  1. Wow LEGO of SV-51 and that transforming bike Mecha from the Netflix show that I can’t remember the name of. Cool!
  2. Cool, thank you for looking when you can. I didn’t even know that these were out yet twich
  3. What can you confirm about mold changes? It looks like it has Bandai DX thigh joint, what else? Twich
  4. My curiosity stemmed from the supposed Uber stats of the VF-24 and how even a SV-262 would be little match for it
  5. So here is something that I was thinking about, the NUNS fleet that we see destroyed by the knights of Windermere that were coming to use dimensional weapons on Windermere. What was the origin of that fleet? Was it the local Brisingr cluster fleet or one from earth? If from earth, wouldn’t they have the infamous VF-24? Twich
  6. so has it been sufficiently explained how orks can turn 2 bolts, a piece of jagged metal and some chewing gum and making it into a functioning nuclear reactor that powers their kroozers other than the orks psychic gestalt just making it so? I always found this answer to be rather lacking. I believe all the time that a semi truck will deliver every macross variable fighter toy, in triplicate to my house for me to enjoy and share with my family, but that truck still hasnt shown up in my driveway. Maybe I need more chewing gum? Twich
  7. what might be cool to see is the VF-0C for the UN Marines in marine camo pattern, really maximize the mold use. With the cost of the premium finish figures, I could never get one anyway, unless I win the lotto tomorrow or something. Twich
  8. It also looks like that airbrake might articulate, based on one of those pictures....or is that just really dark panel lining....hard to tell, but if they are trying to make it like a 1/72 scale DX toy, this might be an easy addition to the mold for them. Twich
  9. These improvements are great! These will be available in May? I wonder if MSRP will be effected? Twich
  10. Any word on a reissue VF-1J Hikaru without the stand and the almost $500 price tag for aftermarket? Also, since they have the mold, I would expect that a Max/Milia set are going to be coming about, which interests me, since they are all of a single color (for the most part) and white. I know the Max VF-1A comes close, but interested to see how it would fly with the M&M versions. Also, these seem to be packaged with the Fast Pack sets......makes one wonder. Twich
  11. Yes, new updates without a significant increase in price will garner more business for them. Wonder if we will see a flood of factory seconds bootlegs due to the large quantity that didn’t meet QC Twich
  12. What I would like to see, and correct me if I am wrong and this is already produced by Arcadia, but I would like to see a 1/60 VF-1J Hikaru Vermillion Leader release in regular or perhaps Premium Finish. I was not able to find if they have released this already. But, I would like to see this made by Arcadia. Twich
  13. Well, Since I just got the 35th Anniversary edition 1/60 VF-1J, I would be interested to see what they come up with for the 40th Anniversary 1/60 VF-1J! Twich
  14. Read most of the books, not collections of short stories and have played a little of the games. I have enjoyed the series and how well Henry Cavill played Geralt. The only bit that surprised me was the hint that Geralts' mother was a sorceress and that she gave him up to the witchers on purpose. As far as any story that I have read or lore in the video game, this has never been touched on, so I think that it was pretty cool. Cannot wait until season 2 shows up to watch the continued journey of Geralt and company. Twich
  15. Wasn’t the VF-1J supposed to be released before Christmas? Haven’t heard or seen anything other than those new pics from a few weeks ago showing new shoulder hinges and the new joint in legs under the intakes/hips. twich
  16. I was pleasantly surprised by an Arcadia 1/60 VF-1J 35th Anniversary edition toy! I’m very excited to sticker it up, although my wife and kids prefer the base paint scheme. Very excited and surprised! Twich
  17. noticed on the VF-1J GBP that the hands have articulated fingers which look different from the standard ones that are present on the toy. I hope that they do get to release all of these various VF-1 variants. I am curious as well where the prototype of the VF-1J with the new hips and the new shoulders comes from, because I went to the Kitzconcept website, their Facebook page and it wasn't up there. Twich
  18. that is a pretty smart looking VF-1 rendition. Are there other, better molds for the VF-1? Sure, Do they cost at least double, sometimes quadruple the cost? Now they do. For someone who just wants a cool, perfect transformation VF-1 that they could possibly give to their kid without having to worry about possibly breaking a toy worth $500, I think that this is a good option for those who are looking for a good, inexpensive VF-1. Also, with the improvements that they are making to the mold, I have to give them props. I remember the first V1 Yamato Vf-1 and thinking that it was totally the bomb, and then the 1/48 VF-1 was released. I know that this product was approved for sale by the big, bad Harmony Gold, but it looks like Kitzconcept is attempting to improve their molds and bring more value to their customers. Twich
  19. well, that is kinda interesting....having all of these little gimmicks in a $130-$150 toy that you do not have to go through all the hoops to get.....seems rather interesting, hope the hips isn't the only modification of the mold that they did. Twich
  20. So, I wonder if the VF-1S that just arrived at BBTS are a modified mold with any improvements. I would really like the VF-1J, but a VF-1S that is improved would not be bad either. Twich
  21. So, do we have anymore information on the "new" valkyrie that is being designed for the next Macross Delta movie? I know that there was quite a lot of speculation about what it was similar to, but I just saw the YF-21/VF-22 style fin/head laser and the mid wing engine nacelles look almost to have intakes on top and the bottom.....seems interesting Twich
  22. to emphasize, I think that there are so many greats that have been presented to us in Macross, it is hard to nail down one specific one.....though, I have always loved the YF/VF-19, I think that the VF-19Advance is the best representation of this. I really like the "bad guy valks", such as the VF-27 and the SV-262. Currently though, since they are the ones that I currently have toys of are the: 1) VF-31F Siegfried 2) VF-19Advance 3) SV-262 Draken III 4) YF-19 Bird of Prey (old yamato 1/60, the orange really does it for me...) 5) VF-2SS SAP Nexx custom I will reinforce the notion that the VF-1 holds a dear place in every Macross fans heart, specifically the VF-1J Hikaru, that more than VF-1S Roy is the most iconic VF-1 to me. I think that the VF-0 made the VF-1 more in line with size and whatnot with current valkyries and love the designs......unless I win the lottery or actually win at a casino, the $500 price tag for the VF-0D is just out of reach. had an original VF-0S that was cool and had a Sv-51Alpha that was good, also great designs. Looking forward to what we will be presented with in the new Macross Delta movie, the mystery valk is sexy looking... Twich
  23. Wasn’t it the variable glaug? Also the unmanned vF-11 that the ghost blew up in plus. looks very interesting, can’t wait to see the final product. If it does have 4 engines and is an SV Works creation.....imagine a variable fighter with 8,000kN of thrust and power generation to offer before fast packs are even considered! Powerful indeed, which begs that Kaos will have to field an upgraded/remodeled VF-31! More mecha action! twich
  24. It does look like it might have legs/engine nacelles under the fuselage, strong VF-27/YF-29 fine mixed with VF-14
  25. well, Windemere has quite a few of the SV-262's in both the Hs and Ba versions, unless they are made to dismantle their military, they would still use those valkyries, since they already own them and have the infrastructure in place to service/support them. I doubt that General Galaxies SV Works would not go through all the trouble of designing/building/delivering a whole new variable fighter without some plan to regain their investment in the design.
