transformation which IMO for a combiner this big is a mistake. Gravity Builder is all wobbly and Long Haul ends up with weird proportions.

Very nice! I've been tempted to get back into military aircraft (I have tons of models from childhood) but so far, only got a few 1/144 JWings. The size is great considering the detail in them and ease of finding space but I kinda want some 1/100 or 1/60 to go with my Valks. Then, it starts to get expensive...some cost more than Valks!

Speaking of 1:60 models, I have been lurking for some time the Black Hawks helicopters for my Zero display. You can find a few ones already painted and assembled  but I couldn't decide which one was the best. Any suggestions?

No idea. Besides the 1/144 stuff I haven't been paying attention to larger scale aircraft since I was in my early teens. Hope to hear some  suggestions but I can also check with a friend who has been getting some. I'd be more interested in highly detailed, possibly diecast and mostly built for you models at this point. Don't have time for building much anymore.

Quoted for truth. I had a red AUTOart Lexus LFA and that LC 500 is too gorgeous to pass up - just got my order confirmation. B))

I really should do a better job of taking and posting pics of my swag, I want to participate in the fun too.

If you have 1/60 DX's, best go with a larger scale diecasts to complement the macross valks. But yeah i agree space is an issue and larger 1/48 scale diecast beasts are pricey, and they dont even transform... 

The 1/72 scales are still affordable, at least, and focusing on a couple to have a mix of fantasy macross and real life aircraft.

Looking out for a diecast Russian red star probably a sukhoi (i know there are a few out there, but waiting for higher detailed versions since am getting just one). 
Spanner's post of the red star valk sorta got me pointing in the russian direction...:lol:

Finally got my first 1/48. of all the reviews I've seen I have to admit that this is a beast. Every joint is tight as most dx valkyries I've gotten.

Nice!! I have the very same! B))

Aww shucks. I'm actually trying to hunt down either the Atlas or Stryder. I passed on them before because I didn't have the space to display it or to store the box. When I freed some space up I decided to get the Ogre. The only Stryders I see are being sold from the US and it will be super expensive to ship it to my country. 

 

got my Stryder from Greenhills. as recent as a few weeks ago i still saw one, Play Giant IIRC

on the fence about Ogre. the design just seems too "familiar".

if ever they continue this line with Titanfall2, i might bite again

Yeah, I've visited both Play Giant branches (in GH and Glorietta) but they only have the Ogre in stock (it's where I bought mine). I've tried asking if they still have a Stryder in stock but they said they don't. I'll try asking again.

If you ever decide to sell your Stryder (or know anyone who does, Atlas included), lemme know :D

Sorry for the poor picture. I have more figures on the way. I'll take a better one once the set is complete 

Nice score! One of these days I need to get Max & the Hikaru figure, I only have Roy so far.

i'll keep an eye out. heading to GH tomorrow to pick up POs from Great Toys. i think the store beside it (not Wasabi, the other one) had a Stryder. i remember i was pissed because it was 2k cheaper than what i paid at PG. 

sorry, not selling my Stryder. i might consider a trade though for an XM Studios Magneto or Weta's Argonath ;)

Hey MrBomber! Nice hauls on 1/6th figures. I've been considering Wolvie but I'm still having second thoughts about it. How was it?

In case you passed by GreatToys, please send my regards to Malvin. For sure he won't remember me anymore. I used to bug him about Gundams before. Hehehe. :lol:

I just got one of these from Disneyland the other day:

Not my pic and haven't opened it yet but remote controlled with opening doors and projectile launching. Couldn't pass it up.

In other news, HLJ has an anniversarry raffle and seems like a good way to get some free credits to buy more Valks. Link here.
