    I didn't know if two old ones would fit together in fighter mode. Again, given the space with two revised hinges (which are 1 mm less in diameter on the main hinge) the old ones should be fine.

    Ok there's one other thing with the revised hinges. Due to how the polyamide forms there's generally some variation to the parts fit. On the revised hinge set, they will not sit flush in fighter mode position. There is no such issue with the old set. This is probably not going to happen on all of the revised hinges, but again due to how they are made it may happen. Now it does not matter for fighter mode if the hinges are flush. This is the hinge itself as there's plenty of room in the cavity in where they store in fighter mode. So again, do you guys want old or revised? The old is slightly more expensive by maybe 30 cents or less.

    Yeah they're supposed to swing freely because in all three modes the shoulders are locked by other means.

    Ok so the replacement set totally fits with room to spare however, it was a pain the ass getting those stock pins in So as far as durability goes, I was pounding these things with rubber mallets for a good half hour and they're fine Given how much space is there with the two revised hinges, I'm guessing the first one would work just as well and it's generally easier to put the pins in those So please give me some feedback and I will make the choice as for which to start selling. Both work fine. Each will need a little bit of work just to install but hey, they're mallet proof.

    Yeah but he was Mecha-ized they do that in kaiju films all the time Macross was for kids too. Why do you think they had coloring books, film comics, and toys? Nobody cares about Btech's crap. Japan had worker robots in fiction far longer.

    The revised set should be arriving today. Thank you UPS tracking.

    I think the show was over at that point. ANN says it came out on 9-30-95 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=941 http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/books/mac7_movie.htm It was a double bill with the Plus movie

    The episodes are quite dense in content. And there's some expert background painting. And stuff.

    They're like the lamest version of the Borg like even lamer than the Borg from Star Trek Voyager now that's lame

    oh you~ I remember when people didn't like the 1/48 fillers because they wanted the more obscure TV VF-1s how times have changed ( -w-) ;

    is that color canon

    If you squint you can see that their colored CAD rendering does have the Hikaru type orangey-tan nosecone. I'm not even sure many people even in Japan remember what the VF-X version looks like. The VF-X version varies depending on either the promo CG or the in game model.

    does that help
  16. VF5SS
    The extra cost is actually because of the weathering itself. Paint ain't cheap ya know.

    Yes the foam is just for keeping the pod inside during shipping. Just fiddle with the cockpit until it's gold. Usually keep the little switch just before the fighter mode position.

    Well we got until December to save up right? Start redeeming cans, bottles, or donatable organs.

    which pin are we talking about? They're all accessible to me ( ^w^) ; The main hinge in the wing has that sliding diecast part to keep them stable. The main hinge near the body can be pushed out I think. Does event appear to have a knurl.

    I just want to make sure people are happy before customers who have to pay more for international shipping jump in.
  22. VF5SS
    The revised hinge set will be arriving within a day or two. As soon as I can confirm they work, they will be made available. I'm not if I have time for another video but I'm confident these will work just as well. Also please promise me you guys won't go crazy with ordering multiple sets until we get some feedback. I know that's the most economically way with the flat shipping, but I don't want to just repeat the same problem these toys had initially. If someone wants to do a video with the replacement set, that's fine.

    Patience.

    Pop the pin out and use some glue or nail polish.
