    Nice book! I won't invest in CGC but they are definitely impressive to have.

    Yeah, 1/48s had some incredible paint schemes. Weathered ones are really cool. Yeah, they are my favorite too with the same complaint about the hands. They don't bother me too much though. It would probably be easy for someone to model some huh?

    Kit looks good! In this case, I waited too long and missed the NY preorders for the 31A but I'd gladly trade my preorders from other shops to go with NY. if something like that ever happened and they didn't refund me, I would just have my credit card company handle it and if NY kills my account in retaliation, oh well to a good run. I could always open a new account with a different email and address if I really wanted to but yeah, that would also suck to have to do.

    That does suck. I don't mind waiting and luckily have not had any issues with them.

    That's a sensible conclusion.

    I think you should start from the beginning and get yourself a Chunky Monkey if you've never experienced those original 1/55 Valks. But being a Transformers collector, you must have had a Jetfire from back in the day. If you want something current, the Arcadia SDF-1 and VF-0S are coming out soon in Premium Finish versions and are two on the nicest pieces you can have in a Macross collection. I think Arcadia's VF-0S is the single best Valk toy ever made IMO. It combines the classic style of the VF-1 with updated looks and the toy is the closest to perfection I've seen.

    Yeah, all the new 1/60 stuff (some, not so new) is cool and I like all those too but the 1/48 Yamato Valks are really simple and special, especially with all the variants they made. I will try to get one or two more and then I think my 1/48 collection will be complete.

    My Low Vis Camo Armor finally has a Valk to wear it!

    Based on the price of the Yamato SDF-1 and other PF releases, I'm thinking this one is not going to be around at retail price for long. I'm glad I have mine preordered.

    Haha yeah..I'm pretty much the opposite of the OP. This is the first time I've ever had the resources to know what's coming out beforehand, have the sources to easily (kind of) purchase them and have the finances to do so. Because of this, I'm buying more Macross than I ever did and frankly, I wish they would slow a lot more so I can take a break. Right now, I'm most looking forward to HMR Destroids, Enemy Mecha and accessories like stands, effects parts/dioramas to go with the figures.

    Only thing I ordered out of the new Marvel Bandai stuff was a bunch of those stands!

    Haha, nice! I'm not pointing the finger solely at you but just saying since you are the one bringing it up. I'm a strong believer that 3D printing is going to keep getting bigger and bigger but think it will take more time and more people supporting it. The hardpoint issue does seem to me at least to be a qc issue since mine and many others have no problems. But to have as many reports as we have is already pretty bad. These things should be 100% or very close to it out the factory considering the limited amount and price of them.
  14. Slave IV
    Do you own a 3D printer? If not, that's part of the problem. We need to support the things we want to succeed. As for the hard point issue...non existent in any of my Arcadia Valks. They all work fine with no stress marks.
  15. Slave IV
    Also, when you say we can all 3D print our own toys and parts...that in itself is the opposite of mass produced. The day will come and in a sense is already here where you can buy plans and print them out yourself. It's going to a matter of when printers are common to the point whet it makes sense for companies to stop manufacturing completely and just sell plans instead. That is pretty far off still.

    If anything, I think they charge 10% upfront. Shipping for my 31A is 2,490.

    Well played

    This pretty much sums it up for me. I don't have the Yamato version and the price difference for someone to do all the work for me is worth it. Plus, the pics of the PF version look good to me. Sure, someone who spends weeks doing it themselves might get a better look in some areas but they will still have sticker outlines. The valks all look fine to me without the PF treatment but the only reason I got the upcoming 0S preordered is because I wanted an extra and it costs the same or less than aftermarket prices anyways.
  19. Slave IV
    Yeah, Oxberg should be right. I was just copy/pasting from the post above mine.

    Billy/Oxford with glass shelves is prime! Love mine. Keeps dust out, holds a lot and looks great.

    What's the SHF labels for? Finally some more Macross SHF?

    Oh man...Luckily, my mom boxed all mine up for me after I moved out.

    The monitor worked out as a nice bg for the 1S there.

    They sure do!
