Yup, those parts look way better.

Thanks gang! I'm too lazy to change each one to each mode. Any valk on display is beautiful. At least you have a place to display them. Most of mine are in storage prison till I find a nice display case.

I think the Ghosts are Luca's regular Ghosts. I don't have a screen grab but at episode 24 around the 10:58 mark after Luca visits Nanase you can see the ghosts in the background. The only difference that I can see is the green lining looks black to me but could be due to low image quality. Also, the ghosts on the front cover of the instructions manual also have the green lining although it's really faint and hard to see although the Ghost on the top of the page has a slightly different looking antenna(black part goes all the way to the red tip). I hope I'm wrong and they do issue a set though.

Whoa! That would drive me nuts! VF-171 Variants

I'm just using the gerwalk adapter that comes with it. It's shorter in length than the fighter adapter. It attaches from the front like that.

I think it'll look awesome in that color. Maybe Bandai will take a cue from your set and issue a super parts/ghost set in that colors. GERWALK pics: I think MJ's super parts look way better on this one:

Those are the wingmen with the idols paintjob?

The DX adapter is pretty tight fitting. Personally, I don't think it's needed.

No problem, been wondering if it could do that so I just posted some pics. It's front heavy, but not so much that it'll come off the stands. The Bandai DX adapter is pretty snug for the YS so I won't even bother worrying. The Generic Bandai stand will also hold it but it has a little droop from the weight and if you bump it, it'll shake side to side but not come off the stand to adapter part. Also, if you hold the valk and pull up it detaches off the stand instantly ( I can cup the valk and lift it up to take it off) whereas the DX adapter is in tight.

Just in case anyone's wondering. It's front heavy like this but is still secure on my valk: DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK! (the antenna has little spikes that look fragile). No walkers. On the Yetistand. Just gotta get rid of the bulky front part of the bracket:

Pretty good! That's a lot of patience!

One day it'll get strong enough to lift up our valks (Currently 12oz.) and have a smaller attachment.

The same thing happened to the bottom fin on mine.

Would it still be possible to sign me up? I would rather support a member who put a lot of time and effort into the project.

I wonder if this will affect Bluefin Distribution or is Tamashii Nations a separate line?

I believe the ones he was talking about had a more heavier base and black tips. The newer ones had instances of the base cracking due to tightening of the screws. edit: Sorry about that. They touched on it on page 2, first post.

I like these stands because of the storage compartment and price. I like the Yeti because of the versatility in the poses. Each got there place in my house. I got a mix 4 of these types (if you count the Yamato versions) and 3 Yeti's but I have them all out in the open (no display case yet) so I can't comment on footprint in displays. If you like just the basic poses, and wanna get some of your valks off the ground and in the air, keep all the extras together, and got room, this is a good one to get. Can't beat the price. Someone mentioned Mighty Block stands. How was the Mighty block stands? Looks like you could connect a couple together to make a bigger base. But it also looks like the base might be a little small for bigger valks though. .

Too bad Mike's ending his kit production. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37927&page=5

Bummers. Wish I could build models. I would get one of these in a heartbeat. Thank you for all your hard work. Looks like I'm gonna have to live with the soft vinyl one being made in that thread.

Agreed. Just looking at the pics of it in the display is also confusing. Post #185 on page 6 here. 2 pics, same monsters in display , two different colors. I like the bottom darker color more. Hopefully more people take pics of it in the display. Comparison pics for lazy peeps like me. Sorry for the large pics. Wings version : SP version:

Interesting to see how this one turns out. Speaking of scaled Monsters, I wish bry had a finished pic of his project.

Mommar has a screen grab of the ghost on the previous page.
