I just want my damn CF so I can mount it and tell it I love it (not necessarily in that order.)
-
I want to see this so bad, but I don't. Because in the end I just know I'm going to want one and will have no means to do it.
-
They were all right side up for me, yesterday and this morning. Also, congrats. That 1S looks good in blue.
-
The No Step isn't entirely to keep someone from slipping but also to ensure the mechanism isn't damaged.
-
Even after highlighting the differences I still don't really see what you mean. Why are parts of the legs and backpack being redone too? Or maybe I won't understand that either!
-
Because the tolerances are so tight, yes the transformation can be a bit fussy.
-
Holy crap, this will be epic! You'll make us all hate our crappy per-assembled Yamato's, just like we all hate our standard SDF-1's, but in the most awesome way possible! Why, and in what way, are you rebuilding the forearms?
-
The other thing is maybe these people are HUGE Max fans from way back but they only just found out about these toys recently. We've already seen a lot of people posting here about getting into the collection market. If they missed out when they came out a few years ago the options are pretty limited. If they don't even know about this website, or other places to look, they'll drop a huge sum on a Max or Milia because it's all they know.

I actually don't know what "English Fire" is. I'm assuming some English version of Fire Bomber. I'm not real concerned with if the music is good as my opinion of the Japanese music is that it's not good either. I'm just talking about some method of releasing the series so other people can see it too.

Star Trek Into Darkness, in theaters May 17, 2013
Mommar replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Seriously, a momentary blip on a grand scale. Relatively primitive people witnessing the Enterprise flying in the sky for a moment before disappearing for good. Sure it's a violation of the prime directive (so is stopping the volcano) but one minor sighting of a UFO isn't going to wreck an entire civilization. -
So don't license the music. The lyrics will have to be changed to English for Western localization anyway.
-
...people find the Palladium System unplayable? I thought it was fast and easy. And if you don't like something you just throw it out for something more simple.
-
The super tight cockpit and chest piece are well documented around this website. The super part slots, you "pried" them open? You mean like, you pried those plastic rectangles out of the toy? Because they recess inward, you've done it wrong if you've pried them out. My 17S and both of 17D's perform perfectly in that regard.
-
Not sure how many Native American's we have on this site but.... interesting. I wonder if they'll do this with the new movies too? http://navajotimes.com/entertainment/2013/0413/041913sta.php

Unless you're going for headless in which case CRANK!
-
That's the scene I was referencing. I'd be all over a CF 25.
-
Honestly, the CF 171 is a good bet if he can find one (since this topic was about Frontier Valks even though we went off the deep end about the other series toys.) The transformation can be a bit of a pain, closing that chest piece going back to Gerwalk/Fighter is troublesome for me personally, but overall it isn't that bad and it poses/looks great in all three modes plus it has armor expansions and is a unique color/shape.
-
I'm pretty sure I've seen them in the show that way too but I can't quote a specific show really since I only just flip through them because I can't stand to sit and watch them.
-
I think that's a trick of lighting. All of the scene's with them parked in the hangars they're definitely a sandy color. In the second movie leading up to the scene where Ozma beats up Alto in the hanger next to the YF-29 they pan downward and there's a bunch of CF 25's that are all Tan/Brown. That guy at the website makes a good point though. They made a CF 27 (though there were less options to re-use that mold) and now there's a CF 171 as well (once again, less options.) Maybe Bandai will eventually get around to a CF 25 at some point?
-
I wonder if there would be a mad scramble for that one like all of the rest have been?
-
Holy crap, what a score! What do the local VE-1's and VF-4's cost?
-
None of my Valks from HKCollectibles seems any different in any way from the Valks I've received from Japan. I think that's just psychological perception nonsense, unless it's well and truly a knock-off piece.
-
While Milia's 1J appeared in the show there's never been a toy produced that looked exactly like that scheme as it was painted slightly different, plus pretending the SDFM one is also the M7 one wouldn't work because it's next to impossible finding that particular toy these days. That goes for the 11C as well, impossible to find these days except at +500% mark up. Off topic, but since it's Grahams favorite toy/Valk I thought I'd ask can you actually transform the VF-17 so that the chest piece sits flush against the cockpit in fighter? I've tried everything and there's always a bit of a gap and the chest piece is slightly raised.
-
What was the reason for the canopy to be coated in Fold Quartz? Though I am of the same mind as xrentonx that it is a bit of a silly magical rock.
-
If he were to get a MacPlus Valk the only one I would recommend is the 11B. That one holds up the best. The YF-19 is a floppy mess and the 21 is okay but the knee joints are frustrating to pose and it's hard to transform for a lot of people. The 11B is the only one of the three that is decent for posing/transforming/not randomly breaking/and still available at this point.
