Hm I watched Spaceballs the other day and I thought somebody should make a toy out of this spacecraft. Cheer up guys it's not the end of the world Bandai is still producing Valkyries right?
-
Aw, finally some love for poor Kakizaki! He deserves it.
-
I had the same feeling. At first glance I thought it was a custom made Yamato kit but this is wicked cool stuff.
-
Veef made a video for his replacement parts. There you can see the part that's cracked. Basically it's the pin in the shoulder hinge that is to big due to its star-shaped ends for the fit. You can see some pictures of cracked shoulder hinges in the beginning of the video.

Gawk at these piles of Macross toys..Back in the day...
Scyla replied to VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM's topic in Toys
Yea you're right I guess the number of boxes in the images Kevin shared are greater then the number of items HLJ receives from Bandai. -
Well the chest armor of the Super Part also doesn't contain missile pods. So non missile firing breast holders are not unknown to the Macross universe. Also the Macross Mecha Manual lists no missiles besides the armament under the wings and the four reaction missiles in the rocket launcher on the left arm. Maybe the developer of Macross 30 had the same idea when they saw the chest armor. The chest of the Armored VF-25S fires missiles then all chests should fire some and the Super VF-171 had not enough punch so now it fires missiles even if it's not canon. Their I said the c-word now I feel bad.

I just realized that HLJ had no preorders up. I wonder if they abandoned the Bandai DX Chogokin Valkyrie line due to the fuss with the preorders. Or were the preorders up and I didn't noticed it.
-
Thanks master. I'm mostly interested if the SMS logo on the base of the stand is now painted and if a set of head lasers made out of hard plastic are included. Also if the SMS 030 printing on the wings is still white on white.
-
And any differences with the first release?
-
Thanks jenius I will read it asap! So after reading the review I really hope Bandai makes a set for the CF. It's really sad that the missile launcher on the right arm doesn't do anything. Especially since the Armor and Super Parts have movable nozzles and opening missile pod doors. They look great though.
-
I really like the effect parts you made for the VF-25S zoffy. They look great. Do you plan to build additional parts for the other missile pods? On a second thought that might be not a good idea because you wouldn't be able to see Ozma with all that missile fume.
-
I still don't like those Ikea cabinets.
-
Wait let me think about it.... ...no *transforms the Valkyrie back into Battroid-Mode*
-
Honestly that is really funny.
-
I just figured out that my Armored VF-25S is to huge for my cabinets in Fighter-Mode
-
Just fold away with your whole apartment! A DX Chogokin YF-29 should be able to do that... ...man that sounded like a total nerd.
-
If Yamato really went bankrupt it's sad to see that they all the Valkyries that the needed to sell to be profitable are now highly desired items that are going to be sold out everywhere.
-
I have no problems with the color of the intake colors because the VF-19 from M7 looks like an anime super hero and not like a piece of actually military equipment unlike the YF-19. So it's totally okay for them to have bright colors.
-
I would be really sad if the re-issue would include a painted stand and head-lasers out of hard plastic. I have a bad feeling about this.

I don't have any Detolfs but the other "furniture" that I have from IKEA is easy to assemble and dissemble. Because of the amount of glass a Detolf has I would advise to dissemble it otherwise you might risk breaking the glass when you transport it. Be careful large panels made out of glass can break easily so pay attention during transporting. Just make sure you don't lose the included tools.
-
True. I also tried to find some screenshots of the YF-30 schemes but didn't find much. I don't know how hard it is to make screenshots from a PS3 but if someone can supply us with more images just do it. I really would love to see more of the YF-30.
-
You forget that Macross 2 is wiped from existence. So no love for Ishtar and no love for the VF-2SS. So it should be either Sharon Apple or Sarah Nome.
-
So you want a Masterpiece Jetfire that isn't a Valkyrie? If so no need to hate Bandai for owning the rights for the old Takatoku toys. I don't know what it is but the Jetfire toy was never Jetifre for me. Especially now that I know what happened in the 80s. Do you mind the question if you think that Classics Jetfire is an accurate representation of the character?
-
I honestly don't get that. I wouldn't sell this mode or the if I where Bandai. Besides I doubt that Takara Tomy (an thus Hasbro) are interested in a Masterpiece Jetfire that looks like a Macross Valkyrie. Transformers look like Transformers and not like Valkyries. Just because we got through curious ways in the 80s a Transformers toy that wasn't a Transformer and didn't look like his animation/comic counterpart doesn't mean it has today any relevance in building brand recognition from Takara Tomy (since they are the company that design the entries in the Masterpiece line). They even started to develop a own version of Jetfire that incorporates many design characteristic of the 80s toy but interpret them in the Transformers style. They even created a back-story why the toy has a face with a mouth plate (that looks like a VF-1S) and one without (some sort of mind-control helmet where the head lasers are antennas) that looks like the Jetfire from the cartoon. So if a Masterpiece Jetfire will be released it will be oriented on the Transformers design language and art style and most definitely not on something from the Macross universe. Although Transformers fans are known for their total and utter ignorance (relax guys just kidding ) most collector that are into the Takara Tomy Masterpiece line know what happened with the Jetfire toys from the 80s and know that it has nothing to do with Transformers and Jetfire himself. Perhaps most of them would rather have a Masterpiece version of the cartoon Jetfire because they know what a Macross Valkyrie looks like (unlike in the mid 80s). I personally would rather have a cartoon Jetfire as a Masterpiece. I mean why does Jetfire even has a "mid-transformation"-mode (i.e. Gerwalk)? Plus if you want a Masterpiece transformation-scheme for the G1 Jetfire Yamato is (or should I say was) the place ho go. The G1 Jetfire wasn't a Transformer to begin with so why not stick to the original?
