Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

One big beautiful blue bird, isn't she, spanner76? Any plans on getting another one for Battroid mode? -
I believe Arcadia's YF-19 Battroid mode stands about 23.5-24cm to the tip of the head. Same height as the VF-19's from Yamato. I'm guessing that 1/48 VF-1's stands around 27-28cm. And 1/60 VF-1's around 22cm to the tip of the head. That's all 'guess-timate'. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

The secret is just assumed more so you're always prepared for the worst. And be glad if ever they charge you less after the transaction. In case you haven't tried this on the Buyee site. They have a link on getting Total Estimate on the upper part area where the Current Price is displayed. So it's somewhere between the My Page link and where the Current Price text is. In there you can put the total cost of the winning bid item. If you know or estimate the weight of the item, just type in the box. If you have no idea on the weight and it's already a released items, you can browse Hobbysearch, HLJ or Amiami and search for that item. Some sold out items is still in their database so you can check the item details and sometimes they include the item weight. Just add some for the packaging to get an idea on the total weight. Then check if the seller on the Buyee puts a shipping cost table. Remember this first shipping cost is for Japan only. This shipping cost range from 700-1000yen. I always put 1000yen to be safe. Then just put your country location and it will show you the total estimate. In there you will see also how much is the shipping cost internationally. They're just using EMS for international. Anyways, congrats on your Buyee purchase and have fun on your next bidding.

This looks cool. Does the yellow shoulder strips lights up too like in the movie? Or like glow-in-the-dark?
-
It's a risk. But you can still try and do that if you want.

True. But would you agree first that this is better proportioned looking than the current one? If they can pull off something like this without looking as fat as the 1/72 releases, then I'm good and happy. Last resort would be is, they can do a 'parts-former' releases. I don't mind swapping parts as long tat it will make the figure looks great and perfect. Make the thick legs optional added part. For a renewal $300+ releases, they can do this option and ignore added missles and stand if ever. (But I still want a Mighty Block stands, Arcadia. ) Besides, they might still go with the inclusion of the 'delimiter' mode, so there's still a way to swap legs and reattached the bottom bay doors to the optional legs and vice-versa. Assuming they will correct the exploding thigh thing so changing and rotating legs is not as fragile as the first one. It's a win-win for everybody. I agree. Since they changed something with the YF-19 releases, what's stopping them to do this (what I suggested) on the renewal YF-21? But... at the end of the day, all we can do is just wait if ever they're going to decide to do a renewal first. Arcadia, please just do this before my son turns 10, ok? He's 5, btw. So that's plenty of time to rethink.

Great displays everyone! *envy much*
-
I don't know if it's just me, but somehow the Ozma head is kinda look small for the body? Was it because of the laser turrets / antennae? Time to check my Isamu 29 once again if he has a small head too. Been in the fighter mode for awhile now.
-
I have a feeling that the only solution for this is buy a cheap Super Packs whether V.1 or V.2 and modify the wing slot on the boosters to fit it ok, if not perfectly, since the plastic is kinda lighter than resin so that it won't give any problems on the YF-19 wing and the metal swing bar. And wait if someone's going to work on the missle pod over Shapeways. I want to have this Frontier mode on my YF-19, but not too crazy to get the TREX version since the price is too steep.
-
These two for me. Only to realize that this one shows Hikaru's 1A instead of the 1S. Hehehe. Either or, both Hikaru's DYRL Valks looks the same except for the head but atleast it compliments Isamu's 19's head lasers on this photo.
-
Ok, I'm curious. I haven't experienced any problems yet on my Alto's 171Ex. But what this tiny things do? If ever that falls off and in case you lost it, would it fail to transform it back or something? From the looks of the plastic, is this some kind of locking tabs? Anyways, thanks in advance.
-
I can't say why they charged me more (like $40) but it's the v2 VF-1S with Super and Strike Parts. So maybe the added parts made my shipping cost a little more. Just guessing here on the why's.

