hmm, I like the VF-1A heads, but the rest of them look kinda dopey. The VF-1J head looks pretty dopey on all toys except the 1/48s, but even the Banpresto VF-1S head looks better than that. Are they as loose as Banprestos?

Cool. Thanks dude.

How did you strip the original paint?

The CG space battle looks about as good as The Last Starfighter, which was decent but not great... 20 years ago.

Customer service for Macross toys at Yamato-USA. I know Yamato isn't suppose to sell Macross in the US, but frack, it's the electronic age. Just cuz a toy is only released outside the US, doen't mean we can't buy them. Not anymore. Obviously. Look at Godzilla's collection. Misaligned tampo, crooked gunpods, landing gears... we can complain, they can listen, they can not. As long as they make cool Macross toys, we'll still buy them. But the arm issue on the VF-0 series is a pretty big deal. They really should offer some kind of customer service for a situation like this. Even a mail in exchange w/ receipt copy for purchase date to a US address would really be a gesture to show that they really care about those of us who go through so much effort AND MONEY to buy their toys over here.

Smaller boxes. We've been crying for this for years and the boxes keep getting bigger.

Hopefully they'll fix this problem before the new VF-0a comes out. I hope no catastrophic problems like this show up in the YF-19 a few monthes from now.

Yikes! This thread makes me afraid to buy a VF-0

I found it from his site too. His and kidkorrupt's. The old forum had been around for about 2 years when I stumbled upon it. I remember the change over being rough. I was among a bunch of people over at Valkyrie Exchange forum getting our fix because MW was down for a few days. I left for two year when I moved. I lurked every once and a while, but all my Macross stuff was in storage 1800 miles away and being here would make me jealous. I have been back in the last few week. It's funny how nothing has really changed (except everyone's a Mod now ). It's like walking into my favorite local bar.

The Yamato 1/60 toy has a mostly grey cockpit, black console, and yellow seats under the pilot.

If you watch Mac Plus or look at the design works, the 19 is not suppose to have kneecaps. My guess is, the kneecaps were an afterthought to make the undercarriage look sleeker. Correction: The kneecap part looks like it's part of the upper leg in the Design Works and in Mac Plus, which I guess is how this works.

Wow That's awesome.

Not as much as you... psycho... Seriously though, thats still less than what it would of cost for a full set of Bandai/Takatokus just less than 10 years ago.

1/200 scale Prometheus. It woulds be about the size of the USS Flagg.

I don't think it killed it, just set the bar a little higher. The 1/55 is a very simple design. Easy to work with, with few moving parts and few stress points to worry about. It also had a lot of room to improve before it looked good enough for more serious Macross fans. The 1/48 is a much more complex design, with more moving parts and fewer things that still need improvment. So, when someone wants to improve on it, they need the skills to pull it off, like Capt. America's VF-1D conversion kit.

Do they curve to the left or the right?

Nice job! I was hoping someone would do these.

not for long.....

I think they're cheesy, but that's just me.

that kicks ass

Sorry to hear about your car. I hope you catch the motherf###er. I'm glad you got back to me, cuz I was ready to sell the Max after the not hearing from you for so long. Anyways, I cancelled my listing on eBay and it's ready to be sent to you whenever your MO gets here.

hahaha it's gonna suck, and it's gonna suck proper.

Thanks Christopher. Sorry for backing out, but I'm moving to Austin, Texas from NJ and I need to save money for it. Sorry Ken, Tom
