    Question, are the sites you guys have been listing in this discussion thread good places to get the combo set on the 28th? I missed out on the OG VF-1J so the set is perfect for me. I know it's probably going to be a pain in the butt to pre-order but I have to try. I'm on the East Coast and I looked at the time zone and it goes up at 3:00am for me, which sucks but it is what it is I guess. I'm just hoping for some sites to list it early so I'm not up in the middle of the night.

    I like the way you think

    I'm speechless. Those are beautiful. Awesome job! These are all customs you did yourself? What did you use for the base valkyrie?

    Wow, that's a departure from the entertainment industry. I'm just glad they finally have an agreement in place. It'll be interesting to see what HG does with it now.

    Wasn't sure where to post this so I'm trying here. Have a chance to buy a Yamato VF-1A Cavaliers valkyrie from and overseas seller. He's asking $470 shipped. Seems kinda high but I wasn't sure of the rarity of such a toy. I didn't think it was THAT rare but I wanted to get the opinions of some people on here.

    Ahh Gotcha. Just another way to make more money I guess. Smart but not good for us LOL

    It's surprising Harmony Gold hasn't gone into bankruptcy. How do they even make any money? The only thing they have worth anything is Macross and they don't seem to be doing much with it anyway.

    What's the deal with Tamashii Nations? How are they associated with Bandai and why do they get all these exclusives?

    I feel like it's been made as difficult as possible to be able to get anything from this franchise. Toys, movies, tv series etc. All because of the stupid legal nonsense. I don't think I've ever been into something that was made so difficult to try and enjoy. I'm still sticking with it, just wish it was easier.

    I see. Well hopefully with the new agreement that will change. Thanks for the info

    So I've only been able to see the original Macross movie, some of the robotech tv series and Macross Plus. I've seen none of the others but want to. What are my options, if any? Any streaming platforms that have them?
  14. Special Sauce
    Yes, that would be good as well.

    It would be great if it comes as a set with the grey visor VF-1J since a lot of people probably missed out on the original release, myself included

    One of my favorite designs (The Ozma itself). I feel though that I prefer the sleeker look of the super packs as opposed to the armor sets. I only have an armor set for my VF-31S and that thing is ridiculously big. It looks cool but maybe a little too busy for me.

    Damn. That's a lot of Valk right there.

    Such a great toy. Have to get mine out to play around with it. I need to get a nice display cabinet for him and the others I have.

    I'm trying to narrow it down to what it is and it does seem like it's the quality of the plastic used. Because they're a larger company they probably source their plastic from different suppliers to satisfy their needs. So it would make sense that some parts yellow while others do not.

    Panel line work on these came out amazing!

    There are several methods you can use to try and clean them up. Using cleaning solutions using peroxide and water or a mixture of vinegar, baking soda and water can work on yellowed plastic. I haven't tried it myself since I don't have any that are yellow yet. Styrofoam is a petroleum based product which when heated can release toxic gases. I imagine the combo of a hot attic or direct sunlight would releases some of the petroleum gases of the Styrofoam which would cause the yellowing. It would probably take some time for that to happen unless you're talking about some extreme heat. Styrofoam also degrades must faster than plastic. Could explain why you see a lot of yellowing in the DX line because they're packaged in Styrofoam. Of course I'm just spit balling but it makes sense to me.
  24. Special Sauce
    Must be a reaction to some kind of oils. Could be the Styrofoam packaging.

    Were they exposed to sunlight too much?