Great find on the YF-21. In case you decided to transform it, be careful on the thigh. Don't put too much pressure. And make sure to check the inserted flyer for the leg guideline. -
For some weird reasons, I can't seem to find 5 VF-0A Bandits on both Archipelago and Desert maps for one of my Hunter Guild quest. Any ideas where the exact locations to find them? I'm on Chapter 4-2. Loving the game. It gets repetitive but it still addictive while upgrading and trying to find parts for the next high-end valkyrie.

I'm on iPhone 4S using Safari. I accidentally clicked the Full Version and there's no way of going back to mobile version. I read this thread only to find out that the only option is to reset or clear cookies. Once I did that, all my opened Safari tabs are closed. Now I can't remember what site am I browsing that time. Is there a way to set up from Full version to Mobile version without going to clear cookies resort? Also when the thread is long on the Mobile version, is there a way to put a 'Back to Top' link instead of swiping the page going back to top? Thanks and so far I'm loving the mobile version.

True. I love Hot Toys too for their craftmanship though recently their just capitalizing on their Marvel licensed products aka Iron Man 3. Before they finish releasing all the Marks variants... a new product from the recent Marvel movie will be announced. Ignoring again all the previous announced licensed products from different movies. (e.g. Batman Returns. announced like 2 years ago?) I guess they were enrolled at the Bandai's Dairy Farm. Specialty in Milking.

@s_i_t_h_l_o_r_d Nice! Does all the new valks always goes their centerpiece display treatment?
-
Just to play safe on their shipping cost. I always assumed or estimate all the Yamato releases around 2.5kg. Because I remember Mandarake charged me $40 something on previous VF-1's purchases. And when I checked the JP shipping price chart that's around the 2.5kg mark. Always prepare yourself paying extra for EMS if you really want to get items via Buyee.
-
I just thought that somehow it would look nice if it has a different head type that's more appropriate as a 'scout' unit. Anyways need to rewatch Macross Frontier once again. Hehehe.
-
Now that spanner mentioned the head, how come they didn't change the head unit to the appropriate 'scout' unit or kinda resembles the RVF with a bigger sensor and clear parts like Prophecy? Did they just used the default DX 171 head?
-
Btw, have to ask since you guys are starting to put your valks on a fish/nylon line. Do you guys put something in between the line and your valk? Like a small cloth or thin paper to the contact area? Or you guys just lay the valk directly to the line? Thanks.
-
I rehabbed it and it's the fighter on the way left Makes me wonder now if you put ID tags as well individually on your valks on who or where you bought your 171's. This is the only CFs I appreciate the most in all of the Macross series. They ALL look nice together... and intimidating too compared to VF-1A's and VF-25A's altogether.
-
After thinking about the new additional parts, there's really nothing you can add on to the YF-19 because of its design. It's not as same as the majority of the Valks that the wing area are always end up on the back in Battroid mode. Those are easy to put any option parts. But in the case of the 19's, it's very limited. It always ends up as an after-thought concept. Hehehe. That's why I love the YF19/21 as naked. But to be honest, seeing that YF-19 in Fighter mode with the VF-25 Boosters and missle pods always makes my day. Somehow it justifies the added Fast Pack as a whole. It will be more satisfying to me if they put on the Fold Boosters as well.
-
I agree. To be honest, I kinda like Alto's DX 171Ex more than his DX 25F. Well, except for that 'rubber shoes' looking feet.
-
Well, I only expressed my opinion for seeing that 500yen acrylic stand that was posted HERE, on the VF-0D thread. Whereas if they posted that stand announcement in a separate thread dedicated to the 'display stands' or thread dedicated to 'complaints for lack of stands', then for sure you will see my 'complaints' over there. Since it was posted here, I'm sure that it's just proper that I posted my opinion or 'complaints' as you put it, here too. Anyways, back to the REAL topic: Looking forward to the VF-0D esp seeing those cute little figures. I'm pretty sure this will be announced as a $300 toy, which I think will be their standard MSRP from now on and load us with missiles and display stand connectors once again.
