Loop

I know Yamato hurry the F*ck up!!! The suspense is killing me, I am to the point where I am being distracted by all the rumblings over in the Bandai Macross camp. And Graham........ please don't tease us and talk about photos unless you can share.

I think I am going to do the same, I have some high hopes for the VF-25 line though. In the end though I think all the problems are bred into the toy line by Bandai though so I will wait ,see what happens with the VF-25's and if they are still fail........ I wait like 20 years for Yamato to get the license.

Just make sure they don't get too much sun

Yeah me too, are you guys smoking around your toys? Or frying fatty foods around them? I have seen where cooking oils can coat stuff over the years and cause dust to stick to it.

Wow, we are way off topic now......... I have never even transformed my Elint, so I wont be taking any pics soon lol. Love it in jet mode ,I wish I would have bought 2 though.

Been too lazy to take the woodland set out. I would have to put away either my VF-1J Super Stealth or my Low Vis ver 1 and have a hard time thinking about it lol.

So uhmm, these don't come with decals? You would think for the cost, they would include decals.

Amen brother! I have noticed that since the releases have slowed down I have a bit more flexible spending cash. Gave me the time to fill in the gaps in my collection. All I really need now, if I wanted to be an ultra completest is the 1/60 VF-1J CF and the 1/60 VF-0a unknown soldier. Oh crap, I would also need the destroids in the yellow/desert colors. back on topic: Why are so many people hung up in the missile bay?? none of the other toys in the newer 1/60 Yamato series have focused on that besides the Kai. My primary concern with the VF-17 is if they will be able to keep it slim in fighter mode but chunky in batteroid. I am not too concerned with the gerwalk mode knee joint either. I have faith that it will be present. If they can pull off stowing the gun in the leg and the beam adapter in the other that is a bonus to me. They don't have to be spring loaded either, I think it's just an additional point of failure.

Ouch, I paid $125.00 each including the shipping, so $250 total for the pair shipped.

Although I have tested a valk on the stand touching just the plastic, it left greasy circles where the valk rested on the stand. I do not know what the long term affect of that could be.

I started my collection with the 1/60 v2, but during the slow release periods I bought a few 1/48's including the Anime GBP-1S, GBP Urban Camo and am waiting for the low vis version 2 and the woodland camo armor so I could complete the 1/48 GPB set. I have a Hikaru VF-1J in the anime colors, a VF-1S Focker in the urban camo, and will have the Low Vis version 2 in the Woodland camo armor. I think they look pretty bad ass on display. Maybe I can take a few crappy photos of all 3 together when my Low Vis version 2 and armor show up. I vowed to keep my 1/48 collection to one detolf shelf, but have gone over. I currently own the Low Vis version 1, and stealth with super/strike parts also.

I have not, but at the same time it looks right as far as I can tell without stickers.

Are you referring to the Macross-F DX VF-25's Gerwalk mode?

I really don't know what exactly is causing it, but I left a valk on one of my stands without letting it touch the paint and it left a greasy spot that wiped off. I have already washed the tips with dish soap too and I don't think it made a difference. I think it has something to do with contact though because the tops don't feel greasy when not being used.

Damn guys, I may just pick this up. Does anyone know if there are any safety plastic pieces??? The Macross-F DX toys always bothered me with the safety plastic for the Mauler beams. It made the VF look like a bug lol. On the DX Quarter they used alot of safety plastic that really turned me off too. I am an adult damnit! if I shed blood playing with a valk it makes me respect the power of a vf even more I have actually taken damage twice from a valk, my VF-19 and my YF-19. I wonder though if the YF-29 is the turning point for the series and they got it all nailed this time.

I'd even jump on a chronicles exclusive, sure we could get enough people to buy in. I guess whatever it takes to make this possible.

Ouch.....

It's funny how many people thought that when it was released. I on the other hand thought it was awesome! I agree, they should do an exclusive on all of the other destroids including the cheyenne. I would gladly jump through all the hoops to get one of each at a minimum.

My 19 is a loosy goosy wobbly mess....... I have considered buying the new edition and using my loose one as a actual toy I play with lol.

Yeah, I am going to pre-order it asap!

A couple more pics of not that great a quality. I am a crappy photographer lol.

All I have to say is 1:05 - 1:08 I see forward a forward leg bend...... I have no doubt that Yamato will incorporate a proper leg bend. Pause it, rewind it a hundred times if you have to, but it's there.

Hey, I lucked out and found it on a HK site.

They are well aware of the problem, I am still working with Los on this very issue.

I'd be all over that, especially since I own the 1/60 GBP-1S with launch effect parts.
