It is the same guy that designed the 1:72 model. And even Yamato has similar issue with their VF-17 - the hands can hide in fighter mode but you still need to remove and store the hand covers somewhere in other modes.

Noticed some good deals at Mandarake http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-516794.html http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-628280.html http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-725354.html

Just want to correct the numbers. The current HLJ 20% off price is: 26,240 yen (US$ 326) v.s. 12,640 yen (US$ 157) The model shipping cost is a little higher due to extra parts hence heavier. I don't have much model skill and if I have the model I would be most worry about the big water slide.

The problem is in most cases the CG is blocked by the belly mounted gun, surrounded by arm and leg part that you don't want to add plug holes. There are exceptions: Yamato 1:60 YF-21/VF-22 all has a flat belly fighter mode and the stand adapter is close to CG, and the big stand of YF-21 let you can put it at extreme angles safely. Bandai 1:100 Hi-metal VF-1 also has a stand adapter near CG. Although it is not very secure the unit is not heavy enough to cause problem, and you can show it at extreme angles too. For example: Bandai 1:100 Hi-metal VF-19S - now that is a failure since you can't put the gun in fighter mode.

For December release, no price yet. It's only CG but I am surprised they can keep the wing mounted missiles in folded wing in B mode. The tricky part is the rear land gear on the legs will be covered by the armor. I would like to see how they handle that.

Got a link for the announcement? Nice. AmiAmi cut off at the end of month and you may get screwed on shipping when those Bandai end-of-month release got slightly delayed. AnimeExport also hold your stuff until you tell them to ship, but I don't know if they stated any time limit.

If you really want water slide decal for 1:60 you can order this set: http://www.ibuyxyz.com/items/toys/action-figures/macross~af-/decal_60vf1-detail.htm

According to this you need some modification. http://gbmshop.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-equip-tornado-pack-ver1-on-vf.html

Come on only Ranka can fit Mylene's outfit. I may actually get the SD Minmay. It looks similar to the unpainted fig from the SD Joke Machine VF-1S, and should fit with any VF-1 display very well.

Continue from old thread. http://www.macrosswo...showtopic=29101 I don't collect non-mecha figs, but the new stuff coming from Banpresto are just wacky. 2012 September Macross ~歌姬Collection~ Macross F DX Figure Shenyl ~Fire Bomber Ver.~ Macross F DX Figure ~Nurse Ver.~

14,000 yen, or about US$180. Tradition shops HLJ/Amiami/AE/HobbySearch gives their default 10% to 20% off discount.
-
New price is still way higher than the original IMAI 3200 yen. More photos at http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10188548

The official listing of VF-171 was posted on Tamashii web on Feb 29, and Amimai/HLJ etc started taking order the next day on Match 1st 3AM EST. Well I already setup my web update scanner but I don't have a bot that can auto buy from those shops.

I don't know... they haven't show if they fixed the biggest fault of version 1. I need to see fighter mode with land gears out and the gun not touching the ground. Although it is suppose to be from the same guy designed the 1:72 model so it should be fine.
-
That's mostly IShop2go's fault. Bandai HK has long history of under-supplying med range to high-end toys in the HK market, although in this case they have to get them from Japan anyway since only HG in has official Macross distribution license in HK.

Yes the magazine say September, 14000 yen

Dengeki Hobby scan

1:60, which you could have seen in the post above if Reïvaj didn't hotlink from site that don't allow hotlink.

Graham asked us if we want some more VF-1 base on the Macross the First manga too.

Super Deformed Destroids coming at Japan Wonderfestival
CF18 replied to ahiachris's topic in Model kits
MB23 is VF-1S with fast pack. Amiami has listing of most Metal Box model, but oddly HLJ and Hobbysearch don't list them.

It's suppose to have lots of green: http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/variant-vf-1a-unguard.htm

GK collection http://www.macrosswo...showtopic=36893 Also shown by Yamato: MB23 VF-1S Don't know if it is model or completed, but I am more excited about these possibly coming: http://www.macrosswo...from-metal-box/ But the most crazy stuff is this thing at Yamato's booth: 1/72 Macross VF-1S etching Model Kit??
