    Oh well, not really trying to convince you. Anyways, your loss, more cool toys for others who enjoy great toys beyond one line. I'll take more Macross HMR all day too!

    The non Macross releases are some of the best figures to come from HMR or any other toy line. They are a great representation of more obscure mecha with the same (or might I say more) passion put into them as the Macross stuff. A very welcome addition to my collection and a testament to how great the HMR line is to anyone who has them!

    Wow, thanks! I would have thought to do it the other way around so thanks for the warning! Ah, I missed that part. Lazy reading on my part. Thanks! I will be taking pics and posting as soon as I get around to opening and then the long process of adding all the small parts.

    Thanks for the compliments and recommendations! I've never had to use decal softener before and this shouldn't be an issue since it is just a smooth flat surface. I think the issue was just me half assing the job. If I redo it, I will post new pics to see the difference. Looking at it again, I think it may benefit from a topcoat if I do redo it so I'll see how it all turns out.

    Nice! Almost time to open some of the extra HMR VF-1s I have!

    All the other Destroids have been available on clearance so... Anyways, I'm in no hurry. When they make them, I will buy. Until then, money saved!

    Look forward to seeing that finished!

    Thanks! I think I may have just gotten lazy and not pressed it flat all the way around with the qtip. Never used decal softener before but I’ll check it out if I need to.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Slave IV replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    That’s pretty much what I said. Other than I still think it’s better late than never. Anyways, doesn’t make a difference to me what people do with their accounts.
  11. Slave IV
    Definitely! I have a similar plan that may work better. Will see when I get around to it.
  12. Slave IV
    Yeah, I suck at this but it's still better than nothing. I'll try to stick to straight edge decals from now on.
  13. Slave IV
    And Max now has his Kites too. Man, I suck at this! Thank goodness for PF version if I really cared that much.
  14. Slave IV
    Lol! That’s great! On another forum, a bitter mod deleted my post when I was asking what Qi’ra’s other hand was molded to do

    2 Different things. I don’t see any HMR VF-31s to tell Bandai those would be blockbusters. If anything, people buying any of the ET VF-2s at any price says a whole lot.
  16. Slave IV
    Looks simple enough but very good!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Slave IV replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I shop at all the major stores and get the pros and cons of them all. On an expensive item like DX Valks, I save around $20 or more at NY and given how much I buy, it adds up to multiple free Valks a year and that is better than any insurance to me. I don’t abuse HLJs policy like what was mentioned before but just suggesting an honest communication with them, especially if they are already on the verge of cutting your account, nothing to lose. I get they don’t have the same policies there but maybe if they see enough reason to be competitive with prices, it will help us, the consumers.
  18. Slave IV
    Nice beam effect! Did you make it?
  19. Slave IV
    Thanks! Probably looks better since it’s out of focus. Oh, I will open it. Been waiting a lifetime to!
  20. Slave IV
    No 1/3000 for this thread? Just focus on 1/100 then

    Got my VF-1A Super...whew! No mismatched armor issues.
  22. Slave IV
    Got some Macross gems! Opened the small one first because of all the reports of mismatched armor parts. Whew, no problems here!
  23. Slave IV
    Thanks! I only edited a bit by adding the skulls to the black stabilizer decals as I mentioned a few posts back and then put all the images I wanted on one sheet but I made no changes to the images themselves, just printed as they came. I definitely need to set the printer to print darker next time and not cut circles at 3am. But I probably won't ever fix these ones I already did because, yeah, they look fine from any distance beyond a foot, which is where they will be seen from 99% of the time.

    Waterslide decals of Skulls and Kites added to some of my Valks thanks to @Lolicon & @sumyumgoy Need to adjust my printer to print darker and maybe not try to cut circles at 3am but hey, looks better than nothing and I'm happy.
  25. Slave IV
    So, I suck at cutting circles but Super Packs look better with Skulls and Kites. The VF-4G Skull came out well. I need to darken the print settings next time but I'm happy for now. Thanks for all the decal files @Lolicon & @sumyumgoy!
