    I think “Special” refers to weapons packs like Strike parts and “Custom” and “Use” refer to designated Mecha.

    Well this showed up on my FB feed. The translation is hilarious!

    Holy...That looks amazing!! The newly integrated details make it look like a model. Glad to hear you’re back to work.

    Without a doubt it looks way better. I know the correct colors should be red but it just seemed right that the heat shields should be blacked out, as should be the background of the Jolly Roger emblem on the boosters. All VF-1S squadron leaders would stand out much better this way. Leave the color arch shield ad booster marking for the VF-1As.

    Apparently there seems to be an issue with Bandai QA scattered through out the VF productions. When I purchased my first VF-1D is was missing the large wing with the Macross Kite. After many attempts to get the missing wing the retailer just refunded my money as said for me to keep the toy. It sill bugs me that I don’t have the missing wing. If anyone out there has one to sell it I would greatly appreciate it.

    These figures are pure unadulterated fun. So much thought and engineering went into these and the figures tells it all.

    Here is an interesting bit for everyone. At the end of the Strike VF-1S/Elintseeker production run there was an uneven production run of VFs to Armour. More VFs were produced and were sold to various retailers through out the US accompanied with Matsushiro armor. From a story I was told involved Pony Go Round in San Francisco, CA. The owner was given a rare opportunity to buy stock in mismatched VFs with Jetfire Armor. These were sold at a steep discount to the retailer and then these ended up in the common market. So this is why you see VE-1 and VF-1S Valkyries with Jetfire Armor from Matsushiro. IIRC, this all took place in mid 1990s. The source was Ravishing Rick an old MW member on the boards. I actually have each of the two versions with Jetfire armor. It’s easy to tell when these are real and not a Frankenstein mash up but I won’t give away the tells. Hope this cleared up a bit of mystique from Valkyries of our past.

    Post a picture. Let’s see what we can do to figure out your mysterious parts.

    I just received my second complete and beautiful YF-25 Prophecy for 125.00 shipped. So happy at this moment.

    Excellent video. Really demonstrates the capabilities of your SDeFo-1. Really need to get one, but I don’t have a 3D printer.

    Very cool. The Macross game as a background is a nice touch.

    Looking sharp!!

    Extremely talented individual. Thank you for the link.

    Incredible sculpt and amazing build! The only details I am not a fan of are all the “CAUTION” and “WARNING” signs. Is there other work from the builder?
  16. nightmareB4macross
    Clever use of the fast packs. Nicely built!
  17. nightmareB4macross
    Wow! Nice job Gatsu!

    The changes made to the chest are done really well. Are you using putty to reshape the chest area?
  19. nightmareB4macross
    I think it was more over production of the ankle assembly than the leg.

    Super clean unboxed Matsushiro Jetfire with painted symbol. Sorry about the background mess. Been searching for items and also doing some clean up.

    This subject gets very confusing and I often get confused just talking about the leg instead of the ankle or vice versa. In order to help everyone here especially myself, here is a picture of fighter mode legs. In the picture with the angles extended you can see the correct orientation of the ankles as they relate to the leg. In the picture with ankles retracted you can see in the yellow circle how the foot points outwards and is not in alignment with the leg. Hope this helps someone. If anyone needs the extra legs flanking the SV-51 by all means hit me up. I bought these from apptt4, a really cool member from Australia who helped me out when in was need. So now I don’t need them as my Arcadia is finally in great working order. Thanks again apptt4.

    If you were lucky enough to get preorder, then yes. If not, well no. The Kairos is w awesome but not for the insane prices on the second and third markets. It sure would be nice if Bandai released another wave of these.
  23. nightmareB4macross
    Great minds think alike.

    That display is Dynomight!!

    The TV-1A Max did not come with the figure as they were supposed to from the original release. What you would have to do is contact the retailer to send you the hands that were meant to accompany the figure since those came in later from Yamato. The 4 hands would arrive in a small white box with a clear clamshell inside holding the parts in place. Kakyzaky on the other hand did come with hands inside the box. Max is relatively easy to come across nowadays but Kakyzaky is like a herpetic flare up in that you just you just never know when he’ll pop up.
