Slave IV

Very nice! I think on my old CW, the point was a rubbery piece that came already attached. It’s one of the ONLY parts that doesn’t always fall off whenever I touch the damn thing. One of the main reasons I don’t want to buy any more of these things because I hate that everything always falls off and I don’t want to glue it. If this thing is still available after a while, I might impulse buy it but only if more pictures drive me insane without having it.

Ah, very nice! Thanks!

Damn, the enabling is strong! I was completely ready to pass on this but all the pics and quotes like, "A must have for all Macross Fans! " are not helping. I am a bit more intrigued by the carrier though. Also, did the tip of the nose break off or you removed it?

Wow! what is that? (the carrier)

Yeah, I'm still interested in the Calibre Wings one. I think it could work well for HMR to Arcadia VF-1s and everything in between.

That looks real good!

I think it’s closer to 1/250 or smaller for real scale. That’s a Gashapon Valk on it.

That’s awesome @sqidd! Thanks for sharing those pics! Meanwhile, I don’t think I need to order the Calibre Wings elevator anymore after getting this.

Who needs the Calibre Wings elevator anyways?

Nice!

Awesome! Congrats!

That thread says "Macross or toy" so it has been a great place for Macross collectors to share what they have been getting regardless of brand. We are all Macross collectors so it's a great thread to see what's been coming up without going to another part of the forum. The loose moderation here is one of the best things about this forum. It really sucks when a forum is so tightly moderated that conversation can't evolve to talk about some other things especially when it stems naturally from OT discussion. People are good enough about getting back OT once whatever the side discussion is done. There is nothing worse than a moderator moving posts around to fit tightly with the topic because you get posts that pop up in other threads that completely lose the context of why they exist in the first place. Anyways, just chiming in my thoughts. I think the stuff posted here is cool to see and can easily evolve into what the title says because there are plenty of "proper" Macross designs we haven't seen in toy form yet.

Thanks! Yep! All I can say is it was a bitch to get and the time I spent trying to order it is worth WAY more than buying it on eBay. I refused to give in though, lol! Baroness has been impossible for me still though.

Mission accomplished! Not happy with the pic but wanted to share something quick. The figure is all the shiz! Lives up to the hype and definitely a great figure. I still put Deluxe Snake Eyes above it but it's tough to beat Snake Eyes. My only criticism is the dumb pegs in the guns that also don't fit well in the holes in the back like Snake Eyes' backpack but at least I can hide them by using them as side grips. Also kinda wish the chest insignia was a removable part and it came in white and red so I can make a more proper officer. I need more of these but it seems pretty hopeless.

What part are you having trouble with? It’s one of the easiest VF-1s to transform besides the originals.

Who's going to give us a VF-1 toy with three wing pylons like this someday?

I hope they have some sort of acid resistant armor!

I don’t buy figures o don’t care about too often but the frustration of Target’s website trying to get the other figures I wanted drove me to get this just because it was the only one I could get. It’s not bad and I like the torso articulation that is a lot like the original ARAH figures but I just don’t care about the character and even less so for this version that looks nothing like the character it’s supposed to be.

Oh good to know, thanks! If they ever get that part worked out, I might buy another CW.

So there have been no improvements or something like magnets added (I saw somewhere mentioning they were making this improvement) to keep all the stuff in place? Bummer.

They have shown one on display in the past:

I don't like having to check another part of the forum to find Macross related items even if they are unlicensed or KO. Macross is so small and niche with so few products already. If you bunch some items in a part where there is a flood of non-Macross related items, I'll likely never see them and miss out if I wanted it.

Excellent!

Cool! All the previous releases were tempting to me but I don’t want to deal with the hassle and cost of getting them. I was really happy just collecting the MCX since they are cheap and don’t take much space but being able to grab these was a treat.
