When this happened to one of my CF's I didn't bother trying to make a traditional repair. I filled the thigh with Epoxy and after it cured drilled a hole into it. Then I pinned the lower leg and glued it permanently in fighter position and left it it fighter mode The overly engineered design plus the shoddy plastic makes a lot of the CF 171's dodgy. Best of luck

When you say you need to temper the Bandai Love it's as if you feel it's your duty to quell what you may see as Bandai Fanboism. Writing statements like this, when read by some, resembles the very same fanboism that you are trying to "temper"; just from a different camp. Nobody ever said they were gonna be replacements or upgrades to the 1/60's. Nobody as far as I can tell has written anything that sh@ts on Yamacardia products. Just because a macross product doesn't meet your tastes doesn't it mean it's bad for other people to like it or, god forbid, prefer them.

I just don't see how much more perfect transformation you can get at this size unless you compromise durability. You can already transform from Fighter to battroid without swapping anything outside of the canopy / heatshield. I look at Bandai's 1/72 which has everything integrated, then I look at the 1/100 which is smaller and goes for simplicity, and I gotta say the Hi-Metal wins hands down. Are they going to surpass Yammies? Hell no. But they'll make great toys with play with and display on your desk at work or something
-
Are you thinking of the right 1/100 Bandai Valks? Outside of the Canopy / heatshield swap and having to attach the gun-handle the Hi-metal VF-1's are perfect transformation.

I guess peeps don't like the YF-29B enough lol considering you'd pay 19440 in a brick and mortar store in Japan 19.8 didn't seem bad, plus the exchange rate is so good for us Americans at least :0

The fact that CDJ is still up.. after all this time ... is a miracle. 900 yen is 7.5 USD. So CDJ is 7.5 USD more expensive than HLJ but nobody bites lol
-
CDJ price and HLJ price were pretty close. Within 900 Yen. Got one from each. Could care less bout NY atm as I have a policy of only 2 of each 29 :0

HLJ IS UP OMG http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN960617/Act

Sweet that's one less competitor on Monday
-
There's always budget for Macross >
-

-
I guess I'll find out. Mhwaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha*thank god for huge tax refund*hahahahahahahaa
-
I think those notches are just uncovered screw holes
-
I dun care if it's not anime accurate I'd rather have the top graphic on the VF-171 When I get three of these I plan on removing the graphic on all three and having CF 171 exes.

1/32 F-14 Tomcat magazine subscription to build model?
Duymon replied to kyekye's topic in Model kits
It's actually cheaper to buy a 1/32 Tomcat and commission somebody to make it for you with a lot of bells and whistles...sans the electronics -
Luckily the Yen is much cheaper than when I started collecting frontier in 2012.... it was 76 Yen... now it's like 115-116. That means that prices are like 30% cheaper.
-
Wow....that's nearly 100 bucks more than my VF-19 shipped by EMS O_o
-
My GF just walked into a local toy store in Gunma and pre-ordered me a VF-19 without hassle. Hopefully it pulls through ON a side note, that store she went to said she got one of the two that store was alotted. Jesus freaking christ brick and mortar stores only getting single digits of this sucker is ridiculouso :0
-
Save the Valk, take him to a strip club or something. There's nothing T&A cannot solve imho
-
I think these will be a lot easier to come-by than the chogokins.......the VF hi-metal 1S and 1J were comically easy to get at retail even years after release :0
-
Dude if you're moving to Japan you can just walk into a brick and mortar and pre-order without the fear of instant cart-jacking. only issue is PO's start at 1600 and work might not get out until later heh heh
-
Wow... it went from like 176 USD to 217-ish at NY. That's like a 40 dollar jump O_o I think I'm happy with just 1 this time around unless I can get one near retail in May from HLJ / etc.
-
OMG NY went fast. Got 1. sleep. Sleep is good
-
60 minutes to go woo hoo
-
I have Monday and Tuesday Off...... guess what I'm doing at freaking 0200 EST on Tuesday
