    Price is at quite a premium, which makes it easy to skip especially since the scheme looks.. weird. Don’t really understand why some parts get clear bits and others not. Won’t sweat if I miss it, perhaps pick up at later date if it hovers around MSRP but definitely not if it goes to the current price of VF-1S Mechanics Edition.

    What is this abomination? Lol.. it really looks some KO mash-up..

    From the general DX 1/48 tread: https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/45206-bandai-dx-chogokin-148-vf-1/?do=findComment&comment=1696333 Details here: https://tamashiiweb.com/item/14921 This says a 'Tamashii Store Event', indicating that it is neither a general release nor a TWE. Is it available only via proxies for us? What's weird is that in the link, there are general links for it to be available outside Japan (Asia & US only, but not EU) almost like other WWM valks. Perhaps this being a non-canon VF-1 scheme, it is out of reach of HG... Edit: So, this is part of the Chogokin 59th Anniversary Exhibition, which includes 3 other products in their own 50th scheme: https://tamashiiweb.com/store/tokyo/event/detail/202405.html Here is the sale mechanism, still not fully understanding it. It sounds like available via both TWE and lottery scheme?

    I'm thinking the material rot on Anubis' tail should be more to do with long term oxidation than UV, so the lighting you are using shouldn't have much effect.. Another example of something similar would be Apple charging cables for their devices, which develops cracks and flake off at places along the length of cable after some time.

    Very nice display set up. I love the lighting arrangement, especially the curtain lights at the back.

    Technically not the most recent, but pretty stoked to have got the Master Made Makuros SDF-1 earlier this year. It is quite a well made.

    Nice grabs! I remember having a mini-obsession with getting them a few years back, & pretty ecstatic when finally got Anubis to complete. Anubis has a weak point though, the PVC / rubbery sheathing on his tail can rot & fall off, based on some used examples I’ve seen. I’m guessing a lot is to do with exposure to UV or oxidation, not unlike some plastic-leather materials on 1/6 scale figures..

    Very nice pic, love silhouettes like this.. And agreed on the rear landing gears, it's surprising Yamato didn't implement any sort of locking mechanism as they are always particular about the gears.

    So they are really vintage stuff... Awesome to see that design in 1988, and the size of those jets! Something we'll hardly see today unless it's some Haslab or kickstarter-type release.

    Haha ok I re-read my post, it sounds like I was really stating the obvious on the VF-19, but I was having the Yammie v Arcadia YF-19 in mind when I wrote that. It's just I met some casual collectors who thought they are the same molds & only insist on the DX YF-19, and I can see their confusion even if Arcadia's have already been out a long time. I brought out my Arcadia YF-19 once and the look on one's face was priceless when they realise how the new mold was superior in every way to the Yammie.

    Very cool, at first I thought the one the right is a Darkstar from Top Gun Maverick. Threw me off because of the pseudo-F-14 beside it lol. After looking it up, am only realising now it’s an X-19. Are these the same as below video & really vintage items?
  14. MKT
    The differences between the HM and HMR reminds me of the Yammie vs Arcadia YF-19. Individually they look similar but look very different side by side. And all doubts on differences immediately dispelled the moment one picks them up in hand.

    Thanks for the comparison. Ace Toyz weight being much more substantial is quite surprising, seeing how Bandai's already pretty heavy. I don't have Ace Toyz version, just Bandai's. I keep thinking Ace Toyz version is smaller even in the second comparison video, but on rewatch, the size is actually the same. I too am leaning to the light up features, which I'm usually impartial to as electronics in toys are usually more trouble than they are worth. The good thing is the on-off switch can be accessed easily. And now learning about the weight also tips me over to it as well - nothing like a good old school gokin-type feel sometimes. I didn't plan on getting this, but now I just might!

    Don't have a Switch, but got this just for the Terry figure.

    Ace Toyz' was out since middle last year, and it felt like they were only available mostly in Asia. Sold out at most places but here's one from Hong Kong that shows in-stock: https://robotoybase.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=7024 Comparison between Bandai's and Ace Toyz:

    Of all the Bayformer movies, original 2007 bots are the ones that make the most impression to me.

    Not sure when it started, but KC is having a spring sale. Many of their valks and figures are on heavy discount again. https://www.kitzconcept.com/index.php?route=product/special
