Lol. Kinda reminds me of my frustrations transforming my vf-22s back to fighter mode. Never attempt transforming a new valk in the middle of the night, unless if you are a super cool dude who never frustrates over anything. Treat the valk gently and never force any mechanism unless if you are very very veeeryy sure it will not break anything. If it wouldnt budge, lay the valk to rest, drink plenty of water, watch a movie, play a sport, take breather, eat out, enjoy life, then re-attempt transforming it again. Repat the whole process several times and eventually, either the valk or you will yield (aka give up). OK that was just an unfunny joke. AnywayS, just relax and send us more pictures surrounding the problematic areas/mechanisms, and someone on the board normally would be able to help by scribbling some notes/pointers/arrows on the pictures you took. Just ordered my first 25 valk and will see how I'll fare, solving this mechanical puzzle.

ditto. with an exception to the JM, I dont see the attraction to man-dolls and cutesy little figure.. for me JM is unique, and mainly because it has perfect transformation in a smaller package and the fact its an old 80's toy that was built to last. Well, if they release non transforming mechas like regult/Q-rau/destroids/Nos-ger, I might grab a set just to display with the JM...but deformed rick and deformed non-transforming VF-1? I'll pass.
-
yea, they shouldve diversified their line by making glaug/regult/zentraedi soldiers/never-seen-before-sculpts-but-popular-enough for their cheaper toy lineup
-
ditto and not buying.
-
Thats it. I'm ordering my cancelled pre-order that I did not order
-
well at least I know Im getting the SD regult to accompany my JM! EDITED : and the destroids! But Im sure as hell wont be getting the rick/non-transforming VF's

TF 2014 Toynami Robotech 30th releases / reissues
aaajin replied to skullmilitia's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
the sculpt looks Ben10-ish (rick) BTW, I thought they have long ditched the 1/100 line (since Maiden Japan departure from Toynami) Man I wished they had at least released the glaug, GBP-armor and the VE-1, VT-1, VF-1D that they showed before kicking the 1/100 variants bucket. At least the GBP armor, because they look pretty good and can be used on the current VF-1 lines.- 37 replies

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I think I'll hold out a bit more till april-may and use my $40 sumthing ebay bucks to get it on ebay instead. some hk sellers are selling them for $70-ish price..hopefully they'll still be there comes april. -
Oh yea, almost forgot back in the days (2003-2004) I was searching for different macross planes, the YF-23 came out in the search, when I was incrementally increasing the number after every YF and VF (i.e YF-21, 22, 23...lol). Thanks for the heads up, now watching some awesome YF-23 videos
-
Comparing the pictures, the YF-21/VF-22 looks more similar to the Sukhoi, and its as if the YF-30 is an incarnate of the YF-21/VF-22...

Its a conspiracy! Theyre making design choices that forces v1 owners to buy multiples to display in battroid and fighter! : (1) better/stubbier legs for battroid than v1 (2) modified wing mechanism (for high speed maneuver) with payload wing-mounts for fighter (can't mount the payloads on v1 wings) There you have it. Two is the min. Now, where did I put my tin hat..

me four. but because my wallet is crying for last month's 6 Yamato + 2 Joke Machine purchases...gonna see if I can afford it at release. lol

which shipping option did you choose? I think price without shipping is about $46...if +$20 is for EMS, then I'm on it -

Reigniting old flames..these 2 just arrived last weekend -
this thread makes me wonder if anyone had attempted to paint the VF-1 kit with YF-19 paint scheme? (or an Isamu VF-1) point being, Isamu may as well be a cash cow, just like Ozma, for Macross franchise.

This song auto played in my mind when I saw that caped battroid picture from masterfile : "saber rider...and the star sheriff *whip-sound* of the star"

haha. got me there. ignorance is a bliss...and you took that blissful moment away from me!

Main reason for me not gettin the MacF valks is partly in Gakken's Point #1. The show just doesnt stick..not much of a storyline, felt too "cartoony" & anime-ish, and the lack of realism in the show, unlike SDF-movie/Plus/Zero (minus Zero's episode 4 & 5 of zero, which a bit too alien-ish, wouldve liked it better if they toned it down a bit) and the valks are too flashy. The only paint scheme I can swallow is the 25A..which I probably will regret not getting few months ahead when the prices start to bloat..heh. EDITED : to each their own
-
Yeah, personally I'd love the *cheyene or the construction destroids (macrossF), but from the perspective of profit making, the phalanx will be a better choice with less development time using Yamato's prototype and they also share common lower-waist parts with the tomahawk and defender. edited : got mixed up with cheyene & tomahawk...since both are red indian tribes..
-
If Arcadia really picks up where Yamato had left, then the next destroid would be the phalanx, if they ever venture into the destroid line which did not go too well for Yamato due to the price point. Well, now that the 1/60 VF-1 is getting more expensive ($170-ish), maybe they can justify selling the destroids at a $100+ price point?. Saw prototype pics of the phalanx by Yamato, not sure if it was cancelled or was just left hanging because of the company restructure.
