    Since my Legioss now has a complete pair of intake covers I decided to transform it for the first time. Got a little scary with the tight shoulders and that crotch rotating plastic thingy. Thanks to jenius for the transformation video.

    Sometimes persistence pays off. Looked for another way to contact Sentinel and they sent me a replacement for my missing intake cover. Now my green Legioss is complete/perfect! 🙂

    I meant that Sentinel had that red paint all along. And they have the red plastic they used for the Zeta… and still. Someone at Sentinel with a lot of pull must have really wanted a pink/magenta ride armor. I also agree that it’s a miracle we have these at all. I do envy your guts and skill to be able to paint Houquet. Looks good 👏

    the red of the tip of her gun would’ve been perfect.

    Good times indeed. I miss those days when Macross toys were reasonably priced and you could wait for it to be released, watch/read a review, see if it’s a solid release w/out issues and then decide to get it or not. But if you read the posts from back then, we always still found something to complain about 🤣. Sometimes you truly can’t know how much of a good thing you have until it’s gone.

    Yeah, they look very nice indeed. My favorite is the 02 because of all the accessories and the color. I did find something wrong on the Unit 00, well not on the eva itself… I’ll wait until you get yours and see if you’ll notice. The 2 youtube reviews I watched totally missed it. 🤪

    Perfectly sized Evas for my collection… and thank goodness it’s not from Bandai. I think I’m gonna rewatch the movies now.

    Slowly getting back to collecting while playing catch-up after a long hiatus. I’m really glad for these new toy companies. I finally have an Eva collection all without having to go through Bandai.

    Thanks No3ljm. I think it was on the same dates as ToyConPH but it was not at the main venue, some other SM Mall near us. Haven’t been to that mall in ages and was just gonna buy some home stuff and there it was, an MISB Riobot Legioss Zeta on the bottom shelf no one was paying any attention to. Everyone was busy ogling at the DX Voltes V and Carbotix Voltron. I was literally cradling it in my arms all while chatting up the owner for around 30 minutes before paying for it 😂🤣.

    Got a sweet deal from a local fellow collector on the Green Legioss. Brand new but with a very minor qc issue… missing one of the intake covers… which is why I ended up paying only $130 for this 😃Good thing I prefer displaying in fighter mode. Tried emailing Sentinel for a replacement but they only cater to Japan residents. Now my display is perfectly symmetrical. Can’t believe it’s been more than a decade since I’ve wanted to have a dedicated display shelf just for Mospeada stuff. Started with the Megahouse VRs and then the Toynami Cyclones… sold those off to fund these Riobot figures. I’ve been lucky with getting these… didn’t preorder anything and the most I paid for is $180 for Yellow/Lancer. The Zeta I just happened upon a small, local ToyCon while at the mall… chatted up the collector selling his stuff… bonded over 80’s stuff (Macross/Robotech, Voltes V, Transformers, Dragon ball…) and got a pretty good discount 😁. Plastic bliss…

    Just got this in. 😁 Can’t wait to set it up in my display cab.
  12. m0n5t3r
    Somebody here mentioned something about looking at her face from the bottom… but I discovered that if the lighting comes from below, she loses the silly smile (upward curve on the sides of her mouth)… gives her kind of a scowling look. She’s actually growing on me the more I see her on display. But if someone successfully makes an accurate headsculpt, i hope they make it available for everyone who has a Houquet. 😊

    It’s been ages… but I just wanted join in on the sentiment about how gratifying it is to finally have a complete set of ride armors on display despite all its shortcomings.
  14. m0n5t3r
    I like the look of the black heatshield and black option parts.
  15. m0n5t3r
    Certainly didn't want to talk about nor see pics of creepy dolls!!!
  16. m0n5t3r
    I agree... What the hell else would people here on the toy forum be talking about between toy releases!??!
  17. m0n5t3r
    Personally, i don't like using that GERWALK joint for battroid static/standing poses... and i hate how it makes the thigh look like it's broken or something. (Sorry for posting old pics... Sadly, i won't have anything new until this comes out )
  18. m0n5t3r
    Now that's a proper low vis... Yamato really should've gone with something like this for the VF-1S low vis.
  19. m0n5t3r
    It has been mentioned several times here and on other VF-1 threads that Arcadia will be releasing the Super Strike parts... so better start saving up... No definite info on price yet. I'm pretty sure it'll include option parts but i'm curious to see whether or not they'll include the stand.
  20. m0n5t3r
    I'd be interested in a VF-1A Hikaru by Arcadia too since this was never reissued by Yamato with any of the fixes or updates to the v.2... that and i have an extra set of SSPs lying around here somewhere that i could put on it.
  21. m0n5t3r
    Lol... I was thinking the same thing coz i misread "closest" as "coolest"... that one is definitely a cooler pose for the old 19.
  22. m0n5t3r
    Guess i'm not one of those members... I was only looking to get back what I paid for it and not lose any money. I had it displayed since i bought it and enjoyed it while it was part of my collection... I was just paranoid it would start yellowing soon coz of how white it was and save myself the same disappointment i felt when my 1/48 VF-1J (my first ever valk) started yellowing last year. I guess that's another issue with the 1/48s... older product - older plastic - more prone to yellowing.
  23. m0n5t3r
    Personally, i would sit tight and see what happens after Arcadia releases their initial VF-1 offerings... unless it's a very, very good deal and you don't mind not getting the option parts. Btw, i just sold that same valk (displayed, never transformed) for $120... so, $150 may be a tad much, imo... Just when the Yamato panic started i was still able to get a Hikaru 1S 30th Anniv. Ed. for $125. The new Arcadia DYRL VF-1S is going for 14,400JPY at amiami, roughly $150 (w/out shipping) and it comes with the option parts and a stand. As for the Super/Strike parts, those are technically for DYRL VF-1s... You will need the TV ver. Super Parts for the TV Focker. It will obviously fit on the valk, but if you're anal about these things, it might bother you some.

    I remember seeing a couple of pics with some broken diecast parts and a couple of members with missing fins... But yeah, nothing to panic about.@kyrie - protip: you can generally be patient getting Yamato/Arcadia regular releases but if it's a web exclusive and you decide you really want it, better preorder it coz its price is only going to go up. Can't decide if i want this YF-19 to be a web exclusive or regular release... I think Isamu's ride is popular enough for Arcadia to decide for it to be a regular release.
  25. m0n5t3r
    Can't decide if i'll get this or wait for a TV Roy... Only Roy i have left is my worn down DYRL 1S after I recently sold my TV ver. coz of paranoia over it yellowing... It's just too damn white!
