  1. Wait. You're planning to top this one off? It's gorgeous as is. But still, looking forward to your next one. By the way, before you toss it out to the garbage bin, maybe you can toss it to us instead, MW's scavengers.
  2. Agreed. That's why it's so hard to top Macross Plus.

    Bandai 1/35 DX VF-1

    And here I am thinking there's a new update when I clicked this thread.
  4. Sure Spanner! You can keep it if you want once you receive it. Just paypal me US$180 to cover the shipment and insurance. You know how expensive it is to ship it to Australia. LOL
  5. Like Spanner said, time to get the Arcadia renewals. By the way, did anyone ever mentioned it to you that it's going to have a Reactive Armor next year?
  6. Nice! I love Shaider as well. And Annie of course. I mean, she's the only reason why I watched it in the first place. Hehehe. I always remember the episode where she went to full gear Cowgirl. My used Yamato VF-0S / Ghost Booster set that I purchased before from Mandarake came with loose joints so I added some silicon rubber in it. So far I don't have that broken shoulder syndrome on my VF-0S. But yeah, you can check out Shapeways or PM VF5SS if he has some extra stocks.

    Hi-Metal R

    Congrats on everyone who got their Monster PO. And hope it's not that bad to secure one. Anyways, if anyone interested there's someone who's selling a vintage MAC II Monster at eBay. Not sure if he's a member here.
  8. Finally Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy's DRAX. Photos from TagHobby.
  9. Sad to say it only comes with 2 Squires based on the infos I found online.
  10. No worries, man. So if you have old and new, any scale Macross toys, just post away. Not sure about the kits though since they have a separate thread for that.
  11. Just finished watching it. Thank you sir for doing this review. Really appreciate it. Even with all those negative things I hear and read about this release, it still didn't stop me from preordering Nexx.
  12. I'm quoting here the thread's owner post from Page 1: So basically, you can post any Macross toys now without restrictions on what scaled and which company made it. Unless noted other wise as the pages go. As for the shoulder cannon question, there's no info that those 'speaker' looking shoulder cannon is really a cannon. The only armaments this Valk have are the missiles and large beam cannons mounted on the arms. And cartoon-wise, the VF-4 didn't transform in the Flashback2012 OVA, and we didn't see it fires any projectiles during the 5-10 sec. that was shown. On the PSX/PSP games, I believe it just uses the missiles and the arm cannon. Hope that helps.
  13. PO'ed NEXX as well even though I'm not a big fan of the 'blue' stripe. How I wish they also included the regular Medium Rail Gun that came with Silvie's aside from Nexx's Heavy Rail Gun. So two guns.
  14. You're welcome sir! Just appreciating your gorgeous pics. So the Arcadia version still has that loose elbow joints. Good thing the missile tabs is tighter this time.
  15. Hey MrMarch. Just call me Noel. It's just no3ljm not no3ljim. Jim is my uncle. Hehehe.Me too. I've wanted to have a Motoko figure for years now. And somehow I'm not liking all the ones out there. And sometimes they will just do Motoko and not make Batou or something. I really want my figure to have somehow a partner. You know just to have contrast and balance. Congrats also in advance on your VF-4G. Highly recommended. For sure you're going to have a great time with it. Just let us know your feedback once you get it.
  16. Careful praising the VF-4G too much, guys. We don't want to put too much pressure on Spanner.
  17. To be fair and honest. If I understand correctly what your first post regarding what I've posted, yes sir, I like you too. You've been nice and very helpful everytime I have query via PM. And yes, it was unclear. And that's the reason why I PM'ed you after seeing that reply so that we can talk about it since I don't have an idea why you reacted like that based on my post. This is the first time it happened to me and you're making me feel like I'm greedy and unethical. They just offered options and all I did was choose. And since I already heard some cracking sounds on my toy this morning while trying to fix it since the day I got the item hope that justifies it. But I guess it won't matter anymore because I can't return nor asked for 100% refund coz I already put stress marks on it. And just so you know, it's unethical for me to return a broken toy within the said 10-day grace period esp if it's my fault for doing it. That's not ok in my book. If only I could tell if the toy doesn't have a manufacturing defect esp those hidden parts just by looking instead of transforming it from day one that would be nice.
  18. Hey B! Thank you. I know I posted I'm not gonna complain anymore about this. But this is the last time I'll ever mention this one. Right now, I will feel bad if I'm going to sell or trade this Valk. I tried pulling and wiggling it more last night and this morning and harder this time until I heard some 'cracking' sound so I stopped pulling it more. And I already see some stress marks where the metal pin is inserted on the feet. I really have a feeling that this one is 'glued' or something. There's some residue I see which is not visible in the other ankle. So I think that figure is done for and will stay in Battroid mode. Sorry sir. My advice always is to open the toy and transform it. Even just once to see if everything works perfectly.
  19. Whoever gave you the idea that I was blaming the toy? All I ever posted after mentioning that I already took the 'take the money' option, was like the ankle still won't budge after 2 days in a row of wiggling it, until some guy asked me about the 10 day window. Which in fact it hasn't pass yet. So I replied to his post. And yes, you don't need to tell me that I'm stuck with the toy because I already know it the moment I choose the said option. Don't worry sir, I won't vent out anymore regarding this specific toy. So cheers.
  20. Oh-kay. Now I understand. I guess, this is the best way to elaborate my query before. Sorry if I mislead you or anything. It's not my intention. And yes, probably you're right. Maybe the timing of my words is misleading or something. Or maybe, it's just the way how I construct my thoughts to words. I wasn't born where English is the first language. So sorry about that. The reason why I'll feel bad afterwards is simple. Just in case, I forced to move the joint on this $300 toy and breaks some plastic parts, assuming that tightness is a manufacturing problem, would there be a chance for me to return the broken item for exchange? No. If only this is bought here in the US, yes, we can return it or exchange it without a problem. They offered 3 options, and I choose. Besides, are all Arcadia's $300 toy going to be like that everytime? That we always need to fix something right out of the box? And I don't see why taking the discount and still complaining about the ankle joint problem IS a problem? Does that mean, that even if I already took the discount option, taking the money as how you put it, I don't have the right to try and fix my toy problem? I'm just like one of you guys here that when you get frustrated with certain toys you vent out. And be thankful if somebody gives you advice on how to fix it. Well, I'm thankful, I listened and already did all the advices that was thrown on how to loosen the joints, and it's still not working. Now venting it out on this forum that the joint is still not moving, is still a problem? Sad to say, the lesson I learned today, is that when somebody offered you a compensation, you just need to keep your mouth shut and ignore your problem.
  21. Yes, I know HLJ's 10-day window. That's why I always open my package as soon as I receive it so I can check and inspect it to see if there's damage or anything. This is the first time I got something like this. I already tried wiggling the damn ankle joint as hard as I could. And by doing so, there's a chance of me putting more stress to the plastic (feet). I don't want to risk it by breaking it and feel bad about it afterwards since I can't return it or exchange it anymore. And HLJ is so kind enough to reply and say sorry that I've got a bad experience with the toy and they offered me 3 options. So I decided to get the discount option and purchased another VF-0S from them. And since this ankle joint won't budge or anything, and I don't want to pull it further, I decided to keep it in Battroid mode for the upcoming Reactive Armor.
  22. As always, Saburo, awesome and lovely pics. By the way, can you confirm if all the missile tabs are loose and if the elbow joints are loose too like Yamato's? Thanks in advance.
