If there were a valk one I would buy tons of those. As it stands the only way to get decent decals in 1/100 is to get them from the wave 1/100's
-
*yawn*, another Futuristic CoD. Thankfully Ghost Recon is going back to modern-day and will focus on the single player experience. Just hope Ubi doesn't screw it up horribly like they have RB6 Siege and Division
-
QC problems of any sort are non-existent on the VF-171 Exes so if you want a solid VF-171 I would grab those.

The leg problem gets worse with handling. Deploying the legs out of fighter mode puts A LOT of stress on the joint because you have to pull the legs off the super tight pegs by pretty much pulling the lower leg. There's just not enough space / leverage to pull the thighs out by only touching the thighs. Out of 12 CF's 4 have shattered legs. Those are the four you see in fighter mode in my collection pic 1 in 3 is not good odds :0

Weirldy their search is all messed up so the filter doesn't work. However, if you see "in stock" instead of "store front item" it means you can buy it instantly like any other web store.

Well Damn, PO's still up http://www.anime-export.com/product/31460

YOu could always checkout via Paypal and pay up front. however, if you go that route minus well do Anime Export, they are 400 yen cheaper per unit.

THey got two more left at other branches. Go for the Spot-sale items. They are insta-sell and guaranteed. The store-front might be sold out in the store before they fulfill your order. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1025399907&ref=list https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1037109137&ref=dos

They ship internationally and take payment via Paypal. Choose SAL shipping. I paid like 10 bucks for shipping from US for a single Armored pack. less than $45 shipped felt like a steal.

1/48 Hasegawa VF-1A/S Strike vs. Club M 1/48 Ultimate Detail VF-1 Stri
Duymon replied to Aye Aye's topic in Model kits
The Club-M is quite an investment and is also a kit over 15-16 years old. Plus, it's hella hard to find an official one (only 600 or so were ever made afaik) I have the recasts that were made by hobbyfan with PE parts and decals that were made way back in the day and it looked like such a challenging build i's been sitting in my storage for nearly 1.5 decades lol. I do, however, have the 1/48 Hase and I would argue it's even easier to build the 1/48 than the 1/72 Hase VF-1 O_o -
thanks for the comments guys Oh, FYI, if you want super parts for your RVF-171 or VF-171 Alto, they are the cheapest they've ever been, less than 35 USD before shipping. You can even just buy them for the missiles to put on your YF-30 or VF-19 https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1021564127&ref=list

Yeah... One monster won't be so huge. Some people will probably go crazy and get the full Space-War 1 compliment of monsters for their SDF-1. That's Three O_o
-
1/48 still has some color options that the 1/60's never got. Stealth 1J, Stealth Packs, Low Viz 1/2, Low viz GBP and Urban GBP.... all awesome. I remember there were many members who preferred the Stealth Fast Packs to regulars on their 1/48's One thing I also miss on the 1/60's is that little Antennae in Gerwalk and the ability to store your missiles and/or intake covers inside your Micro Missile pods
-
After getting shapeways replacements i enjoy CF 171's much more. Pretty much I took the triangles off all the gerwalk and battroid units and gave the unbroken triangles / shoulders to my fighter moded valks since they're the only ones where it really matters aesthetically. If anyone knows how bad the QC on these guys were it's probably me :0 I've seen pretty much every possible plastic piece that's not green-colored break on these bastards. I assume the contractor/factory that Bandai used for the CF's tried to cheat them by cheaping out on the same good plastics used on the Alto/Luca/Maruyama People prolly think I'm crazy for having this many CF's despite the QC issues. I just got two more like last month thanks to "Kanedas Bike" and I rehabbed them and put them in my display hehe. Honestly I don't think I'll ever do such an expensive army build again for many years.......at least until they release a non itasha grey VF-171ex or a delta Browny CF
-
Screw that. Give us a modernized conversion kit between tomahawk, defender and phalanx For nostalgias sake
-
Bro.... it's still available http://www.anime-export.com/product/31460 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-188770
-
It's not stable. The front bar is supported by tiny pegs; same as the add-on sticks for the Tamashii stage 5. I would totally use these if I love to have my valks tumble down and break into pieces
-
The limits were pretty crazy this time around. Amiami - 3 HS - unknown NY - 2 CDJ - 3 AE - 3 HLJ - 1 It was pretty easy to score hella CF VF-1a's Hell, AE has a great price and is still open for those that have the scratch to put down now http://www.anime-export.com/product/31460

Exactly why I mentioned I don't care about how bad the landing gear looks I knew Bandai and landing gear have been crappy since the dawn of time :0
-
Could care less about the landing gear. Mine will all be displayed in flight using the stand adapters and the action-base stands
-
When the Fast Packs were out on the tamashii web store in the hi-metal days they were like 15 bucks a pop and came with stickers for all of skull squadron and a generic Kite symbol. I hope if/when they release hi-metal R fastpacks on the webstore they are also that affordable edit* HOT damn anime export has like one of the best prices. Screw it picked up 2x more. don't mind paying up front
-
They authorized it. It'll pop off ur card and wont officially be charged until september. Just be sure u don't overspend in Sept so that you dont get a lil surprise when cdj claims that authorization from ur cc company
-
