Cool, Wicked Ace. I've got Hikaru's 1J on the way right now... Looking forward to having another drinking buddy

Thanks, BoBe-Patt. It was ~30 odd bucks. There's a sketch with it, but it's offset a little and stuck to the cel. Does anybody have any advice for un-sticking it? Or is it a lost cause? Now comes the fun part - rewatching Orguss so that I can find where it was used. Knowing Orguss, it'll probably show up in about 2/3rds of the episodes

It's not Macross, but here's my very first cel acquisition. Just got it today

You know, your pictures are actually accurate to the show Observe: HBT = Protoculture = Kirin Ichiban

To some small extent it's true... Take a look at any of the T. Suzuki Legioss model artwork for an example. In actuality, the nose does point up too much on the MPC (mainly due to lack of tolerance/clearance between aft of forward winglet area and fuselage, which pulls the whole nose "upward"). This is visually compounded by the layout of the paintscheme on the nose of the fighter, which "tricks" your eye into seeing it as more pronounced than it actually is.

Hey, neat mod Ruskii! Looks great. I'm glad I could help

Crasis, as was mentioned a page or so back, you need to fold the engine in as you're folding the seat up. Otherwise, it will not go.

One of my all-time favorite writers. R.I.P.

Motorcycle rider, that's yoo-oo-oo-ou Motorcycle touring, that's a-a-a-a-all

I received my MH Rey today . Fortunately, I haven't experienced any of the issues with it that others have mentioned here, with the exception of the upper leg joints being a touch too loose, which impairs its ability to stand freely. Other than that, I quite like it - it looks great set up on the display base in "Armer Mode", as it's printed on the box . I'll try to up some pics later, if my camera behaves.

Nevermind

Prototype pic of Beagle Ride Armor (from ToysDaily). It looks fantastic IMO, skinny legs and all

Damn. Hell has, in fact, frozen over. I've just strapped on my skates and preordered - thanks for the heads up.

Interesting... Could you record/upload or link to a sample, just so we know what to listen for?

I do like my hallucinogens, which probably explains why I like my MPC Alphas It is entirely possible that Rey happened into a stash of opium as well.

I think that he must have found and eaten some peyote. On that subject, has anybody else noticed that Macross' DYRL Bodolza fortress resembles nothing more than a bunch of peyote buttons?

Sundown, if you haven't seen this yet, you owe it to yourself to click here. One of the HKML guys posted this link here a while back.

...Sayeth he who hath attempted to ridicule the MW toy haters elsewhere. Nice

I think that your only recourse is either Ebay, or BBTS. You should have pretty decent chances of pulling a whole set from a box of ten; if not, I'm certain that folks here wil help you trade/obtain what you need.

JFC, Totoro. You put mine to shame. Very nice.

Just got mine in, was waiting for me when I got home from work a little while ago. Having missed out on the first release, I'm pleasantly surprised with the size of this. Most online reviews of the original release had seemed to make a big deal about its "diminutive" size; I'm assuming that this must have been qualified by either price or in reference to the old 1/3000 vintage releases. In cruiser mode, it's about the same size as a 1/60 VF-1, which is just fine by me. I'm impressed with the paint and molded detail, and everything seems to hold together quite nicely. I haven't tried transforming it yet (though I have mounted it up on its stand in cruiser mode). I think I may leave it there on the stand until I get tired of looking at it in cruiser!

This is what's left of my extras - now up for grab: VF-1A Hikaru Super = 3 VF-1J Max = 1 Please send me a PM if interested - First come, first serve. These will be sold at my purchasing cost ($5.55ea + Shipping).

Along with the Hikaru and Roy Supers it seems, at least in my case. Here is my condensed list: VF-1A Kakizaki = 2 (1 Missing Tailfin) VF-1A Hikaru = 2 VF-1A Hikaru Super = 4 VF-1S Roy Super = 4 VF-1J Max = 2 VT-1 = 4 Minmay Guard = 2

I finally got my Series Two boxes in Here is what I got, in order of opening, including exciting down-to-the-minute-RuskiiVFaussie-Christmas-joy-style comments: Box One: 1) VF-1A Hikaru Super (off to a nice start!) 2) VT-1 (Yes!) 3) VF-1S Minmay Guard (Cool!) 4) VF-1A Hikaru (...OK ) 5) VF-1J Max (Alright!) 6) VF-1S Roy Super (Yeah!) 7) VF-1A Kakizaki (Secret Figure - Ohhh Yeah) VT-1 (Double-Yes!) 9) VF-1A Hikaru Super (More Supers!) 10) VF-1S Roy Super (Even More Supers!) Good stuff, one box down, and already a full set plus desirable extras... Box Two 1) VF-1S Roy Super (Wow, yet another!) 2) 1A Super Hikaru (...and yet another!) 3) VT-1 (Cool! 3 VT-1s!) 4) VF-1A Kakizaki (Another secret Valk! Coolness... (more on this)) 5) VF-1S Roy Super (...er, OK, Yeah!) 6) VF-1A Super Hikaru (... And yet another, again!) 7) VT-1 (Wow, what's this, number four?!) Minmay Guard (Alright! F*ck Yeah!) 9) VF-1A Hikaru (...Cool) 10) VF-1J Max (Alright, another one to round it out!) From my first cursory inspection, it does look as if quality control is a little better than last time around. As mentioned earlier in the thread, paint and seamline work seems to be a bit better this time around... However, I still ended up with one of the same problems that I had on the first series: One of my Kakizaki 1As is missing a tailfin! Dammit, why the "secret" figure? Those who have followed this thread and the previous release may remember that I had the same problem with a VF-1J Millia from the first run Nonetheless, these are such extremely cool little guys that it really doesn't bother me that much. As I've mentioned previously, I'll make my extras available here at cost to anyone who wants them. The people who had asked me for them several months back will get first pick of the extras (you guys have PMs). I'll post up the remaining list of available valks soon. Also, sorry, no pics for now, as my stupid frickin' cardreader has suddenly decided not to read any of my SD cards.
