The backpack hinge bothers me quite a bit. Also, maybe I'm anal, but I really liked how the 1/48 had one of the Fast Pack holes on the leg close itself when not in use. It makes the fighter mode look better when there's no gaping hole there like on the old 1/60's But other than that, looks great.

It looks like i'm paying about 110 dollars shipped from BBTS, but I'll find out the real number later on. It'll be about 5.50 per valk which is much better than the 8 dollars + shipping that others charge on evilbay

I've got 2 boxes of them on order so if I don't get a rare I'll prolly flip

Hmmm... just looking at the series 2 page it looks like the Minmei guard is no longer a 1J, its a 1S

Let's just hope we can get a full set with just one box

Scale modeling in general is a dying hobby in the US since kids would rather play games than spend their time actually making something. Guess people will now be hoarding putty or importing it from HK retailers now

Big F, even if you could do that It prolly wouldn't not have the strength of the original to handle being in Battroid all the time with GBP on. What I would do is take a zombie valk made from all the leftover mismatched parts from customizing and hide it under the GBP The GBP valk in my collection was bought used. I took the perfect canopy out and used it to replace a scratched canopy on another 1/48 Then I scavenged the pilot, the hands, the intake covers and the landing gear to replace broken or scratched parts on my other Valks

An Toy that: - Isn't 200 dollars - has low QC problems - is NOT a vf-1 - Is not packed in a box big enough to fit five planes. /runs away

I'd fly a VF-1, but one from the Macross Ps2 Game. That way I can have hundreds of missiles and a life bar instead of dying in one shot

Very sad that this could happen to a normally good brand like Aoshima. I still feel that Toynami royally screwed Aoshima since there's really no way I'd imagine Aoshima to be this negligent considering their past die-cast products

Dollar = sucks I'm happy I made myself poor and got all the 1/48's I wanted..well..cept for two valks to make a Max 1S >_<

CM's had better make that reactive armor a dark Olive Green like it is in the movie....

AC6 is only easier because they added the "I WIN" button with the insane ally stuff Like half the time when I was sick of the mission I just said "ah fuggit" and just held down on the d-pad and waited for the "mission accomplished" text to show up

To be honest I didn't notice the hanging shoulders in fighter mode because all of my VF's have fastpacks on. Now that I've noticed it...well..er.. damn it all

Wow those wave units look nice. A very nice looking Helldiver has space in my collection for sure, though I don't know if it's worth 5 revoltech helldivers har har

Er, Talisman has no wife har har. Melissa's husband was KIA

Shamrock isn't the unluckiest wingman in AC... in AC zero your wingbuddy (the one after pixie) just gets blown up, period

After having finally held a CM's patlabor unit in my hands at my local shop I decided to pass on these suckers. True, they have a lot of heft and the quality is pretty good, but I just couldn't see them totally replacing my MG's on display (Not to mention they cost 3-4 times as much as an MG). There's just something about the CM's that makes them seem clunky and less cool than the MG Ingrams that came out. Plus all the screw holes But, Kudos to CM for making other units than the Ingram and griffon. Back when the MG line finished about 5 years ago I was still dying for a peacemaker, a helldiver and a helluva lot more. (I DO luckily have a 1/35 helldiver, though it's a knock-off fixed pose vinyl that I haven't built yet *cry*)

both walmarts where I live have a lot of basic stuff like testors enamels and the lil testors hobby kits. You can get just about all you need cept for the putty and clippers. Brush painting a 1/72 valk though? OMG that's going to look...er...uh... interesting har har.

When my wife brought over 3 1/48 vf's from Japan she could pack 3 of them into one box, complete with bubble wrap. I was impressed

Now I won't feel so bad about buying a max 1a and a roy/hik 1s and making myself a Max 1s

To me, the commander armor looks like a huge hunk of wtf with a lil valkyrie attached to it rather than Valkyrie with additional ordinance tacked on like regular fast packs. I dunno but I think Kawamori wanted to go all silpheed or something on that particular design to make it look badass. Since Missiles seems to mean diddly with these aliens you'd assume they just tack on a large caliber cannon or something onto to VF's so that they can actually do damage in the future Then I bet they're going to go all gundam seed and have the BFG swing out from behind the VF so that he can do a badass pose before he fires

I'm just looking foward to a less-guily throw-away valk to play with

I don't want to be a hater, but the legs of the legioss when hooked into the tread... wtf that looks like...crap

Quick question... are the first gen revoltech ingrams different than the new movie version ingrams save the different paint job and accessories? I noticed the ad for the new Ingrams have the revoltech shoulder joints installed. Is this not a feature on the first-gen ingrams? Reason I'm asking is because I recently got a Type 0 and it's just a PVC swivel joint for the shoulders.
