    Hehehe tell me about it, it took me almost half an hour of slowly moving the wing slowly until it fits before that either the booster won't lock or thrown across the room. Keep trying to move the angle of the wing, I'm pretty sure you'll figure it out like I did.

    Hm "Yamota", I suddenly picture a world of macross toys filled with bootleged toys made by "yamota" and cost one-third to one-fourth of arcadia or even bandai offerings. But I'm not so sure if it's a world I wanted, though. (Though this is an unlikely scenario, I've seen bootlegged bandai kits that is at least on par with the bandai ones, so who knows what the future holds for macross collecting)

    I had an extra cf MIB that looked just fine, then guess what? The moment I tried to transform it, it literally crumbled in my hands.So you can't be too sure about the CF.To buy it means accepting the fact that it will self-destruct or be prepared to buy replacement parts on shapeways (you should vector the price in buying the unit, to see if the discount offset the price of replacement parts)

    I'm pretty sure this has been covered in this thread before, try to look at previous posts.But in essence attaching the booster is about aligning the wing and the fuselage. That's why I did, once I discover the right angle, I have no problem attaching the booster. Hope that helps.

    Shared guilt then, most my collection comprises of vf-1 and vf-25.

    Couldn't agree more with you, the small mud deflector in the front landing gear reflects its lineage to contemporary russian design, not to mention the boosters that strongly resemble older generation russian anti-ship missiles. My only gripe is probably the small wing area, but then again since it was design to be folded and launched from a submarine it makes sense a a space saving feature. Nonetheles the sv-51 is indeed sexy.

    Well even though its in used condition, I think the price for vf-171ex maruyama custom is not bad. http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=l319591643
  8. valkryenov
    I think the vf-27 is sleeker but sv-51 definately cooler. I like how it reflects its origin from russian design like the su-27, and the telescoping head is a great tactical tool for recon behind cover.

    Hey thanks for bringing these up, you've save me some time. Now I'm going to go back fixing my v2 vf-1a hikaru with super parts

    Here's an idea to make the toys more affordable: have a simpler toy that is not so detailed. In addition, sell upgrade kits to add on or swap in the detailed parts. That may be one the solution for arcadia. I wonder if they would be able to sell the yf-19 cheaper if they had sold they super parts and all those extra missiles separately like bandai's usual practice. I believe that the lower price and the apparent dislike of some fans toward the (non-canon) missiles would have helped the sales. But then again with such a horrendous production failures, finding access to a better manufacturing company should be a high priority. Personally I hope that Arcadia stays in bussiness as a competition to bandai, because any competition no matter how small will be better that none. Take for example what sentinel did to the super robot line against bandai's well established SOC line. When another company create a different rendition of a model with similar or even superior quality, surely it would whip the competition into action through better quality products or lower prices. Either way, we as buyer will reap the benefit.

    Would somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I distinctly remember reading somewhere in mwf that big west supposively approved license not only by series but also by scale, that is the reason why bandai was able to produce the early hi-metal vf-1 whilst yamato was producing the 1/60 scale toys. Therefore it is safe to assume that having hasegawa in the 1/72 scale license for 0D and 0C won't really affect arcadia 1/60 macross zero toys license (including 0D and 0C)

    Ooo pleaaaase don't give them any more encouragement to make ver 3, but then again if messiah is the nuns cf vf in delta bandai would instantly jump on the cash cow and then I'll have to undergo the grueling pre orders again. Not really a bright future for me.
  13. valkryenov
    I'll have to go with this guy, afterall he's a proven bad ass. Who else is a crack pilot in a, war, single handedly penetrated earth defenses, and joined a pmc company after his military tour. Isamu Alfa Dyson.
  14. valkryenov
    Well I agree that the 29 is a better all round performer (good looking to) but the cost and complexity added with ozma' statement in the series that implies the lack of training (hence skills) of nuns pilot will make it prohibitive as a CF. I think vf-25 will be in widespread in widespread nuns fleet use (imagine messiah in nightmare blue) with 29 as spec force fighter like the hamaval.
  15. valkryenov
    after what wmkjr did with the VF-0D and VF-0A in the 0A/0S thread...my bet would be on the VF-0B/C!!!although i wont bet big I second that, creating a VF-0B would probably entail grafting the 0d fuselage with 0a/s wings, stabilizer etc and re-coloring so it'a no brainer for arcadia. But then again they might just abandon the franchise and stick to their figure making with their current situation.
  16. valkryenov
    Great shot Saburo I just love the Antares squadron boss with his henchman or woman.
  17. valkryenov
    I agree with you, I think it's only a matter of time before arcadia's license for the 1/60 macross toys will expire, when that comes will they be able to pay the license fee or will bandai will step up their game and outbid arcadia. But if somehow arcadia managed to extend the license, I'm sure that bandai milk try to milk delta dry and probably try a few loopholes by including other period's valk in the new series just like they did with vf-19 advance

    Where is a vf-25G renewal re-issue when you need one

  19. valkryenov
    Thanks for the heads up chaotic yeti, I think I'm going to take the plunge and order it. BTW I'm also looking forward to acquire one of your famous stand.
  20. valkryenov
    Arrrgh that visor + the pauldron, I'm starting to regret missing it in the past. Well what's done is done time to start saving. Hope it will still be available at a reasonable price.
  21. valkryenov
    Thanks for the insight brother spanner76, you will really make me sleep better at night, knowing that I've probably struck a good deal in buying this
  22. valkryenov
    Hi everybody, I wonder if the price of this auction is considered on par, above or below the market for dx yf-29 alto custom used jpy 13.370 http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=u82402551 Will appreciate any insights
  23. valkryenov
    There is no shame for being old school, cause I am too!! VF-1 all the way but specifically VF-1J of the Max and Millia fame. sheer terror for the enemy just by looking at those blue and red VFs
