Picked up the game yesterday and must say it got me hooked playing games again, just like the good old days of the PS2 Macross DYRL game!

I will also trade in my PSP ver. 1 with the latest, newly released PSP ver. 3 today; will give you guys a review on it, whether it is worth trading in/buying or not!

I got a loose, white andtight jointed VF-1A Max, the only issue is that it is missing one leg armour. Have been searching ages for a spare and ended giving up.

Make me an offer I cannot refuse, will post a pic of it later on!

Here is my spare 1/48 Cannon Fodder set, made by Devin!

I have a spare set of Devin's made decals for the 1/48 Yammie VF-1 and Fast Packs for the Cannon Fodder if you are interested.

You might want to check out Evilbay, this Seller is offloading quite a few TECT conversion kits with the Bandai models!

Series 1 will not be easy to come by and even if you manage to find a set or individuals, be prepared to pay accordingly!

Series 2 and 3 are easier to find and many places still have them at reasonable prices. Shops in Hong Kong still offer them (the last I can remember) for roughly US$30-35 a set without the chase. I believe Ebay also offers similar deals!

Well, the hot water soaking time also depends on the size/thickness of the resin part.

Recommending GGemini for a flawless transaction, super fast shipping and perfect item, just as described!

If you cannot find original spares, you might want to construt them yourself with some acrylic plastic boards. they come in different colours and thickness. Since you are only after a very small piece, scrap pieces should suffice, cut it into shape, sandpaper the angle down and a good buff for the shine and it will look just like the real deal!

I believe Amazon Japan still have them in stock! They have an english text site and ship internationally, so very easy to complete the transaction.

Those are all out of production and very rare kits. Your best bet will be Yahoo Japan but expect to pay good money for it!

Looking for this

HLJ says it is discontinued but I think it has been re-issued recently again as a couple of shops over here in Hong Kong have them in shelves!

PM'ed you with my needs

Sorry guys for opening up a can of trouble in regards to the clear canopy mod , so I am more than happy to lend a hand in any possible way!

Of course, I am still interested in one to two kits

Not sure if you got my PM Totoro242 but here are the Broccoli Macross cards I am after and believe you have a few of them as spares

Alos any empty wrappers from this series as well as the Macross Perfect Collection I is welcome!

If you are talking about the Yamato 1/60 YF-19, your best bet is to ask Graham.

When he showed us the prototype he mentioned that Yamato used various plastics and some fins were out of a new kind of plastic, very tough, yet flexible. i believe it is called "POM".

Will dig the decals out and take a pic of it!

From what I remember these were the generic ones and had the option of getting your name printed!

Been away for a while and only saw this thread today, really two thumbs up!

The original VF-11 kit was never that great to start with, the original sculptors never gave much love to it, using existing Bandai model parts to save time. Good to see that with the Kaiyodo Revoltech ball joints, one can really make a good looking battroid out of it, makes me want to dig out my kits to build one

Printer-wise, as long as you are not printing white or anything in metallic, go for a good colour laser printer. An excellent ink jet will also do the job, just rememeber to clear coat it though after printing as you do not want the colour to fade when soaking the decals in water!

In regards to the decal papers, well, over here there are limited choices and I usually stick with the ones from WAVE. there are some chinese or taiwanese ones but the paper seems to be thicker, not to mention the backing paper is white, making white decals hard to see!

If you need to print white and those fancy metallic colours, then your choice is pretty limited to Alps printer.

I still have a set for a VF-1 Cannon Fodder and Fast Packs, asking $35 shipped, same price I got them for I believe!

Might want to give Balckaces a PM as he is the official guy for all PopBox related and issued items!

No trying to had sell you my complete set, but your best bet is to really to purchase the whole set. Of this series, the fighter modes are the most sought after, especially the YF-19 and VF-1J's. If you are lucky enough to find one, it will cost you around $10-15 shipped. This for one fig, while the whole set cost only in around $50'ish, which you can then sell the unwanted ones!

The VF-1A Max is actually in excellent condition, no yellowing. It has a few stickers applied and the only thing isthat it is missing the leg armour. No plans in selling it yet, unless I find a better replacement!

With with the different colour leg part, well give this thread some more time and if things do not change I might consider your spares and will settle for a repaint!

I dug out out my VF-1A Max and yep, its the bluish leg armour that I need and it is the left side! I hope you have a spare lying somewhere
