    The part of the 171 that really annoys me is tweaking the arms around until they finally lock in properly. At least I don't feel like I'm constantly about to break it though, like I do with the 262 and reaching in for all those tiny hinges to massively torque on them (because of how tight they are).

    Did they not notice how terrible those faces are? Or did they just not care?

    Don't have a -51 yet, and my YF-21 is still in the box.

    Macross Figures I do not enjoy transforming: SV-262 VF-171EX Macross Quarter Koenig Monster There's not much fight over that top spot.
  5. Sanity is Optional
    That I don't mind. Between the 1/72 model and the 1/60 figure, I actually find the model to be easier to transform.

    HLJ is my preferred place, but good luck getting a PO initially. Stuff finally shows up for order randomly, and even with a web monitor I'll probably be away from the computer.

    At some point, it's a bit more complicated than just scaling up the 1/72. I'l try to do it this weekend.
  8. Sanity is Optional
    Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot.
  9. Sanity is Optional
    You're right, I'd completely forgotten about that.

    I need to take a second crack at the Wing Zero, probably going to leave it in bird mode, since that's a different stand adapter, which looks much more solid. I am not regretting the Gipsy Danger at all, I'm amazed the thing's not sold out.
  11. Sanity is Optional
    It's still available, if you've got a spare kidney.

    Well, I've only got a potato-phone, but here's some photos. The stand for the Wing Zero, it disappoints me, the darn thing keeps canting off to one side between the stand and the crotch-attachment. The details and gimmicks, however, are pretty awesome. But seriously, the stand attachment needs to be WAY more solid for something with that much hardware hanging off of it. The Gipsy Danger rocks, though the armor and design restricts the articulation a bit, especially the shoulders and waist. It's HEAVY, lots of metal. Pretty much everything from the knees to the waist pivot is steel.

    This showed up out of the blue, never even got a notification it'd been shipped. I'll put up some actual pictures tonight, along with the DX Chogokin Gipsy Danger and RS Gipsy Avenger that are apparently waiting at my door.
  14. Sanity is Optional
    I'll be honest, if it wasn't for the armored pack, I'd probably skip it. Sure I could put that on Chucks (if/when they come out with it), but then I couldn't have the dish.

    Well, Bandai makes a bunch of 1/60 scale stuff, for sci-fi series. PG Gundams, the new Full Metal Panic kits, Patlabor. Kotobukiya's FMP kits are also 1/60 for that matter.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    The Bandai, Yamato, and Arcadia Macross figures are 1/60 scale (And Bandai's HM/HMR line is ~1/100). The Bandai kits are 1/72.

    So, looking at my 2 VE-1s, the nubs on this thing are atrocious. Had to spend a good 10minutes with a hobby knife cutting them all flush, and trying to hide the gouges and stress marks left from manufacture. Never seen a HMR this bad, and I've got Max&Milia, Messer, Missile Regults, Glaug, Spartan, Defender, VF-2SS, and an old HM Roy.
  18. Sanity is Optional
    No problem. I'll remove the option for Strong+Flexible from those parts once I get home tonight.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, I got an email about it. The issue is the front (sharp) end of the two shell pieces. I can either bulk it up, and you'll have to shave it sharp, or you can print in FUD/FED. I personally printed mine in FED, since there's some detail I added to the body, and the cost of FUD vs FED is pretty close.
  20. Sanity is Optional
    I thought I was going to stop after a couple valks. Now I have 20 (just in 1/60 scale), plus the macross quarter and SDF-1, plus a bunch of Hi-Metals.

    I've shipped a couple items by boat. Banzai Hobby sale stuff (HiRM Wing Zero, couple Hasegawa Macross kits), and a PG from Nippon Yasan that was on significant sale. All arrived at about 2.5months later, condition was just fine.
  22. Sanity is Optional
    Picked mine up from the post office on Monday, and the answer is yes. Need at least 1 more (than Milia and Roy) so I can have all 3 modes displayed.

    Given that they only released armored packs for the VF-25 Alto and Ozma, and tornado only for Alto and Michael, I imagine it'll be the same here.

    Arad's VF-31 also comes with the reaction missiles as part of the base set, so at least you're getting more for that 1,000yen extra.
