I'd better find some more Super Packs and get a third VF-17 so I can keep one in each mode. I figured there would be a chance for a Milia/Ray/Teal version I could get as a third option but that's probably not happening at all now.
-
I wish I had a local shop selling these still.
-
As far as I recall the armor never contained or fired missiles during the entirety of the Mac F. show. Artdink has been taking liberties as far as I can tell, though it would make sense considering the VF-25 Chest armor does open.
-
Or, rather, I have tried to take them off but the back pack versions are on REALLY tight and I haven't been able to successfully remove them. The leg parts don't damage anything at all however.
-
I just realized, does this thing have cannons built into its forearms as well?
-
Good question. I actually haven't tried to remove my super parts since I put them on.
-
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.
