Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Sildani replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I'd love to know about these things, if anyone has any thoughts or tips. Thanks! -
That looks great, I'm glad I'm getting one. Thanks IXTL.

Well, I got it done. Grasped the nose cone, prayed to Ghu, and pulled and it came undone with no apparent damage. That can't be the approved method, but perhaps it is. Rotating the legs didn't do a thing for me. Pics in aircraft mode, along with a pic of its successor. Wow, the 25 is a brute by comparison, although it's easy to see the design evolution. I'd still like to know how to maintain the rainbow effect and avoid the cracking others have experienced. Is there a trick to attaching the ordnance? From what I can figure out, the stores have to be angled toward the nose to fit over the wing posts, then you can rotate it forward. Problem is, it interferes with the other stores you try to put on next. I wanted the mini-missile launchers to be on the inner station and the AAMs on the outer, but the bulk of the launchers prevented that. Even this arrangement was fraught with peril, since the last thing I want to do is break the thin flange around the wing post. And now, with my VF-1 in hand, I must do... well, what most everyone does when they get a new, lovely Yamato 1/60 Valkyrie. Yes, off it and I shall go, into the sunset, to... Troll the internet for super parts, of course. I won't be picky, either. TV, DYRL, in box or no, I won't discriminate. All I need are all the pieces accounted for, in reasonable condition.

Pre-ordered from NY, thanks. $185 for a 171 WITH armor parts is almost reasonable.

Took a long while, but thanks to aaajin, I finally have a new Valkyrie! It's my first 1/60 V.2, and it lives up to all the good things ever said about it. I'm very pleased. That said, I have a few questions about it: 1. I have the Valk's back panel indented and the backpack hooked into place, as shown. That seems to be putting a fair amount of strain on the backpack's bottom hinge. On the other hand, if that back panel isn't indented, the backpack leans backwards. Have I missed something? Is my fear for the bottom hinge unfounded? 2. I can't transform from Battroid to airplane mode. The hip bar refuses to disengage from the nose. Look at the pic I posted - that's as far as it'll get. I did see the transformation vid on Collection DX, and the gent there said to rotate the legs downwards, assuming the Valkyrie is facing down. Well, I faced down, and I rotated, and all that happened is the legs rotated. What am I missing? 3. The shoulders in Battroid, specifically the square panels they attach to - the rear of those square panels is hinged, the fronts aren't attached to anything and just kinda move around. Is this normal? 4. Finally - this has a rainbow coated canopy, and it's perfect. How do I keep it that way? This is a great toy, and a brilliant representation. I love it. More pics when I can figure it how to unlock it!

Star Trek Beyond (the not The Search for Spock)
Sildani replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
At least Pegg's a dyed-in-the-wool Star Trek fan. That doesn't mean it'll be good, mind you, but at least he'll TRY. -
Oh? Do you just do skull leader, or could you do something else?
-
WITH super parts? And a Web Shop exclusive? That's great, and as was mentioned, I like the grey on white scheme.
-
Yak-9?
-
Yetistand... it grabs your toy and doesn't let go!
-
VF-1 Super and Strike parts, and a reissued VF-4 wouldn't go wrong. If you're asking about new stuff, well, they could do a re-jigged YF-21 or VF-22.
-
Can that be a playset? Please?
-
That Draken confuses me so much... Is it a scheme All Nippon Airways thought of? Is it a tribute to Frozen? Is it some kinda Sento Yosei Yukikaze thing? I just don't know!
-
That would work for most people I think.
-
Mirror image: the 21 above an inverted 19 display. Bad name for it I suppose.
-
I think some pre-set possibilities. One package for a basic Yetistand with one arm and an adapter of your choice. One package for a dual-arm setup. One package for the "mirror image" set up. Include pics with the Valks attacked so people will see them, imagine their own Valks in that configuration, think "Yeah! That's how I want them to look!", and then click one button to order all the necessary parts. They should just need to select adapters and holey/unholey base.

It's been said before, but Bandai only cares about the Japanese market for this stuff. HG has a lock on our hemisphere, so Bandai can't and won't bother.
-
Very nice site! My only suggestion might be some examples of "ready to go" Yetistand configurations with a one-click purchase option instead of just a la carte.
-
That's what you think: http://www.nippon-yasan.com/product.php?id_product=8318 For 19,000¥.
-
Wow. That's really nice of you, Yeti. Hope it helps.
-
Ayup. 180~200 and I'd be tempted.
-
Nice. Where's it from?
-
How much did he want for that 27?
-
Thanks for that, and you mounted the light strips in the front of each display "cell" or in the back?
-
Mm. Not quite yet though, since Arcadia still makes, arguably, the best VF-1 toy yet made. The Hi-Metals were superior in a couple ways, but overall Yamcadia's beat it. If Bandai did some re-engineering for this R series, though, it could be a whole new ball game.
