And the last set... Looking at Solscuds, we have a few that are the same. Very nice collection you got there. This is a good thread. Nice stuff.

And some more...

OK, here's mine. I didn't put all of them in here, just the ones that were easily accessible. I've got about a dozen other ones put away somewhere, but anyways, the first one isn't full size, but thought it was pretty cool. Enjoy

I got this at the bookstore. It's alright. It is a lot like the Macross F official file #1 & 2. What really stood out was that Yaoi cover...ugh!!!

If there is a socal party, count me in on it. Just need a date, time, and place, and I'll be there to party.

Welcome again to the boards. It's a great thing, having a wife that enjoys these hobbies too. My wife has quite a collection herself, and put together, we've got a room that cannot hold anymore toys. Count your blessings, and hope to see you around the forums more. Oh, and as for the Queadluun-Rau posing/standing issue,,, I haven't had any issues w/ mine, and I have one of the original ones, not the reissue. It is a bit top heavy, but stands ok.

Dude, that's pretty damn tight. I like the work. How did you get the decal of the skull?

you know, just the fact that they would (could) make a 1/60 Valkyrie that is far from the expected, I'd probably buy 2. Man, that would be one great day to see a 1/60 VF-4 under development. Hopefully if they finish off the Macross Plus Valks, they can get onto the odd Valks, like the VF-4, VF-9, VF-5000, and my favorite, the VA or VB-6.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there also a ton of other Macross stuff coming out right about that same time? It could've also been the fact that there were just too many Macross toys to choose from, and another 1A just didn't make enough people's list. I would get one if they make a 1/60, but I'm passing on the 1/48s. The 2 I have are more than enough for me.

In regards to the cratched tampo printing, I was thinking...Since these are made by bandai, I have a Gundam marker set with black and red pens in it. What are the odds that these will be a decent color match? The Gundam white pen worked perfectly for the sratches I had on my MPC Beta, so perhaps these will match, especially since the VF-25 is a Bandai product as well.

I finally got my Alto and Ozuma yesterday and transformed both of them a couple times. To my surprise (as it's been said already), the neck on Ozuma's isn't too bad. It looks like the original photographers had no idea how to pose it right. Mine seems to have a neck. Although still not as prominent as the Alto, it's there. For Alto's I only have a little black missing on a minor side of tampo printing. It's not bad, and you can't really see it. I'm much more happier with the presentation of it than I thought I'd be.

Well, I go to the post office tomorrow to pick up my VF-25s. I'm not all that confident on the glossy look, or the hands, or the short Ozuma neck, or the paint chipping, but I guess we're just at the point where it is what it is, and that's it. I don't foresee Yamato getting these ever, so unless Bandai decides to redo these at a later time, this may be all we're getting. I have yet to put my final judgement on these, but I'll post my thoughts tomorrow.

I have quite a few full sized posters, and will eventually put pics up. I also have some that I'm not sure about the originality of them. Anyways, I'll do this over the weekend. It's a decent collection.

Putting the Macross issue aside, that is just a stupid law. Think of all the store owners that have thrift shops that sell used children's stuff. Damn, what about my old original Star Wars toys... I can't sell those??? Screw that. This law is just absolutely stupid, and with no explanation to the public, how can they push something with no explanation. It seems like big government dictating to the people what they can, can't purchase. No longer can an adult buy certain things without government saying yes or no? It's a bad move. Next, they'll be telling us we can only buy certain cars, and certain foods, and anything else must go through one of their programs to get permission. What a joke.

I don't know, I have the all first editions of all those, and they are all just fine on mine. While I don't negate the fact that there are/have been issues, I don't think everyone has an issue with the ver.2 Valks. I will say this re: the ver.2 Valks, they don't seem to have the problems that they originally had. My 1A and 1J seem to be alright, with no stress marks on any shoulder hinges (knock on wood, of course). BTW, I just placed my preorder for the 1D, absolutely awesome.

A definite THANKS is in order. The early modders are always the pioneers. When I get mine, I too, will attempt to explore options on making this thing look more "correct". Now, we have a better location of where to fix this thing. Alas, I probably won't get mine for another week or so.

I hhave to agree, a VA-3 would be very cool...It's just so obscure looking, that it almost makes it too cool not to make. I have that mag w/ the VF-27 and the other 1/72 builds, and they are really nice. It's definitely a mecha porn mag. Just too many cool works in that one particular issue.

Man, I'm still waiting on mine to ship from Overdrive. Anybody know if they're shipping theirs out soon?

Where's the link for the download of the DVD version? Perhaps I'll have some luck.

Damn, whoever gets to go to this, please cover it with lots of pics. I don't get a two week vacation till after march. On a side note, why don't we do somthing here in the states??? Now, that would be something.

For me, poll 1=ok, 2=all, 3=boobs are cool for motor boating, but option two is where it's at. Make no mistake about it.

Ha, in that review, the two things that stand out...1) They didn't criticize the fact that that big ass cockpit is an eyesore in battloid. I think the CMs Tread looks absolutely amazing in battroid, but the Toynami one kinda just sits there. It's very anime-inaccurate, but it's not the end all deal breaker. The 2)He said Barry White before playing the music, and that was Marvin Gaye, that is unforgivable!!!

Those launch arms, strike pack, and rocket booster are awesome. Chillyche, is he working with you on your project? That's some great stuff.

I'll be there tonight around 10:30. If you park at Weiland's parking is $6 I think. Hopefully we can get a good group together tonight. See you guys there.

If we all want to meet up, let's meet at Weiland's Brewery, 400 E Los Angeles, L.A., CA. It's almost right across fromt he Japanese museum in little Tokyo. If that's cool, let's meet there.
