the hands for me is indeed one of the most noticable and most welcome improvement. hate the middle to pinky configuration of the old chicken hands. agreed, the more humanoid proportions of the v.2 VF-1 is definitely nicer, better... (VF-0S looks like a WWE wrestler compared to the VF-1)

... good luck Isamu ... hope you land in one piece

yeah love Voltes too (although pissed with the hands that can't hold up his sword properly )... gotta get the re-color GX-31V past the wife somehow

Thanks guys. had the max revo for quite some time and i just gotta have miria too, 1/60 v.2 m&m soon. cockpit was pure luck... well, i'm on a strict toy collecting budget by the wifey so i get only what i really want to keep. bought some stuff before on impulse that i realized i didn't want as soon as i got home, i sold them at a small loss... wifey not happy . Ultra Magnus armor is the bomb!

i see you're on you way back to the PH. i would recommend that you at least put it in a "balikbayan" box. that's what i did with my hauls from hk... not a dent on any of the boxes. but if you don't really care for the box/packaging i think that the contents might survive being checked-in as long as you have it marked FRAGILE. but there's still a risk since you don't really have any control over what happens to it once it rolls out of your sight on the conveyor belt. get a small balikbayan box, you won't regret it.

it's working now. Thanks!

just wanted to share my "relatively newbie"/small but growing collection. the space behind the revos is for the much anticipated Hikky VF-1S and VF-1D . Still trying to figure out where to put the up'n'coming v.2 VF-0S .

the supposed "updated" VF-0S isn't even out yet... it might be safer to wait for somebody from JP or HK to review it first... nobody really knows how much "updating" was really done... and it's not an exclusive and Yamato usually re-issues their stuff. there's no harm in waiting.

uploading is working when adding a pic to a post... but it's not working when uploading pics to the Invision Gallery, even when i tried to create a new Album. maybe the new uploading protocol is not connected to the old Gallery/Albums???

treadmill!!! hahahahaha

yes. jpg. it's ok. it might just sort itself out eventually. not really a big issue. i was trying to post it the album i started before maintenance, i'll just try to post in a new album, that might work.

just a picture that's below 640x480. i use firefox and i always clean out everything including cookies everytime i close it. i've also tried to look for it and delete it manually. This is what i'm getting... < Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information. The image upload failed, please contact a system administrator.> anyway, i'll keep trying different files. Thanks!

just get a Hikky VF-1S and wait for the Max VF-1A. Swap the head+fuselage and wing w/ modex #. but i do hope they make the 1S max coz it seems pretty easy for them to do. however, the v.1 1/60 and 1/48 didn't release a Max 1S...

yeah the pics are great... great photography and great photoshopping (is this even a word???) but the valk still looks the same w/ the leg to shield gaps in fighter, hip placement and Urkel ankles/feet.

what if the middle part (between the pin ends) is the one that breaks because the area of the plastic there is lessened? i believe that that part doesn't even cover the whole middle of the pin.

can't seem to upload pics anymore since the Thanksgiving maintenance. is there a new rule for uploading pics? thanks.

yep.

me too.

well the owner of a local shop here says he emails the prez of Yamato and he guarantees that the new YF-19's he's selling is fixed. as for the other stores i've asked it's either "sorry, we don't open or play w/ the new ones" or "so far nobody who has bought it has complained"... BTW, i didn't buy it from that local store coz i bought mine from a different store w/c was selling it way cheaper... so in a sense i took a gamble and it paid off, and i'm pretty sure that there are very few first issue YF-19's left out there, so the % of getting a new and fixed one is pretty good. if the box has considerable shelf-wear then that could be a sign that it's not a new one. HLJ has a pretty good reputation so that's a plus.

yep... and i bought the FB+FP separately.

ok... well, good luck. BTW, i checked my 1J and it seems you can remove the shoulder hinge by removing the 3 screws on the backplate (opposite of the chestplate, i guess). 2 are the ones for fastening the wings, right and left side and the one in the middle bottom to fasten the metal swing bar. once you remove the screws, i'm guessing the two parts of the backplate can be separated to expose the shoulder hinge connection. hope this helps... i only tried to remove one of the screws for the wings to check if i can swap wings w/ modex #.

when my kid told me the Apatosaurus thing i didn't believe her at first... i told her, her teacher is wrong... until i googled it... but yeah, i like brontosaurus better... poor TF Sludge, will have an identity crisis

yep. the other one is the hardener... seems eugimon has done the epoxy fix... maybe sanding or filing it after will help. (and painting it white ) so where's the right shoulder hinge pin spur side pointing? up or down?
