Thanks for that Firesped. I also check the manual and yes, we have to cut the main gun in half. Would nice to do it, but I'm not that good in modding. Hehehe. By the way, HLJ just emailed me payment request for the SDF-1 TV version. Looks like it's going to be release late October. Thought it's going to be November.

Yes it is! It falls on the category of 'Toys for the Big Boys'. Superion!

Is this the chunky monkey Bandai figure, correct? The old 1/55 Takatoku valks? For that sticker price you mentioned, I think it's better to buy the valk instead. Anyways, good luck on doing the modding/conversion. Looking forward on your update pics.

I agree with you guys. And all we can do now is just complain and somehow and hoping that it will reach Mr.K or Arcadia for that matter which we know it's not gonna happen so this is the reason why I just stop on expecting. All I do now is just shake my head and pay Arcadia for my VF-0S. Probably he meant $290. HLJ shows it's $290 something.

Are you referring to Mogo from the Green Lantern comics?

THIS is oh so true. And it's going to be covered with Fast Packs too if nobody prefers the Reactive Armor. But people for sure will react that the Fast Packs doesn't have the U.N.Spacy logo too. Atleast it will be diverted from the Valk itself. Hahaha!

Thanks for sharing this abbadon. Yeah, some tampo markings are missing. But what the heck, I'm done expecting too much from all the companies that's making Macross toys. It's either I'll have it or not to have it. At the end of the day, one thing I'm sure is that this one is more superior than the Yamato version. And that's good enough for me.

Love it! Wish I could do the same.

I think he has the Batgirl Sideshow Premium Format Statue. Based on Artgerm's drawing. Lovely.

Care to share some pics or insights about this. I'm interested to see what kind of modding we can do on the main turrets. Thanks!

Great purchases!

The YF-30 did hold together solidly, Scyla. That's what the 'hidden brackets' are for. j/k

Great weathering. Can't wait for the VF-19 Advance.

That's why I'm going to buy one to support them. And who knows later on, they decide to release the SAP unit on its own. That would be something.

Actually, I accidentally found some of the images last night via Google. And I studied how the VF-2SS transforms. Somehow, ET didn't copy the hinge-folding-swinging-metal-joint from the line art (Top Right image in the Fighter to Battroid shcematics and in the middle image in the Fighter to Gerwalk schematics). As far as I can tell based on this lineart, the pelvic joint supposed to have hinge mechanism that hides under the intake found under the chest. The chest slides forward in order for the hinge joint to fold for Gerwalk mode and slide back in. By doing that, the thigh intake shouldn't be under the chest like the ET toy have it but for potruding like in the line art. In Fighter mode, the shoulder should be more pushed back in towards the back area of the body. I can't tell why ET's version have more back bulkier underneath and why wing glove area is thicker. It's better if they design the shoulder joint with more on the push-in/pull-out design so that it will sit flush under the back area. I'm guessing that's the best thing that they can do to imitate the transformation. And for sure doing the lineart will be more complicated as is. The other mecha I could think of having the same underneath arm and leg placement configuration is the Z Gundam in Wave Rider form and comparing it to the Master Grade transformation. But not sure though if that can be applicable on the VF-2SS since the MG Z Gundam transformation has folding pelvic area instead of swinging bar. I'm stll curious though to have this in-hand so I can see it more. I wish they will also release new photos of the transformation or post videos like Bandai did on their previous DX releases.

Cool. Now I can save a little on shipping cost combine with the VF-0S and VF-2SS.

No worries there, B. Besides they got the VF-19 Advance right the first time. So they will do it right with the Delta Valks. Since the blue valk in the poster somehow have a 19 resemblance.

No worries here. I'm still keeping my preorder for this Valk despite of all the negative remarks and the photos shown online and by doing so I now feel that it's a gamble somehow. But in the end, I still think positive about it.

Delta is not out until 2016. So we still have time to save. Also the Valks that they will release along with the show is just V1. Let's wait for the Renewal by 2017. Lol. J/K.

Nice to see their height differences in 1/60th scale form. VF-1J = 12.68m RX-78-2 = 18m RX-0 = 19.7m (Unicorn Mode) / 21.7m (Destroy Mode) So their BarAttack toy and other old 70's/80's Mecha toys from this line that they make is not good as well? Thought they're well-known for this mecha line? Hmmm.

No one knows the exact date when it will be up but it's towards the end of this month as already been mentioned from the previous pages.

Hahaha! I just said that with a little bit of sarcasm on the side. Lol.

Hey Graham. Actually, the Gunpod is mounted on the Evolution's VF-2SS. My post from previous page in which I circled where the Gunpod is. Hope that helps. Here's another one with a different angle: I have a feeling that this will look PERFECT besides the VF-4G.

That's true. VF-1 is not complete without it. Congrats!
