Finally got a 1/48 to put it on. (not that I dont have any 1/48 but they are all in LA while im in Pitt) Waiting for my Weathered VF-1S to put this guy on.

You should probably ask the current owner, xstoys. IIRC even he doesnt know.

NMB4M beat me to it. but as I dont have a 1/48 with me in pittsburgh I cant display it. so i will tease you guys with a picture of my TH goodness.

yep my friend contacted me as well to let me know about that email.

well so far so good for me. I still have my doubts until it actually arrives at my friend's house in Japan.

Nice but did I miss the 1/55? I dont see any Ostrich, elint or Strikes.

So any MW fans going to Bot Con in Ohio this year? I will be there helping my friend video the event and interviews for his documentary. I will also help run the booth.

The should reissue the GBP Armour giftset but bundle it with the VF-1J.

Does Japan's culture ever celebrate or partake in April Fool's?

Well so far so good for me. My friend called me a little while ago to let me know his gf got the confirmation email. It said that they will send a second email out when it is ready to ship. Then they will ask for payment info (credit card info etc) So it looks like i may have gotten my first 1/48 Fokker as a weathered one. lets keep thinking good thoughts shall we?

Cross your fingers. With the help of my japanese airsoft friend, I was able to use his gf's home address and info. She goes back to japan for her sister's wedding, in May. So here's hopping everything went smoothly. Due to the fact that the Yamato online shopping server was bombarded It took 1.5 hours for me to get thru. So I sent my friend and his gf home early and continued to try to get thru. finally I got thru and utilizing my kindergarten japanese proficiency and conversing with my friend over the phone I was able to enter in all of his gf's info. the weird part was that I clicked on the selection for credit card ppayment but it never asked for a credit card number. According to my friend, Yamato will confirm the order on their end and if they have the product available, they will send an email asking for payment/credit card info. weird. But here's hoping I did everything correctly while ordering.

Well guys im glad you enjoyed my pictures. Unfortunately shooting it is the closest I will be to owning one. We were all at Hirohawa's house as he just finished the valk. The grey really makes the armor pop. It is a shame you guys could not see what was in the viewfinder. The pictures hardly express the awesomeness we saw thru the viewfinder, let alone getting a chance to not only see but to handle the Thunder Hammer in person. In regards to the "Thunder Hummer" this is artistic license. As we all well know, the japanese do have some issues with proof reading their translations. I believe the GBP has always had the knick-name Thunder Hammer. also if you look at the decals it is a lightning bolt and a HAMMER not a hummer. so it only stand to reason that it is supposed to be Hammer. The hands are recasts of EternalD's hands. He made these before the 1/48 GBP came out with their hands. Here is a pic of it with the hatches closed. Yes the kneecap was not postioned in place properly. oh well deal with it. I got to play with the thunderhammer so nah nah haha.

it is 1:1. That is my autocross helmet. well it was my friends old kart helmet. so i decided to paint it. The shoulder pads are the Yamato Shoulder pads. XStoys let me put my helmet on it. Yeah that is what it is. I actually got the prepainted one from Fulcy. I remember it being expensive. but im lazy and I like the pre-painted one. so he sold me one of his.

you want to hog the spotlight huh?

I cant remember. Fulcy could tell you. it is for gundams and stuff.

VF-1D

Here you go. Enjoy.

how about this one? Or this? I dont see too many joke machines here so here we go.

Here is the bandai trilogy (note that I dont consider the VF-1A Hikaru a part of the trilogy haha)

Well the best would have to be the foriegn boots. like the Taiwanese ones and the french ones.

I find it so odd that she is willing to do Tekkoshocon but not MWCon haha.

not true. there are better ones. but the joon's were the best in terms of price and availability.
