I'd buy one... hope they'd put the head in the right spot this time (that's right folks, I refuse to let it go).

You can attach the Ghost to the original VF-0A toy or any other VF-0 1/60 Yamato. I don't know of anyone selling replacement parts and I don't think Yamato is currently manufacturing them so you're probably out of luck at the moment.

Tell Yamato to sponsor a Macross the First anime... then sell us the toys

Hey guys, things aren't looking so hot for my attending or having a room to use. My company is looking at a debt offering and spinning an IPO for a brand new entity at the same time working through our annual audit. This makes for lots of long nights and weekends worked for me (I'm at the office now about to hit my 70th hour worked this week with no end in sight). EDIT - if anyone is going to the SF Chronicle wine tasting at Fort Mason in mid-February I will be there.

That is a borderline NSFW link.

I really love the Hi-Metal toys. I wish Bandai had looked at the Toynami model and came up with a hybrid way of selling them. They could charge 5500Y per individual hero mech OR you could buy that same hero mech with 2 lesser valks for like 11000. So, for example, you could buy Hikaru's VF-1J for 5500 or you could get Hikaru 1J, Max TV 1A, and Hayao TV 1A for 11000. The three packs should have been all included in one box so retailers wouldn't get stuck with a bunch of Hayaos they couldn't sell (OR you could make the three packs Tamashii exclusives). The next toy could have been Hikaru's VF-1S or a three pack with Hik's 1S, Max's 1A, and Hayao's 1A. Then you do Roy's 1S with Hikaru's 1A and Max's 1S. To round it all out you have Max's 1J or Max's 1J with Miria's 1J and a cannon fodder 1A. Any left over valks like the Angelbird you can make into event exclusives. Booyiggity. That would have been a more affordable and fun line I would have collected more of.

I am in the middle of a very high stress environment right now and I sneak onto MW for quick breaks and I gotta say... that was hilarious. I don't know if we want to delve any further into this.
-
Ha, seriously, if anybody wants to start giving me free stuff I'll accept it! Honestly though, I think that might be part of why my SDf-1 review wasn't quite as "OMG I'm touching an SDF-1 toy!" as other peoples... 'cause I also had the burn on my credit card to weigh it against. it might be tricky to keep that same outlook if I wasn't spending my scratch on these toys... it's a challenge I would love to have to take on

If you buy any recent releases you should be fine. They're very rugged toys provided you don't get an earlier version with shoulder problems. I think I originally scored the V2 like a 9 on durability before we realized the breaks waiting to happen. Now that those breaks are allegedly fixed I'd give the V2 a very high score again.
-
As always I'm late to the party with my review... but you should go scope it out just the same: I have a 1900x1200 monitor now so the pics in this review and future reviews are going to be a bit larger. - EDIT - leave me some comments on anymoon.com if you feel I botched up the review, missed something, or am otherwise very right or wrong. The more opinions on the post the better as they only make the site more helpful.

Yes, but will it be straight? Also, it will be roughly $150 more expensive (guessing) than the Bandai so that might be something to consider.

Hey guys, someone PM'ed a while back about the Zentraedi uniform. I have some work I need to complete this week and then I'll try to work out a sell with that person. If that falls through it will be listed in a sale thread. Thanks -
-
I'm thinking SDF-1 this week then I'm not sure which post for next week... updated Hi-Metal review to include Roy's may be probable as it'd be an easier post and I'm working on a few harder ones right now that may take more than a week to put together.
-
It's being discussed as a visitor message board in the 1/60 VF-19K thread... just random suggestions by vistors, not planned items or anything that fun.
-
Hmm... this toy is cool, no doubt, but toy of the year? Hmmm... I think I'll do a post on anymoon.com for this soon.

Interesting. I've been running it as an overclocked (slightly) 6970 and so far no problems. If it has issues I'll be sure to report them. -
Best of the year? The first month isn't even over.
-
I'm bummed, I've been spending so much time with my new SDF-1 I haven't even had a chance to open my HiMetal VF-1S. I'm really looking forward to it.
-
C'mon, they won't make a battlepod but they'd consider making a space cucumber? Not bloody likely (unless it's another model).

generally you'd be much better off contacting a vendor. If you got through to Yamato it'd probably be some girl at a front desk who would have no idea how to get you in touch with the proper person (if Yamato is anything like most manufacturing companies).
-
If anyone hasn't seen it, I did update my VF-27 post on anymoon.com some time ago with pics and info on the Greenie -
-
Grace ftw. I try to keep only one (or two if it's iconic enough) of each toy so I kept my greenie and sold my Brera VF-27.

Don't forget to upgrade it to a 6970! I've been running mine as a 6970 for a little while now, absolutely no problems.
