first, your old 1/48s now these stands... i'd like to be your garbage collector... on topic... so, the 1/60 Kai needs to roll up it's sleeve to do the gunpod-by-the-shoulder-pointing-up pose... typical of Basara... oh wait, he's just wearing a "sando"

are the elbows double-jointed?

Macross toys are cursed...

awesome transformation videos. i will just have to experience the VF-19 vicariously through these vids and pics in the meantime... ...and those 3 (YF-19 standalone and Fold booster standalone) were a part of HLJ's Macross/Yamato sales the past couple of years... so yeah, i'm crossing my fingers this'll be on sale sooner rather than later.

awww. i hope it's not too bad and fixable. this is why i display my VF-11B with the heatshield deployed even when in fighter mode. i just pretend it's entering the atmosphere or something. EDIT - is that piece whole or broken off? iirc that should be metal so it should be the whole bottom piece. you may have to open the whole cockpit section. for your sake, i hope the upper and lower parts are not glued together. good luck.

it looks like he's missing his d!ck and b@lls in that pic! cool "trick" anyways...

ditto. 19P's color scheme and (no face) head design definitely looks better... but i just have this urge to always get a show's main valk.

looks like the HK online stores have the 1/60 Angel Bird valk in-stock already. where's the VF-X?

guess you haven't seen this pic yet then... sorry, didn't get it... what fate would that be exactly? it'll sell out in a week and be re-issued a few months later?... or an unpainted kit version will come out later on?

i think you should email Yamato with that pic of your collection you recently posted and tell them that you've bought almost every damn Macross toy they've ever released starting with the 1/48s and that they do really owe you these 2 Destroids.

yep, looks okay between the two. but i suspect the joints might be extended at the knees and ankles (for GERWALK purposes) to make it a bit taller. any pics beside the M&M or Gamlin's VF-22S?

had to do a double-take... i thought you said "discontinued"... i'm w/ you there... doesn't have to be discounted like the 22s recently were, but I definitely want to pay less than the $250+ (w/ s/h) it's going for right now. gotta stop reading eugimon's posts...

that transformation sequence to battroid (esp. the cockpit part) is truly awesome!

just keep it in Fighter mode and pretend it's not broken... it's not your fault. the plastic on that is total crap. I myself have sworn off buying any more of Bandai's DX Macross stuff after discovering a cracked shoulder joint (the part where the hollow pin is inserted) on my DX Monster... there were no cracks when I first got it and I just transformed it once to its destroid/gerwalk mode and displayed it like that ever since. after the v.2 VF-1 and VF-25S cracked hinges episodes, i've grown tired of complaining and just display them in a mode where I can't see these cracked plastic parts.

man, don't say things like that...

i think this pic pretty much confirms it. don't really remove the intake covers on any of my Yamato valks anyway. can't recall, but was it ever shown in the show with the intake covers retracted?

"sugoi" indeed! hope there'll be a video soon for the transformation to battroid. and that pic of the Kai with the 11C looks okay, the chunkiness kinda makes up for the lack in height. i just thought it might look weird if anybody's planning to display the 1/60 Kai with the 1/60 M&M VF-22s in b-mode.

here's the size chart from M3 makes me wonder which 1/60 Yamato valk they'll use for reference for the VF-17's height in battroid.

that's coz you prefer the real Variable Fighter between the two. i wanna see a comparison pic in b-mode between the Kai and the VF-11C. the 11C is supposed to be around 2.5m shorter according to M3 site.

it's gonna look tiny beside the massive b-mode of the 21/22...

wtf? why is the Kai so much shorter than the YF-19 in b-mode? so, if we do get a v2 YF-19, it's gonna be that short?

oops. wrong thread. hehe hope this 1/60 VF-17D turns out well...

i'll probably pick this one up May 2012... ...when it goes on sale on HLJ.

you gotta lubricate it a little.

picked this up and the first one last weekend while in Tokyo. also got the VF-1 vol.2 and VF-19 Master File books and found a minty Macross Perfect Memory book and a Macross Plus Movie Edition book. my first venture into collecting Japanese language books... damn heavy books to lug around!
