  1. Am comparing more on the price rather than quality, no doubt the hi-metal is newer but at a similar price you could get a used 1/60 valk. Scale your enjoyment of the valk accordingly
  2. Imo the hi-metal line isnt that cheap? For that amt of plastic and size, i would have expected better pricing perhaps. So far have only put down for the regult and glaug as there arent much other equally realistic looking toys available. I think getting even a used v1 1/60 vf-1 yamato would be equivalent to a new 1/100 hi-metal vf-1 in terms of price. And if the opinion is that the v1 vf-1's have issues, well you arent exactly getting a perfect 1/100 hi-metal vf-1 either. The only reason i can see to get the hi-metal is for shelf space.
  3. Not take away from jenius answer, but i was fixing it right after the video was posted, and i didnt put any glue either. The leg stays on as after repairing the half-ball, as the socket closes fully around the ball socket and thus the leg doesnt fall off. The leg came off mainly due to a half plastic ball that is too big, causing the socket not to enclose the ball socket completely. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41401&page=2#entry1236713 minimal box damage ftw! dang that is a cool price, wish i waited now but then again you never know... Yea next to near mint/very good condition toy a well kept box normally seals the deal...
  4. Thanks to saitousad for the first alert on it! . I didnt think that the damage would be that extensive on the box, and i was quite relieved to find it was only confined on a small corner crease. Yea the discount made buying the $ 0s a lil better
  5. Just some quick shots of the zeros together...
  6. well ami-ami's damaged box 0s finally arrived at 3120 yen off the retail 31200... having chosen registered SAL option, wasnt expecting it till next week but pleasant surprise, it arrived after a week earlier than stated on ami's site! The damage was isolated to the bottom corner of the right flap where it was crinkled, with everything else in new condition! Japan quality! Bring on the reactive!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    considering the back and forth opinions on the walkure, idol paint jobs may be the point of no return for some..... Macross F had some ranka and sheryl vf25's idol kits but i dont thk they were exactly sold out items...
  8. been listening a lil bit of maddy after posting in the toys's section due to saburo's awesome blue pics.... before ikenai borderline there was..........
  9. man look at that blue...

    Hi-Metal R

    The stand could be just a brace for display purposes...remember there were arm stands in the displays in the beginning but those arent seen now supporting the arms.. OOTB, i wouldnt want any toy to have to depend on a stand, but rather as an option than none. Then, I can brace the toy as and when is desired, so joints remain stiff over time...

    Hi-Metal R

    perhaps a video from early this month would reassure fans.....the rocking music does help too...
  14. You been watching other walkure's haha... On a side note ...
  15. Addictive song...sounds/looks like 9 walkure healing the var syndrome! Just missing the jet packs and boomerang drones
  16. and now i am too!! always liked that song even more than walk like an egyptian...
  17. loving the bottom legs! but how many freedoms do you need.....dont say it.....
  18. an old time fav!! thanks for the post! susanna... am in again!
  19. wow jet7.........talk abt screaming buy moar buy moar!! how many vf-1's are enough? apparently the answer is still out on that!...(despite the obvious never enough answer)
  20. I think anticipating updated 'best edition''s of the vf-0 line is sort of a gamble, due to how arcadia would view the line. As a toy company would you release an updated version of; 1) a toy that already has 2 iterations (yamato/arcadia) 2) a recently released version that is already priced approx 2x per initial iteration... 3) for a series that last screened 14 yrs ago and has a new series anticipated to dominate headlines for the next 2 years.. possibility favors more of limited edition releases like what kajnrig mentioned but yea cant imagine what they would be priced at! anything is possible tho, but just on the above reasons i thk improvements onto the M0 valk lines would be slim... new iteration's of the M0 line would at best be at a 25th anniversary level ie 2027! thats just my 2 cents... p.s. perhaps arcadia will take up the frontier line when bandai is busy with delta hahaha

    Bandai DX VF-31

    hehe i think kawamori-san is trying to convince you to like something other than valks ..Yak Deculture! but like everyone here i think its valks before ummm not to say hoes but rather dolls.... you can also pose valks in any pose you want

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I would say your previous yamoto x macross mash-up really got me searching for those figures. They just scream style when paired together. Alas the priority was valks so there was as far as i ever did go (at one point i did have some of them in cart but didnt pull the trigger. ) So that dilemma is kinda in my head again, should there be any walkure figures to go withthe 31's...(which looking how there already are ranka and sheryl dolfies..they probably will!) And knowing how integrated the walkure are with the valks now in delta, the pull is there to get a accompanying figure... Yea not far fetched to thk some forum-ers have her accompanying the valks... mini figures may be too small to show details on the walkure outfits but if they can pull it off, all the better to them....hopefully the price wont reflect accordingly too

    Bandai DX VF-31

    notwithstanding small props, but if ever someone (bandai or megahouse) releases walkure figurines in such gorgeous detail, i thk a lot of fans would end up buying all the 31 valks just to have them displayed concurrently. imagine this with walkure and 31's... saburo would need to prep his wallet again...
  25. as far as trailers go...yes the coolest i have seen in years, helped by the awesome timing between the scene and the epic BR....
