love how good that YF-21 looks!
-
Just having a glance over at my VF-19 in fighter mode I's say it definitely would be visible.. heck I didn't think of that..
-
Hehe! I didn't mean to make that sound like I was correcting your comment in anyway! I think this must be in every delivery drivers hand book or training! Explains a lot.. Seems like she was just pissed at you for not being home and having to hold on to your parcel! either that or she just forgot to stop at the next closest and only realized she still had your parcel on board when she was miles away at another location. Yep I don't believe that 2nd reason at all myself either.

Yes that does look very good! Definitely helps make the head look a lot less bare. Might have to do this to mine!

Don't get me wrong I do like the design of the VF-2SS and when I first saw the pics of it I thought that this could end up becoming a good thing. Its just that it doesn't seemed to have progressed much if at all from those early photos which is both disappointing and a little worrying as although it does look "ok" in those early photos it just doesn't look great either. I was hoping they would have refined it a bit more by the time the pre-orders opened but going by the photos in the store listings it clearly has not. Like I said, who knows they may just be holding back any more development pics and are yet to reveal the final product but I as it looks as of those photos im not terribly impressed and don't believe its going to be worth the asking price SAP included or not.. So I am still debating whether or not to place a PO with the pay later or cancel if need be.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Hehe! yep those cabinet bases are horrendous aren't they! First thing I did when I got them was cover them over! All I did was cut out a section of either sheet steel or lexan (used a combination of both across all 6 cabinets I currently have) and gave them a few coats of paint with some spray can satin black. Worked a treat and you don't see that awful flowery patter. Geez Ikea what were you thinking!?!? Thanks mate! and yes by all means go for it! Well yeah cos VF-17's are kinda icky.. I have thought about getting at least a VF-17S a few times but they just don't "do it for me" if you know what I mean.. Thank you for the compliment! And yes I had to setup the Emerald Force display! How could you not! -
I am indeed. Im using a base from a CF-171.. I think it looks more relevant considering the Percival is n.u.n. and not sms.. That was very silly of Bandai to package that base in with it. Makes you wonder.. Nor Ozma if I recall correctly.. I am going to trim out that section of the display stand with a dremel as it still causes awkwardness with the bayonet gunpod..

Thanks Abbadon! I've been occasionally moving things around to make things look a little more interesting. I feel it's slowly getting there.. -

Thought I'd post up some pics of my updated displays after the re-shuffle.. packed a few doubles away to help avoid excessive clutter. Hope you guys like em! -
Yes good thing they arrived together! He was very happy to get his! We both love them! And yes I guess im very fortunate that we share the same passion in Macross! I must say its loads of fun to just sit, admire Valks, talk about and watch Macross!

At this point there are still many unknowns with the Evolution toy.. we haven't seen any further development photos of their product so we don't know how far things have come along. Maybe they have done more research and development incorporating improvements and features but are yet to reveal any of it. I guess we can only just wait and see how things pan out. But I kinda get the gut feeling that this Valk may be Evolution Toys one and only attempt at anything Macross.. The fact pointed out by Graham that there appears to be no visible indication of any way to attach add on parts which further convinces me that this toy was only ever meant as a "testing the waters" affair and they indeed have made no plans for any additional parts or variants to be made available. Are those people who have placed pre-orders based on the photos we have seen so far really that happy or content with the toy in its current and possibly release state? Even early prototype photo's of past and current Yamato/Arcadia & Bandai Valks this early before release looked a heck of a lot more complete than the Evolution Toy does. I dunno.. maybe im being too critical at this early stage and need to give things a little more time perhaps?

That looks mega! So is that an actual painted custom job or just some photoshop trickery!? The image is a little too grainy to properly tell.. looks bloody good though! But on the other hand Jenius is right.. these things are too rare to have covered up!
-

-

ahh yes this may be the case.. I know I have used credit card for payment with CDJ but it may have been for an item that was readily in stock for which I was charged immediately. All other times including PO's I've used paypal and been charged immediately.

Hey Noel, yeah CDJ have always been good. No issues. Even if I've wanted to cancel my PO they've happily refunded me. But yes you have to pay in full including postage when pre ordering with them. To be honest i really don't mind doing so. I prefer knowing that the payment is done and i dont have to worry about it later.
