The gaps between the FAST packs and the YF-21 don't bother me one bit. The FAST packs are fulgly and make the fighter mode look less sleek, so I won't be using them anyway.
Miriya, I envy you for being brave enough to get a set of these. I realy wish I had the skills to assemble a kit like this. Well, assembling wouldn't be the problem actually, it's the painting I'm worried about.
It'd be worse if they caught you drooling over a Zone of the Enders pic.
co-worker: "Hey, why does that robot have a big giant penis?"
jardann: "It's not a penis, it's a cockpit,... shees"
co-worker: "huhu, you said cockpit, huhu"
If Yamato can tampo print all these little marking on this "Exclusive" VF-1, why didn't they do it on all the others? We've been buying Valks with crappy stickers for years now when we could and should have gotten fully tampoed ones.
Macrossman is catching up fast, but I think sqidd holds the record for acquiring the most stuff in the shortest timespan. But like you said, it's not an armsrace, it's a hobby.
I recieved a PG kit from them once that was shipped in the same way, just bubble wrap and paper. You can choose to have them ship it in a box when you purchase from their website, but you have to pay extra for it.
As promised, here's a couple of pics of both of them in battle mode.
After transforming the old one again, I gotta say, the new movie version is a big improvement over the old version when it comes to the tightness of the joints.
You should go to Finland instead. I hear they actually have a shortage of men there and the girls are just as blond as the ones in Sweden.
Also, what eugimon said, We demand pics!!
PS. Oh, and thanks for the link to the youtube Blond chicks judo video.
Right now I prefer the new "movie" version but that might just be because it's my latest toy purchase. I have to say though, that it also looks a little more "realistic" and less like a toy than the old one.
I'll see If I can take some pics of both of them in battle mode tomorrow.
