Hmmm.. This is the second noted account of the two left side leg armour pieces, As I can't remember who actually documented this problem the first time. Hopefully that this is just an isolated incident.
-
Well.. If either Bandai/Arcadia makes the YF-21 (we'll see who will eventually) and the possible HMR YF-21; I think that a figure of Guld will be a no brainer.
-
@Duymon: Got a squadron of VF-171 ready for deployment when needed? Glad to see and read that there are members that still like the VF-171 even though it's one of least desired valks in the entire Macross series. Maybe picking up Luka's RVF after getting Alto's and the Armoured Parts for my ever growing valk collection.
-
Aye Caraumba!! @Kicker773: That's one heck of a massive Macross collection. Maybe a bottle of Glenfinddich/Hibiki as a down payment for anyone visiting your premises for a tour? Edit: Was there a Guld figure made or just only Isamu?

@Shizuka the Cat: Here's a few following links that might help out https://www.amazon.com/Coaster-Home-Furnishings-950179-Cabinet/dp/B00FPGP7W0/ref=pd_sim_196_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00FPGP7W0&pd_rd_r=SYFC62X24638AEGE8VZF&pd_rd_w=ojdOE&pd_rd_wg=62jss&psc=1&refRID=SYFC62X24638AEGE8VZF Make sure that you don't have anything heavy if you decide to get this according to one of the reviewer. As for the famous Ikea Detolf that we all grown to love due to it's affordability (building it is another story). https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/10119206/#/10119206 And the other option noted by Sanity - Use Craigslist as well. You can really get good deals on pre-owned ones. -

@Shizuka the Cat: You can try some acrylic stands and shuffle your valks around for a display that you like (and also ArchieNov's idea). If you need a bigger display stand without taking a beating to your wallet, you can try looking at second hand furniture stores or look thought websites that offer used furniture (not totally destroyed) for sale. Edit: Which reminds me that I'm looking for a wider display cabinet for my collection. The two Detolfs that I have are not space friendly and doing the double detolf mod is not a viable option as I would like to keep my detolfs intact. -
Correct me if I'm wrong here.. The Supers for Mirage's 31c is out on the 16th; however the actual shipping day for the ones that made a pre-order gets shipped out during the weekend of the 25th to the first full week of May correct?
-
Or none of the above options for a refund or a discount.
-
Are you getting the HMR VT-1 (Super O) on the last week of August/beginning week of September or waiting for the DX YF-19 to be released if you missed the pre-order fiasco?

Just reading you're feed back in regards to the VF-4 @Shizuka the Cat. Wasn't the VF-4 a prototype of a future valk that was to be produced and that's why there was no need to add the Super and the reaction missles? Starting to watch Macross 7 now as I didn't watch it originally and now thinking that the VF-11 was possibly based on the design of VF-4? If anyone can correct me on the two above items, greatly appreciated. From Jenuis' pic on Anymoon. Edit: Is the VF-0s longer than the SV-51 (as I don't have a VF-0 valk in my collection)? One hour later.. The SV-51 are longer and taller than the VF-0s.
-
I don't think that Messer's 31f will be anything different or with Lil' Draken add on set that can I theorize on. The only thing that they will be different is the addition of separate attachment clips of the Lil' Draken to the Sigfrieds (I can be wrong on that).

Or maybe the 20+1 version that he's got stashed for kit bashing purposes? -
Interesting.. I just found out that the pic that @seti88posted with the arm and the Strike VF-1S Hikaru is actually the Trident Stand with the adjustable arm and the gantry way(?) for the pilots to enter their valks after looking at it carefully. I wonder if that Bandai decided not to make the set (stand, arm and gantry way) given that it will not be a cost efficient way of doing it at a massed produced quantity?

@sh9000: You managed to get a copy of the HMR VF-1J with the GBP at last! @Shizuka the Cat: That would be Agent Smith from "The Matrix Trilogy" played by Hugo Weaving (Ninjaed by @505thAirborne before my post). He also did Elrond in the "Lord of the Rings" and in "The Hobbit" Trilogies plus other movies. @Sildanihas a avatar of him as Elrond with the sunglasses. This just came in yesterday afternoon via Amazon. Don't have to drive around the town around to look for this anymore and also pay close to $100 CND (before taxes) for this..
-
That's the same one..
-
I know its Golden Week in Japan so all of the Japanese sellers are on a break now. If anyone missed out in the pre-order of a 31a and didn't use NY, the ebay listing might be of use. Sounds reasonable?
-
Looking at the listing prices as of now (2018/04/28 12:02 AM P.S.T) for the 31a. Three separate listings on Fromjapan: $60k -$80K Yen. One on Ebay listed by hobby_spirit: $700 USD. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Macross-Delta-DX-Chogokin-VF-31A-KAIROS-LIMITED-EDITION-BANDAI-JAPAN/112951835288?hash=item1a4c743a98:g:sMUAAOSwUDBay7No Pick your poison and hopefully that you get what you want.. Or as in the Matrix Movie from a quote by Lawrence Fishborne (as Morpheus) in which one pill to take: "This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." I think that most of us take the red pill and further down the rabbit hole of Macross collection we enter..
-
You guessed right.. I wasn't in the YF-19 madness as I have acquired Mirage's 31c from Amiami (pre-owned) and another Macross related item somewhere else, so the wallet needs a breather. I'm in for the YF-21 though.

That is correct! I believe that that this one with Max (and the green coloured one?) was in one of the scenes in DYRL. It's been a awhile since I saw DYRL (bootlegged version) on DVD. -
I don't expect Hi-Metal stuff to be loaded with metallic joints anyways unlike the huge large scale DX Chogokins [EG: Manzinger, Hulkbuster MK. 44 (is the new one the MK. 47/48?), Go Lion, Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, and the upcoming Dragon Caesar, etc..]. * Just a thought: If the YF-19/21 does get the full blown DX Chogokin treatment, then I can guess the price will be in the range of Arcadia's PE SDF-1 I take it? Ouch! That's almost 2 brand new 1/6 figures paid for..
-
Thanks for the clearer pics Noel.. I'm looking at the shoulder, arm, hips, and the knees (as per all the HM and HMR releases) for the metal joints. Wishful thinking here: Maybe the ankle/foot pivot as well?
-
And we all know that @Shizuka the Cat will be also looking forward in getting new releases to build her collection up.
-
I'll try to de-clutter my convoluted thoughts here.. Based on @no3Ljm's post, it looks like the GN-U mold of the YF-21 is used to me (didn't see the valk mode on the side). If this was a proto type/custom of a future release of YF-21 in either HM (or HMR format), I am thinking that there should be a slight hint of a metal joint hinge shown in between the connecting joints (as per the HM and the HMR releases). Like you mentioned, this is most likely a custom/very early prototype sample (and thanks to Noel's post as well).. Looks like that the possibly of a HMR YF-19/YF-21 in a few years might be a reasonable wait??
-
If so, then the metal joints would be well hidden and not be easily seen. As per my interpretation of the pic above, the dark shading in between the joints looks like where the two parts attach with out any metal attachments (or am I seeing things)..
-
A quick question for those who have Messier's/Hayate's Supers and didn't per-order during the initial stages: Has there been a problem for any of you to acquire the Supers after release day? Will Mirages' Supers be possibly a shelf warmer given that Messier, Hayate (and now Arad) are the most commonly ones that are sought after? I know that there wasn't much of a character development for Mirage even though she was a grand daughter of the famous M&M dual.
