i thought it would be pics of the actual FPs of your new 1J... guess the wife still has the camera held hostage ... well, i'll take your word for it that it is actually lighter in color... i hope your optimism holds true...

LOL

the term "TOO expensive" is relative... relative to how much money you have. if you have TOO much money to spend, nothing is TOO expensive for you... - simple man's logic

fixed it...

i was wondering why the vf-25 thread slowed down... this thread might get to 100+ pages too before x-mas...

is this what you're looking for? - Link

just nitpicking ... i think the boosters are on the wrong side (left, right). the crosses should be showing on the outside. well, i put mine the other way around. it's one hell of a BIG bird ain't it.

Congrats on getting Nora... love the color and wicked in fighter mode and gerwalk mode. Re the adapter... you can actually use either the one for fighter (w/ 4 inserts) or the one for gerwalk (w/ 2). of course the one for fighter is more secure but the one for gerwalk is secure enough and easier to put on. to put it inside Nora ... you just need to spread her legs and thighs to be able to put it in . (for the thighs, you just need to angle them outward until it disconnects from the main body a little and then slide in the adapter.)

funny thing for me w/ the 1/48 is that what attracts it to me is what is prohibiting me from getting more (only have 1 and going the 1/60 v2 route)... the size. it is definitely better in fighter mode because of the sheer size, but because of it's size, it is more expensive and takes up so much space esp. in fighter mode coz of its length and wingspan... gotta get a bigger house if i will get the 1/48s, but then i won't have any more dough to spend for toys

liking it... can't wait...

Welcome to MW... PM'd you.

21 is pretty hard to pose standing w/ the small feet esp. when the ankles are fully extended as it should be in b-mode. i think the included stand w/c is the same w/ the sv-51's is just a way to charge for more $$$ BTW, has anybody bought the supposed "re-stock/re-issue" of the standalone YF-19 that was (and still is) made available again on Yamato's website a couple of months ago? I heard from one local shop that its supposed to be w/ the fixes according to correspondence from Yamato... but i want to make sure from somebody who's bought one recently...

CTMA centre in Mongkok... use google maps, very helpful.

seems you've been bitten by the bug. SV-51 is a good choice, wicked looking fighter mode. but you gotta buy a VF-1, 1/60 or 1/48... your choice. Even if it's the oldest looking valk in terms of design, it just never gets old to look at. I never get tired of looking at my VF-1's even if the other newer valks look cooler and more advanced. Get one, you won't regret it. The new VF-1J super coming out this nov. would be a good choice.

weathered tomahawk is on yamato website... 12,600 JPY photozoomer

59 bucks!?!? damn! it's being sold here for double that! oh, well...

nice! that's the big bad robot from robocop on the right!?!? wow, that's BIG! nice white wood laminated display cab. hope it becomes available here... can only find natural and wenge.

congrats! you gotta get the YF-21 too... and next year the VF-11B is gonna come out... gotta complete the mac+ valks!

lotsa great news... VF-1D is looking really sweet! can't wait...

WoW! yf-19 store!

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.
