Bandai DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie
Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I'd also love a VF-171, VF-171EX and RVF-171, but I just don't feel they are gonna happen. Although Bandai has been making better Macross products recently, they just don't seem to be into the whole 'pleasing fans with every existing model and paint variant' like Yamato does. To be honest, it just boggles my mind that Bandai have not re-released the YF-29 or released paint variations of the YF-29 like Ozma's from the PS3 game, given the popularity of the toy and the fact that the first run sold out so quickly. If not to please fans, but just to amortize the cost of the tooling, which must have been very expensive. Graham -

Is it a helmet? I always thought it was the Space Jockey's skull. Graham -

Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force
Graham replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I also experienced the seat and seat base coming unglued last night, when opening the canopy in fighter mode. This is beacuse the canopy hinge and also the sliding pillar that the canopy is connected to is quite tight, so that when you are trying to open the canopy and pull it up, the canopy support pillar is basically pulling up (exerting force) on the seat base and the small dab of glue used by the factory to hold the seat base in place may in many toys be insufficient to keep the seat base in place. Anyway, if the seat and seat base comes loose, nothing breaks and it's just a simple 1 minute fix of adding more superglue to secure those parts in place. Just make sure you don't get any super glue on the sliding canopy pillar, or you may glue it in place and not be able to open or close the canopy. Graham -
Well, I compared my Bandai 1/250 scale Macross Fighter Collection VF-1 and VF-4 the other night and the VF-4 is a bit longer than the VF-1, but it's not a huge plane like the VF-0 or YF-19. I guess in 1/60 scale the VF-4 will end up being a couble of cm longer than the VF-1. Will post a pic later. Graham

Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force
Graham replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
There are no serious QC issues with the toy. There are a couple of peices on a couple of toys so far that have come unglued, but can easily and quickly be glued back on. Yamato will definitely not be changing factory. This is the factory that made the VF-19. It took Yamato years to find a factory with this good a technical capability. No way they are changing Graham -
Not here in HK, they're still relatively easy to find in shops here. Graham

I thinks so. Graham -
Excellent. Graham

As I've already got the Animego DVD set, I really can't justify spending all that money on what may or may not be just a minor incremental improvement in video quality, but is still without English subtitles. Plus I still am yet to buy a Blu-ray player. So this set is an easy and definite pass from me. Still, nice for those that want it and will appreciate it. Graham

Nope, nothing to do with a Bandai 171, as far as I know. Graham -

If you want a D, be prepared to wait near the end of the year. There are reasons for this, I just can't say what they are . Graham -
Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force
Graham replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
One of my chest commons also came off after about 3 transformations. No biggie, just add a dab of super glue and slide it back into the metal rod. Problem solved in 30 seconds. Anyway, I've already informed Yamato last week, that for the next release, they should make sure the factory firmly house the chest cannons in place. Of course whether they take my advice is another suggestion entirely. Graham Haha! I laughed out loud when I read your post. Graham -
I'd love if Yamato released the atmospheric Super Packs for the VF-11C, but they seem relectant to do anything more with the VF-11, which is a shame. I also wish the Super Packs that come with the VF-11C were a slightly darker shade of bluish-grey, as they appear in the anime, rather than light grey. Graham

I was going to say something similar. Graham

Graham replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Ya gots to grow some fingernails! No short fingernails need apply! I use the fingernails of my left and right index finger, under the left and right sides of the canopy to gently and gradually raise/wiggle/prise the canopy straight up until it's far enough up that it can be hinged upwards. Graham -
Cool, the Tomahawk looks nice as well. Graham

Yes, but micro-missile launcher doors are just doors and a completely different kettle of tuna to externally mounted semi-conformal missiles. Graham

I love both fighter mode and battroid mode equally. I'm not really a gerwalk mode person at all for any VF. Graham -
You should also post this in the model forum! I wanna see a WM Cheng build up on this! Graham

Graham replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
A quick tip in case you ruin the Diamond Force 'Double Triangle' emblem while trying to trim it, as I did twice..........doh! The Gamlin, Max and MIllia VF-22S sticker sheets also have this sticker on, so if you have any VF-22S toys, you will have a back up of this sticker (assuming you haven't used it already). Graham -
