The more I look at a CF-171 the more I want another!

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

great stuff Mr Bomber! I was only thinking the other day that I might sell my MPP-10.. and the other Transformers I got.. I wonder what kind of interest I'd get for them in here? -
I don't mind the landing gear on the VF-25 much at all actually, some of the best gear in my opinion are on the VF-19's! I love how they deploy then shift over to one side to lock! The VF-1 rear gear could have been better. If im not mistaken, when they deploy the wheels are meant to turn in the very same way the VF-31 do (and 21-22) but they don't.. that kinda sucks a little bit. why is that exactly? do the super parts come with clear canopy replacement parts!?!? hehe! wishful thinking I know.. I would like to get more sets of the SS parts but I do need to try keep costs under some sort of control.. saying that after having bought another model car the other day! I do find it easier to justify spending a lot more on a whole Valkyrie than some add on parts. Heck im still thinking about maybe getting another set of SSP's but we'll see what happens.

Yes the canopy tinting to is overkill. Even if it was done half of what it is then it would have been a massive improvement. But the rear landing gear design bugs me a great deal more so what evs..
-
yep that's it! that's the VF-31 ejection system! not even any need for an actual ejection seat as the exploding console is enough to throw the pilot clear of the plane!

you can always count on Noel with the situation appropriate animated gif! in this case the wallet destruction scene! -
hey its in the future full of hoopy and advanced stuff so im sure they would have it all sussed out! the console probably retracts away from the pilot or something.. it could also just be poor product design and the pilot figure is the wrong size for the toy's cockpit.. but none of us want to believe that! hehe!
-
same and same. Im thinking having all five Figuarts Walkure girls would look great with the VF-31's!

this is a very valid point but then I'll need to buy another two 31J so I can still keep three in each mode clean and the other three in each mode with SS parts! gahhhhh! what to do what to do!?!? -
same Nurburgring onboard stuff but now in a Porsche 918! great stuff!
-
Nice onboard footage in a Lexus LFA around the Nurburgring. Driver seems pretty excited! I guess I would be too if I was driving a LFA around there! Enjoy!

yes true but im pretty sure I'll just stick with the one set for Hayate's Valkyrie.. if or when they release the parts to suit the other variants I'll most likely get those also. I might just have to get multiples of Mirage's Valkyrie! awesome score! well done and congrats! -
these look really great!

this one's a no brainer.. the price WILL go up! LOL! -
the only problem would be is you'd be left will small triangular holes where the plastic has been trimmed away when the weapons pod is folded up.. And yes the cockpit is a wee bit cramped isn't it! hehe!
-
sorry stuffed this post up..
-
hehe! 11 of any Valkyrie type is pure madness awesomeness! The most duplicates on any one type I have is 6x TV VF-1A Brownies.. I'd love to have 11 VF-171 just as yourself! Just the cost involved is a little prohibitive as 171's are asking similar money to pre-owned 31's! On Mandarake at anyways.. 20k to 21k still considering getting a 3rd though..

only a handful of my Valks have been panel lined, the two Lancelot built for me and the few I've traded from Scream Man as he panel lines everything. I don't mind the effect but I much prefer it done very lightly rather than so dark. Still what Lolicon has done looks really good and I'll admit it does add a lot more visual depth to the Valkyrie. Makes me wonder if I should maybe attempt doing it to my extra 31J.. but that's a big maybe! Agreed! its certainly way way way up the list, top 5 for sure and maybe even as high as top 3! Im sure he had several design concepts happening all at once before deciding on what will feature in Macross Delta but yes it begs the question which came first!? As much as I ultimately prefer the more conventional wing design on the 31A, the forward swept wing layouts of the Delta Flight variants do look more specialized which im sure was key in the decision making process.

Hehe! Just got the one set of SS parts in the pipeline atm so we'll see how they pan first before jumping on more sets! That is depending how easy they are to get hold of later on.. Definitely liking them more and more as time goes on yes! -
Awesome photos Lolicon!! Those sound boosters actually kinda suit the Valk! Hehe! Neat idea! I think im done with 4 so no need for a 5th.. got a few pre orders coming up I should consider paying for instead..
