THe 1/250 valks are going to be wayy too big for the quarter. Also, I don't think there will be a renewal of the quarter. It was not popular and has been sitting on shelves for what? 4 years now? For a Bandai Chogokin that's an eternity

NY sources these things from other stores most the time. The worker just forgot to take the tag off lol.

Kurisama's Varja Control missiles came in from Shapeways. Fit was almost perfect, just removed the little round pegs in the middle since bandai's hardpoints don't need them and they were slightly too wide in diameter. Now that I know shapeways is so nice I'm going to buy some underwing 1/60 hps and some high manuever missiles. Just wish Kurisama would also make the other Mac F missiles with yammy HPs so that I could start arming my VF-25's

Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann
Duymon replied to Vi-RS's topic in Model kits
a lot of things don't look right on that print out. The backpack looks way too far back. The nose looks funny and the proportions in fighter mode feel... off. I dunno. Maybe we'll see something different in the test shot. -
I think I'm gonna have to polish off those no steps on the wing undersides.

Saw a YF-19 from a private collector on Amazon for 205.99 shipped. Took one look at the pics he sent me and snapped it up instantly Never thought my 1/60 YF-21 would have its archrival in the display case

Easiest way to make the head movable is to just pin it with a pin-vise and paperclip. The paperclip will give it enough stability to stay on so you can turn it
-
They haven't changed at all. The supers are an absolute mess. The regulars take a little TLC to get them to not have such huge gaps in fighter. However, the tornado and Armored releases are top-notch complete with locking mechanisms for a tight fighter mode. Still, if you can get the bare valks for cheap I'd say get them. Even without painting and a little panel-lining they can go a long way.

This is weird, but after looking at all three of my 171 EXes I noticed something. THe plastic on the shoulders, the head and the nose is a slightly different white than the off-white used on the wings, backpanel, etc. THis is driving me nuts, I can't unsee it now

CF VF-25A's are Brown

How many Japanese toys are manufactured today in Japan? very little if any. It's all manufactured in China now so the perception that Japan-bound toys are better is out of date. I mean, If Japan-bound toys supposedly had better QC how could Aoshima let the Legioss remakes turn out oh so badly O_O
-
All these numbers don't seem to be that much imho. Back in 1999-2001-ish we wouldn't flinch when MIB 1/55's would go for 1000-1500 USD easy Yamato made Macross collecting waaaay cheaper. God... I feel old now.. I still remember when Macross world had a chatroom :0

Oh God. Not more miniatures, my closet is full of unpainted miniatures O_o

HOLY CRAP. I have two of then and I've never seen this white skull on White (maybe that's a testament to bandai's fail) Where is this white skull? (I'm at work I can't check them right now lol)
-
Just curious where did this happen?
-
The VF-22's and 1/48's don't get enough love these days
-
If they release a CF VF-25 my bank account is over I have a soft spot for CF valks >_< In the meantime having fun with my custom 25F Just have to source another pair of alto armor parts now for the altos I reserved from Otacute and NY
-
That first image is not a YF-30, that's a fictional plane from Ace-combat. Think it's the CFA-44 Nosferatu
-
That screeny i took is from ep 14, when the vf-171's unload on the capships. Upon further inspection, the reaction missiles are as long as their shins , which is already larger than the sms reaction missiles from the armored 25 sets. It is hard, however, to tell the girth from the limited screen time
-
Machida is Angry and wishes to punch Bandai for oversized reaction weapons and wrongly-colored armored parts
-
Who knows. Maybe the reaction missiles carried by the 171's were bigger. Maybe SMS uses a smaller version of the missile *EDIT* SCratch that, just looked online and those reactions warheads are def too big O_o
-
Armored parts haven't really jumped that much in price since the ALTO announcement. Usually you were looking at around 150-160 shipped. Now they're around 170-180 shipped. Picked up my 2nd alto armored set since I customized the 1st one :0 While I won't say never, I have yet to see any Tamashii web-exclusives be re-issued. They didn't do it for the Alto YF-29, doubt they will for the armored parts. Other non-macrossTamashii web-exclusives are rarely re-issued, if ever.

The hardpoint wings actually fit super well and are really tight. No way those MDEs would bend the wings unless they're made of pure lead or something.
