just get the new one... i read here somewhere somebody ordered parts and the colors didn't match... and the new one is tighter all around...

... do i sense some bitterness???

another thing about keeping something MISB... i'm guessing it comes from people wanting to have something they feel is "perfect"/untouched, but with all the defective stuff (from diff toy makers) we keep hearing about, how can one be sure that their's is not defective, esp. if it comes in a box w/o a window display??? ...my wife doesn't really mind me buying these toys as long as i don't go "shopaholic crazy" or impulsive and pay the bills first... EDIT - the 3rd group should be renamed - "Collectors who want their toys and eat it too..."

didn't really care when kaki died and i wouldn't have cared if they had killed off luca too... F and G for me, coz they're Fukcn' Great...

ooh, i've done that before too... couldn't wait to get home... even had the valk on my lap ( not the first thing i've had on my lap... ) while driving...

i'm w/ these guys... what's the point if you won't have even a li'l bit of fun w/ them... that's pretty much the definition of "toy"... and most of the people who can appreciate your collection (at least for Macross stuff) are on these boards and they will never actually see your collection in person, only in the pics you'll post... and it's not really that fun to post pics of boxes... i also find it more enjoyable if it's transformable... it's been a while since i've handled my revo or gnu valks coz i find it more enjoyable if it transforms aside from being posable... i also have a couple that i "abuse" but most are in a glass display cab w/c i gawk at... but i do change their poses from time to time whenever i feel like it... i say invest in a nice display cab or shelves... to help keep you sane!

just watched ep2... awesome... this is gonna be a fun series to watch...

those are some damn BIG planes you got there to the right! awesome collection!

thanks for that... gonna watch it later...

decided to bust out the old 1J (w/ new 1/60 fix-posed hands) and join in on the 1/48 action...

i hope you are too, man... so you won't quit this hobby , what would we do w/out your valk mecha p0rn ... 75/25 na ba pre?!?! saya saya, parang bata ulit... mas high tech at mas mahal lang! lol

wow, this thread is ALIVE!!! great pics as always, swoosh! those prone position sniping poses are awesome! love this poster shot!

nobody else modded the pin to prevent the hinge from cracking all the way though... ha... i also think the sloped part of the hinge contributes to the problem... less plastic, less area to take the stress... also noticed that there are supposed to be detents for the wings but it doesn't work coz they didn't make it too well...

sweet! what size are these???

just watched ep22... that's some screwed up time traveling...

this one really looks good man...

really diggin' that a$$ on your avatar... ... great drawing skills...

kidding... i think it's just harder to resist the temptation (if it were me) there in hk where everything is easily accessible and cheaper + no shipping and tax... if a store who sells Yamatos there will bring in those helmets, it'll probably cost a li'l below $400... as for the SDF-1, i'm still on the fence myself coz of the probable price tag... doesn't really matter to me if it's DYRL or TV ver.

yeah me too... plan to get the re-issue F and the G in a couple of months... particularly interested in how many have the groin connector problem, as i will probably display them in b-mode most of the time... thanks...

but i remember Graham saying that Yamato will not be making a 1/60 VF-4... not sure but i think it was in the VF100's thread... maybe the 1/200 is all we're going to get...

that's what you say now... ...i do have to admit that these look uber cool... if i were really really impulsive, i would probably find the $$$ to get one of these... it would also probably fit my head, but the thing is, for a display piece i'd rather get the 1/2000 SDF-1 since it transforms and the helmet obviously doesn't (doh!)... i also don't have a bike or whatever the hell it is you would need a helmet for... i could probably wear it while browsing through MW, lol ...

i like the blue one... unfortunately i cannot afford an effin' $400++ display piece that i will never ever wear...

Holy week holiday here in the PI and nothing to do... tiptoe pose... powering up... who da hell do you think i am!?!
