Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
spanner replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Congrats on your fine purchase! Same for me the VF-27 is my fav Frontier Valk too! Im gunning for Brera in that knife fight! Get lost Alto! =D Oh just noticed.. you have Michaels supers on Alto!? Still works I guess! -
Nice little collection! Ah cool Mech Warrior stuff too! And i see a Timberwolf there also!
-
Oh are they from DYRL!? a detail i was not aware of.. I had always thought they were from the TV series. Either way id be happy with one. i think most other major places have sold out their allocation of pre orders.. I have ordered stuff from HKC in the past without issues If that helps..
-
ahhh yes im gonna skip the weathered Max-S.. If I can find the Zentraedi suit at a reasonable price then I'll certainly get one. But I'd need another TV Max to go with it.. The smoke effects are ok but im not gonna get em.
-
whoa! look at that yellowing! its quite intense eh! you need to push the chest piece down a little further.. It should be easy enough to just dismantle the legs and paint those parts to match. Or you could brush paint the landing gear doors white. Finding a gun pod might be tough, I've tried before but no one seemed to have or want to let one go.. Im sure you can find decals from somewhere. You can get them printed easy enough too. But for $33 you've done quite well considering!
-
gee I hope there isn't something I missed!?!? hehe! no seriously..
-
As a starting point for basic overall dimensions and functions, any v2 VF-1 from Yamato or the Arcadia releases is your best option. They are pretty much 95% (or greater) accurate or true to the form. Those ones from HKC are pretty well priced. They are "A" & "J" variants but it would be easy enough to model a different head unit from images off the net! You surely won't need to spend upwards of $400 unless you were getting something a lot more rare or special. Maybe you can find someone on this forum who lives close by who is willing to lend you one. I have 3 currently boxed up as im out of display room but im in Australia so that wouldn't work.. Then I would get hold of some official line art material or the VF-1 Master Files to find and or correct any other minor details / inaccuracies. Best of luck with your project!

especially love these darker Valks!! they look stealthy and deadly cool!
-
Hehehe!!! yeah.. nahhh.. as much as I would love to buy that many, I seriously need to reduce my spendings a bit! but knowing me it might still happen! LOL!
-
Lovely shot Dapro! All three look great don't they! Awesome display you have there cdidio! he Lego VF-1 looks very cool! love the missile effects! Those Destroids look friggin awesome too! I think that is the 1/72 kit.. looks pretty good eh! Wish Yamato had made the whole lot of em..
-
Hehe! How cool is that! Have you posted up a pic of your VF-1D previously!? It kinda rings a bell.. Its a cool looking pose eh!
-
Thanks mate! Those missiles are from the 171 Armor set! I think they go nicely with Cav! Hehe! yes i leave the intake covers on all my VF-1! The visible fan blades really bug me and i think they look total crap.. On most jet fighters you cant even see the fans! This should be the same for the VF-1 as the engines are mounted deep in the legs.. Probably are my only major gripe about the Valkyrie toys. In fact I don't like having the fan blades visible on any of my Valks!
-
Nasty stuff! The fact that this is happening so soon after release makes wonder if Arcadia actually did any long term durability testing on these things! Definitely myself included plan on never extending the hips! It is disappointing seeing that the function is there so you should be able to use it with reasonable confidence that the thing won't crumble in your hands especially considering the price we have to pay for these things now days.. Jenius, how did you fix the problem with yours?
-
Feeling a little under the weather and a little bored as a result, so I thought i'd do a little "house work" and give my Macross collection a dusting off.. Not the best job.. ok so the feather duster was rather ineffective and its got nothing (or not much anyways) to do with me being somewhat lazy. Took some photos as I figured you guys don't mind looking at countless photos of Valkyries! apologies for poor quality and low light.. I'd really like to do a total re shuffle of my displays in an effort to make them look a little more exciting and dynamic! Feel free to provide some ideas! Will need another few display cabinets too..

-
I currently have 29x VF-1.. of which includes a double and a triple. I have 2x Hikaru DYRL VF-1A and 3x Kakizaki TV VF-1A.. But then I will have 31x VF-1 once my two VF-1J GBP sets arrive! hehe! not enough! never enough! the more the merrier!
-
Rather than a re-issue of the SV-51, a renewal version would be better as they do need to be improved like the Zero has been.. Maybe they could do more cannon fodder versions of existing types perhaps? I'd love to have a CF VF-22 for example.. in fact there are plenty of other variants in the Valkyrie Master Files which look cool too!
-
Well how about if I sent you funds for a lot of 10x for example!? would you be willing to restart production? or even for 20x of! Yeah I guess we could do that!
-
$33 is pretty good! Especially if its in good shape! if it were $133 then that's a straight up no! Ahhh ok cool. I never had any of the super parts for my old v1 lot.. I remember seeing a few v2 VF-1 that had sold on Mandarake for around 4000 yen!!! sheesh! where was I when things were being given away! http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1010102690&ref=list http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1002489812&ref=list And there were a few v1 which sold for half those prices!
-
haha! yep you got me.. white was photoshopped! (obviously!)
-
The v1 line aren't a particularly nice toy especially compared to the v2. Chalk and cheese really! I had almost the whole lot of them but I dont think I had any breakages but then again im pretty careful with my stuff. They are more prone to crappiness to be honest! Id probably steer clear of them unless you're getting it either dirt cheap or for free. And im not sure if there are any visual clues in order to tell the difference between updates like with the v2 line.. first I've of it actually!
-
Definitely will pick up a few this time if he ever decides to do them again!
-
Che Bella!!!

With white goggles Noel! Happy now!?!? hahaha!!!
