  1. Curse you tiny valks!

  3. Tiny Monster!
  4. heheh....
  5. It's a kind of magic!
  6. I guess OT allowed the earth to develop jets that transform to robots but did nothing for the science and chemistry of paint!
  7. LOL...I wash my car weekly to get rid of salt during the winter.....pretty sure the VF-0 crews would want to thoroughly wash a multi-million dollar piece of equipment, especially if it had been under the ocean..... I'm curious to know if it takes months or years to cause that kind of weathering to paint on aircraft stationed on carriers....
  8. Well....I'm not a hard core stats/Macross history guy, but weren't the first combat-ready, fully operational VF-0's first deployed to the Pacific fleet in 2008? If so, how can they get weathered so quickly? Anyone know how long it would take a real jet fighter to look as "well-weathered" as a VF-0D seems to be? I have to agree with those that say the color is just too wrong to even try to justify. They went with a color that was not even onscreen, instead of choosing one that was and remaining technically faithful to the anime. If Arcadia ever gets to re-releasing the Max and Milia Super -1J's...how wrong will those colors be? Metallic chrome perhaps?
  9. I think if they can get the color sort of close on a gashapon type figure...they could have done better on a $300 toy.... Don't get me wrong, the most important part is that it is a VF-0D PT...which no one else is going to make.....but still...I can totally understand those that have cancelled orders or will be deciding to skip on this release...the color should have been a slam-dunk for Arcadia...just pick any color seen on the anime and it would have been "right".....does the one selected even appear in any scene?.....
  10. I have to admit...the color they decided to use is disappointing.... It almost seems like Arcadia is intentionally not getting the colors right. I can't recall this ever being one of the complaints on Yamato releases. So far every release from Arcadia has involved some color tampering.... 30 Anniversario....rainbow valk...'nuff said DYRL Roy and Hikaru VF-1S....bright white/pink hue VF-19 w/sound booster....golden kai VF-0D.....clearly the wrong color Upcoming GBP-1J......no grey visor....why? How will they screw up the VF-0S/A? Bright white again with pinkish hues? Arcadia is no Yamato I guess...
  11. They already announced a spin-off some time ago....here is something recent about it...contains spoilers.... http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/01/the-walking-dead-spin-off-script-leaked

  13. VF-1 Valkyrie forever!
  14. Do you own a Yamato 1/3000 SDF-1? I'd be curious to see what the mini figurines look like on a Yamato SDF-1. Those figurines are the only reason I'd actually buy this model kit.
  15. Missed it again....surprised no one has chimed in with their thoughts or observations....maybe I'm not the only one losing interest?

  17. They'll probably keep milking the MacF license until it's time to switch to Macross Δ....so whatever time it takes to put in place the tooling for the new valks is when they will put on the MacF brakes.... Not including Macross 30 valks.....what is left to be done from MacF? Would be nice if they ended the MacF line with these two....in-scale with the rest of the line (or close to it) queadluun-rhea.... Vajra....

    Hi-Metal R

    The FPs on the Hi-Metals are also DYRL-type....essentially you can tell by the arm armor and by the color....I think the recent pics of the Super VF-1J Max and Milia are using the DYRL armor painted in their TV colors

    Hi-Metal R

    Based on the pics seen so far....and if they indicate what is being released....then the Strike VF-1S and VF-1J Max can become obsolete if the "R" versions are indeed different.... Then again, all previous generations of Macross toys eventually become obsolete....best to enjoy them while you have them in whatever way best suits you....
  20. Need a Macross gif? http://nakamorijuan.tumblr.com/tagged/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9
  21. The Milia VF-1J henkei is among the rarest vintage Macross toys.....I have only seen about three for sale in 30 years of collecting.....your friend made a great find and purchase!
  22. Soon.....very soon.....
