I've transformed mine a full set since this morning and I'm scratching my head if I'm doing things right for each mode. I feel the hand transformation is horribly flawed. I thought at first pushing in the upper arm/elbow made the wrists pop out and I was wrong! I practically had to pry them out on first go with a hobby knife. The gunmetal chest pieces you flip down in battroid mode seem to get in the way while transforming back to either gets all or fighter. And I hate the big gaping on the sides and above, it's worse than a vf1! I've had the left wing pivot point pop off 5 times, and the wings don't sit flush in fighter mode, and the soft rubber head turrents are bending so I may have to replace them. I dunno I think I was hoping for a bit more like what I got with the yf29, or maybe I'm to spoiled.
-
AHA! I got it figured out. Man, that's hard stuff....toughest transformation I've ever had to do in many years.
-
I gotta say, fighter mode is the best. But I'd sure like to be able to put it back into that mode. I can't get the damn thing to close. I must be screwing up. but illustrations really don't cut it.

Well sadly today I was fiberglassing and it started to collapse even though I did the insides first. Very sad day
-
Indeed. Doesn't give the impression this is real. I about laughed at the aerial drone in the start. But I pissed myself laughing at the new ED-209. Can't wait to see what they came up with for Robocop......or I mean "RC-2000"......serious.....it doesn't sound cool unless you put 2000? Doesn't anyone know in hollywood, you put an X in there to make it official?

She's in the episode credits as guest star so yes Olivia Wilde did appear in the latest episode. At least we got some good back story.
-
Sigh......I need a new one.

Okay so I now have a bluray burner and plan to get a ripping program next month. so I'm just about ready. But something still bugs me, Robotechpodcaster still has my video. Any advice? While the video footage itself isn't mine, the audio is. I worked on it, my creation and certaintly my voice is being used without permission.

I got an email from NY if no ones posted about it. They WILL be doing preorders but wont say when and how much just yet.
-
I'm in, where do I sign up? I need a helmet for a project I'm working on.
-
What gave you that indication from a resin prototype? It's not even completed yet. I may email NY later since I don't check this thread to often if I miss the news

Hm yes. Decade probably made me feel a little better about the direction the Heisei era of riders has been handled lately. I loved Kuuga, and Agito, Faiz (horrible ending), Kabuto (though weak in the last dozen episodes) and Decade. I think if anything using "pretty boys" to relate to the younger crowd is almost insulting to the franchise. I need a Kamen Rider series that's dark, mysterious, full of drama and suspense. One moment you think an episode is going to go one way and it flips and goes somewhere else leaving your jaw shattered like glass on the floor. I haven't seen that in a long time.

Mines in LA as of yesterday. I'm guessing that it wont be here till probably Monday or Tuesday.
-
Let sentai be a kids show, I'd like to see Kamen Rider turn back into a teenager's show. A little drama, and mystery like in the past.
-
I'm still waiting on something dark and kick ass esque which hasn't happened in nearly 7 years.

I'm working on the review, so I will have some beautiful pictures today. still can't believe I forked over the money for it XD I remember years ago looking at it contemplating how long it'd take me to save up the money to do it. Nope, just sold a few items to do it. Man what a month this has been.
-
Yes! I found that sweet spot so it's not nice and secure in attack mode. The 01 and 02 ARMD numbers fit perfectly, I think I need to take the left leg apart a bit so I can get the city background on there. I mean wow I'm SUPER tempted to paint the city, I really am. But the paint will be so expensive to do right now. I am glad though I didn't buy the assembled kit....I'd of been so upset at all the screws I gotta deal with.
-
It came today. Hmmm a few quirks I need to play with. The cheat section is kind of floppy so the chest cavity seems to drop exposing the diecast. Not sure if there's a sweet spot for the locking mechanism or not. I also noticed something that a set of parts off the spures are marked incorrectly, and the screw is a joke for the bridge! I just glued the damn thing to the base. I added my 01 and 02 and god that made me wanna shed a tear this thing overall is brilliant. Just damn brilliant.
-
I worked on the 01 and 02 for the armd platforms today with some help from my sup. I managed to cut it as well and it looks about the right size I think, didn't have to do much changes. Sadly though can't do outlines so it's solid red. BUT should look damn awesome if it fits. K'mon Macross!
-
I wonder if I got any super glue still. I know I'm cool with my cement glue no big deal. I'll be working on the 01 and 02 today I got the ok to play with it at work cause it's a learning experience for me. I've been toying with the idea of painting macross city. HOWEVER, I don't feel confident enough to get it right. anyone interested in a commission job to do a paint job of the city for a nominal fee plus supplies? I'll take the leg apart and send the city so no one has to worry about screws or anything going missing.
-
Congrats. It'll be another week I think before I will see mine but I'm looking forward to it. I do t think I will order a second one.....unless I want to try to do a slight repaint to it, changing some of the stripe layouts and what not to fit my tastes of a personal Valkyrie. The weapons pack I think are a tad expensive for what you get IMO. But I don't even remember what I paid for my original packs on the old vf-25, wasn't much that's for damn sure! Ugh.....hurry and get here!!!!

Personal thanks to Boroboy for helping me out on the ARMD numbers. I got a notice that it's left San fransisco so it's 50/50 tomorrow afternoon or will most likely be Tuesday. That's so damn fast shipping. I reorganized a display area and the Macross will sit right on top of my self on it's lonesome. I'm not sure how she'll be displayed yet. Most likely Cruiser mode for a while. I always liked how that looked and was sad it had such a brief amount of screen time like "Well once we transform she can't go back to cruise mode eeeeeeeever again."

Mine was the same day, it didn't even state shipping till yesterday. IMO, Fedex is horrible when it comes to shipping and tracking, kind of like USPS. Last time I ordered from fedex was before christmas. I ordered 3 day delivery and it took 7 days. I asked Fedex what the matter was, snow storm, flooding, laziness? And the guy told me it was a manner involved with whoever I bought from that sent it out. I explained to him I found it unlikely as it shipped in s. Calil and was stuck in N. Cali so how was it the senders fault? I eventually emailed the company that shipped it and they said it was Fedex's fault not theres but I did get refunded by the company who I bought from. I talked to the Fedex guy who dropped off the package and he pretty much told me, to go fly a kite. Hmmm according to my tracking, in the upcoming future I have left Osaka. Can't wait till I catch up with the future When I ordered my YF-29, i swear it sat there for 3-5 days before it even got shipped. They did say most of their orders would go out on the 30th. So if you don't see anything by the end of tomorrow, I'd email them and ask what the deal is.

Ooooo I love the vf-11 for being the generic CF. I got the m7 variant and just love it to death. Not a single quirk on that sucker! Not to mention its so damn cheap!
-
For right now I've preordered the armor pack. But I'm sure I'll pay for it later to secure it.
