no cracks here... but detaching the locking mechanism of the top 4xcannons nearly gave me a heart attack. i felt like i would break something trying to pull it out.

thanks 505th! ...here's my DX Monster hanging out in my other display cab...

iirc, that's the head-to-head testing part where the 19 also featured that arm weapon pack thingy...

it's mostly just the batch of Armored VF-25S that has problems w/ breaking plastic joints... the joints that connect the chest to the shoulder and to the back plate, and the joints for the wings. and yeah, the DX 25s are only really good for display... near to zero playability and very high possibility of aggravation when transforming/handling them. good thing for me i don't get to handle my toys much these days...

OT - than GFFN Rezel looks nice... still pissed I wasn't able to find one during my last trip to HK. would look great w/ my shcmpro Unicorn. i'm still waiting for hlj to put theirs on sale... on-topic... i wish i could afford these, esp. at these ridiculously cheap prices... but i just can't squeeze it in my budget right now w/ all the stuff i just bought and all the new stuff that's coming out... plus, i'm one of those guys who just has to buy both M&Ms at the same time... for now i just have to be content w/ my YF-21 and M&M VF-1s...

got a new, cheap, bookshelf-style display cab so i can display all my stuff... finally took my VF-27 permanently out of its box and transformed it. also, just got my DX Monster w/c is awesome! not sure now where to put MH Klan when it arrives ...

just some quick pics before i head out... really loving this... i'll put in the eye stickers later... on display with my other MF stuff...

i'll take pics of my small MacF display (with the newest addition ) tomorrow morning. pretty dark already here... just echoing what others have mentioned... awesome heft, awesome clickety joints, awesome mechanisms all over, and i love how that little gun turret pops out from under the nose ... pretty much awesome all around! btw, gotta thank ff95gj for pointing me in the right direction... got mine from locus hk... awesome packaging.

HOT DAMN! Thanks for the pic of that little Bandai fighter mode valky thingy! Can you post more pics of the other Bandai 1/250 valks (preferably with the same background... just different angles)?

just got mine ... opted for just the regular ver.... not really into nose art and all that... plus, after re-watching Frontier last week, out of the two songstresses, i'm now kinda leaning towards Ranka coz i prefer Megumi's voice (add the fact that she's half Filipina )... but my vote for hottest MF gal still goes to macro-Klan, w/c is making me excited to receive my MH Armored Klan... and ep.17 is making me crave for some Mac7 valks... hope you get yours soon!

jealous indeed! how i wish i was at least Graham's next door neighbor right now!

haha! i'm guessing you got the Miria 22S coz it's now on backorder... but now there's 3 x Max's VF-22S available!

speaking of Yamato's VF-22S... they've been on sale, 50% off, from Amiami for the past week... unfortunately there's only one left for Miria's and Gamlin's and Max's are on backorder... still, that's pretty cheap.

a doucheb@g

if you want to open only one then obviously it would be the one with the banged-up box. it's not really MISB... more like MISBB but yeah, i'd personally open them both up and have them on display... it's not like the YF-21 is some uber exclusive item... Yamato is still making these and almost everybody who would want to have a 1/60 YF-21 already has one... unless you really prefer to admire it from inside its box... or if you have no place to display it...

i'll be perfectly happy if that next VF that Graham is alluding to will be the VF-17, specifically the D variant. as for after that... between the other 2, i'm now leaning more towards the VF-2SS than the VF-4. i would've really wanted a VF-0D, but that dream has been summarily shot down...

IMO, it would be cool. I was one of the guys who mentioned this even before the first proto pics came out. A macross toy with music, which is an integral part of Macross lore, would be awesome. I also think that Yamato would definitely be able to pull this off without it becoming tasteless like Hasbro's voice gimmicks on their TFs.

that would make this a sure buy for me!

that GERWALK VF-0D looks awesome! great work!

cool 22S customs! i like!

whoahoa! ruskii bit... thought your last reply meant you bit on the amiami offer... awesome powers of patience! congrats on the purchase. i just saw the movie last week and that credit card bundled w/ the SP ver. seems kinda cool now that i know it was shown in the movie and was used to buy off Ozma and SMS's service... i'm still waiting to get my reg. version Monster... just one more week and i'll have it in my hands! can't wait! edit - i'm currently re-watching MF TV and it's only now that i noticed that the Koenig did have them eye decals. all this time i thought it only had the shark mouth...

whoa!?! even cheaper than the reg. version... very tempting...

don't know about me being violated, but i would certainly violate that! a lot of pics of Klan is good!

that's actually not that bad. but if it came down to just buying one, given the DYRL SDF-1 and TV repaint were the only 2 options, i would definitely just go with the anime accurate one. my ocd would drive me crazy with the TV repaint.

can somebody photoshop that DYRL SDF-1 w/ TV colors w/ Daedalus and Prometheus arms and post it here? cruiser and attack modes...
