Wild! Thank you so much for the pictures!!!

Okay @nightmareB4macross, you were right... it's really cooking in here! The mythical Joons 1A! Just incredible. Since we're on the topic of Joons, just last week I found that the "1996, Patriot" colored Joons leg fin had either blue paint, or left blank. I had my original from the late 90s that I converted to a 1S, with Jetfire arms and legs, repainted most of the valkyrie to a Max blue. Fast forward to a month ago... worked on reverting that same Joons back to its original colors and parts, minus the 1J head... which had been traded away over 2 decades ago. Here's the back of the leg fin from my originally purchased one late 90s. Blue paint. Here's one from a listing online. Blank. Here's a friend's one from Wisconsin. Blank. Here's a friend's one from Northern California. Blue paint. Seems like the ones with the blue paint on the back of the fin also have the top quarter of the outer leg painted blue originally, then painted over completely with red paint. I finally completed the "restoration" of the "converted to Max 1S Joons that I had... he still has a 1S head, inspired by Alex's earlier pictures from this thread. Hmmmm, I also found this listing on the web... it was sold in 2017? Claimed it was not tampered with... could this have been an end of the run, just get rid of left over stock version?

Robert's pic?? lol

This Fire Valkyrie is crazy lololol

oops, looks like the last few links aren't working?

hmmm, I remember those black stickers from the first Strike I purchased early 2000s. I pulled out the 3 I have now, took some pics. Strike 1 Strike 2 Strike 3 (slight over spray chest)

Thank you Shawn... my request is fulfilled!

Not 1 regret. Love this guy.

wow! I love it! Lots of awesome customs here!

wow, awesome work guys! wondering if anyone is up for also printing the 1/55 1J and 1A heads as well....

I love my 1/48s! ... and whatever that last one is

got mine this morning, i've waited so long for this toy! the price killed me but its all good, got my 90s nostalgia back!

i really don't see an issue with the "tabs".... it is a toy first and foremost?

ahhh... the VF-2SS. I've waited so long for this to be released, i shall come out of valkyrie retirement for this piece. I have no complaints whatsoever on the design, price, articulation, etc etc... I have fond memories from when i was younger, watching Macross II and day dreaming of a transformable toy. Just the fact that it's here fills my heart with joy lol!

i love the 1/55 scale valks! ever since i was in kindergarden, i remember this boy brought his jetfire to school and i instantly fell in love with it. it was heavy and the whhels kept hurting my fingers when i released them the degree of difficulty to transform it to a robot was pretty significant, especially for a 4-5 year old, and with all the armor lol. my favorite is the 1/55 strike valkyrie. i have 3

just got through reading the 11 pages! i'm glad to see that old project up and running again, to the finish! im pretty old school with all this macross/ mospeada stuff, so i'd rather have a 1/35 Tled. the beast project is probably the nicest mospeada item to ever live, but an old 1/35 legioss can transform thru all 3 modes lmk if u ever proceed with this project Nightmare.

wow. just got done reading 11 pages, its been a while. i remember back when i was in college and there were like 200 members on the old MW forums. this project was on the front page and i was drooling. so happy to see it moving forward, just yesterday i was wondering what had become of jm and this crazy massive scratch build model. popped in Mospeada once again on the dvd player and now it looks like i'm gonna be hitting up the forums once again! great job captain america!

it's been years since i've logged on to MW. i am currently watching Mospeada all over again on dvd, and it has sparked the bug in me once again. so whatever happened to this project? i'm currently on the hunt for a 1/35 legioss, and was pondering the idea of a partner scaled Tled. googled the idea, lo and behold, here i am. fill me in?

back when i was a kid and watched robotech.. i loved the alphas to death. since there was no way my step mom would buy me any toys, i had to make my own little alpha out of paper. i was in the second grade... making lil transformers and robotech mecha out of paper that transformed. i can't believe i had to make my own toys!

i love all three to death... but if i had to choose one and scene, definately Roy in the beginning... where he's leading the army of valks in the first space confrontation with the zentradi. second is Hikaru at the end where he does his solo job into the heart of the mother ship and blows baldy to smitherines. last but definately not least... Max and his dog fight with Millia!

add me to the list of VF-2SS fans. i absolutely love this valk! proud owner of 2 variable VF-2SS model kits as well.

a 1/48 1A max? where? *looks around wildly* i wants!

damn, that valk looked like it just came out of the "fast and furious" tuning garage. blet.

holy cow, 10 fastpacks?? what are u planning to do?

put me down for one.
