YF-23? You sure?

Pretty much the whole paragraph. IMHO, it would have been nice to make references between lineart and product differences. I understand how dissapointing this toy is, but you haven't given it a chance to demonstrate its short comings when basing knowledge from a show that has no tie in to what CMs was trying to acheive. If anything, you could remove this paragraph altogether or just add it to you conclusion. Thanks for hearing me out.

Has anyone built this kit?

From you site: "The packaging is a bit annoying in the difference between the two boxes appears to only be a red(Stick) or green(Ley) square on the front. Also, wasn’t his name Ray? At any rate, the toy comes with some extras, namely a green plastic twig meant to be a display stand (taped to the back of the tray as pictured below), some replacement locks for the metal bars (that’s the pieces with the stand), and some tiny storage bins like the ones always shown falling off the bike when it transformed in the show. Stick’s toy also comes with a separate hand holding his big rifle which is a bummer to me since the rifle can’t be removed and put on the front of the bike (like Scott does in The Shadow Chronicles). Also, if Stick has that extra why doesn’t Rand have a hand holding a Gallant? The twig-like “stand” does a half-decent job but a real stand could have added a lot to the range of cool poses that could have been done. As it is this stand is more a neccessity than an extra as the toy is rather back-heavy in armor mode. Decals aren’t necessary but the instructions definitely are. Too bad we don’t get extra helmetless heads to swap on." This sounds more like whining than a review. Also you might want to stick to the appropriate reference point, these are Mospeada toys and NOT Robotech toys. Anything that occured in the Shadow Chronicles should remain there an not pertain to these renditions. Just how does the CMs figure compare to the Gakken? It doesn't, the Gakken is definitely in a league of it's own. My two cents.

Think Macross Zero.

Then that would be two destroids. The cheyene and the monster

Almost finished, nah, just strike the almost. Come to the Con and find out for yourself.

A two seater sure would be nice.

Sign me up for everything but the Tourney. I'm waaaaaaayyy to rusty to play.

Expired? Mr. March, bring it back.

Damn, the legs on the YF-21 are very long! Interesting, to say the least. I might have to pick up a set just for fun.

Sounds like you've got a lot of work to do. Just don't stop. It's taken me a really long time to finally make the VF-1D work perfectly. Hopefully you can finish just in time for this year's Con.

VF-1S and Strike Pack I've located this set, but the GBP-1S and VF-1J is similar. Same blue box.

I think it's just a re-issue of the VF-1J with Super Parts. The only bundle set (IIRC) to appear was the TOYS 'R US Japanese release in a big blue box. It was a VF-1J and GBP-1S both in standard boxes.

Awesome!!!! Great job, hope it makes it (complete) to the Con. And don't be lazy, finish this and the Tled.

I don't like you. My birthday is coming up, send me the Mospeada. Just kidding, even I wouldn't give that to my worst enemy. Seriously, I wouldn't put it past someone (ei: A!@#!*209, orange@#$, etc...) to sell these as new without disclosing any defects of the product.

I thought the clip shield was an after thought for the '84 Strike Valkyrie. It did come with the VF-1A but not the Strike. The red clip shield would be purchased seperately. If xstoys is around, he can give us more insight on this plus a picture of the clip shield.

Are you posting while drunk? If not, then you should. You'd more likely see a two seater Focker being liquored up, than Yamato ever producing it. *******C'mon stick to the thread.

Seems a bit too premature to with the VF-1J, but I could be wrong. I'm leaning more towards Max 1S Strike and then Hikaru 1S Strike, or vice-versa.

Yes and No. The kit will be available at MWCon 2008 and thereafter. This kit, while started with CA's Conv Kit, doesn't really share parts with Cap'n's kit. There a lot of new parts. Just look at my avatar. **HEY KICKER HOW ABOUT SOME SHOTS IN GERWALK MODE?

Any updates?

Did anyone happen to notice the hands at the end of the commercial? Looks to be the resized DYRL hands released with 1/48 GBP-1S. So are the hands removable? Also, it seems that the legs telescope at the knees. I could be wrong, but it looks like they do. Plus it appears Yamato decided on the old 1/60 style feet. They are very apparent from the way you can see the pivot points, during the transformation sequence form fighter to G-E-R-W-A-L-K.

Damn, I really need to catch up. I was up to episode five... gotta catch up. This is a real gem of a series.

Hi Paragon, Welcome to Macrossworld. Those are really nice cardmodels. That VC-33 looks killer.
