vlenhoff Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 @MKT Cool Kawamori plane, I like it! @sh9000 I am so tempted to get a few of those 1/100 planes. Cool stuff. I am still laying low from my last purchases, but i'll look into it in the future... maybe... @Lolicon, Wow, that's really cool. I may have 1/4 of their catalog, if even that. i do have multiples of some of them. You can never have too many brownies... or stormtroopers.

spacemanoeuvres Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Very nice. The Arcadia stand is quite heavy, I was surprised at the heft of the box when it was delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed. Found the source of the weight after I opened one. those metal weights are a very nice touch!

sh9000 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Nice pics @Slave IV. @vlenhoff You should start with the 1/100 F-14, see if you like it, and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! And I second the F-14 suggestion. Unless you don’t want to get sucked in because they are instantly addicting as soon as you have one in hand.

MKT Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 @Slave IV @sh9000 @vlenhoff Thanks! I never watched any of the new Thunderbirds series, just a few short clips on Youtube. But the clip that sold me on this kit was: Spoiler @borgified We'll definitely recognize elements of various Macross valkyries and Kawamori's other aircraft designs in this Thunderbird S. I like how he integrates that car spoiler-like wing at the back, which is probably the only link to the other Thunderbird vehicles ( the Thunderbird 2!) design wise. Just like the ASF-X plane he designed for Ace Combat, his aircrafts somehow has flight believability. Can't really put a finger to this as a casual observer; perhaps it has the right wing to body ratio or proportions, if there is such a thing. One feature I wish this kit have are articulated landing gears. Instead of conventional aircraft landing gears in its design, this bird apparently has a couple of retractable feet with clawed gears, just like an eagle, and allows it to grip and land on any type of surfaces.

Cool, I haven't really paid attention to any new Thunderbird media but that looks fun! I have a Diecast Thunderbird 2 and it was one of my favorite toys as a kid. Love all the built in gimmicks.

no3Ljm Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 So how many Arcadia stands can fit in a Detolf shelf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Damn it @no3Ljm! You had me do this quickly. One Arcadia valk stand with the 1/48 Yammie Milia. Edit: This is the one I got from Manda not too long ago and I didn't have the time to open the box and give it a good look for now.

Sanity is Optional Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just got my 2 Arcadia stands from Amazon Japan. Looks like the boxes even made it undamaged (the Arcadia ones, not the Amazon one). Need to pull them out this evening and mount up a couple valks. Not sure which ones yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to ask because when people post some pics with the Valkyries on it, it looks deceivingly 'small'. And since I don't have detolf nor the stand, I just got curious. So, based on your photo, I would assume you can fit 2, atleast 3 max and just play on how to position the arms to fit 3 Valks even if you're using a 1/48 scale one(?).

Three Arcadia stands will be ideal as you would not want to have it overly stuffed like sardines in a tin can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I still think Yetistands are ideal for most display options. Especially for detolfs, you can use a combination of the detolf adapter and base stands...or a combination of those and the Arcadia. For the most part, if you are going to display Valks in different modes, 3-4 max per deftolf shelf works. Maybe more if all in Battroid mode and not too dynamically posed or Fighter mode all pointing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubis20 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Few things that came in this week. A friend sold off all his Metal Builds and gave me a pretty good deal on this Exia even though I already have it, the Exia Repair is my favorite (If you cant tell by the avatar ), and I couldnt pass on it. Wife got me this Goji out of the blue.. It is MUCH better than the 2014 version. Glad I sold that one off And I got that plain MB Strike Gundam from the MB Infinity event...

On the cheaper side of things, I got these. first time I remember seeing a cheap diecast model for the Gumpert Apollo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got the Valdore so i don't know how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
