Scream Man

then underside, but i fixed it anyway. ok, im about...oh, half transformed, maybe 4/5. And I am sad to say I have 2 qc issues. 1) theres a small peg the clips the battroid together that folds out and clicks between the nose and the lower hip area of the fighter. hen i tried to push these together, the plate popped out, held on only by a screw. I cant seem to push it back in, though i can just take it home, unscrew it, and then redo it together. not a huge problem, but it wont just snap back the way it was, which worries me. 2) i have a MAJOR stress mark on the rightside hinge where the winghub meets the shoulder. Right there. behind that black clip part. when i first moved it the damn thing felt GLUED into place. When i get home and have some time, Ill work the joint carefully to loosen it; I have some movement already, and I think if careful Ill be ok. But it's definitely one to watch out for. ok, I finished transforming, and it IS a very pretty bird in battroid too. I too have the double right hinge, and now that I see it in person i probably can fix it if I need to, it doesnt look to complex. I love the SIZE of this thing, it feels very imposing. I do kinda like it, though the problems worry me...

...or for those of us who dont like the ghost...

ok, opened mine, though sine im at work I havent transformed it yet or anything. Its a nice lookin bird, though whoever suggested painting the white around the fans had a good idea; it certainlky stands out. i didnt realise how floppy it is; those of you who like to pretend barrel rolls will be in for some poor wing action; theydo flop around a bit upside down. Also; does the gunpod fire in fighter? Coz the barrel seems to be pointing towards the cokpit in mine...

It can be done, but it can be worrying. Personally, Im not that concerned about the wings, so I think Ill just pass on this. Thats just personal preferance on my part. Mine arrvied this morning! It is siotting beside me now begging to be opened!

the 19 FP is awesome. My fav Yamato Macross toy, and one of my favourite toys all round.

I dunno if i would get em, and Im a big action figure collector. mainly because they arent really cool figures ina way. I mean they're pilots; without soemthing to fly its justa guy ina suit. U could give em a pistoli spose, but...nah, the lil statue things are enough for me.

ive transformed mine countless times with no problems at all. those stress marks are very small and stay put, i think they'll be on all of em.

Polcheck 6 Better late than never, the newest Polcheck is online!

up to 8 now... more common than i thought, though specifics on most are still lacking.

ooooohhhh...... looks pretty cool. man we need some mac 7 toys to come out...

design prototype for the ghost boosters?

Not at the moment no. but the 0D isnt in SDFM, only in Mac0. That zero in the bottom right has an odd cockpit section as well... And i have no idea what plane is between the 2 0D's.

interesting that that zero is also missing the conformal fuel tanks...

Ok, see mine has that mark too. but i have transformed this thing close to 25 times now, and it hasnt changed. I think thats just siomewhere that gets that stress mark (Its the exact same on both my arms in the exact same spot). Im certainly not worried about it. So all you y'yes' voters, have you just been yessing these stress marks?

i doubt we'll see Noras before November....

More people jumping on the 'new vf-1 in 1/60' bandwagon is a good thing! Mayeb we'll get em after all! the VF-4 is ok. The fighter mode is sweet, but the battroid is so-so. id get one if it came out and was done well, but it will never be one i hunt for. Actually just watching Mac7 (i took a big break, but started gain recently) i wouldnt mind Jamming bird schemes for the VF-11, that looked sweet.

ugh... i got jury duty next week, starting monday. Hopefully I wont get selected so that I can be back at work to get my 51!

i cant believe they're not human!

Define 'new' graham? Do u mean brand new, never before seen in macross new? Kowamori made upa fighter and went "Here ya go Yamato" or just new designs based off designs we have seen before?

i like all toy pics.

dude, if they did that the valk would be HUGE!

Well said. I agree with Shin. He just said it better than me! As for the wing hinge, I'll decide when i get it what to do. If it's just that it doesnt fold an extra couple of mil, i might not worry about it to much. I THINK I understand what people are saying about the fix, but ill have to see it to be sure, and then decide if it's worth the hassle. I kinda like the look of it with the wings extended in Battroid anyway. As for expectations of quality...I had a oA break, and it pissed me off. I bought it through Neova, and it arrived with 2 shattered arms, broken tail and a cracked leg. I determined this was probably more than just a QC error, and got it swapped. The replacement has a crack in the shoulder, but it isn't to bad. All my other valks are fine. Every single one of em. So form my expereinece, Yamato QC is fine. i probably had 4 or 5 times as many Marvel Legends broken out of the box as i have had Yamatos break.

and now, 21 to 5. For those who had breaks, could u elaborate for us?

20 to 3 now...its gone up one on both sides.

Squidd, i'm sorry dude, but they're toys. Expensive hard to get toys yes. But toys none the less
