that box is gigantic, wow. I just can't believe how large and bad-ass this thing looks on the stand

Ok, do I get my Macross card revoked asking this question? I always figured those slats under the chest and on the arms were just design features...to fill in the empty space. Are these actually exhaust vents for the missiles when they launch out? Basically pressure release? Cause I never see anything coming out of them if they were. I guess the are..doh!

They say "Rules are written in blood"...what happened here that then needed this warning to be added 😛 Some poor Valkyrie Engineer....

Sure its been discussed before, but I just re-discovered it and laughed. In the footer of one of the pages in the Artmic Design book, mechanical co-designer Hideki Kakinuma explains the origin of HBT Just take the word GAS and offset +1 letter in the alphabet LOL poor google translate results Therefore, I taught that HBT is the next spelling of GAS in the sense that it is next to GAS (gasoline), that is, it is a really ridiculous thing made by doing G → H, A → B, S → T. By the way, the other party is crazy! There was an episode saying ... It ’s Kessaku! (Kakinuma)

Agreed I suspect the brown box is the armor-solo...at least the box width dimensions match up My armor parts says they will ship to me on the 17th(reseller), so I could believe they are being sent out now. I hope @jenius didn't do Sea-Mail this time...want to see the review soon 😛

I love how you can just remove it from the box and slap on the armor-pre-transformed in battroid mode! You can then say 'never transformed' 5 years from now when the 1/32 version comes out and you sell it!

nah...not pretty cool, freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One day I want to see one of these builds in person, because my eyes just can't process what I'm seeing

I can't wait to see the entries! Hopefully some will bleed through here (for the non-facebookers like me)

Just a nod towards our infamous VF-1D scene Even the Yui/Minmei arms are right!

OMG that is insane...I love the easter egg of the VF-1D/S in the city! Thank you for posting the info! And it flies!

I've got the Blue legged variant...with GUNPOD...priceless!

Does this count? Super Valkyrie Easter Egg in Megazone 23 Part I?

Are there any other posts about it or external links? (the sdf build above) I missed them!

Ran across this Arii 1/100 Prototype release pic in one of the old magazines(appears to be the same battroid as shown on the playing card above). This time they got the VF-1D name correct, but that head is the VF-1C They were still tweaking on the nose in fighter/gerwalk, but wow-those are the biggest hands I've ever seen!

Just incredible!!!! Love these pics

test update worked with attachment

THANK YOU or those air show pics, incredible job!!!!! Blown away at your effort! But I want a COLA!!!

Seeing a picture like this just shows how far Toy design has come in recent years. Everything used to be so clunky and bulky...if you wanted accuracy you went to plastic or highly detailed garage kits. Now everything just looks so damn good-and it comes that way out of the box. Can't wait for my VF-1D to ship-looking forward to adding it to the mini display. I do think it is going to be Gerwalk mode...this pose just looks perfect to me.

What valk is chasing the fan racer? An Angel Bird?

Advanced Valkyrie! VB-R-2. https://macrossworld.com/macross/translations/_translations_advancedvalkyrie.htm Very nice, thank you for posting that!! I want to see this line more than anything...I love the Vf-3000..someday!

Oh that makes me VERY happy!! When Twentieth Century Imports was doing their imports in the early 80s you could find Macross kits at all the various hobby stores and general stores like Sprouse Reitz...where I would spend all my lunch money on 1/144 Macross kits The Good Old Days are coming back again!

Can't wait to see the new box art...I dug the originals! (below)

Had a security patch, and when we applied, it broke things on the update. Post any problems here please and I'll fix soon Thanks! Shawn
