If anyone still needs a Vf-27, THey are available for 21350 yen (only 1350 markup) at Plamoya (255 shipped via ems to USA) http://plamoya.com/en/dx-chogokin-macross-frontier-vf27-lucifer-super-parts-set-p-81173.html?cPath=25

Not a bad deal for a loose valk with FP imho. Though it is missing a leg wing It'd be a great valk to scavenge for parts while you use the FP on something else. http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b148514404

Hmm, was about to jump on this but somebody grabbed it. Looks like a 1st V2 release VE-1 for 20,000, but used (though 99% of the used stuff I've bought from Mandarake was still MIB) http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1035457.html Would that have been a good deal?

Rubbing alcohol eats future like no tomorrow in my experience. Future is just am acryl clear coqt so treat it like all other acryls when it comes to which chemical compounds to use

It's included and it's great.

We're all happy with the box and leaving the super scratch-prone sucker (judging by all the plastic wrap on it) in the box cuz the box looks better

Weirdly, I paid for SAL shipping but NY gave me EMS anyways The 30th anni valk has so mach plastic wrap on it to prevent scratching I'm afraid to take it off and display it However, beautiful box

I'd have to go home to take more pics :0 will do that in the morning if nobody else has yet heh heh

I Disagree. the Super parts are Awesome on the 29's. I have no issues with them on my 2 altos and 2 30's. At first I hated the look of the 29 and the packs, but after playing macross 30 for a while the design just grew on me. WIll need to order supers for each of my Isamu's :0

Wow, the FIrst Yamato valk that will need Micro-sol to look complete.

Fun with Stands

Playmoya has the rvfsfor like 136 usd fyi

Looks like an online exclusive at the premium Bandai Hobby online shop. And there's a milia next to it. Kill those 1/72 kits with fire!

Please no more VF-1's...... There's already HI metals, 1/48's and V2's in my display cases..... YF-30, YF-25 would be preferable.

Considering alto was re-issued we can only expect an Ozzi reissue. How they intend to handle the super and armor parts will be a different story.

Thanks! your 1J was my inspiration for this one Here's the battroid shot. The lasers are still only primered so I'll need to put some gunmetal on those later. Also need to install his shoulder "lamps" .Then I need to dirty this sucker up before I put the flat coat on

A while back I got this junker from YHJ for less than 90 bucks It came with no gun, pilot or accessories, just as is. It finally came in and I proceeded to make repairs to it. I always wanted an Armored Battroid Ozzie so I glued the wings in 'up' position, then I pinned the joint with a paperclip to creat sort of a shelf that fit under the wing. After that I just glued the wing on, added some epoxy, and then put a little kotobukiya detail panel above it to conceal most of the repair :0 Now I have a permanent Battroid Armored Ozzie along with my super and armored fighter ( )

Update on my Yammy VF-1 Kit. THe decals on this thing are great despite their thickness. A little micro sol is needed for sure. Just need to do the no-step decals, add some weathering and then a flat coat on top :0 I was so impressed with this kit that I procured 2 more 1A's from BBTS for future use.

Nice!!!

Really? Do you have any links?

After being inspired seeing This Thread , I started working on my Yammy VF-1 Kit Here's my progress after a few days

It's ridiculous how crazy the after-market has become for the 25F and S armor / super parts. I ended up securing a 2nd armor ozzy armored parts for 178 shipped :*(

Still available at PLaymoya for 250 shipped via EMS which doesn't seem that bad to me http://plamoya.com/en/dx-chogokin-macross-frontier-vf27-lucifer-super-parts-set-p-81173.html?cPath=25

Not a bad deal for the full skull squadron, plus their all new. One is even a super plus a stand on top. Just hope whoever got it has spare shoulders for those two rainbow canopy valks The high bidder's feedback indicates it was prolly a proxy buy so I bet the person ends up paying 450 shipped , which is still good for 4 valks, 1 with fastpack, and an extra stand http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g123372134

The 25S is very stable provided you use the supplied connector which actually pegs into the stand-friendly crotch piece. Mine hasn't toppled in a year Of course, things could be different if you have kids or are prone to bump your display shelf. On a side node, I WISH the alto parts had come with an extra sniper rifle
