  1. cool! just one plastic blister pack... smaller box, yay!
  2. i kinda find it weird to start your M+ collection w/ a non-canon valk, but it could just be me. anyways, there was a recent re-issue of the YF-19 Isamu ver. that was released 1-2 months ago, before these repaints came out. mr. chogokin did a quick review on it... iirc it's on the same thread as what David posted. EDIT - page 20 i'm not entirely sure, but what Graham and ff95gj said about the repaints is basically what mr. chogokin said in his review on the re-issue. and based on their pics, all three still exhibit the same gaps in f-mode. hope this helps...
  3. depends on what it does in the movie...
  4. late as usual... just got my Armored VF-25S.... no biggie QC issues except for a couple tiny scratches where nobody can see 'em, thankfully no scratches on the head. wings don't bend upward too much, pretty much the same as my re-issue Alto. all i can say is... this is BAD A$$ w/ the armor on!
  5. probably a few more times... unless a new Macross forum comes up... btw, the samsung cam you pointed out gave him away...
  6. LOL... you and nugundamII should start a band... I've been Yamatoed, Stupid fartin' Yamato. I've been Yamatoed. F*** u Yamato! ...lalalalalala
  7. yeah, i really, really hate these exclusives too... but lately a lot more shops carry them and they're easier to get (just like the spade of MF stuff from Bandai). what sucks is that at MSRP they're already pretty expensive. add the fact that it's an exclusive/limited release, you'd most probably have to pay double the retail price if you live outside Japan. This limited GBP set will likely cost more than a 1/60 VF-1 w/ Super or Strike parts. i agree that the shaving cream doesn't look great, but i wouldn't mind if it came standard w/ a standalone GBP armor set, in fact it'd be cool. and yeah, some weathering will make the lines come out and it'll probably look better.
  8. DAMN *#$%@*&^%$#!!!! just as i had feared - Save's post in SCOOPDA thread - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=783056 pics from Save (from Scoopda thread).
  9. i meant "exclusive" as in like a web-shop thing or whatever... wow, Yamato just keeps coming up w/ ways to "milk"... i wonder w/c release will feature the t-rex valk add-ons??? sucks... i hope those are super-tight, virgin clown hands... i don't want it to be like my SOC Voltes' hands that can't keep his sword up...
  10. that's pretty cool! lookin' at those pics, the more i don't care about the updated gray head visor outline... still no mechanical fixed-pose hands? EDIT - i'm seeing on Yamato's site that this was put up same time as the weathered 1/48 1J.... so just to make sure, these GBP missile thingys aren't exclusive are they?
  11. close enough?
  12. free VT-1 = day off from work to do a review
  13. ...poor YF-21.
  14. VF1TF1 has the armored sorry, super alto for sale on his FS thread... HLJ has the armored one for USD82. sorry if O.T.
  15. oh, i forgot... you do have to wait an excruciating, gut-wrenching, agonizing 7 hours 'til shops open there. ...but i do hope your "crossing the street" will prove fruitful!
  16. they're in HK brah... it's the trend over there...
  17. no need to worry there... i bet ff95gj will be posting pics of the VT-1 in a little while ... go cross the street already, man!
  18. more likely 10/1 based on what happened to the VT-1...
  19. just checked Yamato's website... it says 9-1 for the VT-1, but 9 only for the VE-1.
  20. WHOA!!! when did this thread come up?!?!?! my contribution (an old pic)...
  21. wouldn't it be easier to remove the broken parts first from the hip/thigh before gluing them together? parts BD2 and BD3 on the Parts list pic...
  22. Alma looks better in fighter... it'll be really tempting if Bandai decides to make movie or whatever versions of these bundled armored VF-25s for the whole SMS Skull squad...
  23. i wanna see the valks and if they tampoed the kite under the cockpit and whatever else they should tampo on...
  24. well, that's why i hate these exclusives... the store gets these metallic VF100s for 4k Yen w/out their usual distributor/wholesale discount (w/c is commonly 50%), as a result they mark them up by ~100%...
