Grayson72, that is a really great build. Looks so nice and clean.

I'll post a pic later. As of now, I need to complete the bridge and a few other details. In the meantime, just keep your eyes on the sig for updates. *Ball jointed shoulders cannons really help cruiser mode. While ankle, knee, and hip joints help "storm attacker mode".

Good ol' Hikaru is always a welcomed site for sore eyes. Thanks for sharing. Love those 1/48's.

I think you mean it's like buying parts for your home and not building it. It's not just approval, it's compromise. Most single guys, lounging around headless manequins, juts don't get it.

Your work is excellent, as always.

So would I. Maybe, Yamato could also release Mylene's hand-held keyboard and a Gubaba to go with it. Pure awesome.

Well, in defense of BBTS, there are kit collectors who never actually build their kits. So the person looking for premium kit with a top quality box would might opt to purchase it with this in mind.

What ever are you trippin' on?

Concerning in what way?

Looks like a great start.

IIf the ankle is composed just as the destroids, then the fire valkyrie will be just fine.

Damn, Yamato!!! That VF is all kinds of delicious. Great job.

Great job!!!! Are the intakes supposed to remain white? Can you take pics of the underside? Thanks, NB4M

FYI, folks, these are staring to show up throughout E-bay. So long, exclusivity!

I can't say enough of just how impressive your scratch-building and painting levels have developed. Excellent work.

There are four PE valkyries in the set. Neat-O!!

He's off on a shopping spree!

Trully EPIC! I love the last pic, very iconic.

Also, there was lottery for an all black VF-1J, aka; credit card call. IIRC there was only one winner.

My thoughts and well wishes go out to all people of Japan and those affected by this incident. I'm glad to hear that our MW bretheren are all well and accounted for.

Don't turn this into another 1/48 vs. 1/60 V.2 thread. We all get it, we understand, you've made yourself loud and clear, your point is clear, we know what your saying... ...redundancy makes your point very bland. Please just offer a solution or your two cents to the topic at hand. Thanks,

IIRC, in the past a few members would take the valkyries out of the original boxes. Bag the valkyries and accessories Place them in totes. Then flatten the boxes. Trays would be stacked seperately. And manual and stickers sheets would be filed away in folders or in the same totes. There were pictures of Kensei's collection demonstrating this very method. I always thought about doing this myself, but as my collection grows, everytime I get a new shipment in I have to reorganize my allocated storage. The good thing is I am done collecting 1/48s, I have more than enough.

Wow, prices are getting steeper for every new issue. But, in order to show support for the new mold and the possibility of future releases, I will be buying a first edition. The Fire Valkyrie looks like a champ!

Not into the whole statuette version of this, but it is better than nothing at all. Also, I wouldn't mind if the assembly was that of the T-Rex soldier, and a cloth coat was made. It would be rather neat to customize this figure with Revoltech joints for greater use and display. Of course this could present itself as an "Exclusive" under the HDP kit realm. Which is ok, presumably that is scaled as a 1/48 kit to later be sold as a 1/60 toy.

This is bit of a tough question to answer, but here goes: 1/55 VE-1 ElintSeeker - Bandai 1/55 VT-1 Super Ostrich - Bandai 1/55 Super Valkyrie - Takatoku 1/55 GBP-!S - Takatoku While on the non-Macross (mecha related) items, I would say: 1/40 Olsen Orguroid - Takatoku 1/35 Bilbine - Takatoku
