*attaches SDF-1 to his lanyard and starts hitting people* DAEDALUS ATTACK!

That's what it is! Thanks. I have the stealth fast packs so the piece is black. I thought looked like a couch as well.

I don't know what it is. I just received my first set of super parts last night and I was left with a black piece in the plastic tray. No clue where it goes... must be the neck collar. I know what the tab is.

Wow! Thanks. Those are great links. Looks like I'm going to have to get ahold of Macross Plus and Macross 7.

Is that support piece needed for fighter mode??

Oh, sorry. I know what Mistels are... but I do know that you are already becoming known as the second aircraft genius around here. Along with David. Say, does anyone have a site with some good line art of the various VF's? The Compendium is kind of lacking in that respect. (or I'm looking in the wrong spot)

Yah, so you got the equivalent of 3 Yammies for free. Lucky bastard. Impressive collection for your age for sure though! And I dig your CF custom.

Yeah "sort of". About the only thing similar being one aircraft on top of another. I wouldn't call that a historical precedent. The Ju88 didn't need the 190/109 on top for power, it was for guidance. Meh I'm sure you knew that. You're the one who posted the article. But I'd say historical precedent is stretching it.

As I said, please don't take offense at my comment on your age. Before you said how old you were in the TF thread I figured you were in your twenties. The only reason I brought the age up was because you have alot of expensive toys. That's all. I didn't buy my first Valk until I was 18. You joined in 2004, so you were around 14 when you started collecting! Crazy. I wish I had a job like yours. But still, I disagree with you on the problems with Yamato's products. To each his own.

I'm going to disagree with you there. What do you mean not the same level? Aimed at collectors? Price? Engineering? I think that the Masterpiece line meets all that criteria. And I didn't say that everything they do will suck. I just expect something next to flawless when I pay this much. I'm eagerly awaiting a fixed VF-0S release. I'd have purchased one already but the joint problem has me more than a little concerned since it seems more widespread. As for MP Starscream... don't even get me started. You'll find plenty of people that think the HFH screwed that one up and I agree. I had it on preorder, but I canceled it when I saw the final version.

Oh man, I'm going to have to check that scene out soon.

Damnit you just have to be an expert on everything, don't you? I like Irfanview myself.

I'll sell you my poorest quality toys if you want to pay what I did for them. (note: I don't own the YF-19 or the VF-0S, although I plan on purchasing the latter eventually) And I'm not trying to be negative either. I'm just stating my opinion. And yes, when I said Takara I meant the MP series. They are the only products that Takara makes that are in the same price range as Yamato's VFs.

The nose, more than likely. At least that's what pops out when I look at it.

Yes, and their name is Takara. Just because Yamato makes the best transforming Macross toys at the moment doesn't mean that they shouldn't be held accountable for bad workmanship. Perhaps I just expect too much for my money. Valkyries, despite being the most expensive "toy" (personally I'd call these things collectibles) that I collect, end up being the poorest quality.

Yep. Luckily that's my only beef with them. Great store.

Woohoo for that edit function! Here's a video where you can kind of tell that there's guys on the wings... kind of. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d03858b562

Alright, I gotta say something: just because you've had no problems yourself doesn't mean that you can run around and tell people who have had problems to shut up. There's absolutely no reason anyone should have to pay these prices for a shoddy toy. None. Also, I've noticed that you are only 17. I don't know where you're getting the money to buy all of these things at that age... if it is your money then more power to you. However, if your parents are chipping in and paying for these then I can see how it is clouding your judgement regarding the recent issues with Yamato's products. Now, I'm sorry if I sound like a total arse here. It's just that I've seen you try and downplay other people's problems in the YF-19 thread on more than one occasion.

TFW2005 has better pictures. I don't understand why bbts' pictures look so cruddy. You think they could invest in Irfanview or something?

It's their own fault. There is no way that I'm going to spend $150+ on something that may be broken out of the box/will develop problems later on. This isn't live or die here. If it isn't re-released then I just end up saving money.

Yeah. Pretty much every other retailer out there. Check out the sponsors at tfw2005.

Wow. That is VERY odd.

Heaven forbid that anyone tries to have a serious discussion about an event that occured in the Macross universe! Shame shame. For a second I thought I was on a website dedicated to said universe... oh wait. And besides, I'm one of the people stepping out and saying retroactive continuity, but apparently people don't like that explanation so heaven forbid I or anyone else tries to figure out something plausible.

It looks good, but I will definitely wait for more pics AND the second/third re-issue regardless. Cannon Fodder SV-51 for the win!
