yep. 100% pinoy. i think you also need to buy a couple of "balikbayan" boxes esp. if you're there for a couple more months. i think you've seen the term "valkoholism" being used here, and tell you what, it's true and these are not as cheap as coffee and cigarettes. but seriously, for a macross fan it's really satisfying owning these collectors' toys. so buy everything that you think you really want... but don't forget to read some of the problems that members have had w/ their Yamato valks and inspect your valk/s when you get them coz Yamato's QC isn't perfect... yet. Pray you don't get a lemon... g'luck bro.

Mabuhay! get the v.2 VF-1... but down the line you gotta get a YF-21. The Nora is damn sexy too! ... valks (and other toys i.e. SOCs etc) in greenhills are legit, but i think it would be cheaper to get it there coz of the exchange rate and vat... and the prices here are like the prices there plus shipping... plus your in cebu...

if i were to buy only one garland, which would be the best one to get? thanks.

LOL! michel's valk looks like he's putting his "thing" out there while luca is trying to hide his between his legs... hahaha

there should be an open poll to determine who bitched about it and bought it anyways and who has the willpower to actually wait 5-10 years. ...and even if bandai keeps the MacF license for that long, the so-called "new" macross fans, who's first foray into Macross is MacF, will find out that Macross goes way way back. and they're gonna read this thread and think "what are these Yamato valks that everybody keeps mentioning?"... and guess who else is gonna cash in on these new fans???

love that underside shot w/ black aces fast pack and the kite under the left wing. great job!

if it was nearer the color (w/ black markings) of those CAT trucks then it would've been okay w/ me, i think...

try lifting it up a little to the back. the head articulation on this 21 makes a world of difference when making dynamic poses, it made me like it more than the 11 and 19.

whew, that was long. but yeah, i guess we just need to let the kid in us just enjoy these "toys" instead of over-analyzing everything. If you have the money and think you'll like it just the way it is, then buy it. If not then don't buy it. If you're not sure and you have money to spare, buy it and keep it for a week and if you end up not being satisfied, then sell it...

its good that the defender on yamato's website is not yellow anymore

...just couldn't help noticing when i saw this pic again that the GNU YF-21's head is not facing forward... i only figured it out a couple of weeks after i bought it that the YF-21 actually has head articulation ...

looks like somebody pissed on that destroid. saw it on Yamato website and thought wtf!?

LOL! the most evident for me from the start was the way Alto's VF-25 comes up to the flight deck just like Hikaru's VF-1J. Also similar color scheme valks and both w/ 2 antennae. Also, when they say "thank you"...

yeah, crappy english dub > ultra crappy tagalog dub... i cringe whenever i see anime dubbed in tagalog on local channels! was 6.5...

ROLMFAO!

sorry for the stupid question... but for the life of me i can't remember why exactly Grace needed to infiltrate Frontier? was it just to get things going and find the vajra homeworld?

alto has some funky flexible fingers/pinky... how the hell did he do that gerwalk gesture w/ his hand!?

WTF? only watched the subbed... action was great, albeit a li'l rushed. wished it was a 2 ep special w/c i thought when i saw the file was 700Mb. ...apologies for beating an already dead horse here but, WhyTF make a love triangle and not resolve it!? didn't like it w/ M7, didn't like it here. Maybe i'm just still not over SDFM/DYRL and Hikaru+Misa. I hope they resolve it if they indeed make a MF movie... will watch it again w/ a bit more of an open mind... EDIT: after watching it again... it is an awesome ending to a great series even if the love triangle wasn't resolved.

thanks for the vid. nice complex transformation... tricky that part where he was stowing the cockpit/fuselage. can anybody tell if the model was painted or just snapbuilt? seems like the guy had some paint on his fingers....

while it's looking better, why DOES the nose slope downward esp in gerwalk? looks like a crow...

that would be a useful mod... i was able to lock that little tab in w/ a lot of squeezing but, yeah, if i even touch it just a little its going to pop out... oh well, everything is nice and flush now, i'm not gonna be touching it for a while....

THAT was painful to watch! guess it did fold in the show... but i don't think it can fold that way on the toy, tried it but didn't force it coz it feels like its going to break if i do. horrible singing...

the fins on the toy can't fold that way. and, honestly, it looks more like lazy animation/drawing than the fin being folded IMO. can't say for sure, i maybe wrong....
