Not sure. The shoulder joint isnt a spot that really has broken a lot for peeps. Plus it's doubtful a 3d printed copy could be more durable than the die-cast used. on a different note.... I wish this was an official loadout for the VF-25 :0
-
Oh God, please don't release V3. I just spent 2 fooking years of f5-slamming to get my current V2 collection. Hardpoints didn't start appearing until the VF-171 super parts, which unfortunately came AFTER the V2's and I guess Bandai was much happier just reusing their already established mold rather than doing a re-tool

Model Kits without pilots have always been a pet peeve of mine. When I was a kid I used to make some purchasing decisions based on which kits had pilots lol
-
Grats! While you're at it can you confirm the clear canopy is included or not?

I checked my CF-171 fleet after a year. Most are still intact but a select few developed cracks on their shoulder triangles. I checked a lil further and it all comes down to retarded tolerances with the black shoulder piece and the metal shoulder joint it covers. All the ones that had cracks had metal shoulder pieces that for some reason weren't 100% flush so they had a .3-.5 mm seam between the metal halves. Combine this slight gradation with the cheap, brittle plastic used on the Shoulders and over time they will crack and shatter without fail. Using some super glue and accelerator I repaired all of my triangles then had to sand and refinish them with a coat of gloss black. I then sanded down the metal shoulders a lil bit to reduce the amount of outward force they exert onto the plastic shoulders due to the shoddy joint work by the factor workers

There should be an option for "neither" because they are two different aircraft Which one is better overall? The answer is: Whichever you like more. I just hope the Macross gravy train keeps going, though I wish Bandai would stop Releasing crap for a whileso that I could afford to collect other crap
-
I don't know if the 25G will ever see a re-release. The Hikaru and Roy Analogues always get more attention while the Max / kakizaki seem more one-off's I still love the plain fighter mode. So sleek :0

If Military planes were glossy they'd shimmer in the sun and it might make them more visible in a dogfight. That's prolly why the majority of warplanes are matte colored. Considering that even the aging F-16's can pack JHMCS and AIM-9x's that literally can lock, track and hit targets nearly behind the aircraft everyone is always going to to give their fighters every possible edge, even if it's as low tech as a non-reflective paint-job.

I dunno.....Brera feels like your typical emotionless quiet badass type cliched anime chick character...with a dick bolted on. Very shallow character imho
-
They did the Itasha vf-171, bring in the itasha vf-25's and 29's
-
Yf-29 anni is still one of my favorite pieces
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Duymon replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Found these old kits in a tiny hobby shop in Gunma, Japan. Super happy Found Maruyama in Akiba Mandarake for 20000, no tax Was so tempted to buy this YF-29B in tam tam tax free but decided not to since I already had two
-
I picked up this guy from mandrake for just 20000. Pretty satisfied and think I'll only have one since most of my 171 space is dedicated to my cf-171 fleet :0
-
I saw these in Akiba. The box is Thick, like literally the same as a battroid box and fighter box stacked together
-
Yup as Jenius says after you click in the arms and make the legs straight the backpack just sits like that. To make it worse, the joint is super loose so good luck wooshing this sucker upside down around your desk lol. I just wish Toynami would have just worked something out with bandai and licensed the hi-metals to rebrand into their Robotech line much like they did with Megahouse and beagle for the Cyclones, but who knows maybe that would have been impossible ;0 on a side note...wow the price of hi-metals skyrocketed in Japan... around 9000 for the tamashii web 1A`s and around 20000 for the Roy strike. 1.5 yrs ago I bought my Roys for 10000 max and my 1A`s for 5000-6000 each. Today I`ll hit mandarake Akiba and see if they got any good deals.
-
Considering the VF-19 advanced can be picked up for 23000 yen here the VF-2SS looks really, reall bland at around the same price point, Nonetheless I put in my obligatory one PO at HLJ in order to support more Mac2. I hope it does well enough that they release the earthbound J version that looks oh so much better
-
I have no clue why this guy was a general release while isamu was mail order. Just so many of these guys shelf-warming here. Either that or the online market and the general Japanese market are totally different and these guys just move slow. I have so much macross stuff here in akiba, though to be fair a lot of it is way overpriced (like 30000 yen+ for any of the older releases) Anyways, seeing it in person in the display case in tokyo i am quite happy with the two I bought online way back, though I will not be going past my arbitrary limit of 2 for each YF-29 despite being able to pick them up dirt cheap here (146 dollars!!!)
-
It was surreal to see rods all over. Even the Isamu vf-19 can be found for retail. Just avoid Volks and their 10000 yen markup lol
-
Rig ht now I am at laox in akiba..freaking 5 of these available...so tempted but I can't carry it all home haha
-
I'm ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that Japanese customers are sweating bullets trying to decide which masterpiece to add to their collection /s vs On a side note I'm going to Japan tomorrow and I'm going to find some shitty 1/100 arii fighter mode kits so that I can poach their Decals for my bland hi-metals lol

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
Duymon replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
THis is Heresy!! -
I usually take out the lasers and put them in near boiling water. after that I take them out and place them on a flat surface and flatten them against that surface while runing cold water over them. Has never failed.

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
Duymon replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
I just want a new valk design that doesn't involve loads of back kibble in battroid mode. The 25/27/29/30's all look great until you view them from the side -
totally new figure that's game accurate. Nice touch. I'm really stoked about the two I got now :0
-
Interesting kit. It looks like whoever made it recasted a lot of parts from the 1/72 vf-25 kits as I recognize a ton of those parts...sadly. Could prolly make a much sturdier kit if you use the Vf-25 pieces. Would cut down dramatically on the small fragile parts.
