Cool! thanks!

Thanks for the scans Graham! My keyboard is about to short circuit from all the drool. *EDIT* I'm curious wether it can bend its feet mid foot as shown in the anime.

Some people's VF-0S elbow joints broke, I don't think they will complain about getting the whole arm instead of just the shoulder.

If this were a poster for Mac Zero 'Tree people' would be just right. Nice poster BTW. Why are there two bright lines on the right of the poster? maybe you could put two Valks at the end of those lines.

What, you think Yamato won't do the Valks for the new series? You're not getting out that easy.

This is going to be the badassed Gerwalk evah!!!!11

Wanna know about Tisinc99? Check this thread.

nevermind.

I still can't believe that the shoulders on Shin's VF-0A aren't made of POM. If they aren't made of POM, Yamato will have to make replacement shoulders available for Shin's VF-0A too, which would cost them money. They knew this when they started producing Shin's VF-0A and they had the POM shoulders available too them. It just doesn't add up does it?

Check this post by EXO for a fairly hi-rez image of the DYRL? SDF-1.

Gorbatsjov?

Nah, let's play it safe and go with titanium, it's already calculated into the price of these things anyway.

Mail sent!

? Am I missing something? Could you link to a specific post?

I regret to say you're probably right.

The airbrake for the Valk. So I'm not the only one having this minor problem. The airbrake on the CF VF-0A fits much better, the one on the VF-0S also pops out sometimes,but not as much as Shin's VF-0A. I guess I'll just have to sand it down a bit. Dodgethis, thanks for the link. looks easy.

Do any of you have trouble getting the airbrake to close properly? Mine keeps popping out. I'm talking about the airbrake perverts... Dodgethis, what did you use to apply those panel lines?

Awesome job! Making the Minmay Guards are the only way Yamato could get me to buy another 1/48. Beautiful.

I checked the anime to see what stickers I should put on my VF-0A Shin. Guess what, there are no markings on the tail fins of his jet. Weird, I always assumed he was in Roy's squadron.

Want to see pics of the VF-0 with the Ghost? check this thread. the last couple of pages contain lots of battroid pics.

80 bucks?!? No way! I wouldn't pay more than 50.

It'll be released in october.

That would only be logical wouldn't it?

So, now that most of us have their Ghost in hand, do you think it's worth the money you paid for it? I, for one, find it to be a little expensive. It looks great, especially on the VF-0, but it's basically just a piece of plastic as it doesn't really do anything, except deploy it's landing gear. Not exactly something you can spend hour upon hour playing with. I know this sounds strange coming from a guy that doesn't play with his toys, but what got me into collecting Valks is the engineering that went into making these things transformable. When I show people my humble collection and I tell them that the fighter they see on the shelf transforms into the robot next to it they sometimes don't believe me. hmmm, I just realized that I'm slowly turning into a completionist... What was I saying? Oh yeah, is the Ghost worth its money? From a collectors point of view, I'd say maybe, as it's up to the individual collector if he/she wants to spend $40 for a piece of nicely shaped plastic to complete their collection. It makes for a nice display piece that'll add some variety to the line up of Valks, but at $40 it's a little too expensive IMHO. From a players point of view, I'd imagine it would move to the bottom of the toybox quite fast as there are much more exciting toys in Yamato's Macross line up. You can swoosh it around for a bit, but the Ghost from the combo isn't secured to the VF-0 tightly enough to play with so it'll fall off during the first barrel roll. Just my 2 cents.

August? My wallet just gave a cry of joy!
