68whiskey Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Real question is where do we get a stand to display one flying over the other like in the pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YetiStands. I remember someone here recreated YF-19 inverted above YF-21. @ChaoticYeti got busy with his job preventing him to make more. Maybe one day.

derex3592 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I think that might have been me at one point..... I know I had my 21 and 19 on the same Yetistand in fighter mode at some point years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DewPoint Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 That was probably such a big in joke at the animation studio. There was probably a reason why we never saw it out of fighter mode in the show. That or I totally blanked it out of my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! Will these be on display or stay safely in the boxes? I normally don't do TWE orders, yet I just ordered one from Genki, if you ordered from their store then must be pretty legit.

505thAirborne Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Is it me or does the pilot for the Angel Bird seem to be more of an appropriate size? Meaning, this pilot doesn't look like tiny like the Hikaru & Max TV figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) I know, I know. We always blame Bandai for the new markings and decisions. But Tenjin-san is really adding his flair and make it canon. Designing the emblem and markings to commemorate the 40th Anniversary. But, as Dan Larson puts it...

Chronocidal Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I don't think I can honestly say I've ever cared about paintschemes being canon in the first place. Some of my favorite schemes are ones made up by fans. My issue is that all of these new "celebratory" markings Bandai and Arcadia like to slap on their valks tend to be ducking fugly. Can we just have something that looks good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Grande Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 On 7/27/2022 at 10:14 AM, no3Ljm said: No, since it's TWE release. But yes in the future with astronomical price markup from third party sellers. Say, for example Kakizaki's DX VF-1A for Y144470. And that is correct, any TWE item is always pay upfront. I find that Kaki price totally bizarre. Maybe my fellow collectors in Canada are just cheap, but I took forever to sell my MIB DYRL Hikaru VF-1S and Kaki VF-1A. And for Kaki I ended up selling over $100 less than I paid for it. Buyers here want to pay retail price or close to it for used copies, but it's very difficult to buy them at retail price in the first place so that doesn't make sense.

MacrossJunkie Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Bandai seems to be very inconsistent with their commitment to symmetry. They double down on it with Kakizaki, but then lose faith in their symmetry god by not making the left leg of the Angel Birds VF-1 spell out "sdriB legnA".

Funny, it's almost like the original reversed modex was a mistake... On the other hand though, "Sdrib Legna" sounds vaguely Slavic. I kind of want markings for a team of Sv-51s with those markings now. Edited August 27, 2022 by Chronocidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how proud Bandai is of overdoing the markings, it just might stay all red.
