Brave man disassembling that thing. I really like how you marked it up. Please take many, many close ups once it's reassembled so we can get an idea what it looks like up close.
-
Well, obviously it's complex. He was talking about it being like a thousand dollars on Shapeways, or something like that. If this is better it could be higher quality at the same price or maybe $500 or $600.
-
To be honest I don't feel like there's any need to put stickers on the P.
-
Take it out of his allowance.
-
I don't even have the boxes for my Valks I could use for moving. I'm kind of stuck where I am I guess.
-
Impressive patience. I would have been flying the thing around in fighter mode at the very least right now.
-
That's about the only option for a "TV" version of the SDF-1, my problem with that is the lines on it are all wrong. Even with the correct colors it isn't shaped like the SDFM version.
-
If Bandai were willing to foot the bill for an update of the original Macross that looked like the Pachinko machine I might be okay with them having the license for the VF-1 again...
-
Would this also make JasonC's VA-3 project economically viable too?
-
The one thing I would recommend you watch out for with the Cavalier to watch out for is when transforming back from Battroid to Fighter/Gerwalk. Make sure that nose cone is pushed down all the way (I'd just recommend removing it) before reattaching the fuselage. On my 1S Low Vis I didn't quite have the nose all the way down and tried to force it and stressed the plastic at the edges. In reality you don't want to do that on any of them but that dark plastic really shows the stress marks.
-
It must be doubly worse for you. I've already got a sizable collection (complaining about getting a third VF-17 and all.)
-
I will say that after all of this Yamato/Arcadia stuff it is pretty sad to flip around through the different online stores and 1) realize this might be it for these products and 2) see just how quickly they are selling out/prices are rising. Replacing anything that might get broken will suddenly be hugely expensive if not impossible to find. I was hoping down the line to get a third VF-17. It looks like I might have to dump a heap of cash now just to buy up another VF-17D now just in case I never see one again.
-
It shares some similarities but I don't believe it looks the same. I much prefer the look of this Battroid to the 25/29 series.
-
I would say that the transformation for the shoulders and the poseability for the hips of the Hi-Metla VF-1 were done very well. The fact it's highly pose-able in Battroid is also pretty good. Gerwalk and Fighter are both terrible in look though.
-
I've already speculated on this. The fin pretty much mounts right where that secondary gunpod attachment hole is located, which when in Battroid winds up right down near the "tailbone". I assumed it would just mount right in that hole and either be on a swivel/pivot or you have to just unplug and replug it in in the various modes.
-
Wow, it's turning into a mad-dash now isn't it?
-
It's kind of sad there's so little YF-30 information all we're talking about are YF-29 variants.
-
I'd like a third 17, especially considering we have no idea if any more 17's will ever be produced, but i just can't justify spending that kind of money right now.
-
I just counted my collection up. So odd. 13 in Gerwalk, 13 in Battroid and 11 in Fighter. Kind of creepy how many lucky thirteens I have going on there.
-
Does anybody feel like taking screen caps of these different paint schemes for the YF-29 and 30 so we can all see them? I don't own Sony consoles but I'm interested in how they look.

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
Mommar replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
This is Lara's daughter, that's why she isn't used to killing yet. They even reference her famed mother near the beginning of the game. -
How long does it take you to dust Kicker?
-
I think what you posted, or rather how you worded it, is extremely offensive. He's not eating anything, he has an idea for a Macross film and apparently has an EXTREMELY talented Hollywood professional looking into helping with some of the animation. Neither one of these projects should be "eating" the other one, nor are we freaks and there's very little to envy of Robotech as the toy and video game threads prove that product for Macross keeps getting released officially. The only thing to Robotech's name at this point is a fan made movie.

Are we just sharing our stories of our first purchases and how it's screwed us? i bought a DYRL Hikaru 1A and HATED it. It was fiddly, the crotch lock sucked with the Fast Packs on (FYI, they've since fixed that.) I decided everyone who sang Yamato's praises was stupid. Then they started advertising all of Max's Valks. I wound up with his DYRL 1S, SDFM 1A and a few months later is 1J. I've got 18 VF-1's now.
-
The head is only controversial if you consider one bit of lineart over the other. Overall the D looks fine. If Jenius doesn't feel the fast packs are overpriced, and his review wasn't at all about the FP's or Yamato's business practices in general i.e. the releases, then there's no reason for him to dock the toy. The sins of the father and such. I think his review is decently fair. I would have scored it lower for various other reasons myself but he doesn't miss too many beats about the actual toy itself.
