Dark Skull

Yup. Preordered. I was never really satisfied with the Bandai model. If the quality on this thing is good, I will be one very happy camper!

Along with Macross stuff, I also collect these:

Thanks And it depends on what you mean by "expensive" LOL Either way, to me it was worth every penny. Couple that with the fact that it came packed so well....yeah

Finally got this guy in:

Thanks for the kind words everyone LOL if there's going to be any sales, it might be the extra woodland camo armor and the extra urban camo armor sets that I apparently bought two of for whatever reason that I cannot remember/figure out.

It's supposed to be a dark blue, but the flash on my cell phone made it look black. To the right of that pic: And to the left: I have the armor for the VF-1J, and the two low viz armor. But for the sake of space, I kept them in the box. And just as I checked, I have 2 each of the low viz (camo and urban). Not sure why I have 2 of each. I don't need 2.

What? That wasn't common knowledge?

Got the VF-1S low viz in today Also got the shapeways parts to fix the VF-1D Pardon the crappy cell phone pic. Now, I'm just waiting for the VF-1J Mass production BTW, anyone know a good paint color match for the VF-1D? I kind of want to paint those replacement hinges.

Yeah, I was surprised at the condition. I should probably start taking pictures once I get it, and the VF-1A Cavaliers in. I should be getting a VF-1J Mass production mailed to me soon as well, and that should complete my VF-1 collection (hopefully).

Thanks! I found two vids that helped explain "how to" do it properly I'm going to try it later today.

@ Falcon18 - Ah ok, gotcha. Thanks @Fighting 103. I found it on AE and went and scrounged up some extra cash and bought it. I hope the tint isn't cracking on it when I get it. At the very least, I now know what to do about it BTW, I think I'm searching under the wrong terms, but is there a video on how to properly transform these nice 1/60 valks? I mean, it's kinda like the 1/48s, and those I have no problems with. However, when it comes to tabbing the legs into the nose....I can't seem to get it in right and I don't want to break it. Sorry for the n00b question, but I'm new to the 1/60s and I can't read the Japanese instructions

AE? I'm assuming anime export? I'm posting from my phone at work right now. Got a link?

Oh cool. I'm assuming the VF-1S low viz has the rainbow tinted canopy? I think aside from the vf-1j mass production, that'd be the next one I'd hunt down. Nice! I need to find one lol

Oh no, I have a Cavalier on the way. It's making it's way across the Pacific as we speak And that one is a link to a VF-X that I purchased recently as well. In the middle of trying to get a 1/60 VF-1J Mass production....and man those things are so hard to find lol. I hate having to have gotten back to collecting Macross stuff so late.

Thanks to this thread, when I get the VF-1A Cavalier in, I'll be looking for the rainbow tint and remove it if necessary. Thanks for the tip everyone! I should probably contribute some pics soon of my collection that I had to rebuild. But I don't know how everyone feels about crappy cell phone pics.
