A guy from a Macross FB group did a fix on the original triangle here; https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154464961117059&id=622537058

With the exception of the VF-17, 22, and the 19- I think every other walk in Gerwalk is awesome.

Thanks for clarifying.

What are Everybody's 3 favorite & 3 least favorite Macross toys?
blackconvoy_D01 replied to Graham's topic in Toys
Favs: 1. Bandai YF-29 (minus the Isamu version)- I absolutely loved the 30th Anniversary, Rod, and Ozma customs, Alto was OK. Had more than the 25 had going for it without armored or superparts. Overall fun and value, and superparts were optional- not required for further enjoyment. 2. Bandai VF-171EX- I love the look and the feel. Everytime I see them I think of a mass modernized NUNS wing of fighters. I think the Alto and Luca colors are a beautiful homage to DYRL. I would be satisfied with or without armored parts just because of the look in every mode. Only transformation is sometimes a pain, but practice makes perfect. 3. Tie: Yamato VF-1S TV Version v2, and VF-11C- Both were absolutely stunning, fun; with ease of transformation, and could almost do any pose I wanted. Enjoyable with or without super parts. Fav runners up goes to: VF-1A TV Max, VF-0S with Ghost, and Tomahawk Destroid Unfavs: 1. Bandai VF-19 Advance- WAY- WAY too much happening here- needlessly. Yes you can keep mind decay away with this level of transformation involved- but its not fun. I also found gerwalk a turnoff, battroid were disproportioned, and the SMS wing boosters are not really made for it. 2. Bandai VF-25's- either v1 or v2- its a very limited toy without super, armored, or tornado parts. Transformation and sculpt on v2 is amazing, but without parts, its boring. (Exception made for the YF-25 since its the prototype/ trainer) 3. Bandai VF-171 CF- The most beautifully colored valk in existence aside from the SVF Cavaliers or Low vis VF-1S, and it had to be ruined by horrid factory QC issues. Why? WTF? Unfav runners up go to the: YF-30, YF-19, YF-21 and VF-27 -
If better minds were in charge, and better decisions made 30+ years ago we wouldnt even be having this conversation. We'd have just as much "reasonably" priced Macross product as the Gundam and Transformers franchises do today. In lieu of that though, I find being a Macross fan more special. Outsiders to anime and toy collecting see my valks and automatically want to know more about their background.

THIS! I've burnt out 4 times with Macross collecting. This time around I finally learned to do and get WHAT I LOVE from Macross and not try to compete or keep up with others collections. Doing it at your pace too will make you feel better financially.

Was the VF-17S officially apart of NUNS, or just UN Spacy? I ask because of the stickers included with the Yamato set.- 7070 replies

Question: How do you guys acquire your collections?
blackconvoy_D01 replied to w8kbrder's topic in Toys
It used to be in bulks, but now bits and pieces. Ive always been in flux with my Macross collection; i used to impulse buy, getting anything in the 1/60 scale from Bandai and Yamato. With maturity I've learned to be a little patient and wait for deals. I've also learned to buy what I truly love and not what others have just to feel a part of the group. Much happier this way. -

Hikaru was in the VF-1A. You cant very clearly see it- initially, but you get the idea at 2:46.- 7070 replies

I'd imagine the white metallic plastic has a smoother surface for painting the NUNS across it- correct?

Despite it benefiting HG, I actually enjoyed the English SDF Macross version from ADV. But going forwar I lean towards not giving loot to HG.
