ya hopefully no cheap parts that helped them bring the price down. I'll pick up a slim for the last room in the house.

it's all in the looks preference now. you can pick up a 250gb hdd for $50 if you wanted. I think once the fats are gone, that's it. My main ps3 was an original 60gb (now 320), but it's actually too much space. I think it's more important to save money for an external usb hdd, to do periodic full backups and just play movies from the external.

Ugh alright thank you. Guess gotta hunt down chromia

I just picked up tf2 swerve and arcee. Arcee does have a weird "spine" That you"ll have to adjust to your liking. The instructions just make it look weird And off balance. Anyway there's a part on her back that moves and looks like you can Connect something to it. Is this a combo bot? Do I have to get chroma too?

what macrossjunkie said, but also, at least for mine it locks in like this naked: who knows, maybe in time, the pegs will wear down.

I can't take pics at the moment but, when in fighter mode the back of the lower part Of the legs can go higher than the back plate "almost" like the model.

Just got mine. No scrapes or glue residue that I can see. I've been messing with the neck and you can't close it in Fighter With the extension because its too fat and rubs on the inside of the head. I think a longer joint piece would have been perfectly fine like what other Ppl have done. Also out of the box, the back of the legs (nacels?) Can sit Higher in fighter mode.

The legs can come off like all of yamato's latest valks. Although the tranformation of the 11b doesnt need to have much stress or movement on the intakes/hips.

Hmm for 20+ years, its been the 1-j, but currently its the 25f

I live a mile from f&s and they don't always have the newer valks up that the Online store does. Major con is that that guy is almost never there!

Good catch. There's a little sweet spot there where to pull it and locks in place! Thank yous

I'll chime in for the the people hesitant to pick these up. I have: vf-1a hikky vf-1d vf-1s roy vf-1j hikky and transformed them multiple times. No cracks on the shoulders so far. For taking off the missiles: look very closely at the circle connectors under the wings. There are grooves in there. It's hard to explain, just look at it, and you will see the easy way to take missiles on and off. Similar to taking a gas cap on/off a car.

WOW that's awesome! Great work!

thanks guys. dark, i think i'll try it. can' hurt.

I'm too impatient so went to the craft store for some cheap $1 paint. Couldn't find any orange trim sticker because that would have been much better. Luckily found this cadmium orange which looks like a pretty close match, but anyway, here's what my afternoon consisted of.

har har, lol I can't lose $100+ on it. if it was cheaper, then maybe... I didn't notice because the fast packs have been on. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I got it from hobbysearch but shipping it back for a replacement wont be worth it, I just really need that one side replaced, if not then, I'll just paint it myself.

PANIC MODE ON! It took me a week to notice this... You guys should look for it too. The Orange outline on the right leg is missing!!!! This is just 1 out of the 2 I recieved. The other one is perfect...so far. going to watch a movie right now, wont be able to respond till I get back

krazy glue. with a brush applicator. but use a tooth pick for small areas.

when i took the head laser out, it stressed the joint. i pried out the piece on the head that holds the laser. added super glue to the joint itself to strengthen it. after it dried, reinserted it into the piece that i pried out and super glued all of it back onto the head. if you go this route just be careful no to over glue. if you do, keep rotating the laser so it doesn't dry stuck in one position. btw i use the glue that is purple and dries clear. it doesn't dry instantly and you have a couple seconds to work with it. i'm waiting for a movie version to replace this one since there's barely any changes. just hope it's an F model.

I wont go there with the "toy" argument, but I still will not let anyone (kid or adult) touch my yammies if they don't have any current experience with yammies. I guess the same goes for not touching my DXs' simply because of cost and limited runs. If anything breaks, it's not easy to say "hey you owe me $150!" lol.

I've never seen a military vehicle that is shiny, also when you were a kid playing with toys, were they USD$100-$200+ and imported??? I understand what a toy is, but a toy to play with is what transformers are for. Macross Yammies are for collectors. Which brings me to the DX. If bandai intended these to be durable play toys, do you think they should be cheaper? edit: saw the plane pics. I still wouldn't call that shiny, except for that one in the hanger. you'll of course have reflection off of light. and haven't we learned that shiny plastic does not like paint.

Is it confirmed that Alto armor parts will only be sold separately as web exclusives, or did they change their mind at the last minute when it was supposed to go on pre-order?

Ok, I've tried transforming the original the same way ff95gj has his (showing alot of nose cone) and there is no way to get the head up that high. I can only guess they changed that neck joint which is probably what they'll use for the new ozma. edit: after looking at the 25g, the ball connecting to the head might be set lower. (not so deep in the head).

Possable/ nicely sculpted 1/60 klan, and m&m figures with their q-raus. I don't even care if they were to fit inside or not. Also definately some main badguy mecha

Guess so. Overdrive isn't in on the 29th and may2-6. I have some orders just sitting there still that I ordered last week.
