Word of Warning! Be careful when inserting weapons into the hardpoints on the wings. Stress marks show up super super super super easy on this color of plastic. I found out the hard way :0

Mandarake is not trying to make money. Can't believe I missed this O_o http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1201281.html

like... what did people expect? it's a VF-2G that's Brown.. it's a cannon fodder lol
-
so I'm seeing peeps at NY are getting their parts shipped already... I paid for mine months ago and Mine are still in payment OK status..... *grumble* considering they charge freaking 100 USD for EMS on the 6-sets you'd think they'd ship faster.... I think next time I'm going to order SAL separate packets for everything to save money and make them do more work packing everything
-
How Can you blame them? The only other config is the Micro Missile pack inner with reactions and the reactions are always outside. Besides, the two pack would force you to have have the wing out wider which might get in the way It's a compromise because no VF-1 Toy or model has had three hardpoints outside of the Hasegawas Even Yamato did it that way We'd need a proper V3 that has 3 hardpoints so we can have this in toy form (you can barely see that each missile has its own hardpoint)
-
Prolly sounds crazy but if budget permits i might get three more 171's just to have vanilla fighters with underwing stores since my battroid pack wont need the wings
-
Wow how the prices have fallen O_O TV Vf-1s Super 15000 http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1406038.html TV 1J Super 12000 http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1406037.html

If anyone wants a V2 Roy Super...... http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-597609.html It'll be like 19000 yen shipped EMS to USA based upon my last few purchases of Yammy Supers from Mandarake. Their stuff is in awesome shape usually too
-
A lot of the valks are different between the VE/VT and the VF-1D. The Wings, the nose, the canopy, chestplate, back plate, locking mechanism for the tail fins for gerwalk.... the list goes on.
-
Buuuu, the Bandai VF-25s are still pretty good models. I can't wait to get some Hasegawa's so i can pillage then for proper decals to put on my Bandais :0 Hope Hase releases some variants with Cartograph decals, love those
-
Dunno but I don't feel the need for two like I do with everything else. I might if I just had to both an ALTO yf-29 vs super vf-27 and an Armored Alto 25F with Vanilla VF-27 display.
-
Landing gear? Who uses landing gear? Strike valks in flight or bust
-
It only took like what? 15 years to top the Club-M strike? But then again, the Tanmen sculpts feel more VF-1-ey than anything Hasegawa released so I guess for many people the Club-M is still king.

At least he has kids. My fiancee cannot so I have no choice but to fill my time with cats and macross
-
Not at all. I called NY and got a paypal refund within 5 minutes.
-
Luckily I just called into NY and got a credit slip immediately. FUnnily enough their Staff is better able to handle English speakers than Japanese speakers, which is funny for a Japanese company....... welp, at least I can apply that credit towards my VF-25A orders next month
-
I think they are just finding dead stock. I grabbed that ve-1 on NY just now mwahahahahahahaha
-
CAn't wait for this to show up on shapeways
-
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?

Need advice on clear coats and Tamiya acrylics curing time
Duymon replied to GU-11's topic in The Workshop!
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
