or maybe "i'll put my fist up your a$$!"-Bandai

anybody care to translate what's on the cover?

that's the crotch part of the SDF-1 you put there right? if so, it would have to be more than just "a few km" away for the horizon to cut it there from that view... anyways, no biggie, i'm sure that that pic was just meant to poke some fun on the legions of gundam fans out there.

the new re-arranged set-up w/ the Action Base stands look good... haven't gotten the new cab you were planning to get? Kaki TV 1A looks good.... 'grats! you finally have your Vermilion Squad... i was actually having second thoughts about getting a Kaki 1A for myself when i got yours... now you've inspired me to take a pic of my 1/60 VF-1's as well...

i saw this pic posted on toysdaily and put a smile on my face.

but if you could wait a little longer, you could hold off for re-issues that will have the not so new and improved crotch attachment mechanism. so far only the VE-1 and VT-1 have been shown to have this. EDIT - added link - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=30292 but i think you're too itchy to get a new valk to get over your v.1 1/60.

just get the ones after the VF-1D and you're fine...

cool! post some more pics of your collection... where's the Vermilion squad?! yeah, share the knowledge, man. ...will i need to buy a tablet for this lesson?

wow! you've got 3 x YF-21s and your own personal airstrip!!! new challenger wins!.... but seriously, awesome job on that pic.

thanks. well, it's supposed to be an artsy-fartsy silhouette shot ... or we could do Cent's suggestion and take a pic of the valk on a bed or something, magic wand it and then slap it on a background pic of the sky/space or something.

to be totally honest, i actually followed eugimon's advise and used the super fast shutter speed setting... i was just joshing around about 'shopping it...

lol... don't group me yet w/ those guys... i don't have enough dough to get the kind of gear they're sporting... maybe in a couple of years i'll think about getting a dandy DSLR, when i'm sure i can pay for my kids' schooling... i'm w/ you on this...

i'm not really any good at photoshopping, but here's a try...

trying out a silhouette shot...

its worth is all up to you... depends on how much you appreciate it being a part of your collection. different people have different tastes after all. however, some food for thought... the cheapest ver.2 VF-1 w/ SSP i found on sale was a VF-1A Hikaru w/ SSP for only 80-85 USD (of course it has the shoulder issue). and the cheapest ver.1 w/ SSP i last saw a couple of months ago was selling for 50-60 USD. it's still your call in the end... as long as you're happy and contented w/ your purchase, that's all that matters.

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!

better = helluva lot more expensive = less/no valkyries

thanks... oh master of lighting ... but seriously, i really appreciate the comments. i actually forgot to flip the blinds for the Shin only shot to get that harsh sunlight effect .

well, it's a 2nd hand 5D for less than half the original price after all...

thanks guys! it stopped raining by the time i took it. playing around some more...

some new collection pics... Mac0 Mac+

you catch up pretty quick, man! and in bunches too!!! thanks, vegas! don't worry, i bet you're gonna catch up eventually after you recover from getting you new and envy-worthy cam...
