Vostok 7

The Max version never has had a figure but the Millia one used to, I don't think the newer releases do though. Not that the figure was much, though (the add-on figure set was much better). Vostok 7

Where's that Origin Gundam from? It looks very MSIA-y and I didn't know they made Origin MSIAs. I love the Origin (re)designs, ESPECIALLY the very Kerberos-esq Zaku II. Vostok 7

No potentially weak spots? Joints solid? Holds poses well? No floppiness? Vostok 7

Not really! Vostok 7

Wow, sounds like Beagle hit the slightly overpriced ball out of the park. Impressive for a first effort! I might have to make one of these happen ASAP. Honestly, this is the first time I've looked at a transformable toy (ESPECIALLY a ride-armor) and not been able to pick out all the issues that will drive my perfectionism nuts, and the first time that owner pictures make the thing look just as good as the manufacturer glamor-shots. I'm impressed. I hope we see more! Vostok 7

Those who have the Beagle, would you say it's worth the asking price? Vostok 7

Nothing like trying to hide a few tons of multi-story robotic armor! Lookin' good! Vostok 7

And it seems that they've finally hit a VF-1 Cocktail that can successfully be mass produced. HOPEFULLY this means we will see a lot of non-canon schemes, which is what I'm most hopeful for! I mean, you can only milk the TV show and movie so long. Vostok 7

Not so much the VF-9, but I would KILL for a Variable Glaug, ESPECIALLY if it could be converted into the UN Spacy version with the micronian cockpit. Vostok 7

:lol: Vostok 7

Whos to say they aren't working on one? Lord knows how long it took for them to work on the 1/60 YF-19, and that was based on a valk they'd already made! The VF-4 is pretty complicated, especially since it relies on a lot of anime magic to look right. Vostok 7

It just looks so amazing in every mode I can't believe it. They hit nearly every mode so spot on in proportions its nuts. And they seem to be using a good mix of materials (Yamato-class or better, lots of ABS and POM). So I guess the real question is, hows the QC going to be? That will be make or break. If it's got perfect QC, then it definitely will be worth the ~$250 they're asking for it. I just can't get over how perfect it looks in bike mode. Finally, a modern Ride Armor toy that doesn't look like some guy riding a Mini-Bike! Finally a modern Ride Armor toy that can lean like in the artwork! MOSPEADA gods be praised! They have truly smiled upon us this day. Vostok 7

I have both the E-Wing and the TIE Defender... Got tempted to sell them when the prices reached $300+ a few years ago, but mine aren't MIB so that only makes them worth $75-$100. I guess they were pretty rare back in the day! I found them both on the shelves. Vostok 7

Probably will come out with whatever GBP set gets released, like with the 1/48s. Vostok 7

I don't know why, but I like this color a lot. Not quite Olive Drab, but close. It would HAVE to be matte though, anything else would look fruity. Vostok 7

Just got my first SV-51 today. It's the CF, of course. I like it a lot but my example is a little loose. The wings are good, but they droop down when all the missiles are attached (but not the boosters oddly enough). I'm surprised how complicated the transformation is! But it's oddly simple at the same time. How many times have you guys stabbed your selves on the head spike? I did once trying to get it out of the box and then a few times during transformation Only real issues are the tailfins, I'm highly disappointed there aren't locating pins for them in fighter mode so they can lock in place. I'm a perfectionist and I HATE it when everything doesn't line up, and they never want to seem to sit right without a lot of fiddling. The only other real issue is the left hand shoulder cover is splitting at the part where it connects to the rotation joint. I don't know why. Just sits there, not like it exploded or anything, and the joint works properly. I might have to take it apart and see what's up. All in all, I like the SV-51 a lot. The inclusion of the stand is great (they ALL should come with those stands!), and it looks so mean and evil in every mode it's great. I love the detonation cord in the canopy detail and the overhead ejection lever, looks so great. Only major features disappointment was the fact that they did so much detail on the lift fans and you can ONLY see them in Battroid. It doesn't seem like it would have been hard to make the back hatch rotate up as well as down so that it could function as the airbrake/lift fan intake. It's just disappointing Yamato didn't go that extra mile when they usually are pretty good about that. I was REALLY surprised how non-inclusive the sticker sheet is! The Anti-UN doesn't use unit numbers or anything? Come on! That's OK, I might just have to get another if they stay on sale and make a custom with good ol' Russian markings. Vostok 7

Thanks! Two issues: "Adjustable solar panels"? WTF? And the stand rod isn't removable? This just went from a "must buy" to a "must miss". Thank goodness the Galoob Action Fleet Defender was decent. Vostok 7

Back when I collected the Exo Squad destroids (because you could still find them in certain stores even up into the early 2000s), I had a custom I did mostly just putting a Defender arm onto a Tomahawk. I loved it. Of course, back then I was primarily collecting them because I was a HUGE Battletech fan Vostok 7

Indeed, unless Godzilla got a magical perfect one, most of them were a floppy mess in every mode. I love the Monster, but it sucks displaying it in any mode. Shuttle mode is OK but still the legs look like they don't belong, and every other mode is a floppy mess. Vostok 7

I've been trying to make a LEGO Avenger for many years but just haven't finished it. I'm too much of a perfectionist, so as good as that one is I still focus on all the flaws and wanted to fix them in mine. Vostok 7

Heck yeah! I love that picture in the PM book. That and the one of the micron human dating the macron Meltrandi. Vostok 7

Beautiful... Bust of about 85cm. Will expand when unwrapped... Vostok 7

Seems they have pretty good customer service though, I give them that! Here in the US, exploding original Garland shoulders were completely replaced with new fixed units with just a simple email. I expected to at least pay shipping, but no! I've heard of BGC MotoSlaves just being completely replaced, sight unseen without requiring the defective unit back, by all new ones MISB. Vostok 7

My first SV-51 is sitting at the post office. Apparently it was here this afternoon... I had a strong urge to check the PO Box but I didn't! WHY?!?!?! Vostok 7

Yep, that's the TIE Defender: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/D_Defender The most bad-arse TIE ever spawned. Definitely get some picts, I want to see how they did. The last rendition of it, which was a Galoob Action Fleet, was good but not 100% accurate (though the rest of the TIEs in the line were excellent). It keeps getting rumored that LEGO will release a TIE Defender set, but so far they haven't (7678 Droid Gunship was originally listed as being a TIE Defender by many sites). Vostok 7
