yeah, I got mine through them. Was only in customs for a few hours and usps delivered it the next day.

yup, sitting on top of a man's nose, mouth and jaw...

With that honker of a nose and that big ass chin and jaw... yeah, she looks like a man with a giant rack.

but she looks like a man... a man with a lot of wood on his porch.

Thought the A plot and the solution was pretty obvious, thought the actors did a wonderful job selling it. Ming-Na can do no wrong.

nice, fantastic photos!

Well, just be careful posing the legs, cuz the hip guns fall off.. and the shoulders cuz the shoulder missile pod things might pop off (they have no up and down play so if you move the shoulders enough they'll put pressure on the missile pods. Course, easy fix, just swing them out of the way). And the wings flop around. But other than that it holds together pretty well in battroid. After a while you learn what it can't and can do and the armor hides a lot of the flaws of the DX sculpt, like the urkel pants. It has faults but it's also a nicely imposing hunk of plastic and diecast and the design is just ridiculously aggressive, how can you not love it?

valkyrie cliques can be so cruel

"Kira Yamato, Strike Freedom, taking a crap on the franchise!"

huh, so DX 27 actually looks pretty good there. guess I was wrong

funny how the canon guys don't have theirs...

pst.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29308

I can't imagine why it would be better. they didn't even design the toy with it's own accessories in mind, I can't imagine they really put much thought into turning it into the 27. And the BTW, it would have have been ridiculously easy to make the gun stowable without the stupid clip on peg, there's enough space in the back of the gun pod for a fold away peg... but instead they decided to put two screws there.

My VE slowly banks away in honor of your saddness

Let me just say... bandai QC sucks, straight out of the box: oh well... At least it's fun to pose... without armor.

nice, I love it when people decide to mod 200 dollar toys! I've thought about painting the engine in chrome. that grey is just pretty blah

Thanks. Yeah, they're somewhere between the ver 1 1/60 vf-1 and the 1/48 vf-1... I honestly don't think they compare to any of the current 1/60 lines.. maybe the 1/60 yf-19. If you know what you're getting it's not bad but you might just want to wait for the 1/48 model.

got mine today as well... back seat dude goes in no problem. He looks like he doesn't fit but the canopy closes fully

Okay... so the armor had to have been an after thought. The way the forearm pieces fit, they keep the arms from laying down properly in fighter mode. Same with the calf armor, they keep the wing glove peg from connecting properly so the whole thing is wonky... you don't see it because of the way the hip gun armor covers everything but the transformation is pretty much broken with the armor on. The fit is horrible as well.. forearm armor, crotch armor.. all fall off at the drop of the the hat. The hip guns are attached via ball joint but the new pieces designed to fit the hip armor are so loose they jut pop off whenever they're touched or manipulated. The wing gloves don't lock well in battroid, one side so-so, the other side not at all, it's constantly flopping about. And in general, it's just cheap. In fighter mode the back plate wasn't designed with the ozma head in mind so there's a giant gap around the head and similarly there's little grooves to accommodate the head lasers, also not designed for the ozma head. Those little lasers also get squished by the shoulder missile things in fightermode, care is needed there not to pinch or snap the ridiculously thin laser barrels. Transformation wise it's very similar to the sv-51 but more frustrating because things are constantly falling off, more so with the armor on. The forearm and crotch armor need better locking systems, magnets even. The calf armor is just poorly thought out compared to the yamato GBP armor requiring removing the pant cuffs to slide on and off instead of the logical clam shell design which they almost did but in the end didn't... detail wise it's a mixed bag. There's tons of little surface details but then lots of stuff like the optics on the head and sensors on the nose cone are painted on. There's detailing on the inside of the feet but there's no engine detailing, look inside and it's just the mechanics for the feet. It's been said the wings curve up on purpose, but I don't think so... I think it's a shitty mold and the wings are warped. It's a decent piece. If you like the design and don't want to build a model, it's fine-ish. I don't think it's worth the nearly 200 dollars though. Sure you get a lot compared to a yamato but honestly, this thing is comparable to the konig monster in terms of design and the way everything fits together.

omg, with the armor on... you look at it funny and things fall off. It's warming on me... but it makes the 1/48 GBP armor look secure and well thought out.

Just got my first DX... probably will be my only DX. like the missing link between the ver1 1/60 and the 1/48... and yes, it came slick with oil and finger prints. not a big deal, but kinda gross.

Not avoid, but no reason to go out of your way to g... unless you're looking for over priced 90's anime.
