oh, the yf-29 I missed the stupid CF preorder at NY because I was on the train going to work lol
-
Screw it. I just picked up the 260 one at NY threw in an alto 171 while I was at it
-
on the plus side I got my vf-171
-
already gone at amiami
-
My gf found this for 15000 Yen in a small toy shop in Gunma. Just arrived today in NYC I think she's a keeper
-
I'm on night shift tonight and Have the page on refresh every minute on my laptop
-
I wish the Japanese govts plans for the yen to be cheaper work so that we don't have to pay so much for these valks, plus it'll boost the Japanese economy which means more valks

Question about Bandai 1/72 Macross Frontier kits
Duymon replied to Cameron1138's topic in Model kits
Do you hate yourself? Do you love being a masochist with decals? Then make sure to pick up the limited clear VF-25F and just try to build it. The Valk is freaking clear, meaning the good ole primer + color + clearcoat ain't happening. It's just... clear coat. Good luck getting a clear coat sticking to the freaking Clear smooth clear plastic. After a nice rinse in the sink even the tried and true future beaded and rolled off like nothing. The regular decals have no problem with adhesion to the pvc parts, but the metal decals? OMFG... it's like I hate myself and I don't even know why. Anywho, the holiday week was so easy-going that I built this. (no network outages = sit back and good off). Unfortunately, by building this kit I think I got more stressed out than I do just working.

Made a universal Armored pack for my renewals that can be used on a 25G or whatever 25 comes out in the future (except the RVF). Kinda like the non-canon gull-gray and will most likely be turning a spare 25G into a grey 25G like I had in my Triangle Frontier PSP game I also polished off the SMS 007 off the bottom of the side packs
-
Yamato should grab the M3 license. VF-9 Cutlas VF-14 VF-3000 VF-5000B Variable Glaug. How many of those valks have been made yet? Yeah, that's what I thought.
-
Now that I think of it.... Bandai already has the molds to make two of those character valks... the all black YF-29 would be quite sexy. Even better would be a new pieces to make the yf-29 prophecy, though I'd hope they'd make the proper long cockpit like on the model instead of just half-assing it with the second seat like on the other yf-25's O_o
-
If the RVF isn't popular that's great, because it's my fav and I want multiples to customize :0 Grey RVF with yellow nose ftw. Also, the 25G seems to be very easy to procure, even now. It's been out like 3 months and still going for around 200-ish, even on NY.
-
It's true Yammie is great at valk making but I don't see how they could further improve on the VF-25 Renewals outside of some joint tightening. I would go as far as saying Bandai did a pretty good job on the Renewals, just glad I never put cash down for the v1's O_O

Question about Bandai 1/72 Macross Frontier kits
Duymon replied to Cameron1138's topic in Model kits
Yeah... the decals are a pain to work with, especially the SMS markings on darker units like the 25-G. I had to paint a white background for those to look somewhat decent . However, I gotta say that the 1/72 are still very nice and one of the only ways to get a really nice looking skull-squadron without breaking the bank. Despite Hasegawa making Frontier kits as well, I really like my transforming kits :0 -
This certainly looks nice. The transformation has the arms on the sides, and in gerwalk those shoulders attach to the canards in front it looks like. What's really cool though is the hip rotation that's built into the gerwalk mode. Bandai better ratchet joint that O_o Now the biggest thing I got from this was, when he was talking about the big bar... at 2:14 Kawamori-san states: これはコンテーナとして、自由に交換出来る "As this is a container, it can be exchanged freely" So it can be exchanged for different bars depending on the mission. The default is that missile one, but apparently there is a Beam-module as well that goes length-ways. That would prolly be really easy to fire in Fighter mode even when stowed I'd prolly take that Beam Module any day over the missile one O_O
-
Gonna buy 3 of these O_O

Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann
Duymon replied to Vi-RS's topic in Model kits
The more I look at this the more I don't really care. I built tons of Hases and for my Toy I have 3 1/48's I customized. I wish they'd approached the 1/48 VF-25 like they originally had. That is something that wouuld sell like hotcakes. I'd buy 10 of them myself... -
The worst part is you know you'll want three of them, especially after re-watching the 3 VF-171's kick ass in episode 14
-
This is the one VF that I would buy multiples of. The RVF is my favorite of them all.
-
So.... I bought my gf a microsoft surface and that covered her bday and xmas presents, allowing me to use december bonus for myself > In the last two weeks I ended up buying.... 2 VF-25Gs (one to customize) Renewal VF-25S with Armored Renewal VF-25F And I'm working on scoring some Renewal 25F armored packs. THen My bonus check will be 2/3 gone and the rest will got the bank
-
Back in Stock at Nippon-ya san. about $226 shipped. Considering retail is 14,000 yen, or $166, $40 markup seems very tame compared to all your other options. I just picked up an extra and will be turning one into a custom since I love the 25G head so much.
-
Yeah, decent quality fan-dub but it totally doesn't fit Macross. WTF is up with Roy? I didn't know he was some burly trucker... The 80's international Dub is so bad, it's good. I still prefer it over even the original Japanese, even after having studied and becoming fluent in Japanese. Roy's voice actor is genius and totally pulls off a convincing Roy, and no I'm not joking lol Seriously, how can you top "Just watch jet jockey in Action!" or "deploy and Form the suit!" Who remembers trying to pause to get that one frame of Hikaru's VF-1s right when he blasts Boldoza in the "Clash of the Bionoids" cut?

Built this on a slow day at work (network engineer, and holiday season is suuuper slow so we got time on shift )
