  1. that's why i prefer ratchet joints... just let the buyers know the max number of detents a certain ratchet joint has... esp. when every other recent valk Yamato has made has 4-5 detents for the thigh joint and then limit the VF-19's to only 3 detents.
  2. i don't mind the ball joint ankles if only they put some meat on those skinny ankles... as it is now, it looks like the chunky lower leg of the VF-19 is connected to its foot by just bone. if they can include those fillers for the back of the thighs maybe they can include something for those ankles.
  3. nah... i say keep em coming. complaining, overly scrutinizing and panicking is the Macross World way.
  4. i thought i had seen the last of that picture! yeah, ff95gj is right... get em both... get one now and get the other one later... and another one later... and another one later... and another one later... so you can display 'em like this: and do this:
  5. that kit's proportions reminded me of this pic: i wish someone would make a bigger scale toy with at least half of the details and panel lines that wave kit has.
  6. after seeing that, people might start complaining that Yamato valks don't have curved up wings.
  7. more MP-10 http://higekumatoytoy.blog60.fc2.com/blog-entry-1262.html http://higekumatoytoy.blog60.fc2.com/blog-entry-1266.html http://higekumatoytoy.blog60.fc2.com/blog-entry-1263.html i didn't know roller was the one responsible for the trailer when Prime transforms. i'm not digging MP-10's eyes.
  8. i disagree. it's the only valk that i'm confident of manhandling without fear of breaking anything... (of course i'm talking about the newer ones without the shoulder issue and with the new crotch).
  9. i wouldn't ever want to wish anything bad on anyone BUT... if Graham didn't get cracked shoulder hinges on his GBP VF-1J, we would never have gotten those replacement parts that Yamato gave him. I wish there would be someone on this board that is connected with Bandai since i also have a couple of their products that have cracked plastic parts that are very similar to the cracked shoulder hinges of the early v.2 VF-1s... but i think they really just don't care anymore coz they even discontinued their one-time replacement part request policy sometime ago (w/c i was able to utilize of a SHCMPro that i have). my YF-19 is fine since its an "old box" reissue with fixed gunpod and rear landing gears.
  10. i have a 1/48 1J and 1/60 v.2 Focker that i transform constantly. all my other 1/60 v.2s i transformed once or twice and just display them in the mode that i like, i.e. Max TV 1A in battroid since its bad-ass in that mode and fighter-mode looks bland. My VF-1D i transform occasionally since I love all three modes (very nostalgic valk for me... I would buy another one if it is ever reissued). VF-X and VE-1 - never transformed since i only like em in fighter mode... VT-1 - up to half-GERWALK transformation only, just like in the movie. as for the Mac+ valks, i hate transforming the YF-21 and i absolutely love the easy transformation of the VF-11B.
  11. ditto... i hope this doesn't mean that the armor will become an exclusive. will wait for 25S bundled with armor... that's what you say now...
  12. Renato should have something to say about this topic...
  13. i guess the main reason why I (and probably others too) keep my YF-21 in fighter mode is that I just can't stand how skinny the legs and small the feet are when displayed next to another 1/60 VF, like the YF-19. Displayed on its own or beside another 21 or VF-22S, its tolerable... and in GERWALK it looks okay. Plus i loath transforming the the damn thing and getting those legs to line up properly in fighter mode... which is why I have the GN-U YF-21. if there ever will be a v.3 YF-19, i would definitely buy one... the v.2's gullet does bother me a little. I'll be keeping the v.3 in fighter mode beside the YF-21, since it will most probably look best in that mode sans the gaps that the v.2 has. I'll keep the old one in battroid mode since I actually like how tall it is.
  14. there are eight of us!?! @ OP - hope you get to settle you problem with AE... get your money back at least.
  15. hope... the G-man can convince Yamato to make this and that there is enough demand to justify a mass produced toy version.
  16. nobody's wondering why this is in the models section? crap, if Yamato makes this and goes the HDP route...
  17. bet the VF-1J will be sold out the fastest and the VF-1S will have a lot of stocks left over. man, i wish i had even just a smidge of painting talent. if they were able to mould the optional parts in grey, why not the whole valk... wasn't there a non-painted built one sold a year ago?
  18. people don't just think it, it actually does suck... it's not a figment of anybody's imagination. heck, even the speculators and hoarders will admit and say - "heh, it sucks for you, but you have no choice but to get it from me now at the price that i dictate..."
  19. i hate speculators.... and hoarders... and when toy companies enable these speculators and hoarders.
  20. slow day... was browsing my pics folder... here's a couple i haven't posted here and some old favorites.
  21. ahh... i've been eyeing the one at Festi for quite awhile... hehe. mind PMing me the price Malvs gave it to you for? you might change your mind about the sound boosters once you successfully sell off your other "stuff"...
  22. congrats on the purchase bro... did you get the one at GT Festi? i'm still playing the waiting game myself... ...wating for the 19P.
